Answer 5

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.

I've come to two conclusions within the past years and a half:

1. Life has no meaning

2. Life has a million meanings.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.

To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is

inevitable.....

Answer 9

I think the meaning of life is different for everyone.  

Answer 10

To love and be loved, to question, to seek, to strive, to struggle (sometimes in vain), to hold and to let go (in the end of everything, even life itself).  You see, life is not something that can be contained, delimited, categorized, or even fully explained, and its meaning ultimately resides not in some tidy philosophical formulation but rather in the heart-rending experience of living itself. The best things are unspoken, the second best misunderstood.  Life spills over the rim of every cup...You will achieve no understanding of this in school, or by taking a poll.
