What is the Meaning of Life?

The meaning of life is different for everyone for no two people are ever the same. Thus the answer to this question is simple everyone has a different meaning to their life.


In light of this truth, the next step to answering this question is to find our own meaning in life which, can be easily be found by first discovering what its not; something that can only be found by studying other common %26quot;meanings for life%26quot;.
What is the Meaning of Life?
The earthy life is a jail. We are entertaining ourselves in order to preparing our death.





The clock is clicking and the execution time is coming!





Enjoy yourself as much as possible, so that you will not regret to live in this world.
What is the Meaning of Life?
I believe the purpose to life is so that that which is EVERYTHING can experience differentiation. If you were everything you%26#039;d also be nothing. Thust, no experiences. Break yourself up into countless fragments, invest each one into something and set it apart from you to %26#039;live%26#039; until such point as it returns into you and you then assimalte all those experiences.


We live so that God/dess may live. :)

Reply:life would seem to have no intrinsic meaning i.e we are not here for a special reason, staying with this feeling can only lead to despair and depression. Therefore we must find or give meaning to every day life, finding what %26#039;float your boat%26#039; or inspires you, lay key to leading an inspired life.
Reply:The meaning of life is to reach your full potential.


Use your skills and talents.


To be a good friend, neighbour and member of society.
Reply:The %26quot;meaning%26quot; of life is a misleading phrase anyway. It denotes some sort of extra authority on humans, that we have a %26quot;meaning%26quot;, we are not so important. Isntead we serve a function, not a meaning. This function is to continue the human race, maintain the ecosystem and contribute to its wellbeing. There is no spiritual answer, because none of that is true, we are not here to %26quot;spread the word of god%26quot; etc. We are here to perform a simple function, reproduce, interact and die.

Nothing.


I rest my case.
Reply:Answer a question with a question. What is the meaning of %26quot;meaning%26quot;? For centuries philosophers have discussed the %26#039;meaning%26#039; of life, and did not find an answer, because the word meaning in that sentence does not have the same meaning as in the sentence: %26quot;What do you mean?%26quot; Where the latter asks for an explanation, your question asks an opinion. My opinion is: You are here to train to become like God. Power. Miracle. Wise. Guru. Exalted etc.


Peace.
Reply:I do not know the meaning of life.





God is Wise.


The Wise Creator plays not with his creations.


Hence there must be a meaning in every bit of His creations.





I believe in God, so I believe that there must be a meaning of life. But it does not make me know what exactly the meaning is. I am still ignorant of this.





If I start with any assumption other than assuming God, I fail to arrive at any possibility of anything that may be called “meaning”. I may assume any meaning of life for me, but that shall just be a despotic assumption.





In either way the truth is that I do not know yet what the meaning is.
Reply:It is true that every one has their own meaning of life. To me life is a chance to understand the deeper workings of the world and to discover my true self.





For me life is all about living it the way I want to live it and living life to the fullest. To me it is also about living each day without regrets.





To me life is an one and only chance to discover the deeper workings of the world, discover my true self and living my footprints behind.


To me, we were given a chance in life so we found out all we can about the world we live in and uncover the mysteries of the world, and then leave all our knowledge behind to the people who will follow our footsteps.


Many people live their life without truely understanding themselves. So I believe that life is also a chance to gain better understanding of ourselves.





People say that when near death your whole life flashes before your eyes and you finally understand the mysterious of the world, and of course you will be able to fully understand yourself. But sadly, if you do survive that near death situation you would not remember all the wonderful things that you saw through death%26#039;s gate. However you will be granted with a better understanding of the world than everyone else.





Life is short so live it to the fullest, say what you mean and live everyday without regrets. That%26#039;s my interpretation of life.

Life as a Mission~~Life as a calling, to see life as a single complex mission.





Life as an Adventure~~Similar to life as a story yet life as an Adventure is about thrill living and trying everything once.





Life as Disease~~ The view that we are all %26#039;sick%26#039; (diseased), not being sick or being healthy means living a prefect life yet because that is not possible we are all sick and life is a disease.

Reply:Life has no meaning, if you want your life to mean something you have to enjoy it while you can.

Reply:The meaning of life is to put meaning into it. There is no different or hidden meaning there. Every person has a different way of putting meaning into his/her life.
