What is the true meaning of life? please give me your feed back?

Answer 1

The philosophical question "What is the meaning of life?" means different things to different people. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many 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 valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.

These questions are separate from the scientific issue of the boundary between things with life and inanimate objects.
Popular beliefs
"What is the meaning of life?" is a question many people ask themselves at some point during their lives, most in the context "What is the purpose of life?" Here are some of the many potential answers to this perplexing question. The responses are shown to overlap in many ways but may be grouped into the following categories:

Survival and temporal success
...to live every day like it is your last and to do your best at everything that comes before you
...to be always satisfied
...to live, go to school, work, and die
...to participate in natural human evolution, or to contribute to the gene pool of the human race
...to advance technological evolution, or to actively develop the future of intelligent life
...to compete or co-operate with others
...to destroy others who harm you, or to practice nonviolence and nonresistance
...to gain and exercise power
...to leave a legacy, such as a work of art or a book
...to eat
...to prepare for death
...to spend life in the pursuit of happiness, maybe not to obtain it, but to pursue it relentlessly.
...to produce offspring through sexual reproduction (alike to participating in evolution)
...to protect and preserve one's kin, clan, or tribe (akin to participating in evolution)
...to seek freedom, either physically, mentally or financially
...to observe the ultimate fate of humanity to the furthest possible extent
...to seek happiness and flourish, experience pleasure or celebrate
...to survive, including the pursuit of immortality through scientific means
...to attempt to have many sexual conquests (as in Arthur Schopenhauer's will to procreate)
...to find and take over all free space in this "game" called life
...to seek and find beauty
...to kill or be killed
...No point. Since having a point is a condition of living human consciousness. Animals do not need a point to live or exist. It is more of an affliction of consciousness that there are such things as points, a negative side to evolutionary development for lack of better words.

Wisdom and knowledge
...to master and know everything
...to be without questions, or to keep asking questions
...to expand one's perception of the world
...to explore, to expand beyond our frontiers
...to learn from one's own and others' mistakes
...to seek truth, knowledge, understanding, or wisdom
...to understand and be mindful of creation or the cosmos
...to lead the world towards a desired situation
...to satisfy the natural curiosity felt by humans about life

Ethical
...to express compassion
...to follow the "Golden Rule"
...to give and receive love
...to work for justice and freedom
...to live in peace with yourself and each other, and in harmony with our natural environment
...to protect humanity, or more generally the environment
...to serve others, or do good deeds

Religious and spiritual
...to find perfect love and a complete expression of one's humanness in a relationship with God
...to achieve a supernatural connection within the natural context
...to achieve enlightenment and inner peace
...to become like God, or divine
...to glorify God
...to experience personal justice (i.e. to be rewarded for goodness)
...to experience existence from an infinite number of perspectives in order to expand the consciousness of all there is (i.e. to seek objectivity)
...to be a filter of creation between heaven and hell
...to produce useful structure in the universe over and above consumption (see net creativity)
...to reach Heaven in the afterlife
...to seek and acquire virtue, to live a virtuous life
...to turn fear into joy at a constant rate achieving on literal and metaphorical levels: immortality, enlightenment, and atonement
...to understand and follow the "Word of God"
...to discover who you are
...to resolve all problems that one faces, or to ignore them and attempt to fully continue life without them, or to detach oneself from all problems faced

Philosophical
...to give life meaning
...to participate in the chain of events which has led from the creation of the universe until its possible end (either freely chosen or determined, this is a subject widely debated amongst philosophers)
...to know the meaning of life
...to achieve self-actualisation
...all possible meanings have some validity
...life in itself has no meaning, for its purpose is an opportunity to create that meaning, therefore:
...to die
...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
...nature taking its course (the wheel of time keeps on turning)
...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"
...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever
...life may actually not exist, or may be illusory )
...to contemplate "the meaning of the end of life"

Other
...to contribute to collective meaning ("we" or "us") without having individual meaning ("I" or "me")
...to find a purpose, a "reason" for living that hopefully raises the quality of one's experience of life, or even life in general
...to participate in the inevitable increase in entropy of the universe
...to make conformists' lives miserable
...to make life as difficult as possible for others (i.e. to compete)

Well, We are born into this earth. So we have to perform some duties for which we are born. Later we will perish. So the duties which we do is of utmost importance. It should have positive outlook and not a negative thought filled. If so it has its own repercussions. Example when you throw a ball to a wall it bounces back to you. Similarly if you do good, you and your children will face good and your surroundings will be good. If you are bad, similarly have to face bad things in life. The true meaning of life to explain is very short here. So, in short, i would advise you is when you do some good deeds, you will have that self satisfaction. In the end you will have the satisfaction that you have done something good for others and the society and die at peace. Else, face your karma. But the real fact is that we bear the sins of our forefathers which has to be erased else the generations continue to fulfill yours and your forefathers. So always do good and be good. You will be nearing god. Best of luck. & Keep smiling it increases your face value.

The meaning and purpose of life is determined by your choices and your actions within the framework of your mental,emotional,physical,and spiritual being. The meaning and purpose of life is determined by how you live up to the time of death. Add to that-- the level of development of your relationships with other selves, of your relationships with the surroundings in the physical universe within which you live, and most importantly your emotional maturity and the qualities of your evolving mind and it's libraries of beliefs, knowledge, abilities, concepts and theories and understandings.

I hope this helps you to narrow down your Questions to specifics rather than generalities which mean different things to different people.

Answer 4

That which the formal manifestations of human beings refer to as "reality" (or at least 'normal' or 'waking' reality) is, from the experience and perception of the ultimate reality; the transcendent state of being, none other than a Cosmo-egocentric illusion, perpetuated by the stream of consciousness clinging to the micro-speck of subjective identity, which in-and-of-itself is no more or less real than the supreme state of the ultimate reality in transcendental consciousness, yet it remains wholly separateness and discrimination of "self" from the Brahman.

Answer 5

the meaning of life is different to each person. for me...it's to understand who we really are with the good and the bad. the act that u do in ure life is the one that will become ure true meaning of life.

Answer 6

Unless you are a created being (meaning God), you cannot have any true meaning or purpose. All those who reject God also reject true meaning and true purpose; all they are seeking are good FEELINGS.

If we are truly to have worth, we must have purpose and if we only FEEL as if we have purpose, then our worth is also just a FEELING.

This is a really tough choice, but to have TRUE meaning and TRUE purpose, you MUST seek your Creator. There is no other way.

Scientific-reproduce
Society says-family and good job
I say- it doesn't matter how dirty your house is, or how you cook, or what you make or how many people who go out with, what matters is having happy kids, spouse and a happy home. most importantly, having someone to tell you how much you mean to them. if you don't feel like having a family, then have some really good friends and be happy about who you are.

Answer 8

The meaning of your life is up to you! Life is whatever you make of it. You can make it mean whatever you want.

You are lucky to be a free soul, with your own free will. If anyone else could tell you the meaning of your life, you wouldn't be free.
