Hey, Well I can't really answer this directly, but I think that life is all about trying to live it the best way you possibly can. Also, I really feel the need to help some poor people around the world, because they can't even afford food. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I have to say that being successful is low on my list to the meaning of life and it is not that I am not successful because I am. But I believe that there is so much more to life than all of the material things. Life is a learning process. I learn something new everyday about life. How you handle situations and what you learn from them is most important. Growing Growing Growing from the heart and mind is the most important to me in my life. Plus living life passionately. Loving, accepting, and respect for all that is what life is all about and sharing it with others.

Hi fruitcake, The true meaning of life is something that people have been seeking for centuries, but I agree there is more to life than being successful. People have different thoughts about life but I feel that it is to be happy, no matter what their situation in life. Enjoy life and help others enjoy it as well. Blessings.

So many people get caught up in what they have, what they do not have. Where they have to be, where they have to go and impressing their neighbors, They get so caught up in things and in doing that they forget to live their life and enjoy life. Being successful is great, but if you are successful and have no love, and family in your life then what do you have...

Life is what God given us in order to live, multiply,learn and relate with others. This is the way what we choose to whether a straight way and a crooked way. You were given a chance by the Lord to choose which is best for you today. The life you have now is what you wish to fulfill someday so go with it and enjoy it while still you have breath today.

Exactly. Can't agree with you more. Education is only making us slaves! I am not trying to sound like a rebel but it's mass hypnosis. If you analyze life carefully, we are taught to make money all the time. Happiness or tranquility come second, it's always money that matters first in this insane, materialistic world! But sadly, you can't shun everything and lead a nomadic life. We need to practical as well! In novels the idea of an unconventional life may sound attractive, but in real life, it's really tough!
