What is the meaning of life?

[Cuthien, Wolf-maiden]

Laughing...perhaps one of the greatest human pleasures.  In my opinion.  I'm glad God gifted us with it.  (You have no idea how hard those last four words were to type.)

I agree........... to gift us with a sense of humour, God must have one himself 
I get the impression quite a lot that He's laughing along with me at something funny 

The meaning of life...........apart from being 42, I guess I go with the 'traditional' Christian ideas

[Cuthien, Wolf-maiden]

I think the duck-billed platypus is an example of God's sense of humor...it defies logical thought, really.  Also, God sends us laughter when we're with our friends.  It's kind of sad since one of my best friends stopped laughing so much.  Still, I laugh with my other friends, so...

[Hawkes]

I have always found it say when any of my friends have stopped laughing so much, no matter if their laughter gave me happiness or not. No laughter is a sign of a deep hurt.

The meaning of life, a topic i did not expect to see on here i will admit. I wonder if the world or universe would truly end if the answer was found? But to be serious, i have always believed the meaning of life has always been to experience life. To live how you want and to enjoy being alive here. To enjoy life.

Ofcourse we have the pains of life, the sadness that fills our heart at times of tragedies at times we lose those we care most for. But we have the joys of life to experience. The joy of spending that quite afternoon with a friend who has been down and who over the course of the afternoon began to smile and laugh again. The joy of being out on the town with your mates, drinking and enjoying the music of a club and dancing the night away. Or the joy and love of spending a morning in the hands of the person you love as you watch the sun rise on a new day, and see the face of the one you love beside you. There are many other joys to balance out the heartaches this world is capable of sending.

As Cuthien put it, a sense of humor was one of the greatest gifts we were born with.

Wooah ... that is like a major indepth question there people!!

I don't think anyone can know the meaning of life or why we are here and how we are here, etc .... people just go on theories and many people get into arguments about these things which can never be proved no matter what all the scientists say ..... so I think people should just live life to the fullest and stuff the theories and everything!!

In my opinion ... the meaning of life is to just live life and do your best to be happy and make everyone around you happy ....   ... and smile ...

[Cuthien, Wolf-maiden]

Smiling and laughing definitely helps!

It appears that human have a compulsion to search for meaning in everything. That's why we search for a meaning in life, but maybe it has no meaning.

Exactly!!  People just get into arguments about stuff that they just cannot possibly prove ... getting themselves in pickles and all that and it's like WHAT IS THE POINT??? If you spend your life searching for the meaning of it .. you never actually get to live it and you don't really get any closer to the question you started off with do u

[Cuthien, Wolf-maiden]

But it's got to have a meaning.  Every life affects another, and that life in turn affects others...Have you ever read The Five People You Meet in Heaven?  Awesome book, and even awsomer lesson.  Our lives affect others, no matter what religion we are.  A terrorist could affect the life of a 5-year-old in Minnesota, if not directly, indirectly.

If there is a meaning then it will be too complicated for humans to comprehend so why bother trying to discover it?

Try living your life instead of wasting your time trying to do something you can never do .... it's things like the these that the word 'can't' was invented for people!!

Yeah everyone's lives effect others people's lives ... that's just a fact .. it isn;t a meaning or anything .... and there are many different opinions about the meanings of life and there are people from each argument who are so certain that they would bet their lives on it .... but they can't possibly all be right ... they're all wrong....life has no meaning ... we're just meant to live it and try our best to be happy

Reading that reminded me of a song by James

I’ve been looking for truth
At the cost of living
I’ve been afraid
Of what’s before mine eyes
Every answer found
Begs another question
The further you go, the less you know

I think the purpose of our lives is, from my perspective, to glorify God.  That's my belief.  But if you think about, for instance, all the soldiers who fought in WWII...the meanings of their lives were, in the end, to pave the way for freedom.  Affecting people is a meaning.

42!!!

BUT WHY!!!?
