I have heard a lot already. But there's no meaning. So what is the meaning of life?

Okay, but you won't believe me. Nature developed every other living creature to their full potential, but NOT MAN. Man was only developed up to a certain point. If a person wants to complete their evolution...and there is only ONE kind of evolution...the evolution of consciousness...they must DO the work THEMSELVES. If they don't, then they remain undeveloped beings all their lives. Oh, they may be married, have kids, have a great career, may be a humanitarian...but they are UNDEVELOPED. Once you wake up, the whole picture changes.

Meaning of life and purpose of life are essentially the same thing. Meaning refers to actions and purpose refers to objects but both require an intelligent plan or design. There is no meaning in babble and no purpose for a rock on mars.
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell
Without God, we are reduced to inventing something to do that we can pretend comes from a higher source. Inventing our own purpose or meaning is self deception.
If God exists, then our purpose is to seek Him. If we were in the army and didn't know our mission, wouldn't we seek our commanding officer? Well, our purpose on earth is our mission and God is our commanding officer.

Life to some is power, life to another is love. Although power and love seem distant they are practically the same. The love for power, the ability to rencopisate for what you have lost, friends, family, etc. thus giving you the desire to gain power thus once you gain power you fall in love with it because it is the only thing to look forward to in your life. Although power seems wrong to many power is one of the ways to get people to respect you thus respect is equivilent to love thus power is a way to forcibly bond yourself with someone else My idea of life is to learn from the mistakes of our father, mother, brother, sister thus if we all understood history and corrected ourself after the discovery of what happened to Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini we would be in a better place.

Life is a test. God tests us by giving us obstacles like death of a loved one, etc. and sees how we overcome them. Sometimes we make mistakes and sometimes we do the right thing. Also, the other purpose of life is to worship God and be good. And that's the meaning of life, atleast in my opinion.

The meaning of life is....life isn't about what you do,how great you become or how famous.It's about how many lives you touch...even in small ways.Everything happens for a reason.

Everyone has an individual answer to this question. How can you be the ultimate version of yourself? How can you bring that ultimate self to the world in an important way?

1. To gain knowledge.
2. To love, and be loved.

Do what you will, and try not to hurt anyone along the way. Find the balance between happiness and selfishness.
