Live has no meaning.
That is, life has the meaning that you give to it.

Respect!
1) Nothing other than feeding the planet a little.

2) What is the meaning of an ape's life, or a dog's life? I don't think there is a meaning to life, it just is. The meaning of my life is to live it while I have it.

I live it for myself and for those I love.

1. I'll be dead, the opposite of being alive.
2. I live because I was born.

Respect!
I know the organic and energy part of my person will breakdown into is basic components and return to the earth. Minerals will be absorbed by plants and gases will slip into the atmosphere. The natural recycle of elements and energy will occur, and I will be in tune with the earth one more time.

I was taught all my life that our goal it to leave thing better than we find them. I hope when I am gone my little spot will reflect that goal. It is the only non personal meaning I have.

I have a number of personal goals which I feel sure would give meaning to my life. These are different for all of us, and relate to what the future will look like for those we leave behind.

Meaning of life? To everyone it's different, i live for myself, my family, for my dogs, to be happy, healthy, explore, learn, teach, cry, laugh, and enjoy what is here to enjoy. After i die, i will become nothing. My energy will be transformed to something else, and may be i'll become a pretty flower, or just a nasty weed.

You'll remember as much after you die as you did before you were born... Nothing

What will happen to me after my life ends? Nothing, I will be dead like any other human or animal or plant and although my body will remain, my soul will cease to exist. I've had people tell me that this is a terribly pessimistic idea, but I don't understand why. When you're dead, you just can't feel anything, so why is it pessimistic to believe that when your brain stops working you cease to have a "soul" ?

I'm never going to die...I'm IMMORTAL!! If there is a Heaven it is going to be awesome with all the fast cars, unlimited beer, and hot women. Or so I hope...

Okay...really. I hope that everyone remembers that I was a cool cat, laughs a little, and then go on living their lives to the best of their abilities and expectations. I would not want nor demand anything more. It'll be, "Goodbye, World - nice knowing ya!!"

Like a tornado; you were here, lasted for a while, then don't exist anymore.
