What's the meaning of life?

Answer 1

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.....

Answer 2

Life is like the weather. We have everyday feelings and thoughts, etc. Sometimes life can be miserable and sad. Life = .Reality.

Answer 3

life is nothing. the choices that we make along the way is what determines our travels thru this mysterious place we call home. don't take life to seriously or you will miss all the love, laughter, and thrills along the way.

Answer 4

This differs from one person to another. but one thing's for sure.. we should know that our main purpose in life is to improve our spiritual being, our soul. In some point of view, we should improve our way of life so as our soul could be like the saints and thus can attain the promised land that God has laid for us. We should just let ourselves submissive to His care and everything will fall to its place. That's our main purpose to improve oneself and let our fellow brothers and sisters know it that God is with us and is waiting for us to come back to His embrace.
