As the nation that first questioned our perpouse her i thought there might be some insights to my question.I will not give my view just the fact that i agree with Socrates?when he said ""the un examined life is not worth living!""
So?

For clarity sake:My view is that we are here for a higher perpouse.I think we have lessons to learn and we are chalanged in life so that we learn these lessons.I think we are on a journey to try and ''perfect''ourselves.I also believe in ''karma'' i.e that all our actions have a re action in this lifetime.Those are my views and i would like to hear from others of their own views?

agree with your view.
As a matter of fact I also believe in the view that we are here to learn a lesson/s about the life we are living at present time.
I believe that our souls will reincarnate enough times sufficient to learn the required lessons needed to move on to the next level of existence,
...and that's why you can meet people that, even though they are chronologically old they behave like kids, and kids that behave like an old person, it is the soul you see ...that is the reason there is a phrase that is said to some:.."you are an old soul"!
what we alll need to do is to try to figure out what is the lesson/s we are supposed to learn from the life we are in, take it to heart, and correct whatever incorrect behaviour we are doing.
simple!
hope my thoughts help.

Why must there be "meaning" in life? And if there must be why not assign one or two (or more) yourself?
Many people are satisfied by the various old and new mythologies. If you have a personal need to attach yourself to one, then seek them out and see which makes the most sense to you. "The purpose driven life" is a current best seller that may answer your question. Did not do much for me.

I also believe in the same things, that we are here in order to leave something to this world so that when we are gone we would have done something useful. We should try and improve ourselves more and more each day, but why is that question in the Travel category? I think Phylosophy is a better category for your question.

I myself believe that the meaning of life is different for each and everyone of us.What everyone pursues is different,but there is one common thing:Everyone is looking for happiness.I think that's our goal in life,to find the thing that will make us completely happy,since if you look everyone around you is searching just for that:Happiness.And it comes in many forms,since not everybody can be happy with the same thing.Some feel happy if they are successful in their jobs,others want to have a huge family with a lot of kids.Some may be happy just by finding that right person and others may experience true happiness by helping others.
So my friend to me,the meaning of life for everyone is different,but the cause of the meaning is the same:To be 100% happy...only then will we be able to move on to something different.
These are my thoughts on the subject,I do think though that when posting a question like this one you should also express your personal beliefs and opinions.

For me?To overpass all the insecurities and complexes everyone has inside him, and to liberate his existence from all the fears..
It is bad living with the ''vampires of Ipsen''in the real life

If you ask a question requesting an answer with honesty and integrity, then you need to word your question better. So?
