What is the meaning of life?

Answer 1

Whatever you make of it.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.
~God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled.
~Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
~I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.
~The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without, and to depart.
~Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.

Answer 4

"Live life to the fullest" Like nobody's heard that one before. But it's true. Live your life the way you want (but listen to rules in the beginning when youre young) but once you get older, break free from the constricts binding you and you're free to do as you please. Now what's left in life is to be the best you can be and fully bring out the greatest within you. Only then have you accomplished the greatest mission of all. Living your life.

Answer 5

The meaning of life is different for each individual. My meaning of life is to live good, healthy and happy. To love often and try not to hate. What's yours?

Answer 6

As individuals it varies. I think we all have our own personal callings in life. As a whole I believe we are meant to work together trying to advance our knowledge and understanding of life itself. We are to come together and attempt for a world of peace. Just love your fellow man.
