there is no meaning to life, if there is were not going to find out what it is anytime soon anyway so just enjoy it while you can.

The meaning of my life is to make the life of myself and those around me better....

And for TB, with better I mean "more endorphin release" because I am compulsed to.

We have words for the processs in our brain that actually express the world when not viewed objectively.

Stay subjective.

Objective-land is a cold place.

The meaning of life is life itself. Without it, there would be no meaning.

To have fun, hopefully. Though that can be difficult to achieve sometimes.

That's how I see it, as well. Stars are a biproduct of the Big Bang, planets a biproduct of stars, life a biproduct of planets, intelligence a biproduct of life... Anyone looking for the Meaning of Life is deluding themselves.

People, animals, interests, work, religion et c can subjectively seem to give your life a meaning, but it is not the Meaning of Life; such a thing simply doesn't exist.

There is no divine meaning. You are born(At the mercy of your parents genes), you try to find well-being and happiness, then die. I do not not have 'Mortality anxiety' or accept the notion of an after life.

For self,it would be to have a life that is less painful,less challenging and as much quality of life as possible,whilst being able to do the things that want to.

..."Get, get, get, get, get psycho
I wanna get psycho

I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna"....

....
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I don't know what the meaning of my life is, yet. I don't know if I'll ever know.
The Meaning of Life? It's what you make of it.

Maybe life in itself is the meaning. But I believe that its different to everyone

Meaning of life is individual and personal. There is no one true answer for everyone.

I have decide to follow the way Socrates set out. Question things and challenge Eternal Truths. The idea is to show that the emperor is bare-a** naked.

I think the neutral and appropriate answer to this question is, whatever you want it to mean.

I've made mine as: to follow my moral code, care for those I love, and to do my best not to kill anyone.

My meaning seems to have been hardwired: Incessant learning.
