the meaning of life is to comprehend your meaning in and of life.
the meaning of life itself is not as important as the fact that the meaning of life drives life itself.
you can make all the goddamn money and work your ass off all you want, but if its got no context (ie, survival, worrking for the betterment of things, raising children, enjoying what you do) then living life is kinda a waste of time.

the meaning of life changes for me every now and then, but for about a year and half, it's been trying to expand my mind to the greatest lengths it could reach.

The meaning of life is to become self-actualized and live from that true part of you; what naturally follows is that you and everyone you come in contact with will reap the benefits

According to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" the answer is 42... now we just need to question. Maybe the question is "what is the meaning of life?", but that wouldn't make much sense would it?

I think happiness sums it up. Everything comes back to me or you being happy or at least satisfied with life in the end. If "life" in general means anything, I don't know. I doubt it. Life just is.

We couldn't possibly know the answer to this even if it had one. Here's a question that might have an answer: what do you want the most in life?
For me: authenticity.

Authenticity to me means living life true'on your own terms - of course, that implies that u actually know what your own true terms are- not the shit that piled up in your head that u don't even realize is not your true self-The 1st challenge is to sort through what is and isn't true to yourself in the way you are living your life- next comes the courage to act upon that insight
