Meaning of life can be only discovered by one that is able to identify the core purpose of life.
People who commit suicide can be identified as being that do not hold knowledge of their purpose in life and how their being is significant in this world.
People who commit suicode therefore can be identified as being that cannot unveil the truth of the meaning of life.
I used to think about it,but I cannot find any answer to it, so I give it up.
One day when I saw the smiles on my parents, I feel one meaninful way of me is to make them happy. :)
Every day tasks are directed to fulfil its purpose, therefore has a meaning to be fulfilled. Every day tasks makes up main goals we make in life, therefore these tasks has a meaning to be fulfilled.
Every main goals in life makes up who we want to be in life, therefore these goals has a meaning to be fulfilled.
Every component we want to be in life makes up life itself, therefore these components we want to be has a meaning that needs to be fulfilled.
Every life in earth with a purpose therefore has a meaning.
Every life in earth has a purpose to serve in heaven or suffer in hell, therefore life has a meaning to be fulfilled to be united with God in heaven, or suffer forever in hell.
Heaven and hell are states of the mind only. There are no territorial landmasses called heaven or hell in other than our minds.
It is unclear where the borderline lies between the mind and the spirit however we do know that it is the spirit that continues with its journey after life.
Sounds like you just read Fight Club.Quote:

And I cherish the gift that I have instead of lamenting it simply because in the grand scheme of things I am nothing. While we can dwell on the fact that we are merely biological masses whose lives individually mean practically nothing, I prefer to give my own life meaning. Nihilism is permanent, but we may as well "seize the day."
One of the meanings of life is we, as sociable beings, must provide love and care to our neighbours no matter who they are.
Life isnt permanent, the world isnt permanent..
As Shakespeare once said, the world is a stage..
We are merely actors, with lines written by God and when our part is up, we have to leave the stage.. whether we like it or not..
But that doesnt mean, you shouldnt live it..
Let us all be actors who improvise the script and have fun while doing it...
What about some people's footprint in the world. Lets only assume the permanency in the world. Famous beings such as James Joyce, Einstein, Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci or even Marylin Monroe. They leave a permanent footprint in the world that will be remembered in future ages.Quote:

When materialism, love, or art can't fill the emtiness only because you weren't built that way.Quote:

I believe meaning of life is doing everything in your power to achieve palmary for yourself and for your loved ones.
I believe meaning of life is something very simple yet veiled by unnecessary thinking that blinds the discoverer.
No, there is definitely a meaning to life. You all just don't understand. I have a meaning. I must have a meaning. Look, I'm here, and when I was young I was told by my father a very long story about hte moral implications of cause and effect and THEREFORE there must be a cause to my undertsanding.
And you look here, when I went to college they taught me about laws and rules by which nature can be applied and will bend to and they handed me a paper that read "PURPOSE" in gold font and patted me on the back and now I have a job and kids and there is PURPOSE in that, is there not?
And no, you look here, things die but they live, and if you acknowledge the purpose you too will find it, and live.
And no, you must be sad, beacuse a world without purpose is sad, and I am happy, because I must be because something greater than this loves me and it ISN'T my own creation because it's absolute.
And no, I am not religious, I simply have purpose.
And yes, there is purpose.
I am happy to shout a yay for someone knows purpose exists in our lives, now go and save the imbeciles out to commit suicide. Im not being sarcastic, guy I know committed suicide yesterday and only if he thought over his purpose in life, he would have held back his intentions. Too late now, but its not too late to help other people that are thinking of suicide.Quote:

Patty Bernstein (in a passionate voice): What's your special purpose?
Navin R. Johnson (still yelling): Well, when I was a kid my mom told me... there goes my special purpose! And someday I'd find out what my special purpose was!
Patty Bernstein: Today's the day!
Navin R. Johnson: (moaning as we see the whole trailer shakes from the outside): Hey, this is like a ride!
...Actually I was being sarcastic, there's no discernable difference between life and death to anyone but us and those who choose to eat us, and considering we're at the "top" of the food chain must of them would rather we be dead.Quote:
