I think the meaning of life is to find meaning in your life.

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.....

No meaning at all.
We are all part of the Circle of Life in the micro and macro Universe. That's all.

Seems many people were not paying attention so I will spill the beans one more time...but that's all...One more: Life is that part between birth and death.
Just feel for a pulse.

There is none. Agent Smith's analysis of human life in the Matrix is very appropriate.

The meaning of life, the universe and everything is...fourty-two. The real problem is...what it the question?
Been there, done that...

If you want a well thought out answer, you should add some detail on what you think about it and why you're asking the question. Don't expect answerers to spend more time than you did.
