I don't understand the true meaning of life. It has puzzled me. So help me and tell me what you think it is.

    I have thought about it many times.. My conclusion? To live
    Anything and many things can happen anytime, anywhere...and you don't know for sure what happens beyond death, just live life as you chose it and live it well.

    The meaning of life will differ between people because of their religious beliefs (which we can't talk about here) or lack of.

    For me, there is no "meaning of life". You live, and you die, like any other living creature on earth. But since we have advanced thinking, we try to pursue some kind of happiness and try to make a positive difference in somebody elses life. Why? I don't know b:victory

    1. you are born
    2. you grow
    3. reproduce(greatly desired yet optional)
    4. you die
    Humans are the only organisms that seeks something beyond what life is. The truth is that everything except these four points is based on the individual. Yet how many can accept this?

    Only by understanding death,we will be able to understand the reasons for life.Philosophical thought for u there =) And dude from above is just stating an materialistic belief without evidence whatsoever.

    All depends on personal belief, or what you make of your own life I suppose; what purpose you give to yourself. We manufacture purpose because not knowing or understanding is terrifying - the same reason we fantasize different "afterlives."

    Although it's not a personal belief of mine for everyone to have the same purpose, if there were such a purpose I believe it'd be incomprehensible to humans. Like a dolphin understanding nuclear physics, or explaining the 3D world to a 2D person. If there were a "God" per se, it makes sense to me that this God would be so far removed from our level of understanding that just thinking about it is completely futile. Bit of an agnostic view, I suppose.

    But that's just me.

    I'm a christain, so the meaning to my life is to try to follow God no matter wat.
    If i mess up there is forgiveness.
    I kno im going to need it cuz im a human being and I mess up but I kno im going to try not to.
    During my time alive ( cuz I kno im going to die,) Im going to do things that will make me and the Lord happy.
    For example, Im getting married and I'll start a family and so on.

    I say this in hope that it will give u an Idea of wat u want. u hav to fiuer out wat u want ur life to be on ur own...

    Monty Python told me "Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."

    Perhaps there is no meaning to life other than the fact that we just exist, or is it that we really dont exist but we think we do? If there is a meaning to life, then its probably something that we just cant realize because we all think it is something big, complicated, and complex. Maybe the meaning of life is just to exist, or make a mark in the universe, even if it wont last. Sorry for the metaphysics.
    I'm not mean I'm just being honest.

    I'm not insensitive, I just don't give a S.H.I.T!

    The problem is there is no objective way to anwer the question without going into

    A.Existentialism.B.Metaphysics.C.Religion.D.Spiritualism

    Which one of these have phenomena which can objectively be verified?
    Your answer is through one of those doors.

    No, 42 is the answer to life, not the meaning of it.

    And the meaning of life is death.

    Right.I answer this with another question:

    What's the meaning of the universe?
    What was BEFORE the Big Bang?
    Even if I'm a Christian(Orthodox,to be more specific),I believe in reincarnation.The purpose of life?Death.Why die?To live.
    What a paradox,eh?
    People have the right to be stupid,some of them just abuse that privilege.

    Here is something that will twist your mind.

    Your life is a dream, when you die you actually wake up!! O.o

    To be honest I think the meaning of life is to have fun and love one another, and to play PWI!!

    The meaning of life is...CHEESE!b:victory

    Ok, seriously...b:chuckle

    The meaning and purpose of life is to to love and fill everywhere you go and everything that you with love. Then to realize that we are love and although we may seek the answers of the deepest mysteries of the screen of life in our outside world, we find that these very answers that we have been looking for throught the ages have been inside ourselves the whole time, you just have to look deep into yourself to find them. The concept of death, suffering and misery are illusions created by negative human thoughts that are turned into actions and the true essence of Spirit is love, that is what truly makes the world go around. Death, because its an illusion caused by the "separation" of Spirit and Matter, dosen't exist and there is only life since the positive will always overcomes the negative and since everything is life there is no death. Life is just expressed in different ways, weather its life in the essence of Spirit or in our dense Matter universe. The Law of Matter Conservation that says that matter cant be created or destroyed, we can apply it to this concept, meaning that life and love can't be created or destroyed because love and life ARE (have always been there, is there and will always be there) thus being infinite and eternal. b:pleased

    If you think love dies when you suddenly hate someone or something, love is still there but it has been changed of polarity (not talking specifically about magnetic charge). All poles of something are the same. Love and hate are the same, just of oppoiste poles, and love can become hate and hate can become love therefore there is just love in distinct forms. Since the nature of things is to always express itself in the positive (good) pole love and life will always triuphm.

    Another simpler example is Hot and Cold, they are the same thing, temperature, but when is it Hot and when is it Cold (it may be cold to you but hot for me), when is it hate or when is it love, it all depends on perspective. Life follows the same concept, a dead tree may seem lifeless but its still just as alive as before but in a diferent way, now it becomes soil and becomes just as alive in something else. When someone dies they are just as alive as before but instead of being in the plains of Matter they are now in the plains of Spirit. Matter and Spirit are another example of extremes therefore being one, as Matter serves as the chalice for Spirit to descend, just like water in a cup, the cup gives the water a place to carry on its purpose and the cup serves the purpose for its creaton. This Law of Polarity can be applied to everything and anything, try it and you will see that all opossites may seem to be different things but they are one.

    Note: Love and life here are used in an abstract term and not in a specific expression of the two such as the love for others or the life of a flower.
