To understand the meaning of life, first, think of the most basic lifecycles, plant lifecycles. A flower's sole purpose in life is to grow, attract a bee for pollen, then let loose new seed to become new flowers. Now move on to a living creature, the moth. Though they are known for eating clothes, many are born without mouths. They spend their lives as caterpillars, they eat, grow, explore and then become moths. Then they spend the remainder of their lives reproducing. For fish, they are born, eat, grow, then reproduce. Based on the previous statement we can assume that the meaning of life is to reproduce. But if you jump to that conclusion you may miss out on the other meanings. While the flower moth and fish only care about the preservation of their species, humans are much more complex. To say that your life has the same goals and limits of that of a fish would be idiocy, have you so little faith in your own kind? Yes reproduction is important but it is only a small part of the greater goal of all human life. I have come to understand 4 meanings of life. Reproduction is only the first. The second is evolution. We are the superior species, can destroy the earth if we wanted. But we should always look for a way to better ourselves. To grow faster, stronger, smarter. (Continues in example)
Things like phones and TVs, they hinder not one but 2 of life's meanings. What's to gain from something that isn't real? Reality is where life is, do you honestly dislike this world so much that you must constantly distract yourself from it? You are defeating the 3rd meaning, to live life in its entirety. We all have but a single chance. If something goes wrong so be it. Alexander the great died in his 20s, but did he have anything to regret, NO! He had almost conquered what was considered the entire world. While these days warlords are nonexistent, you must find a way to feel accomplished. Which brings us to our 4th meaning: happiness. Why listen to a song that you don't like? Why go to a parade that you do not support? It is useless. Time is precious and our lives are short. The best we can do is be happy and live life to the fullest. That's The Meaning of Life

A deceptively easy philosophical question, and one of the two core concepts of existentialism, the other being our insignificance on the massive scale of the universe. The one answers the other: existence has no meaning. Meaning is a construct of our imaginations. It is inherently irrelevant to any philosophical discussion and should never be taken for a concrete fact. There you go. Jesus, guys, calm down now. It's not that hard.
Borb sneepington: Wow, this spaghetti is amazing! It's so good, it makes me wonder about the meaning of existence.
Fred: Don't kid yourself. The taste of spaghetti is no more than a side-effect of the chemical structure of your human brain. Existence is too big for any of us pathetic creatures to give a meaning. Anyone who thinks about such questions is only a mere animal just like the rest, telling themselves a half-hearted lie to make themselves feel more intelligent or more important, as a method to cope with the thought of their utter insignificance on the grand scale of the universe, as we are all no more than an infinitesimal specks lost of
In the cold dark emptiness of our lives.
Borb: Wow. That's deep.
Fred: No. Our pathetic ideals are incredibly shallow. We drag out our tiny lives to fulfill them while in reality we know nothing of the world except that what little early we do know will not save us from the inevitable release of death.
