What is the meaning of life?

Question

What is our raison d'etre for life?

Answer 1

Monty Python addressed this excellent question in a movie by the same title.  

 

But all kidding aside the actual answer is 42.

Answer 2

From an evolutionary perspective, the purpose of life is to propagate life.  In other words, by having children, we add another link to the unbroken chain of life that stretches all the way back to the most primitive organisms that first appeared on Earth.

Answer 3

What ever you want it to be.

 

No other person or group should be able to impose their beliefs on you.

 

That said, you might want to consider other people's reaction to your actions and statements.

 

Don't start wars.

Answer 4

Hope, the creative self, and affirmation of our personhood and work from others.
