I think the meaning of life is LIVING. Perhaps it will seem too philosophical or too complicated, but this is the meaning since exists the man.

First, you must be happy. Whether this be through family, hobbies, friends, possessions,or actualization, it is a must. Second, you must make some type of lasting impression on the world. This can be as simple as raising happy, healthy, balanced, good children, leaving money or being involved in charity or more complicated. You can either find something spiritual to help others, or do something political to make the world around you a more just, moral place to live.

One must find there own pace in life, there own path they must follow. Knowing your goals, aspirations, beliefs, morals, values, etc... The key is to know that you have your own purpose in life whatever it may be. Just be content with your health, relationships, health, home, & community you put yourself in. It's your life, change it, be it, & make it.

On the last day of a philosophy course in Existentialism at the U. of Texas, my professor, the world-renowned Dr. Robert Solomon, asked if there were any questions before the end of class. I jokingly asked, "What's the meaning of life?" His answer was the greatest piece of advice I've ever received.

Everyone has a different "meaning" of life. The meaning is as individual as there are people on the planet. For some, it's living a good life, for others it's faith, for others it's without meaning. Joseph Campbell answered this question with one of his own: "What is the meaning of a flower?" Which means, it just is. Some people would say that having a meaning of life is irrelevant to living life.

The purpose of life is learn from our mistakes. We keep making mistakes until we figure out how to do things the right way -- not harming others or ourselves. It's a process of trial and error to get it right.

The meaning of life is to recognize our inherent goodness, cultivating generosity, virtue, kindness, and compassion. Once we have self-actualized, it is our responsibility to bring benefit to others we meet.

The meaning of life is to get a piece of yourself into the next generation. Getting kids is the most obvious way, but sending off good ideas is another. Your biological or mental offspring will be combined into other structures and be carried on to the ultimate goal. And what that is nobody knows....

And you'll never be able to figure it all out at once, because the knowing and understanding of it all precludes the meaning itself.

It doesn't "mean" anything. That's the biggest red herring the great father gave us. The search for a meaning where there is none.
