To me? The meaning of life to me is being a good daughter, pet owner, niese, cousin, grandchild. I am a worry-much. So the meaning of life to me is to be a good relative, have good grades, and stay alive until I achieve all my goals! :D

That question is personal to each unique individual, meaning that what you believe is your own philosophy developed by your own unique mind.

As to the meaning of life, I think it's a teacher, per se, teaching us everything from life to death... not as grim really, there are a lot of things that happen in between. But also, the paradoxical nature of life attributes to an unequal distribution of happiness and sadness. However, that also in it's own way is a balance, cause people of all walks of life experience this pooled plethora of emotion with seemingless disregard for any control mechanism guiding the flow that is life. There are many uncertainties that are hard to overcome and debate, but we all choose our paths - even the path of no choice is a choice.

For me the meaning of life is...different for everyone. Yeah I know it's totally cliche but it's true. My reason in this life is to have my novel published. After that I can die without fear...OH THANK THE LESSER GODS FOR THAT!

I read a quote about this question that I absolutely loved, and it resmes my take on this subject:

"The meaning of life can be summed up in two words: to live"

Well... for me - life is pointless...
U grow up and have a good time - but at the moment u recognize that, u r to old to live on this way of life. After school u get to bear the real life. Work to live, live to work. Freetime is getting rare and the really important things vanish. When u get back ur free time u reach the end of the line and are to old to live a free life...

Well when I was unemployed I felt empty and didnt use my freetime well. Now when I am working I dont have time to use it well...

life the only sure in it is someday you won't be here

in my life time I'm gonna try to get my goals and have a family when I'll get it, I'll die in peace

Sometimes I think life has no meaning other that to live and be happy, which would mean different things for different people.
But as for me, I could care less about my own happyness, as long as the people I love and care for are happy, then its good enough for me.

To live is Christ. To die is gain.

IMHO since we can't be TOTALLY happy while being here, the meaning of life is preparing yourself for the other world. Pretty simple

My personal meaning of life(since I have no Religion) is to have children and to work hard for them to have a good life afterwards! Of curse I will help my father with his work before I start taking his place...That is our tradition and I am proud of it!^^

Meaning of life is to realise that life is a curse and it sux. Of course you can find something to do, like some activity be it meaningful or not - just to help you forget that life sux. Other thing : you can do something for future generations (damn that sounds like "Uncle Sam wants you" :) ) .
i think our generation still will not grasp extended life or immortality achieved with the miracle of electronics and even when made, it will be far from publicly available.

It may not have deep words, but, ur right. When I quoted I thought of my needs. You, umlike me, are more considerate, if I could change the past I'd luv 2 write the same thing :D

Hm...you'd have to have a major in philosophy to answer that. But my point of view is that you should just live to be happy, for the people you love and the things that you feel that you should do and maybe listen to your mother if she says it's wrong...I guess I'm just saying to have fun cause life's short. :)

Life is being who you are, and building that who-you-are.
Period.

I don't think anyone really knows THE MEANING OF LIFE, but I believe that as long as you continue to try to live up to your potential, there is meaning in your life. Just make sure that whatever you're doing is something you enjoy, because life really isn't as long as it seems. Try to enjoy and value life while it lasts, and just be happy.

Because that's really all we can do, isn't it?

Another quote: *Didn't sum1 already say that!?*

The only meaning life has is the one people assign it. So, it depends on the individual. Personally, I haven't assigned a meaning to my own life; I find it only limits my horizons.

the meaning of life is to leave something important to every people,and everyone will remember it
even you died
