To love and make somebodys life that much better. To become a success within yourself and be truelly happy.

mmm, I love this question.

I believe in G-d, and His mission to prove to all creation that He is just. I believe there is a war between good and evil, and as such the purpose of my life is to choose a side and live accordingly. The meaning of life is based on all this. In the meantime I live, work, and love.

Some may scoff at belief systems – but in the end, when we die, it does little harm to anyone to have believed in something.

This question has been asked before twice. I thin everyone has a different definition of life. For me, life is a quest to better understand my own mind ,to make an attempt to change the world and cherish life for what it is.

“what is the meaning of life?”- sorry but if you think about it it doesn’t really make any sense, there isnt a meaning to life because the question your asking is too broad, start out with something smaller like “how did we become to be humans?” or the meaning of life could be 42, LOL

although 42 is the best possible answer, the meaning of life is totally unknown. to me, humans are extremely naive and trying to put sense to things that are out of our league. in order to make things comprehendable, we have created religion. religion specifically answers questions that are not easily answered logically. so, in reality, most of us do not want to hear the cold hard truth because it may not be something that we want to hear. to our primitive, spoiled minds, belief that some god will “save” us in our time of need, or that we will all be reincarnated into glorious super-human beings, is logical when we are presented with the facts that, maybe, we are just part of the circle of life. this circle, unforgiving, represents life and death. the fluff in between holds no relevance to anything and will not be remembered 200 yrs from now. so, in short, we should all try to experience life to the fullest. yes, you should go bunjee jumping this weekend, and yes, spend good money on those 100$ shoes. because if you dont enjoy your life in those moments between birth and death, then you havent completed your meaning of life. therefore, the meaning of our individual lives can be boiled down to a mission: do what has to be done to enjoy your life. ........or maybe this whole paragraph is a load of crap and we are all slaves to the matrix… lol
