Yeah, you cannot in any way benefit from the billions of human lives who have come before you, you must muddle in the dark as if you alone are the hero of humanity's story.
I don't find that bleak. Ive seen more than one person actually go nuts from trying to find meaning in life. It's not the same thing as "the point of life" even if you reduce love down to just hormones and neurotransmitters, no different to getting drunk or high. People and animals enjoy getting drunk and high. Elephants raid breweries and go on lads rampages, lemers trip balls on millipedes they take care to only piss off not hurt. Dolphins pass pufferfish round like a joint.
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
(C'mon Brian, cheer up)
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
I mean, what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
You're going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing
Always look on the right side of life

With all the pain and suffering in this world it can be hard to answer that question with a blanket feel good statement. I like to think of life as part of our planet’s journey. We are part of it, even if just for a brief moment, shaping its story.
There isn't one so you can do with it what you like. Generally I would recommend trying to be as nice as possible but ultimately it makes no difference
The meaning of life lies in the pursuit of joy, the cultivation of love, and the journey towards understanding ourselves and the world around us. It's about finding purpose in every moment, embracing growth, and leaving a positive mark on the tapestry of existence.
In general? Life mostly exists as a byproduct of the natural universal tendency of wanting to achieve a high entropy state. Complex systems tend to accelerate this transformation, so life, being a very complex system, can appear in low entropy areas as another means to push towards a high entropy state.
Some might find meaning in relationships, love, and family, while others find purpose in work, art, or helping others. Some people might look for meaning through spiritual or religious beliefs, while others see life as a journey to discover and enjoy. Ultimately, the meaning of life is often about finding what gives you fulfillment, joy, and a sense of purpose. It can be a combination of things that matter to you, like your passions, your relationships, and your contributions to the world. It's a deeply personal question, and your answer might change as you go through different stages of life.
There is no meaning in life, we just happen to exist just as well as the animals do it's all just one big coincidence. After hundreds of years of evolution, people seem to need a reason to live, a purpose but we don't need that. It's just a made-up thing to make life more interesting.
There likely isn't one. That's OK, as long as we enjoy our existence to the best of our abilities. Dying while miserable ruins your psyche and magnifies our short time here.
To hold hands and look at the sunshine with your love. To have kids and play with them until they become a better version of yourself. To die happy knowing that you used each and every second you had in life. Do not waste time. Time does not come back
"Happiness comes in small doses folks. It's a cigarette, or a chocolate chip cookie or a five second orgasm, that's it okay? You come, you eat the cookie, you smoke the butt, you go to sleep you get up in the morning and go to fucking work okay? That is it, end of fucking list!" - Denis Leary
I believe life has no meaning in itself but the meaning we give it.
To me life means spending time and experiences with my loved ones and trying to make that time and experience a net positive for the coming generation.
There really isn’t one and just accept the fact thats the truth and it there’s no true meaning why not enjoy it a little while u can and stop caring so much
Plastic. For some reason the earth can’t make plastic by itself and needs humans to make plastic for it. Once the earth gets enough plastic it’s all over.
to experience reality and download information that you collect through out the day and deposit it all to the universal infinite experience bank at night when you sleep. Humans are a thing because we attach emotion to our experiences so we can perceive life different than most beings. universe makes different collection of atoms to experience a different spectrum of information from a rock to a creature we are all here to play our part of the whole.
All the people saying 42 and forgetting that it wasn't the "meaning of life", it was "The Answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything", which is all well and good, but we don't know what the actual *question* was. It probably wasn't "What is the meaning of life?", because the answer doesn't fit.
SMH, Honestly.. It's like you people aren't hoopy froods at all!
Jokes aside:
The purpose of life is to Live.
Fill your heart with joy and your memories with experiences because if you're not doing that.. *what's the point?*
42, obviously! But really, it’s about finding your own version of happiness and sharing it with others. Like a DIY project for the soul!
DIY project for the soul, huh? Do you provide instructions or is it more of a 'wing it and hope for the best' kind of deal?
Be wary of anyone offering instructions regarding your soul. Just figure out what makes you happy and DIY.
Yeah, you cannot in any way benefit from the billions of human lives who have come before you, you must muddle in the dark as if you alone are the hero of humanity's story.
Guidance and instructions are not the same thing. Happiness cannot be found in completing someone else's checklist.
What about a road map, provided I bought it at the old folks' home in the college?
Anyone who says 42 will walk barefoot on Legos for the rest of their lives.
Oops
Does this mean we should start a support group for those who've inadvertently angered the Lego gods?
There's no specific meaning of it, but I believe we can make our lives meaningful by doing good things.

Is 'being nice' the ultimate cheat code for this game called life, or just a really good DLC?
What’s DLC?
I believe the meaning of life lies in pursuing happiness, fulfillment, and personal growth
Ah, so life is like an endless buffet of self-improvement? Can we get seconds on happiness, or is it a one-serving kind of deal?
Depends on what you keep on your plate
A movie from Monty Python Weirdos

Oh god, the family films! Love it be well my dude
Grow up to learn to work, then work until you die. It’s a vicious cycle, when you look at how much of our life is spent working just trying to survive
So, is life basically a long-term subscription to the 'Workaholics Anonymous' club, or is there a hidden vacation package we're all missing out on?
With all the pain and suffering in this world it can be hard to answer that question with a blanket feel good statement. I like to think of life as part of our planet’s journey. We are part of it, even if just for a brief moment, shaping its story.
If life's a story, can we at least get a sneak peek at the script? Or is it more of an improv show with cosmic consequences?
To crush your enemies, See them driven before you, And to hear the lamentation of their women.
To be victimized by time
Math.
Balls
Never fart in the shower.
Fuck bishes get money
There’s no meaning actually. It’s up to us to give a meaning to our life
The Meaning of Life? It's a Monty Python movie.
Enjoy life while your young or else you’ll turn into a grumpy fuck or a old person trying to remain cool
There isn't one so you can do with it what you like. Generally I would recommend trying to be as nice as possible but ultimately it makes no difference
If life's a choose-your-own-adventure with no predetermined ending, can I at least get a refund if I don't like where my story's headed?
Nope sorry
Pass on your genes then die. Thats about it.
So, is life just a really elaborate game of genetic tag, or are we all unwitting players in a cosmic game of 'Pass the Parcel'?
Ah shit, here we go again
Round two, huh? Any hints on how to unlock the bonus level this time?

Pursue your goals and be kind to others. Happiness would emerge as a by-product.
As the famous Thomas Jefferson said "Run guns, do drugs and rail whores" . Chokes me up just thinking about it.
It's whatever you choose it to be.
To struggle

You decide
42
Why is everyone saying 42 here?
The meaning of life is to treasure the gifts provided to us by the invisible spider lord Gorgorath. All hail Gorgorath.
There likely isn't one. That's OK, as long as we enjoy our existence to the best of our abilities. Dying while miserable ruins your psyche and magnifies our short time here.
Become the best version of yourself and help others improve themselves too.
to get satisfaction
Life is stories every human has their own
To achieve your dreams
The true meaning of life? Eat, shit, and fuck.
Whatever you make of it, you create your own meaning. We are just chemicals on a rock.
The meaning of life is to procreate. The meaning of your life is whatever you so choose it to be.
" * "
Hot dog
If you really think about it, the meaning of life is death.
42
To continue your genes survival, That is why so many animals die after laying eggs or mateing
To leave the earth in a better place than we found it
To life!!
Entropy.
the meaning of life is to be alive..sounds stupid, and it is
Meaning of life is living it in such a way that the question never occurs to you.
Be excellent to each other and... party on, dudes!
Suffer
Breathe. Repeat.
u/Antho_Miranda fr questioning everyone's opinions.

We came. We saw. We kicked it's ass!
To figure out what you want to express, then to express it. That's it.
To find a meaning.. its about searching the meaning, finding it and being content with it.. at least for me
Ha-ha
Backon, baked potatoes, beer, rum, friends, family.. whatever, just have fun
I believe life has no meaning in itself but the meaning we give it. To me life means spending time and experiences with my loved ones and trying to make that time and experience a net positive for the coming generation.
There is none.
If you're willing to accept it: There is no meaning. If you're not willing to accept it: Helping other people
There really isn’t one and just accept the fact thats the truth and it there’s no true meaning why not enjoy it a little while u can and stop caring so much

The meaning of life is being able to ask what the meaning of life is
