The meaning of life is a fundamental philosophical discussion of human existence, chiefly consisting of interpretations such as: "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is the purpose of life?", and "What is valuable in life?" These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.

LIFE IS HAPPINESS.........................
Every one of us is searching after happiness, but we do not know what real
happiness is. We see so much advertised about happiness, but practically
speaking we see so few happy people. This is because so few people know that the
platform of real happiness is beyond temporary things. It is this real happiness
that is described in Bhagavad-gita by Lord Krsna to Arjuna.
Happiness is generally perceived through our senses A stone, for instance,
has no senses and cannot perceive happiness and distress. Developed
consciousness can perceive happiness and distress more intensely than
undeveloped consciousness. Trees have consciousness, but it is not developed.
Trees may stand for a long time in all kinds of weather, but they have no way of
perceiving miseries. If a human being were asked to stand like a tree for only
three days or even less, he would not be able to tolerate it. The conclusion is
that every living being feels happiness or distress according to the degree of
development of his consciousness.
The happiness that we are experiencing in the material world is not real
happiness. If one asks a tree, "Are you feeling happy?" the tree, if it could,
might say,"Yes, I am happy, standing here all year. I'm enjoying the wind and
snowfall very much, etc." This may be enjoyed by the tree, but for the human
being it is a very low standard of enjoyment. There are different kinds and
grades of living entities, and their conceptions and perceptions of happiness
are also of all different types and grades.

Life. What is the Purpose of Life? Life....Life....Life. People have so many opinions on this. But here is mine:
Life is not just breathing and spending your days. It is not waiting for death. Life is not about regret.
Life is about living. And when I say living I do not mean just breathing and walking and talking. I mean living.
I mean yelling across a mountain top just to hear words echo back to you.
I mean spreading your arms, getting bare feet, and dancing in the rain.
I mean sitting at a horizon and watching a sunset and letting all your days worries just dive away with that sun.
I mean singing at the top of your lungs without worrying if you sound good or bad.
I mean just running at full speed just 'cause.
I mean giving a destitute even a penny just to see a smile on their face.
I mean putting a big inspirational grin from your heart on your face even through moments of depression.
I mean putting a smile on those faces that are filled with sadness or wet with tears.
So, my friend, what is life? Life is simply living. But living for this world. There is so much sadness, melancholy, hate, sorrow, pain, and agony in this world. It wouldn't hurt to just get up in the morning and put a smile on your face. And think....that today...today...I'll live for this world. Today I'll dance in the rain just 'cause. Today I'll sing in a crowd just 'cause. Today I'll say hello to everyone I see just 'cause. Just 'cause there is enough sadness in this world...and maybe, just maybe, if I can put a smile on my face and cheer someone else up...AKA live for this world....maybe, just maybe, There will be some...a little bit of less sadness and melancholy in this world. Maybe...Just Maybe.
There you go, that's my opinion. Life is living for this world and without a reason. Just living for this world....just 'cause. Just cause you want to lessen that sadness that weighs this world down.

everyone has thier own thought on this, but me personally being a muslim it's about doing good in the world, treating others with respects, not harming no one, basically living life as purely as possible so when u die and judgement day comes, allah will decide weather u've done enough good to enter paradise/heaven...

The universe and everything in it exist without meaning, it is up to the inhabitants to find their own meaning.

We make our own meaning....
Having trouble? Work it out. You'll find meaning in it.
Tired? Rest.
Hungry? Eat.
Sad? Perk up.
Lonely? Seek friendship.
If you fail to find meaning in satisfying these simple needs, you will never find true meaning in your life.
