I think the meaning of life is love.We should help everyone and everything.Without love, the world would end. Everybody has different callings,beliefs,and need to find what they're meant to do and who they are.The one think we share is that we all love somebody or something.We can make the world a better place by sharing our gifts with others and loving everyone as much as we love our family,friends,or even ourselves.

In a nutshell acording to the Anceint Vedic wisdom, and what I also accept.-
We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies. This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. We fell here due to envying Gods position. He made the material world for those who want to try to live separately from Him (Which is impossible because He is actually everywhere). After many lifetimes of trying to be happy in this temporary world one becomes frustrated and board and begins to question their existence. We then seek out real happiness, and when one becomes sincere God reveals how to come back Home. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which begins with the chanting of the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can give up all material attachments and fully surrender to God and return to the eternal Kingdom, where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. For info. Go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita- As it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada asitis.com you can read it on line. I am glad to see the teachers are having their students seek something worthwile.

I have found that feeling truly loved by my husband & extended family & friends brings me great happiness & fullfillment. I really enjoy spending time with all of them. I spend quite a bit of energy having family gatherings during the year, it really makes me happy.
If I thought all was going to end in moments from now; at least I left happy.

Were here to serve g-d and follow his commandments... and part of those commandments include things like how we treat each other, how we treat ourselves ( our bodies physically and spiritually etc) and enjoying life. He wants us to enjoy life.. and grow... serving G-d is the short version.. what falls under that is TONS!!! too much to answer here!

To experience as much pleasure as I can while I can. It's a simply objective, but the hard part is figuring out what brings you pleasure and how to acquire it.
