    Life is beautiful!!!!!! That is MY meaning. You guys need to get out and do things you enjoy more, and/or get a new perspective.

    First of all: I have not read all the previous posts since the list was a long one, so things I say in this post might be said before, but these are my thoughts on the subject.

    In many ways the conversation related to 'the meaning of life' is a pointless one to say the least. Perhaps one day there will be certain proof of life's formula, and its goal, but the way I see it is that we still have no evidence of a universal goal or purpose for us humans.

    Each and every person adds to their own personal meaning of life. Everybody defines the meaning of life in their own way, evidently leaving everyone to deal with it in their own way. One might take up a religion and devote their life to it, others might abandon the idea of having a purpose and just live their lives day by day, and even others do commit suicide to just end it all.

    Now, those are some brief thoughts on the way I perceive the discussion on the meaning of life. This being said, one might wonder what my personal beliefs are. I might disappoint some of you, but I truly belief there is no goal, other than to pass on our genes. Although that's what I truly believe, I like to think that in a way my goal is to live a happy life, filled with company I enjoy having, and just generally doing whatever I feel that's right.

    Well, my room-mate and a friend of mine just interrupted my line of thought and I'm afraid I'll have to leave it at that. I'm going to enjoy my dinner now.

    This is the stupidest question I have ever heard. What meaning life has? Life is life and life can be anything: a saint, a murderer, a saver, a destroyer, a homicidal, a suicidal, a bomber, a killer, a savoir, a Christ, a Lucifer, a Buddha.

    Keep a new born baby in a particular circumstance he will be what you want him to be, a Gandhi or a predator, a Hitler or a Mandela.

    Life is meaninglessness and it is sheer nothing, a void, a nothing.

    All you have fixated on any opinionated thoughts are trashes and they muddle you more than what you previously were. You will be deluded and misguided if you read more of those foolish scholars who look at things through colored lenses.

    Osho, calm down. In arguing this point you don't realize how much you contradict in your statements. When you say something has no meaning, even something as ample as life, you are claiming a meaning, i.e., no meaning.
    The problem with meaning is that you see it when it is in front of you but it cannot be defined. Life has a lot of meanings, both sensical and nonsensical.

    I like your last comment that accords with what I had in mind and yet I had no words to translate into a meaning

    Our lives are here for us to serve. It's up to us to choose our master.

    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    In fact meaning if life has any is something born of our perceptions and beyond and above that life has no meaning and if is like void, space and the same space is called room, inside, outside,geographies, planets, stars and galaxies and after all it is just space and life is as blank as that and we are stuffing with our trashes and invented stocks

    You guys are mixing up the physical sciences with psychological expressions.
    No child ever asks the 'meaning of life' its only us over intellectual adults that ask these silly questions. Free-will/meaning/god, yada yada... Just enjoy loving interpersonal relationships,and if you havent got any find them or improve yourself till you are capable of getting and maintaining one. Read 'montaignes on FRIENdSHIP'. (but dont take it literally!)

    That idea of service is hard to grasp. Too advanced for a locomotive without anything beyond analogical conscience. Besides, who would want to master us who hasn't already done it. Good clue.
