What is the meaning of life?

Meaning of life is one of those most important questions that arise in our minds every once in a while and yet we never seem to find any 'right' answers.... this indicates that probably there is no fixed or definite meaning of life that applies to all universally at all times.... the meaning is perhaps as dynamic as life itself. I therefore believe that instead of trying to find a unified and universal meaning of life, we just need to apply our mind to what ever seems the most important to us as of now (not momentarily, but rather on a reasonably continued basis)..... we need to be genuine in our quest and as objective as possible..... since the current meaning arises from the current situation and circumstances of life, this meaning would keep changing as we proceed in our life whereby it would be dynamically changing course as is its wont. In other words, meaning of life lies in going along the current that the life itself follows rather than trying to find a cross or a jump ahead. We also need to realize and accept that there is nothing absolute nor ultimate in our world..... everything is relative and transient. The reason I live, all said and done, lies simply in the fact that I have hope for lots of happy occasions to come in future and those happy occasions would consist only to a limited extent of achievements and success and would mostly be arising from simple, small pleasures and satisfaction generated from routines and relationships. I think life is too dynamic and transient to be given any more steadfast and significant importance than just flowing with it with as much consonance as possible.

A non-question. Life has three hundred meanings and the meaning of each of those meanings has layers: definition, purpose, causation.

You are asking nothing and you will ignore the answers you get. Ten times a day this gets asked and no one is ever the better for it.

The meaning of life is to find meaning.

The Meaning of live is whatever you make it. It is all up to you. You can believe what religion you want or not. The forces that created us are the forces that will take our live in the end.

While on this earth, do what you want to do. Be a positive force and you'll be happy. Negativity has never brought happiness. Don't worry what others say, good or bad, everything needs to be your choice. Cheers!

The meaning of life in human being that'll be different from other animals such as livestock, wild beasts or any primitive creatures, is the behaviour which being full of social activities, friendship, love, care, compassion and co-operation.
Yip

Life is what it is, a series of moments a collection of experiences and to me the meaning of life is to live the good and bad and be present for the experience.

In general, meaning of life is an impact of living or existence. For human being living life depends on time to time and their needs.

"Life is a characteristic distinguishing physical entities having biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Various forms of life exist such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. The criteria can at times be ambiguous and may or may not define viruses, viroids or potential artificial life as living. Biology is the primary science concerned with the study of life, although many other sciences are involved."

Much as I hate cut and paste I'm resorting to a stock answer, so read no further if you've seen this before, it's exactly the same as last time:

What is the meaning of life, the Universe, and everything, and all variations thereon?

It's generally the first question to be asked (incessantly) by adolescents who have arisen from all fours and discovered the novelty of pressing a virtual button in order to attract the attention of any passing random stranger.

I'm pleased to inform you that you have loads of choice as this is asked and answered on a regular basis and that a simple search will reveal enough data and links to provide you with several lifetimes of  research material to base your own conclusion on.

So far there are about as many different answers as answerers. Perhaps we can add one more when you reach your final informed conclusion. Personally I'm still attempting to emulate the results obtained by "Deep Thought", although it may take me some time.

Enjoy your quest. Ahead is a long and interesting journey. Who knows, somewhere down the path you may even discover what life is really all about. Good luck, and Oh, walk, don't run! Life is there for you to enjoy!
