The true meaning of life is to only search for a path that makes you happy and such. Any look onto what the meaning might be one way or another is something that will convince people to give up on life. Meaning of life = left as a question.

...this was meant as a reference to Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy books. A trilogy in five parts. If you enjoy humor in your sci-fi, I recommend the series. Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency is also very good. If you get the audio books, the author does the readings...and he does them very well.

The true meaning of life? If we were meant to know, there wouldn't be individuality anymore, just everyone existing for the same boring purpose, and that wouldn't be very much fun at all.
And yeah...I learned that from the mice xp

In all technicality, don't we all exist for the same purpose anyway? Humans may live individual lives with different experiences and desires, but we're not actually any different from the animals we rule over.
"The whole world over, we eat, we sh*t, we f**k, we kill and we die." - quote by the Marquis de Sade in the movie Quills
I don't think I could have summed that up any better actually. I know humans also create and compose many wonderful things, a skill which the animals do not possess, but compare it to things in the animal kingdom.
Ex: We paint the walls of our homes to be pleasing. There is a bird that paints its nest blue to attract a mate.
Beautiful buildings were created in the past to honor the great rulers of the world. What about all the colony animals/insects that create detailed and intricate dwellings like ant hills, hives, and burrows for their queen or alpha.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of long term goals, but when you put it that way I guess that makes sense.

I am amused by the fact that there is such a perfect comparison that puts all animals on the same level - because humans are in fact animals, no?
Unfortunately putting humans and the rest of the animal kingdom on the same level may bring some pretty fantastic animals down quite a bit...
The only thing i have to sort of argue with is that while we may all lead very similar lives in the sense of that we all eat, sh*t, f*ck, kill, and die, we also strive for very different things. Whether we actually do them or not matters very little. So while we may all be DOING the same things, we don't all WANT the same things. And that I think is what makes us different, and may very well be the meaning to life.
...Which is actually obviously 42. I mean honestly. Who can't tell that just from looking around us? ( blaugh )

The meaning of life is to learn not to fight back. Just roll with the punches and hope for the best.

The meaning to life is to live in peace. We should also respect this world, and all that is upon it. Once we can harmonize with nature, all the wars and violence would stop. Love is deffinetly the key to the meaning of life.^_^

It's 42.
Douglas was a genius...I've read all of his books- even part of the one that he never finished.
Never forget your towel! *clings to towel*
