I think the movie City Slickers with Billy Crystal summed this topic up, the meaning of life is one thing, and everybody decides what that reason is for themselves. I do not believe it has anything to do with bettering society as a whole but growing spiritually yourself on a daily basis
I have the strange theory that there isn't actually a "meaning" of life. That's a purely human construct. There's plenty of life other than human on this planet, and none of it is concerned with finding "meanings." I believe there are two conditions: life and death, and neither has any particular meaning with which to be associated.
Everybody is answering this question as if humans are a separate life form unto itself, subject to special rules of life. The meaning of life is to survive and reproduce your own kind.
The meaning of life? I don't think there is a real answer to that question. No one has yet to actually agree to one thing. There's many different answers that everyone will give, but no one will agree on just one answer. I believe that its one of those things that no one will ever know, or should know.
Well, the meaning of life according to who/what? Meaning indicates a purpose. It indicates that we will be put to good use somehow or that we have a niche. I'm of similar mind to those in posts 4-8.
I don't think there is any meaning. Ascribing a meaning to life would be essentially to ascribe a label to all our lives. If the meaning of life is to build then we are builders. If it's to find medical cures then we're scientists. But we're not all builders ans scientists. We're artists, laborers, musicians, writers, scientists, potheads, mercenaries, cops and robbers. There isn't a meaning to life because the words that would make it up couldn't express it enough to truly encompass what life is for all of us.
The notion of their being a point to life comes from our tenacious nature, our ego and our fears. It comes from toiling our lives away and looking for any reason in the world for that to not be all there is to life. To me assuming that there is a point to life makes many assumptions about life - especially that there is a point.
Why does there need to be a point to life to live it?
