text: This is not a scientific question-- there is no data that you can measure to quantify an answer to this question.  Its a philisophical/metaphysical inquiry.  A valuable inquiry, but still not a scientific inquiry.  \nMy philosphy: There is no meaning to life.-- but that life is meaningless doesn't mean anything.  The good news is that you get to choose what you want your life to mean-- you can make it up!  Figure out what inspires you and calls you to be fully alive.  And follow that.  \nThe meaning of life for me is to live-- and live fully, making a contribution to others-- causing this to be a world that I can be proud to live in.\nNow, I have no way of proving this, but if you find any of it valuable, use it-- if not, keep searching 'til you find the answer that works best for you.\nHave fun!
