  1. The meaning of life is to believe what you want, do what you want, and have free will. No one can make those decisions for you, that is the meaning of life.


  2. every human had his own meaning of life.

    the thing which can be bad for me ,can be good for you.

    there is no universal meaning of life every human had his own meaning

    peace

  3. life is a journey and to know the meaning first we have to live it.

  4. is getting off your computer and experiencing life... pick something and do it... go learn something... quit wandering in circles and look for simplicity...

  5. 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.

    ...to master and know everything

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

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

    Religious and spiritual

    ...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)

    ...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"

    ...to find a purpose, a "reason" for living that hopefully raises the quality of one's experience of life, or even life in general

    ...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)-

  9. I initially read this as one might expect - "What is the meaning of life?"  But on closer inspection, I realize that's not what's written there at all. Did you mean to type what you typed, or was that a little interference from the Grammar Gremlin?

    In any event, "What is the meaning of life?" (if that was your question) is a very old question. It's such a common question, that in order to have any really good discussion about it, you need to do more than simply ask it. Ask it, and then give a few of your own thoughts - that would give a respondant something to base an answer around instead of simply repeating any one of the countless scripted replies humans have developed to the question over the years.

    But to answer it, I'll say what I always say: The meaning of life is whatever we choose for it to be. Nobody else can define it for us, we each have to reach that conclusion entirely on our own. And some of us never find a satisfactory answer.

    If however you really did mean to ask, "What is meaning the life?" I'm going to have to guess at what is meaning your question. ;-) It would be asking, "What is meaning, 'the life'?" in which case, I'd have to say "the life" generally refers to some arbitrary standard of living believed by an individual to be superior or ideal.
