The meaning of life varies upon what you believe in. If you follow Nihilism, then there is no meaning. If you follow a belief in say, Christianity, than it is living in the glory of your deity.

The meaning of life may as well be with whatever we believe in.

Not going to lie, tough question. I think to me, it's making the most out of life as possible. It's the reason I want to be in special education so I can ignite the flames of potential inside people with disabilities. I want to teach them that there's more to life than just their own shell. I seen some people that don't take that chance to improve themselves. So yeah, I like to help people.

 

[Surtur]

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

 

[OtterParty]

Try and be nice to people, avoid eating (excessive, unhealthy kinds of) fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

 

[Holdek]

even though your existence was but a drop in infinity.

And yet infinity is made up of all of the drops.

The meaning of life is to find your own meaning, your own purpose. You need to master yourself and find what makes you tick, find out what will enrich your life and what will not. Like others have mentioned, you need to make the most of your life, because it's the only one you know for sure that you're going to get.

 

[Space_Dandy]

Have a relationship with God. Find His purpose for your life, try to better yourself to have the wisdom to understand His will, and the strength to carry it out.

 

[Silver]

To chase and succeed at your dreams.

 

[Pine Tar]

Make the biggest impact you can.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

One decides their own purpose in life. Whether or not it can be made reality is another matter.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

Biologically speaking, to live long enough to pass on your genes.

However, the version I live by is to make the most of your life and to improve the world you live in.

I think Reform Jews have the right idea - there's no literal messiah like the Orthodox Jews believe, so they think life is about improving the world around you to bring about a messianic age (world peace, brotherhood of all men, the lion laying with the lamb, etc.). Some Orthodox Jews subscribe to this because they think if the world is like a messianic age, then the Messiah will come.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

The meaning of life is to give your life meaning, and only you can decide that. For some it's having fun, having good relationships with their family and friends and maybe having a special kind of career, such as finding the cure to a disease that they or a loved one suffers from.

You only get one life, so make the most of it. Or at least don't become an lolcow.
