...and live content and happy...

No, I won't. Because I'm pretty sure that the whole 'meaning of life' deal involves finding it out on your own at some level or the other, otherwise, there's not much 'meaning' to it. Finding it out on your 'own' would imply that the person 'really' wants to learn about it. Else, won't it be futile to just declare it to people who don't give a damn about it?
Then again, I might be completely mistaken... but from what I've experienced and studied hitherto, that's my opinion :)

nope, happiness is not about finding the meaning and purpose and success and wealth and true love and soulmate and everything you can think of. happiness isnt an external factor and above all the "if" word is a big no no to it. It is a decision, with or with out meaning, you have to decide to be happy right at the moment then eventually you will find everything falling into their proper places. happiness for me is finding the beauty in confusion, being content in whatever you have, living life lightly and joyfully.

Of course I would share the 'meaning of life' that I have found personally in my life. But I also think that is a personal quest we all embark upon and we all must find our own particular contentment and happiness.
My life is meaningful because I have the hope of a life to come in another place, another time: this is just a dressing room to eternity. Someday I want to meet my Creator in peace. That is the meaning I have found in my life.
And here on this earth, I have my husband of 47 years, four children, eight grandchildren and one great granddaughter. We are not rich, but we are blessed. We have trials, sorrow, sickness, disappointment and heartache as do everyone in this life, but we are blessed.
My life is a 'thank you' note to God. And that makes my life 'meaningful' to me.

yours is a trick question really.
I HAVE found the meaning to life .
Sharing that is a prerequisite to keeping what Ive found but sharing my belief does not always bring happiness and contentment but hatred and contempt from those I share it with.
read Plato,s allegory of the cave for deeper understanding .
peace of Christ ><>

Yes I found the meaning of life and I've been telling anyone who asks and who hears.
The meaning of life is to love, agape.
To love God first and foremost and to love your neighbour as you would want to be loved. I have found other reasons for the meaning of life but I've never found anything that goes beyond that. "To Love". As simple as it is; it is not easy! Simplicity doesn't mean you can skate through life it means that there are no secrets, no hidden agendas, no ulterior motives, or religion, or payments to be made, or complicated explanations. It is simple. But very difficult to live with any meaning.

My Son is all the reason I need to be happy with my life.
