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.....

Their really isnt a meaning to life. Life just happened because it all worked out with the right circumstances. Make your own meaning to life, then maybe it will mean more to you because it came from your own personal views and feelings.

It is as if we all woke up at a bus station with amnesia, unable to recall how we came to be there. We have this nagging feeling that we are on an important mission but we can't remember what. We look at posters of various cities and decide where to travel based on how much we think we will like our destination and so our important mission turns into our own mission to find good feelings for ourselves. A few people protest, "why not at least try to find who put us here and why".

No meaning at all. You are the one who define the life. You are the meaning. You, your ideas, your hopes, your faith, what you believe, your experiences give the meaning of life.

nobody can tell you the answer to that question.nobody can tell you what's right for you,only you can.
just work hard to find your own piece of mind and do what's right for your life and time will tell.
