The meaning of life is to always wonder about what might be the meaning of life. Its like a rat in one of those spinning circles..you just keep wondering and wondering but you never get anywhere

Everyone has their own meaning. We're all on Earth for a purpose because God dosn't make junk! Life is where we are until Heaven is ready for us to die and come to it. This is just temporary, we're all just "passing through!" Life is about freedom, loyalty, happiness. To learn and explore! To protect each other, no matter the consequences! And having faith in everyone, even those who seem helpless! Also forgiving those who bring you harm. And to be truthful and happy! That is my idea of how life should be. What if family's spent more time together? What if more people took time to understand each other? How about if people help those in need and talk to the lonely and help out the weak? That is my meaning of life!

A thought I always ponder, not necessarily ' the meaning', but the destiny or the plan...\n\nMaybe we were a plan of the universe from the moment of its' creation in order to thwart its' inevitable demise billions of years from now.  The universe 'knew' it was going to create conditions likely for intelligent life to form in hopes that one day that  life created would come to grips with the workings of universe and space to the point that it wolud figure out a way for it to exist forever.\n\nTherefore the meaning of an individuals life is to add to the progression of society in anyway.  In other words, do what you like to do that contributes.  It could be something as trivial as smiling at everyone you meet.

For the Monty Python film see The Meaning of Life\nThe philosophical question "What is the meaning of life?" means different things to different people. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many interpretations, such as: "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.\n\nBottom line for me is that we are here and we should do the best that we can with whatever choices we make, the roads we travel and the experiences we are given.  While I believe in God, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS what any of this means, until they pass on.  There hasn't been any one who has died and come back to tell us all about it, so we won't know until we go there ourselves.

To me life is how you make it. As humans we only know so far that we have one life. Ever day i choose to get even when the previous day was horrible. With all the bad things that have happened to me a my young age i am greatful for my life. Life is complicated yet it is simple. It is the good and the bad times. It is the decison that you make to get up to breathe to even eat. Life is all that we see, hear, think, smell, etc. It is all. Life has no meaning it is to me a defintaion to all other things.

Life is being or existing in a constant state of mind and body.  The purpose of life varies based upon beliefs.  To some it is to be judged, to others it is to become one with the world, and for others life has no purpose, they exist and do the best they can.

To know the meaning of life, you must know the meaning of death.\n\nUntil you have died, you cannot know the answer.

It is difficult to scientifically explain the meaning of life. All that can be  said and perceived is that Humans have it!\n\nOne thing that is certain, and understood that life without a relationship to the Creator is meaningless.

We are the accidental products of unthinking natural processes, and therefore the meaning and purpose of life can be anything we choose.  For myself, I didn't choose to exist, but now I'm here I want to enjoy life, bring up my kids well, leave the world a slightly better place than when I joined it, and die having no major regrets about what I have or haven't done in my life.

I think the meaning of life is enjoying everyday.  Humans do not have all the answers, and there are some things we wouldn't be able to wrap our minds around if we tried.

life is a discovery...of yourself...your desires...your ambitions....your destiny....\n\nand of everything that can ever be....\n\nlife is a melody, a mystery, an expression, a story, a rhythm, a puzzle, a reflection...life is an awareness of the cosmic soul

Who's to say there is a meaning\n\nMaybe we don't have a plan - we're just creatures who sprouted from organisms.  \n\nPersonally I like to believe in a more spiratual meaning - God is testing us to see if we are worthy to enter heaven, but then again we might just be the play toys of a giant alien race.

To give life.\n\nThe Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:\n\nGod, what is Your purpose of Existence?\n\nFor God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.\n\nI asked God that question...\n\nGod answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."\n\nEverything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.\n\nGod gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.\n\nYou are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.\n\nThis is your purpose.

The term "destiny" often implies predetermined: the word used is "predestination."  But free will is a real thing, and you are indeed responsible for your own choices.  The whole "free will vs. determinism" question has been debated ad nauseum in philosophy.  To me, the concept that there is an all-seeing being who can predict what you will decide does not mitigate your responsibility to decide as wisely as you can, and so the question is moot.

Life is all about choices.  Even when we are presented with horrible conditions, we always have more than one reaction or action possible.\nIf fate puts us where we are, our choices determine the outcome.
