Question

Just what is the meaning of life?

Answer 1

Life is a condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects, i.e. non-life, and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally. A physical characteristic of life is that it feeds on negative entropy.[1][2] In more detail, according to physicists such as John Bernal, Erwin Schrödinger, Wigner, and John Avery, life is a member of the class of phenomena which are open or continuous systems able to decrease their internal entropy at the expense of substances or free energy taken in from the environment and subsequently rejected in a degraded form (see: entropy and life).[3][4]

A diverse array of living organisms can be found in the biosphere on Earth. Properties common to these organisms—plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea and bacteria—are a carbon- and water-based cellular form with complex organization and heritable genetic information. They undergo metabolism, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their environment in successive generations.

An entity with the above properties is considered to be a living organism, that is an organism that is alive hence can be called a life form. However, not every definition of life considers all of these properties to be essential. For example, the capacity for descent with modification is often taken as the only essential property of life. This definition notably includes viruses, which do not qualify under narrower definitions as they are acellular and do not metabolise. Broader definitions of life may also include theoretical non-carbon-based life and other alternative biology. Some forms of artificial life, however, especially wet artificial life, might alternatively be classified as real life.

Answer 2

If anybody figures this out, please tell me! So far, my life has just been one struggle after another. Just when everything is finally good, and I'm finally happy and at peace, then someone or something yanks the rug out from under me!
My purposes have been 1) to raise two great kids into great young adults. 2) I like to think I made my husband's last 7½ years on this planet happy ones, and I was holding his hand when he left me. He waited until we were alone in the room. I know he did that on purpose. It was a private moment, not meant to be shared with the whole gaggle of relatives hanging around.
My purpose now seems to be to look after our kitty-cat. I thought maybe my new purpose was to bring joy to my fiance's life, but it doesn't seem to be working out that way. He can't let go of his old life, either. So maybe I'm just meant to take care of fuzzy-butt, I don't know.
I hang onto the promise that when I die, all things will be made known to me. That Q & A session ought to take up the first millenium or so! Until then, I have no clue what the meaning or point of all this really is.
I don't want this to sound blasphemous, but I sometimes think God made us all just to have something to do! It would have to get boring just hanging around in nothingness forever and ever, wouldn't you think? Makes sense to me.

Answer 3

No such meaning exists. Philosophers and others have debated this question for eons without coming up with a plausible answer. The PURPOSE of our lives is known as we live it. The meaning of all life will be sought after forever but when you die you will then know what it was.

Answer 4

Life is to experience good times and bad, heartache and heartbreak, love and hate, pain and pleasure, and much more. No one has all the answers to the meaning of life
