Whats the meaning of life?

[Goosemaster]

The meaning of life is meaning.

You strive to define it, and strive to have it define yourself.

 

[Sahakiel]

The way I see it, the meaning of life is to have grandchildren.

then its worthless

Define "worth", in this context..

any action that has an impact

Too vague. Social impact? Emotional impact? Physical impact? All or any of these? Negative or positive? (And against what standards do you measure that?) Impact on what or who? What do you mean by "action"?

"Worth" is generally regarded as an attribute, as in stating that something "has worth". "Action" has a number of different meanings.

Stating vague generalities and putting others to the task of divining some kind of assumed "truth" from what you're saying is a mark of sloppy thinking. Be specific. (Remember, I started this train of thought by asking thoughtful questions; you are the one making an assertion. I am merely asking you to either prove it or at least show evidence supporting your statement.)

The meaning of life is whatever meaning you assign to it.

The purpose of life is to continue the species.

it includes emotional, social, physical, spiritual, whatever, just some impact in some form or fashion. and it can either be negative, positive, or netural.

Lol, not the meaning, but certainly a fun part of life.

As a Christian, the meaning of life is clear. I won't go into that here, but if anyone wants to know about it PM me.

If you're religious, then the meaning of life is to worship God.

Otherwise, forget about the meaning of life dude, just enjoy it while you can.

The answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything is....


42!

The meaning of life, even if you are religious, is to help make the world a better place. It is to work hard, to contribute, and to become without contempt that which you would have others be.
As Gandhi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
If your intention is to force others to be that change, then you have been misled down a path of evil.

The meaning of life is to eat chocolate.
Why else would be alive?

Sometimes the question is harder to find than the answer...

Note to all Douglass Adams pseudo-fanboys:

Forty-two is the answer to "The ultimate question of life, the universe and everything". It is NOT the meaning of life.
