There was onetime someone told me I had to find my purpose in the world. My meaning of life. They had said that they had found their purpose and that they would help me find mine. Of coarse I ended up crying at that time...but thats a different story.
I still haven't found it yet and in some cases I've had to start at the begining and find my way back to were I was.

"Our True Nature is what is left when we recognize and discard all our habits, stereotypes, manners, and pretending, superficial behavior and become fully conscious, truly natural and spontaneous. Note that some people are so attached to their manners and habits that it is very hard, if not impossible, to discover who they really are. The only way to get an instant insight into their personality seems to be by watching their Aura, because the Aura shows their True Nature, behind any facade of superficial behavior."
I pulled this out of the reading that you gave me. For anyone who is trying to figure out there purpose or their "meaning of life", trying pulled away from everything you try to be.

Well...one of them was to tell stories, but that could also lead to lying and no matter what anyone says, I detest every form of lying except sarcasm.
Another one was to help other, but I don't know how to help them.
And I don't really see myself as a leader.
I think I need to broaden my horizon and stop limiting myself to so little things

"improving the world"
In the terms of evolution, discriminating people with "bad genotypes" tends to improve the health of human population in the long term. (IE: Kill the sickly, kill the weak)
To bring whole humanity a healthier life is to improve world?
Gee... Who's to say?
Or the wars of our history. Without them, we might lack steel, gunpowder, fuels, engines, antibiotics, medical knowledge and who knows what?
In the ancient times, there was a law forbidding people from cutting up dead corpses. Only way for doctors of the time to study human anatomy was either to do so in a secrecy, or by observing the wounds of those fallen and or injured in the Arena fights.
So without all the wars and competition against each other, we might still be living in a world of pain and sickness. Yet here we are with our computers, antibiotics, surgery procedures, cars, toilets and external hard-drives.
So purpose of life?
Stick your genes into someone and try not to perish in the process =P.
Nah. I don't know.

My "Meaning of life" is to save a life of someone I love and adore, even at the risk of my life ( for more info, watch gohan goes ssj 2 against cell :P ).

Lol you'd watch too many movies :P
Anyway, I think there IS no meaning of life, the only meaning of life is the meaning you give to it.

To just be and love all that is.
Anyway, I think there IS no meaning of life, the only meaning of life is the meaning you give to it.
Probably the wisest answer I've seen as of yet. I think that many people concern themselves with this question so much that they forget that they have a choice in the matter (oftentimes).

I would have to agree with you wandering wolf. by the way, how did the number 42 come up with the answer to the meaning of life anyway. I always wanted to know that...unless its just some random thing Hollywood came up with.

Joke-Lain:
Here's a wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Answer_to_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything
To sum it up, the author was trying to show that you have to ask the right questions. And perhaps, asking what the meaning of life is isn't the right question.
---
If you want to talk about the meaning of anything; You will typically not get the "same" answer twice. Everyone perceives many things differently. One person loves X, while another disdains X. I'm sure there's common themes to what some would answer about what the meaning of life is. I've heard "to have fun", "to save someone", "to make the world a better place", and "the meaning you assign to it" a million times.
Maybe it is the wrong question.
Why not, " What is the meaning of death? "

Life, the Universe and Everything = 42, It even says it on the google Calculator (no joke)
I think that Life Has no Meaning, Life was created purely from chance. Infact, nothing we do in the grand Scheme of things is Truly Meaningful, But when we find purpose, we make our meanings, we find a meaning to life. If looking on the side of the Ego, we can say that Life is what you make of it. But in Reality, Life is Nothing.
As for the Meaning of Death, The same can be Said for as above, with a one exception. From the side of the Ego, Death is meant to tell you that nothing is forever, so make what you can of Life.
If you look at the Side of your Ego, you will always be forced into making something out of your Life, That is why Ego is the root of Material advancement.
As for the right question, I think that is What do you get when you multiply Six By Nine ^_^. In base 10 it equals 54, but when you use base 13, It equals 42. The author himself says that no one makes jokes in 13 base. With this being said, I don't think the author was joking about what he said.

I think the meaning of life is to just live. After you pass from this life its seems alot of people want to leave something behind. I guess thats the meaning for some. This live may be a test, to see if your soul is ready pass to another world. It could just have no meaning at all.
But i think humans are too small to truly see the meaning of life. If life has a meaning, it would be too big to find on earth.
Well thats how i see it anyway.
