What is the meaning of life? Some people say that it is family, others think we just live to die. The way I look at it is that we live to die but you might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts. I was sitting here wondering about life and I decided to ask these questions, how do you live your life? What are things that make you get up in the morning? Who inspires you? How are things created? Just in general, how and why is life worth living? Lots of people believe in religion and that itself keeps people going everyday, what about the ones that don't. There are so many young people ending their lives because things get a bit hard and in most cases because it is getting way to hard to handle.I think these people need to hear about other people's stories and maybe they will find a way to go on with their day and it might even put a smile on their face. So if you have an opinion on "life" or just want to share about your life, goals, reasons. Please just write and let people know how good life can be.

The real meaning of life is to enjoy, help others and keep smiling but i don't know how to be like this. Life is interesting to live when we really knows and use it well useful. We all know about life but don't know how to be happy, What to do, What not to do, We everybody always look on for money, somebody earns it in good way and somebody earns it in unusual way cheating others. Life is beautiful, we have beautiful places in the earth to visit, to see, to have, to achieve,to live and to fulfill. Have a wonderful life.

The meaning of life for me is God, because he is a creator and he who gives us life,then he gave his own life to us for the payment of our sins and to get rid to sin, second is our family that all of the circumstances all of them are their to support you, an the third is your friends who revel to you the true meaning of friendship.

In my opinion life can be as good as one can think of it.It is the thoughts that limit our happiness once we realise our energy of thoughts we can make our destiny as we want. Hope everyone will believe in this and start working for a happier life.

Defining life will be hard as different people view life differently and life is not as easy as we think others are having. Everyone has hardships in life and how he learns from it and how he tackles the situation the he comes across everyday makes a difference in life. We learn from experience and how we take things matters a lot, positive viewers tends to have an easier life than others. Sometimes smooth and sometimes rough but we need to grab something from all of it so that we can face the situation in a prepared way when we meet such situation next time.

life looks so meaningless sometimes and at times it is filled with several meanings and looks beautiful, when you watch some ugly pictures of people being maimed or killed, then life will look so terrible and sometimes when you see beautiful scenes, life will look good , no matter what life will look good when you can bring the best out of it

I think the meaning of life to enjoy every creation that God has made .Its just my own point of view that God created so many beautiful things and nature but he also wanted a living thing who can admire all his creations and use them . He made our life come in to life and we started experiencing all things around us . Its sad that in todays world we think money and success is everything but its not true . If we will spend our whole life running after money then we will miss most precious moments of our life . Our school days and youth life , every stage got its own meaning and essence of life in it . We should never try to run ahead of time but should walk with it . Work and status is required to stand out of crowd and make our name to live even after we die . But we get this life only once and if we close our eyes forever we should take us good thoughts with us .

I was brought up to believe that when you are born "your book is written". I have understood this to be that every person has a meaning to there life different from the other person. When you have filled your destiny, that is when you are taken from this world.

I believe life is for living. But living is for making someone happy. I live my life to keep other people happy, chear people up and listen to other peoples problems. This is partly why i love being a dj so much. Making all the people on the dance floor get up, sing, dance and just enjoy themselves. It really is the best feeling ever when someone says 'thank you, you have really cheered me up' or something similar. But best of all, I love to see my girlfriend smile! :-)

I am very very unhappy today!My cellphone was stolen this moring just on my way to the classroom.What can i do?I phoned him ,but just unavailable.Then,I sent some messagers to the cellphone,I hope,him would see it and change his mind,return it to me.But it didn't work. So ,i have to give up and try to forget this terrible thing. Life sometime like that.Sometimes when we face the problem we couldn't solve,maybe the best way is give up and forget it.Otherwise,we will unhappy all the time.SO ,we should learn to forget in some case to make myself happier!
