The Meaning of Life

The Holy Grail of Philosophy: The Meaning of Life.
Here's what gives people meaning, motivation and hope.

Read, Ponder, Understand!

  • Happiness, do whatever you want that makes you happy. It could be just the simple little things or extreme things. Also, don't miss out on opportunities because you never know what could have happened. Experience new things and sometimes just go with the flow and eventually you'll get somewhere.

    Christine < hehehe@hotmail.com >

  • Learn to appreciate those around you and to excel at what ever you enjoy. Go to your death bed with the knowledge that you did the best you could (that will not be easy) do not create regrets. And what ever makes you happy to be alive so long as it doesn't make anyone else unhappy in the process.

  • I believe deeply in my heart that the meaning of life is to become alive to the wonder of the world

    Wanda < none@notgive.com >

  • I believe that the meaning of life is to cultivate the lives of those around us to richness...like the time I raised a dog from puppihood to adulthood..man, that was one berserk pup.

    Harsh Kumar < none@notgive.com >

  • We are God's experiment... his science project.

    Cor < none@notgive.com >

  • to many, life is series of events that lead to the greatest event of all, however true that may be, life is way more than that. Life is not measured by time but rather, it is measured by smiles. By tears. By moments that allow you to see a glimpse of perfection. Life is beauty. It is the purpose of our existence. The reason you were put on here to change the world, even if its just a minute amount. The truth, however, is that very few ever figure out the meaning of life, the exact definition to our existence, and when we finally do, our time is up. That is life.

  • to EXPERIENCE on every level

    kevin < kevin@that.co.nz >

  • Unconditional love and being so focused on that love that, if only for a short time, you become enlightened

    T < none@notgive.com >

  • The meaning of life is clearly to figure out the answer to the question 'what is the meaning of life'.

    The Instigetr < none@notgive.com >

  • To surround yourself with people you love- friends and family, and to do everything you can to enjoy the time that you have. Don't pass up opportunities to have fun and learn more about yourself, don't allow other people to tell you how to live, and don't waste time being lazy, bored, or unhappy.

    < none@notgive.com >

  • probably to live and try not to die

    Jay < GrnEyesJAC >

  • I don't know if it's already on there but... The meaning of life is to give life meaning.

    Ellen < none@notgive.com >

  • You're supposing there is a meaning. What if there is no meaning? What's if it's a big question, simply because there is no answer? In that case, doesn't it imply that there is no real purpose, and that, really, you can do what you wish? You owe no nothing, you are owed nothing. Do as you will. It is your life, and your's alone, and besides; a lot of people tend to believe that they are very important. I tend to believe that you really aren't, especially compared to everyone else.

    Jared < none@notgive.com >

  • Life has no point. Isn't it obvious? Physically, we will die, Planets will die, Stars will die. Devoured by chaos, then reborn. Emotionally, we create shallow attachments that fill us with momentary joy but eventually always gives us more pain the the momentary joys. And still more pain from everything else.. oh, sure, ther is one point. To learn and grow. Somehow, the experiances seem to enrich the divine, but I'd rather live in void to be perfecly honest. Which, I'm sure, would also, somehow, enrich the divine.

    Elliandr < Gwaeraurond@yahoo.com >

  • STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND LIVE!

    gary lynn < none@notgive.com >

  • There is no such thing as one philosophy that encompasses the enigmatic meaning that is life. There will never be one person who discovers the meaning of life. This is because Human life is within the vast spectrum of life itself. We are part of the whole, therefore we can only understand the purpose or meaning of our own piece to the puzzle, that is ourselves. Every life is unique, no two lives are the exact same, therefore each life serves a different purpose, and if every life has a different purpose then every life has a different meaning. Only you can understand the meaning of your life. However, you will only understand your life near the end of your existence, because it is then that you will have expereinced all of your life. . . . . .I would elaborate more, but this is enough meaning for a blog website.

  • I don't know what the meaning of life is... but so far it sure beats the alternative.

  • I believe that life has no real purpose or destiny and that it is up to us how we live our life what we do with it and how far we go! :)

    sam < none@notgive.com >

  • I believe that we are here to test our souls. Some are tested with temptations. The rest are tested for patience. Believe in God. Believe in your Guardian Angels. Believe in your soul.

    Andre < none@notgive.com >

  • Life is simple: Stand up for yourself, don't let people treat you like you don't want to be treated. Sin everyone once in a while so you can teach not to sin. Take it easy; people don't like an uptight individual, not in work or life. Don't get married until you are absolutely ready!!!

    Jason Long < jay_long54@yahoo.com >

  • There is no inherent meaning of life from our perspective. That is not to say that life has no inherent value or meaning from our Creator's perspective, however. We cannot know what that might be while in this incarnation. Life is Hard. The Pain and Difficulty provides for Growth, which is the Purpose of our present incarnation.

    Bryan James Lovejoy < bjlovejoy@yahoo.com >

    Norris < none@notgive.com >

  • To leave life better than you found it. to be loved by those left behind. to remember those gone before you. to love and cherish those around you. to make every peson you come in contact with to feel valuable and appreciated. To love God with all your heart, soul and body!

    dcrall < none@notgive.com >

  • I'm only 15 but I think the meaning of life is to fulfill all your desiers, wether it be to find a soulmate or eternal partner, to become what you've always wanted or even to change the world. The only way life should be lived is with apreciation, even if you don't have everything you want you need to be glad for what you have as some people won't even have that. I don't know wether I have been put here for any reason but i know that i will take every oppertunity I have to live it to the best i can, making the most of every chance I can clasp my hands on and never forgetting the people who mean the most to me but then never forgetting the others around me even though they may not even know my name.

    Andrea < cocoa_number1@hotmail.com >

  • There is no one answer to this age old question. The meaning of my life is whatever i choose to make it we control our own destiny the purpose of my life is not the same as anyone elses you get what you put into it. The easiest way to enjoy life is to sit back and let it come at you dont worry about shit stay relaxed and have fun doing it.

    Javan < none@notgive.com >

  • Perhaps we'll never answer this question. Many religious people like to say the meaning of life is God, which is all well and good. However, they can't fully explain God, which leaves them back where they started. And then there are those who say that life has no meaning, which is a meaning in and of itself. And so to say that life has no meaning becomes quite the paradoxical statement. There are also those who see pleasures or accomplishments as the meaning of life, but as the band Kansas once sang, 'All they are is dust in the wind.' They are present for ahile, and then they pass away. We may never be able to answer the big question. But did anyone ever think that this inability to answer this question is the whole beauty of it all. There is this stange beauty in the unknown. After all, 'wisest is he who knows that he does notknow.'

  • To fight for what you believe to be worth fighting for. To find the one you love and never let go of them.

  • Either 42 or twinkies. Hard to tell.

    Racheal < none@notgive.com >

  • i am entirely un sure. but i know when i step away from this extremely depressed life i live where there is only a dream that one day i might return to dust (if i am lucky) i find something incredibly funny about life itself and all of its meaningless confusion. i cannot usually laugh about anything in life becuase i just want to escape from it and i wish i was never born and i am only 18. but when i step back from this nightmare there is something so unbeliveably amusing and hilarious about life that i cannot not explain. my guess is that i really have gone insane, most likely from thinking about things like the meaning of life. i know i shouldnt and believe me i dont want to!! my brain does it for me! the subtle things in life are the meaningful things. i wish my brain would actually understand that.

    kevin H < none@notgive.com >

  • There is no meaning to life think about it. You go to school have fun have jobs have kids then die and I know your makeing another little human come into the world but there just going to feel the same pain when they die.

  • To love GOD with all my Heart, Soul, Mind and all my Strength, and to have the blessing of unconditionally LOVING my soulmate *Joshua*, who I CHERISH and ADORE with my ALL, everymoment of my life.

    Shari < none@notgive.com >

  • I feel that the greatest thing about life is that it has no meaning. Life has no need for meaning; it simply is, just as we are. To ascribe purpose is to limit life, to turn a person into an arrow whose goal is to reach the bullseye that is a perfect, meaningful life. Such a conception has little room for individuality, and I have little room for such an idea.

    Ross < none@notgive.com >

  • I think the meaning of life can be summed up by what was written by a man named Berke Breathed in a comic called Bloom County. It starts out with three friends walking down a road and talking about the meaning of life. It goes like this. Milo: I dunno… Whaddya think life is, Oliver? Oliver: Life is the futile passion for the pursuit of rationality. Opus: I think we’re going existential here… Milo: Life can only be understood backwards; But it must be lived forwards. Oliver: …A progress from want to want… not from enjoyment to enjoyment. Opus: oof… Milo: Typical agnostic pessimism. Oliver: On the contrary… Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced. Milo: But could existence precede essence when the individual confronts the paradox of eterni- Opus: How ‘bout this: you’re born. You live. You go on some diets. You die. Milo: That’s it!! Oliver: LITERALIST! Opus: Thank goodness there’s a few of us left. I think that if you go and sift through what they say and ignore opus’s words there are some pretty cool things you can find in this.

  • to obtain the greatest possible understanding of the world around you and your fellow man

    God < none@notgive.com >

  • The meaning of life....Hmmmmm. Well, you were put on this earth by god, and you were ment to love everyone, try your hardest not to screw up, and if you do, ask god to forgive you. When he died on the cross, he thought about YOU thats right. Oh, your thinking 'whatever, there are to many people, you couldnt have thought about me'. Well, YES he did. He died for you, and he gave you this life on eath so you could live to serve him. And if you live it right, you WILL be reworded in the end. And if you red this and go, 'whatever, there is no god' All I can say is Im not the one going to hell, now am I?

    Sara < none@notgive.com >

  • Ponder all that you do, have done, and will do. To know that you are always loved by God and its never to late or that all shall pass.

    Shannon < osan_ying@yahoo.com >

  • The meaning of the life is different for each person... so no definite answer can be given.

    Matt < none@notgive.com >

  • The meaning of life is to love and be loved, to be decent and charitable, even to those you don't know, for respect is at least initially warranted by all.

    Scorpius < none@notgive.com >

  • if god could have shown his love for us without making the world he would have. you have your own choice to make about him. i believe he put us on this earth to serve him, love him, praise him and bring the lost to him

  • to leave the world engraved with your image

    The Pheonix < none@notgive.com >

  • To love and be loved. To be yourself. To break the mold. To be original.

    Matt Orme < MorgenAsche@gmail.com >

  • it is funny how the most perfect things pass by so quickly. Life is full of things to do and be, but do you take the chance that there might have to be a upset in the end is the question. Life is all about the chances you make and take dont take them and you might miss that chance what ever it is forever.

    Bradley Wilson < mrwilplay@aol.com >

  • The meaning of life is simply to live. You survive and although at times it may cause internal as well as external feelings of pain and suffering we live. Our purpose seems to be just that. No matter what we do or how we live in the end we will just die. We will fade and be forgotten no matter how great we were while alive. The purpose of life is not how you live but instead about how you die. Will you end your walk by your own hands, or perhaps let your life play out as it was intended. It's a choice that leads us to discover what the meaning of life really is.

    Fizzy < Theeash111@aol.com >

  • To find out what your own purpose is and make the best with what you have.

  • the Mission of Life: expressing your true nature, aligning it with the environment, nature and the flow of the universe for the purpose of keeping the world alive and keeping the balance of the flow of nature(yin/yang) for its stability is aliveness and its instability is nothingness.

    karthik < none@notgive.com >

  • There's no right or wrong answer to this question. What we consider good or bad is our own view of this world. The ideas in our head the words written in books and the concept of faith are all things we have thought up ourselves and passed on to our children and surrounding people. Who knows what is true or false or what the meaning of life is?

    City_Larkii < none@notgive.com >

  • your choice, it's all in your head any way. We all have different beliefs or variations of beliefs about one thing or another, and we all believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that those things are true or real, so therefor we create our own answers to all the fundamental questions of life, we are master and commander of our own reality.

    james manning < maddog3000@gmail.com >

  • Life is what God gave, what He is giving, and what He will give so we can fulfill the purpose He created us for.

    Elle < ellefranc@yahoo.fr >

  • Procreation. Just like every other species

    Colvin < none@notgive.com >

  • The answer to existence. Life and death, like black and white, are the only two corresponding realities. Black, absense, and white, presence. Existing, and not existing. Life will always be an ongoing thing. Time, is existence. Long after our species is dead, we will be nothing more than a memory, and possibly to no one. We grow, we eat, we grow again, proving that existence is nothing more than a sunflower reaching for the sun. We were put here to create as much as we can and for god to see something new. To build, to exist, for something, anything, just something. How could we go wrong? But if you want to ask Curly, its that 'one thing.'

    Aaron B Hubbard < aaronbhubbard@hotmail.com >

  • To do unto others as you would have others do unto you,expect nothing and receive graciously.

  • To love and be loved.

    j.b < none@notgive.com >

  • The flaw is with the question. There is no meaning of life. Humans exist they way they do because organics that replicate and try to survive do survive. Hence, people. There is no 'meaning' to it. It just is. We exist because we're the best at existing, that's all.

    Muad'Dib < none@notgive.com >

  • To never have to ask yourself that question. The instant you do you've missed the point as the very meaning of life is not to question it but to live it.

    SASV < elian@bigpond.net.au >

  • To create something that will remain after your gone.

    visualeyez < none@notgive.com >

  • To learn that you cant live your life around one specific object but you need to have a vast array of things to live for. I have learned the hard way not to live life for one sole purpose and I hope people don't do the same.

    A Lonely Ghost < none@notgive.com >

  • To serve other people and love them- not sexually love everyone because that would be a little slutty- support and encourage even strangers. You never know who needs a smile that otherwise wouldn't get one from anyone if it weren't for you. The meaning of life wouldn't be sex or violence or living for ones self, but the impact you had on someone else for the good. Kindness.

    Elly < none@notgive.com >

  • to take pleasure in ones work to find joy in the everyday and to ultimately serve Jesus Christ

  • The meaning of life I don't think is living for satan or god. I lived for both of them and each time I've been left empty. I feel the meaning is to live for the moment. -One very sad confused person

  • believing that God allows you all the freedom that YOU can handle at a particular time. But always get permission first - cause paybacks a bitch. Love, Live, Forgive, and never stop learning. And listen to your heart -


  • I think that the reason to life is what you make it. But if you're looking for something more I think it is to find someone who enjoys what you do. Its to find out that you can be whatever you want if you put your mind to it. Really the meaning of life is a mixture of every cliché ever made. If you don't agree then that's your opinion but to me this is the meaning of life.


  • The meaning of life within the depth, fantasy, and passion of every humans' mind is completely and totally accurate. Live within yourself. One of the biggest obstacles we must overcome is allowing others to dictate and force upon us what we should or should not love. Instead, we must focus forward and deep within our souls to extract our own true loves. Because in the end, the only thoughts that matter our are true loves. And these people, objects, emotions, places, and experiences give us the ink to compose our own script of life's meaning.


  • To learn that you can change whatever image you have created for yourself whether it be for good or bad


  • We all sit here trying to figure out the meaning of life, when all along the meaning of life is something that may never be reasoned to. The meaning of life will always bewilder us, and along its path we learn and see many things. That's it plan all along...to learn, live and see life...


  • I am convinced the meaning of it all is to figure it out. When you do, you wake up and it was some kind of gameshow all along


  • Life has no meaning or purpose, as learned from hamlet," the day you are born is the day you start to die." So so why not concentrate on your life now and the people in it and how you are living it, instead of freaking out about not knowing, if we were supposed to know the meaning of life then we would, but we don't. So lighten up!

  • If You Haven't Loved, You Haven't Lived By: Desiree Del Bosque In the last days of this New Mind, All my Memory's of you will Fade, Thoughts, Mixed emotions, Hatred, Love & Denial will cease to Exist And all around me will Crumble. For without Love what is Living for? If you haven't Loved than you Haven't Lived. And if you haven't Lived then you Haven't Breathed the One Thing Worth living for. And that is obviously Love. Love is the Seed to All Life. And A Seed of Life needs and Seeks Something to Help it Grow. Loving makes it Blossom Into Something so Fatal It would Die without the Exact Thing that made it Bloom... And that is Love. So Love, Live, Try, Take Chances And Breath something Worth Living for... LIFE.


  • As Often By: Desiree Del Bosque As often as I should've Said it I never Spoke. As often as I should've Expressed it I never Showed. As often as I should've Felt it I never Loved. As often as I should've Accepted it I never Lived. As often as I Think of it, As often as I Dream of it, The more it eats me up inside. Tearing my soul. Trapping my Mind. Feeding me something never to be mine. Live for the moment...cause It may never pass your way again. We only live one life...make it memorable.


  • There Is No Meaning, A Meaning Is Somewhat Of An Explanation..Why Do People Feel The Need To Have Their Life Explained? Life Is What You Make It, No-One Has The Wrong Or Right Answer To The Meaning Of Life, For We All Live How We Want To, And We All Create Our Own Meanings.

  • To find something beautiful


  • Living for Jesus Christ.


  • You cannot give a meaning to something as vast as life. It is as pointless as trying to put a border on heaven. Life was never created to be defined. It was created to be lived.


  • To find your path, and live the life that God has put for you. That path is quite wide, so don't be discouraged, there are many ways you can walk it.


  • When you're on your death bed, days or minutes away from dying, are you going to look back and say "I wish I had worked harder or had more money or slept with more women(or men) or had more stuff"? No, you're going to think of the memories you have created with the ones you love, not to sound cliche or anything. But cliches are cliches for a reason, because they are the most true sayings and beliefs and perspectives in which to look at life. Love people, and be happy. Love God and do what he wants you to do. That's it.


  • I said I would divulge the The Meaning Of Life when I discovered it. I really believe the following paragraph to be it. ......The Human Being was brought to life by the Creator for us to enjoy the universe as HE does and to have the fun of discovering how everything works. ...I'm sorry but I don't know who the author is.


  • there is none until u try to give it one. so why bother giving yourself all this extra work of trying to find out its meaning when u could be just sitting back and just enjoying the mere fact that u have it to live as u see fit.

  • death isnt the meaning. the only reason we die is because we accept it as an enevitibility. The One


  • just to live life as it comes and have a good time while your here, you may as well. after all your the one in control


  • This is one of those rhetorical questions, like what is infinity?, or what happens to people after they die? that even if we were able to agree on a single answer, it would be an abstract idea that we can only imagine being able to understand. More importantly, when does life start having meaning? Maybe the meaning of human life is to be a part of the infinitely complex system of the universe.


  • TO HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!


  • The meaning of life is to take your time figuring it out.


  • the meaning of life isnt to see things they way u want to see them but to see things the way others see them that way u know what it is..

Make the world a better place,bcuz who knows where we actually go after a life we are givin.It could all be a dream where you are just watching everyone below and wake up and its as if everyone and everything you had is gone.

  • life as we know it ,is our children and our childrens ,children. if we live life this long than we have a cherished life by Brenda lee


  • An old man in a laundromat in Paris once told me, "The meaning of life is babies crying in the middle of the night."


  • The meaning of life is to be tested. God wants to see who is good enough to be with him. If they arn't good enough then they dont get to hang out with him after life....they get to hang out with the bad guy


  • Why should life have any 'meaning'? Would you ask what the 'meaning' of a kettle was? No! That would be ridiculous. Life has a purpose; to perpetuate itself by procreation, but it has no 'meaning' as such.


  • The meaning of life is... oh wait who the hell cares, you'll find out when you die so hurry up already


  • Lots of money, a big house with a white picket fence, and a wife with big boobies!!


  • the meaning of life is to live your life to the fullest...and i think that life could be like a big dream or who knows we could be living in heaven or even hell, you will never know until you get to the other side...so go get drunk and party

  • To live and learn...to teach one another...to become well rounded physically and emotionally...to find that state of mind where you feel you know who and what you are.


  • 42. Surely everyone knows that?!


  • to love...


  • One love, one heart, let's get together and feel all right. -Bob Marley (1977)


  • In my eyes, the meaning of life is several things. To bond with others, to make friends and love the one that makes us whole and to enjoy the company of our family while they're here. Life was not intended to be spent going through alone and it never should be. It should be something that you can look back on when age starts to wear upon you and be happy with what you've accomplished through our short times here. To know that you've made the ones you care about happy time and time again. That's what life means to me. - Kevin Kolcheck


  • to find balance . purpose is compensation for how far we've come from the pure monkeys we once were


  • if i could have money and food then im happy and thats my meaning of life


  • Maybe the meaning of life is different to every one. Maby we are born just to die but what if deth is not the end at all... but just the begining of a dreem... or...a nightmare... But I do know that sooner or later, some of us are going to discover what purpus of are life is, you could call this day "D.Day"... and I know, us,the chosen ones will not be very happy when it somes to that.


  • In my own words, the meaning of life is... A test of decisions, what ones to make and what ones not to make. If you look at it this way then everything is based on decisions. For instince, say i have a major exam coming up, will i study a week ahead or wait until the last two or three days? You never know until you make that decision, but once you do something you can not take it back!!! So be careful what you do!


  • The question isn't "what is the meaning of life?", it's "what meaning have YOU given to your life?"


  • There is none but we still need to have a system of morals and values. Experience is the key to having a meaningful life so don't destroy your life by being an idiot. Do what you feel is right and "follow your bliss"


  • You really want the meaning of life? Then follow my instructions, go to a local book store, avoid the science books, and head towards religious, and find a Bible. There, you can find the Word of God. His writings will teach you. Nobody deserves to die and burn in Hell for eternity, He did die on the cross for your sins, the least you could do is Believe He did. The whole story is in that one book entitled "The Bible".


  • did one of them guys take my pants or sumin? are you hinitng to me that life should be the anti menaing of them?! i understand fully....SHAVE THE CHILDREN


  • I think and truly believe that the meaning of life comes from deep within each and every persons soul. I believe that the definition alone will differ from person to person depending on the quality of life that the individuals have lived...For me the meaning of life is, life itself, it may very well be an unwritten definition that is only realized when you die, maybe that brief second before you die it comes; how you lived it, what your values were...The meaning of life could begin with the basic desires, to anything so complicated its too hard to understand...I believe that the meaning of life comes from the peace each person finds in his mind from how he or she lives their life...For me, it comes from a bond between two people, over time, it includes trust , love, it includes survival, good and bad, pain and suffering, every intense emotion, that brings us to realize the good and bad about life itself...The things that make us grateful we are alive, grateful for what we have...Watching life other people experience, feeling their pain, the joy of any given situation...I believe the meaning of life, is the air we breathe each and every day we live....The meaning of life is derived from the privilege we achieve from being compassionate and caring individuals, unselfish in our desires...The meaning of life can be so many things, like a bowl of rice, to a starving child in Africa....(Life is a bowl of rice and what it means)....To the peace of mind a 95 year old man finds in a rocking chair passing the day on his front porch...It can be anything and everything to anyone at any given time....The meaning of life to each person comes from who and what they are....in any situation, whenever and wherever they may be...... Robert Debari


  • Life is like the urine of a buttrerfly,it last so little,dont't try to figure out anything,just live,love and learn as much as you can.You would be a better person after death.


  • Life is the trail... there are 2 paths: good and bad. Bad leads to hell, and good leads to heaven. You choose.


  • forget regret, or life is yours to miss


  • to procreate and act as thousands of parasites living off smaller species, even babies are parasites.the earth is just a great big host... Lona


  • When I cam to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come to you proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in much fear and trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom, but on the power of God. 1Corinthians 2:1-5

  • 42


  • To love the Lord with all my (our) heart, mind, and soul, and doing this requires obedience of God and his commandments faithfully. - It's not the good we do, it's the why we do it -


  • What does life mean? It means that over billions of years life has evolved from the simpliest bacterium to present day human beings. We are alive because of evolution and over time our speceies has evolved into a living thing that can think for itself....there is no meaning to life...we are alive.


  • Life has the meaning that you give it. If you want to live your life to make money and buy nice things, do it. If you want a nice family life, do that. Just remember that every experience you have is priceless, and when it's over, you're not going to have another chance. Don't ever second guess yourself, and let no one dictate your life for you. You live to make yourself happy, and in that end that's the only thing that's going to matter. As long as you can look back on your years and be content that you did everything you could to make your life as near to what you dreamed for, then your life has meaning.


  • to be a good person


  • To live up to your TRUE standards..


  • i'd say, whatever you want it to be


  • The meaning of life is different for everyone who lives. The key is to find it for yourself.


  • Don't regret what might have been, regret that you didn't do it sooner.


  • what is it about your life that would make you feel it has a meaning? People that have cancer and know they have one year to live, usually know what they want to do. For some it is visiting Paris. For others is spending a lot of time with their grand kids. If this was the last day of your life - what would you do? What would you like to do right now? Go out and do it.


  • The meaning of life.. is to weave a cobweb of questions.. When the cobweb is big enough we can catch answers with it. More questions and less answers shall keep us going..


  • We are God's Seamonkeys. At times he swishes his fingers at us, but mostly he wants us to figure out our insignificance for ourselves. It's all about outsmarting your fellow Seamonkey.


  • The meaning of life is to live to your fullest the best that you can. To b able to perform that old dance of love, and create to make yourself live on after death.


  • TO FIND YOUR SOULMATE. AND TO DANCE !@!


  • TO LOVE A MAN NAMED JOSIAH!


  • Life is song so dance ..


  • life is not only about enjoying & earning money. it is not about having parties or about discussing whom we like or who likes us. it is neither about what career we are going to chose in life nor about how successful one is & how much money does he have. life is only about how we make others feel about us or how we impress them with r words. we should therefore be very careful & should think twice before saying a singe word so that it does not hurt anybody. life is like an icecream , enjoy it before it melts. pankhuri


  • The meaning of life is to live it to it's fullest. Just not to do something stupid it might kill you.


  • The meaning of life, well to be loved and to love. To find what makes you YOU. That You person can only be you. I mean honestly if she/he was you then wouldn't confuseing ??


  • To fullful everything you plan to do in life, even the crazy things like peeing on a cop's car, before you die...


  • Not to piss into the wind. I'll get wet.


  • P.S. To whomever said that life is not what you make it, but a combination of destiny and reality made a contradictary statement. Destiny and reality co-inside with eachother but if you believe in destiny, then you believe in Free Will. Free Will is the ability to chose the path you take in life. And truthfully, I believe that both fate and destiny are one in the same. If you are religious then think of it this way :Think of your favorite movie, and remember a scene. Ok, you know that scene will happen, and yet it hasn't happened yet. God knows it will happen, even though that IS what will happen, but you have to understand, that it is still determined on what you chose. So life is exactly and only what you make it.


  • I believe that life is exactly and ONLY what you make it. It is you living out personal fulfilment. It is know that time surpasses all things and that no one person has ever beaten "time", but what some british/english poets (1600's to 1700's) have expressed is basically to "Live life to the fullest" and "Live each day as if it were your last". Start life today and live it out to the fullest because you won't be here forever. It is truthfully open to interpretation and the message is a personal one that we may never know, and maybe that is how it is meant to be.


  • To love God and love your neighbor. Any neighbor.


  • Does LIFE have a meaning .... or a definition ? Is there any language that can describe the process of millions of years of 'lives'. Life is just a feeling ..... that is accumulated and passed on through time and space ...... and Souls .......... -Sudarshan


  • Some say that life is like a firework, a brief burst of bright color in the midnight sky, dazzling for but a second, until the next one comes and covers its trail. -- bjaffe


  • Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long.


  • I think life is just a test, and where we go after it (if we go anywhere) is determined on how well we did in our challenges. We may be rewarded or we may pay a penalty. I'm not basing this on religion- it's just a thought.


  • There is no being of life. Just sit around and do what you want. -Goodman


  • Ooooh, candy...


  • The meaning of life lies within the consciusness that the life is great and timeless, that it can be so pure, divine, relaxed but also tough, hard and inexorable. That there is not only fiction but that our minds also truly help us live in this world, knowing from science that there is life also elsewhere. Life is not what we make of it, it is a combination of destiny and reality. So there will always be the one eternaly unsolved question; to be a egoist and to live like you want and fail at one moment or to take a desperate ride in life, to be fair and honest and to live humble, or to be corrupted and live in wealth. but if you want to be both, sorry, but i dont have time to read books all my life. its way to short! so have as you will. that is life.


  • life is nothing more than a trip so enjoy the ride if you can


  • Life is how far you can reach out of the prison that is your mind.Life is to love. Though I'm yet to young to know love i know that when I do I'll know. To be a brash youth growing up. My meaning, is nothing to no 1,does anyone really care? so why did I wright nonsence? !HOPE!


  • To eventually die...but to have alot of fun before dying :D! Joony


  • to fall into natures trap of love then get caught into having sex to replenish the earths supply to begin the cycle again

  • So the world is a stage, and life is a script, right William? Is everyone an actor then, whether they like it or not?


  • Lets see... the meaning of life, isn't it great. We sit and dig through our maze minded heads, trying to figure out why we're here, we aren't.

  • The five L's: Live, Love, Laugh, Learn, and Let go. What else is there in life but to live, to engage, to be present. Without love, life is never complete: to love oneself, another person, and all the beauties of the world. True laughter brings THE most present happiness. Learning helps all of the other L's; at the very least, it is essential for me. Let go -- perhaps the hardest thing. Without it, it prevents all of the other L's.


  • The meaning of life is to live.


  • First knowing what you want and then getting what you want.


  • one thing you know for sure, you never know.


  • to have sex.


  • To reproduce.


  • To eliminate the copy and paste command

  • the meaning of life is health not wealth. some people think that wealth is the meaning of life.


  • The meaning of life should actually be reversed to say the life of meaning. We will never know exactly what the meaning of life, but we will figure out how to live a life of meaning. To some it may be holding a loveable family, to some it may be advancing in their career. But, in the end everybody will evaluate their lives at one point and ask, “did I live a life of meaning? Because I still don’t know the meaning of life.”


  • to me life is like a test...some fail before they begin some and some of us dont...its like when we die...thats when our time is up to complete the test...some of us will pass and some of us wont...those who pass live longer lives..those who don't...are the ones who leave...


  • we are here because god said so


  • i don't think anyone has the real meaning of life...But i do think everone in this world has their own thought of why we are here...


  • To Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and soul. Yes LOVE


  • Nothing. We are here because of evolution. There is no underlying meaning. We are just here. We should not be living this life with so much technology. We should go back to the way mother earth intended the world to be. Or else mother nature will destroy us all.


  • Meaning of Life....don't analyze it so much, live it, take chances, take opportunities offered to you, smile, laugh, have fun....tomorrow is not a promise.


  • Very simply put, I believe we define our own meaning to life. Everyone is different and there fore have different defintions to the meaning of life. As one mom put it, my meaning in life is to love and care for my children. Where as someone else' has an entirly different meaning. You decide,what is YOUR meaning to life?


  • life is not dungeons and dragons or playing dress-up with wierd cloaks and hoods on the computer.


  • Heres how I see life: You are stumbling around in an enourmous maze, in total darkness, all the walls are painted black, and you are blindfolded, while 6 billion other people are doing the same. You have only feel and react to what is in your immediate area, you cannot see at all the things you havent reached yet. We wander around in the maze endlessly trying to find purpose, trying to find an exit to an easier life, when in reality the only exit is up or down, but you don't know what either direction holds for you until you go there, and after that there is no coming back. When you bump into someone you really like, you have to hold onto them and never let go, otherwise you may never be able to find each other again. Yeah, i know its kind of grim, but its pretty accurate too.


  • Never take anything for granted, it can be taken away from you anytime without warning.


  • Life is to love and to love is life, with a little beer and sex on the side.


  • I'm not too sure of the meaning of life, but I know what life is NOT about, and that is this: Life is NOT about being an authoritative, pencil-pushing clerk in a dead-end managerial position at a university ticket office.

  • Food Drink Love Air Surf

  • To worship God.

  • 42.

  • Fruity Pebbles, Dr. Pepper, and all the lovely anmials o the world.

  • My purpose in life is to respect life as was given to me.My body, mine, and soul is a gift from God.I was put here for many reasons, work,love,respect,accomplish many things,and above all love and appreciate your life with God.


  • 4 me life was given to us so we can enjoy each moment of it deeply..living like there's no tomorrow even though we face problems ..beeing ourselves leads us to happiness and self confidence so this is what we should to to live our life satisfied...be urself!!!and don't care for what others thinks of u.


  • Universally, there is no meaning to life; nor is there a meaning to any natural event. This lack of a universal meaning frees one to assign meaning to one's life based on individual interests, and there is nothing more valuable than that.


  • The only abosolute truth in life is that life is totally meaningless


  • God, An ice cold beer, and a loving woman


  • the meaning of life is to.........LIVE, we are to gain knowledge whether it be known or a discovery and not to try to be a great person but to let fate decide things for us.


  • "Interview with God"

    I dreamed I had an interview with God.
    "Come in," God said. "So, you would like to interview Me?"
    "If you have the time," I said.
    God smiled and said: "My time is eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
    "What surprises you most about mankind?"
    God answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived."
    God's hands took mine and we were silent for while and then I asked. "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"
    God replied with a smile: "To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis! To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that money can buy everything but happiness. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally different. To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about them and likes them anyway. To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves."
    I sat there for a while enjoying the moment. I thanked Him for his time and for all that He has done for me and my family, and He replied, "Anytime. I'm here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is ask for me, and I'll answer."
    People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
