Answer 1

You are asking a question that has been worded many different ways (books have been written about this, religions address this) and the question has had many answers. It is usually posed as, "What is the meaning of life?"  But the way you worded the question is just as sincere.

Do a search on the home page of Yahoo Answers for, "What is the meaning of life?" and you will see what I mean.

When a person does research (and that is what you are doing) when you dig out all the various sources that address your question, you usually find a common thread. And that thread is the fundamental truth.  

When you search this question on Yahoo Answers, you will eventually find a common thread.

But let me save you the time. The most common answer is:

"There is no meaning of life" or to answer it the way you pose it, "Nothing. Life is about nothing."

To apply this to you and your life, look at it this way. If there is no meaning to life and life is about nothing, then what action should I take?  The answer is, "Make yourself happy."  

If you go into religion and philosophy they will add moral things like, do right by others, don't be evil, don't hurt others, don't steal, remember Karma, etc.  

But it all boils down to live life the best way you can, enjoy all you can and make yourself as happy as you can. That's it.

That's what life is all about.

Listen to Bill, he is right...and also, life is to be survived...until our reward later in the afterlife...

Answer 3

maybe you should decide that one for yourself, what does your life mean to you? , is really an individual question I think.

Here is what mine means,,,,,,,

I think I was put here to help others, thats MY lifes mission, and it is always a work in progress. ;-)

Good luck to ya kiddo

Answer 4

Maybe this is neutral enough:  Life is about becoming, becoming the best person you can be, learning, and forming relationships that are rewarding and enable us to help others.

I do not believe that this life is all there is--if so, life would be ridiculous, and life doesn't seem ridiculous.

Answer 5

Everything you touch, see, feel, smell... everything that surrounds you from the smallest rock to the largest building... thats life.  Life is everything and nothing at once, so it can only be as good as you make it.  Believe in what you can and toss the rest.  Good luck.
