The meaning of life? When we create something, we do so for a purpose: beauty, function, fun, etc… Humankind was created for a purpose. We must look to the creator for our purpose, our meaning. If we look to the Bible, as the creator’s word, and historical relevance, we find that we WERE created for a purpose; His purpose. We were also granted free will. We can choose his purpose, or our own purpose, if we reject His. His purpose was for relationship with Him. That is the ultimate meaning of life. If you don’t like His meaning, you can choose your own, which will not be as fulfilling, but none-the-less, what you desire. There are benefits to choosing His purpose. It is not worth it to everyone, which shows His great love, that He does not demand that we follow His purpose.

A really difficult question.I would propose two answers. First the real meaning of life is to earn an honourable death. The second is that there is no meaning to life except in what we learn and experiance as we live it. We are complete in ourselves we don’t need another person to complete us but we do need people to allow us to experience love, regret, sorrow and friendship.

First, people must respect him. Must get along with people, you should have the union in a draw. We must love and respect. We must be understanding. We must empathize. We must not break each other, we should not worry.
Most importantly, we must always support each other.

Philosophers have been pondering this question for centuries……and have still been unable to answer it fully…..as humans it is normal for us to wonder…but perhaps that is the point….that we are able to wonder…a lion doesn’t wonder why he is here..nor does a leaf on a tree or a fish in the ocean..God gave human beings the ability to ask questions about their own existence such as “why are we here?” and “what is the meaning of life?” and maybe just maybe that is the meaning…to have the knowledge to ask but not to be able to answer it ourselves..I believe that that is up to the Lord and when we cross over to the next plane we will have our answer…we are on Earth for a blink when you think about the fact that the afterlife is an eternity…the best we can do is love one another and that may sound trite nd hokey but it is a nice way to think about it…

I believe the meaning of life to be what i thought about when my dad passed. Its knowing that it’s the things that cant be replace that give it meaning. Loving and letting the ones you love know that everyday. Making memories that will last a life time and embracing them with all of your heart.It’s about living in the now, and forgetting about the past. It’s about realizing that it’s the small everyday things that will always count. But most of all it’s about not taking what God has givin you for granit. Because today, tomorrow, or even the next hour is not promised.

i belive we should not look at it as what is the meaning of life? but as what is the meaning of me living today? when you look at it in the long run, you can not actually find an answer. the reason for this is that the meaning is not actually clear. however if will look at it as the meaning of today then we actually have a meaning to that day. for instance i wake up to go to school everyday, to see my friends, to learn. that is the meaning for that day. once that day is passed move on to the next. by doing this not only is it easier to live life, it is also easier to understand it all.
