In your opinion, what is the meaning/point of life?

Pretty much everyone wants to have some meaning, purpose, or goal to our lives outside of career goals and things like that.

So, whats the meaning of life to you? I'll start:

I think the purpose of life is to learn as much as you can and leave and impact on the people around you. Because even if you aren't world renowned or something like that, you'll be loved by the people around you, and love them in return. You may not be remembered hundreds of years in the future, but the ripple effect you have on each person you interact with means a little bit of you will be in someone random years in the future! Just like we inherit our genes from our ancestors, we also pick up on the ideas and mannerisms of friends or loved ones who picked them up from someone else! So learning and connecting as much as we can with the time we got is the point of life to me.

What about you? And lets try and keep it civil and welcome to whoever regardless of belief

there is no reason were here so it's up to us to give our own meaning to life. that's what I believe at least

absolutely nothing


we arent installed with a meaning from birth, so there's inherently no meaning to achieve. there's no meaning that we have to find. so once you get to the realization there's no meaning, it's your desicion to wrangle life by the balls. because the only other desicion is go crazy and have a mental breakdown.

there is no set meaning, but a point of life is to be happy! Don't hurt anyone, do what you want to do, don't think about stuff like "what will others say" etc. 

Just do what makes you happy.

learning makes you happy? Learn! Drawing makes you happy? Draw! Identifying with something makes you happy? Go on and do that!

Make yourself and others happy
