What's the meaning of life ?

Question

I mean come on life is just here we come and go so what's the point of all this?

Answer 1

I believe that we came from a higher power in a higher place, and that life is a test.  It's the greatest test of all; to determine our place in the afterlife.  If we pass we will be given unimaginable blessings.  If we don't do so well i think we'll still be rewarded for having this experience, and if we made a good effort we will also be rewarded greatly.  

Answer 2

The meaning of life is different for everyone. Its up to you to find out what it is!!!!!

Answer 3

there is no "meaning" to life.we are just all here for the experience.the only reason that is always asked is because we are the only species intelligent enough to ask it.

Answer 4

Birth, the in between, and death. It's the in between that matters.

Answer 5

You're right we just come and go, so enjoy life in a way that you will never look back and regret anything. seriously ENJOY it. and there are some questions that have no answer, like where did we come from? or what happens when we die? or whats going on in the space(far were we cant see or reach) ? and whats after that ?

There are theories but you never know which ones right. so top thinking and have fun or do what you like. every second is an opportunity lost, dont lose the next one.

Answer 6

I don't think that life has a meaning, but it does have a purpose: to make more life.  There is a species of shrimp-like creatures in the U.S. southwest desert that only comes to life when it rains and water collects in hollows in the rocks or in the dirt, where a bunch of dried, fertilized eggs from the last spawning have been blown by the wind.  The eggs rehydrate, hatch and mature in a couple of weeks (assuming the pools don't dry out too soon), at which time they spawn again.  The pools dry out shortly after that, and the eggs get blown around to wait for the next rain.  They exist just long enough to make more.  Every species of animal has procreating as one of it's top three basic needs, along with food and shelter.  Humans are no different.  People keep procreating no matter what their circumstance: war, famine, drought, poverty.  You would think that if it's really hard to feed and shelter yourself, you wouldn't have children but humans just don't slow down.

Answer 7

i think we are all here until we live the perfect lives which we choose..we keep coming back and being reincarnated. if you have a tough life, perhaps your past life was too easy so you wanted a challenge. Idk. I came up with that when i was 10. lol

Answer 13

The 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.

These questions are separate from the scientific issue of the boundary between things with life and inanimate objects.

Popular beliefs

"What is the meaning of life?" is a question many people ask themselves at some point during their lives, most in the context "What is the purpose of life?" Here are some of the many potential answers to this perplexing question. The responses are shown to overlap in many ways but may be grouped into the following categories:

Survival and temporal success

...to live every day like it is your last and to do your best at everything that comes before you

...to be always satisfied

...to live, go to school, work, and die

...to participate in natural human evolution, or to contribute to the gene pool of the human race

...to advance technological evolution, or to actively develop the future of intelligent life

...to compete or co-operate with others

...to destroy others who harm you, or to practice nonviolence and nonresistance

...to gain and exercise power

...to leave a legacy, such as a work of art or a book

...to eat

...to prepare for death

...to spend life in the pursuit of happiness, maybe not to obtain it, but to pursue it relentlessly.

...to produce offspring through sexual reproduction (alike to participating in evolution)

...to protect and preserve one's kin, clan, or tribe (akin to participating in evolution)

...to seek freedom, either physically, mentally or financially

...to observe the ultimate fate of humanity to the furthest possible extent

...to seek happiness and flourish, experience pleasure or celebrate

...to survive, including the pursuit of immortality through scientific means

...to attempt to have many sexual conquests (as in Arthur Schopenhauer's will to procreate)

...to find and take over all free space in this "game" called life

...to seek and find beauty

...to kill or be killed

...No point. Since having a point is a condition of living human consciousness. Animals do not need a point to live or exist. It is more of an affliction of consciousness that there are such things as points, a negative side to evolutionary development for lack of better words.

Wisdom and knowledge

...to master and know everything

...to be without questions, or to keep asking questions

...to expand one's perception of the world

...to explore, to expand beyond our frontiers

...to learn from one's own and others' mistakes

...to seek truth, knowledge, understanding, or wisdom

...to understand and be mindful of creation or the cosmos

...to lead the world towards a desired situation

...to satisfy the natural curiosity felt by humans about life

Ethical

...to express compassion

...to follow the "Golden Rule"

...to give and receive love

...to work for justice and freedom

...to live in peace with yourself and each other, and in harmony with our natural environment

...to serve others, or do good deeds

Religious and spiritual

...to find perfect love and a complete expression of one's humanness in a relationship with God

...to achieve a supernatural connection within the natural context

...to achieve enlightenment and inner peace

...to become like God, or divine

...to glorify God

...to experience personal justice (i.e. to be rewarded for goodness)

...to experience existence from an infinite number of perspectives in order to expand the consciousness of all there is (i.e. to seek objectivity)

...to be a filter of creation between heaven and h**l

...to produce useful structure in the universe over and above consumption (see net creativity)

...to reach Heaven in the afterlife

...to seek and acquire virtue, to live a virtuous life

...to turn fear into joy at a constant rate achieving on literal and metaphorical levels: immortality, enlightenment, and atonement

...to understand and follow the "Word of God"

...to discover who you are

...to resolve all problems that one faces, or to ignore them and attempt to fully continue life without them, or to detach oneself from all problems faced

Philosophical

...to give life meaning

...to participate in the chain of events which has led from the creation of the universe until its possible end (either freely chosen or determined, this is a subject widely debated amongst philosophers)

...to know the meaning of life

...to achieve self-actualisation

...all possible meanings have some validity

...life in itself has no meaning, for its purpose is an opportunity to create that meaning, therefore:

...to die

...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)

...nature taking its course (the wheel of time keeps on turning)

...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"

...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever

...life may actually not exist, or may be illusory )

...to contemplate "the meaning of the end of life"

Other

...to participate in the inevitable increase in entropy of the universe

...to make conformists' lives miserable

...to make life as difficult as possible for others (i.e. to compete)-

Answer 14

I can't tell you your meaning of life. Everyone has a purpose that will show one day.

Everyone has a life goal, and wether it's winning a medal for swimming in the olympics or getting a job at Market Basket that is your meaning.  

Answer 15

As said above, it's 42. So, your question is wrong. They nearly had the answer to the question but that dang vogon ship just had to ruin everything didn't it? The mice, I'm sure will figure it out in time without the need to dissect Arthur's brain.

Or was it simply; We apologise for the inconvenience.
