One thing i would just like to say is that to first say the meaning of life, one would first have to define it... You can't very well provide a definition without understanding what's being asked, can you? A rock exists and may very well serve a purpose, but it has no life. This means that "life" is more than the act of sheer existence. For another thing, when people often to refer to life, or specifically to their life, they often refer to society and the giudelines for living that society poses. Perhaps it isn't my place to say this since I'm young, but this is my view.
