What is The Meaning of Life?

Because the op asks everyone, it can't be authoritatively answered. He mostly question it as a human experience, not a pure biological one as a specie into a subdivision of life. We bath into phenomenologia here, good luck to find a verity in such intelectual process here ! 🙂 ! It's an aporia... or a troll thinking ,said in modern language. It makes good evenings around good discussions but drive to nowhere.
 
There is no meaning to life, so you have to find your own meaning, but you may not control what meaning your life has; let's take french officer Arnaud Beltrame as an example. It seems that he just wanted to serve his country, as his meaning to life, however when he knowingly sacrificed his own life to save the life of a stranger, that surely gave a far more profound meaning to his life that he never expected, but then further to this, his example of self sacrifice can be an example and inspiration to many others the world over, having a positive effect on many lives.
A true hero.
Our meaning in life might be to inspire others (possibly without us knowing), it could be rasing children (although that looks ##### hard work), or advancing society, there is no standard meaning to life, so it's up to us to find our own.
 
I heard an interesting take that stuck with me on the search for meaning. Naval Ravikant said thank goodness you are not assigned a meaning for your life at birth, for from then on you would be a slave to that assigned meaning. Instead you are free to interpret meaning in your own life as you choose. Which would you rather have?

It appears the op's question was directed to each personally, not generally. What is the meaning of life..for you.
 
For as this forum: The meaning of life is to build the biggest wall of sound possible before one dies or goes senile. I got kicked into the garage a few years back because my wife and kids didn't like the volume or choice of music.

If we all had amplifiers with no degeneration we might keep the World from final entropy just a little bit longer.
 
'meaning' is a concept that does not exist beyond human existance. Meaning is something we conceived ourselves. Whatever it really means to oneself, is reveiled when ones life ends. It is deeply private and universal at the same time.

But for me for now: buidling and leaving behind some nice music magnifiers!

There is no intricate "meaning" to it. For 300k years it was a bare survival and now we are in a decadent era and since the advances of medicine we tend to live to Metusaleh age and we mostly bum around bored to death there is the need to fill up that time with " meaning ". Thankfully it's only a folly of a " smart " people , who are usually destined to Hell anyway. Idiots have no such problems and live happily ever after in this and afterworld

I can remember a teacher at school telling us a story about when people were told when they were going to die, (but that meant that some people didn't sew their fields if they were going to die next year, so god stopped telling them).

Imagine counting down the days, if you had many years ahead you might procrastinate and do nothing with your life, if you had a short time you might just give up. Somethings are best not known.
