No that's not a typo. There is no central meaning of life, but there are ways we can give our lives meaning. How do you?

  5. Good deeds can not replace the true meaning of life, it is just a part of it and you should care about knowing what the true meaning of life is while you still have a chance.

    The meaning of life is to praise and worship the one who created us(GOD), so that through him we might live a peaceful and joyful life as he intended for us since the beginning. God created us and only he knows what will make us happy for eternity. We live for our own sakes and believe that what we choose to do is what is meant for us.(How can it be when we can't even control our breath of life; we might sleep tonite and never wake up the next day)

    Even on earth we live by certain laws, commit a murder and go to Jail..Life is the same way.. our creator has set fourth 10 commandments for us to follow. Those are his laws and whoever transgress the law shall be punished for eternity. A judge never sends a murderer to jail..the murder sends himself to jail by transgressing the law. Have you ever had a nightmare? Although your body was immobile, you could still feel the pain, fear and agony. I am sure you were glad to wake up from that nightmare.(that's because you still had ur functionning body for your spirit to come back to. Imagine the same scenario, however there's no body to come back too, you heart beat stopped, you are trapped with no way out..What will you do?? it will be too late ..(you are spirit and you will be forever whether you accept it or not) So try to live not for yourself or your good deeds but the father above "for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for God sake will save it" Luke 9:24.

  6. Serve God.  It works no matter how you rearrange the words.

  7. The life of meaning could be a life spent finding your own purpose in life...hopefully soon so that you could enjoy it and live that purpose to its fullest potential. Also, bringing meaning and purpose into the lives of others.

    Good question and nice avatar!

  8. The happiness of pursuit?  24?

  9. Well Rob- I too eat lots of sandwiches in order to give my life meaning, but not just standard sandwiches like PB and J or Turkey Clubs- Elaborate sandwiches with Falafel and Bamboo shoots between Pita instead of Wonder Bread.

    I give my life meaning via my appetite. Always.

  10. 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

    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"

  15. My life has meaning by bringing my daughter up to be the best that she can. She is the life of my meaning and the meaning of my life. That is MY personal life of meaning and meaning of life. She gives me so much that she isn't aware of and probably won't be aware of until the day she has children herself.

    Being a mother makes me complete, real and happy. Happiness and the pursuit of and the giving of, is the life and is the meaning and is the end. Without it, what is the point.  

  16. To be born Live and then die. Tragic but it just might be true
