Nothing has meaning until we give it meaning, and humans are meaning-making machines. Your life (and anything/everything else) will have whatever meaning you assign to it, no more, no less. Our actions are dictated by the meaning we have invented or adopted. Just something to think about.

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.
I've come to two conclusions recently:
1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.
First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.
Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.
So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.
To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

The meaning.... best... meanings...
I believe that don´t exist THE meaning of life...
I believe that the meanings are revealing themselves in the commonness
In moments the human being does not know the meanings but the important is the action, the reflexion, and the motivation of to be a best person

You will not get the answer as the question is meaningless. It assumes a meaning. like Will the train to London start on time from here. ( I am in Sydney!)

I don't think it has a proper answer either. But, asking my opinion, i say the meaning of life is to reserve your table in Heaven's Restaurant. =)
