Forget about the meaning of life. It's a stupid question. Just find out what you want and what the truth is in everything. Then you will also know who you are and you will be truly living.

There is no meaning to life.

Anything you define or attribute to being the meaning of life is only true to you and is completely arbitrary in nature.

When I was 20, most of my friends knew exactly what they wanted to do career-wise. Ten years later, most have made major career changes at least once. It can be a big psychological hit to realize that the career you've put so much effort and planning into isn't going to work out (or that you don't like it). So it might not be a bad idea to build some flexibility into any plans you make at age 20.

The meaning of life? The economists have it right, the meaning of life is utility maximization.

As for figuring out what you want to do with your life, you're better off being lost then being a pastor.

I fully agree, but I thought that it would be better for this thread to be more open-ended, with people describing what they seek out of life, and what they believe life entails, rather than have people quipping in with the standard 'there is no meaning of life' bit, no matter how true it is.

I think it's important to come to terms with what kind of person you are. If you want to achive great things, you need to start right now. Becoming an expert/master at anything is hard work and dedication. If thats the case I would think it the most worthwhile to investigate a few topics you might like and decide on one of them.

If you're ok with being an "average joe," I think diversity is the key. Inverstigate a wide range of subjects, experiences and impressions (It can be anything from Uni. subject to drugs, volunteering or travelling the world).

I think reading a lot might help to push you on the right path.

You don't need to have some silly so called "meaning" in your life to enjoy it. You have your life now so stop worrying about such things and just have a blast.

How can it be better to be lost than to follow what makes you happy?

Adults ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, because they're looking for ideas.

Settle down and have a few kids, your life will quickly develop purpose. even if it still lacks meaning.

There is only one meaning in life: To past the genes.

Lol a Pastor wow xD

But yeah, im kinda in the same boat as you kinda. In terms of job sense i have no idea what i wanted to do or want to do now, i have had 3 jobs in my lifetime and i have been good at all of them (KFC Manager - Office Admin - Office Junior). I still don't know if i will be doing this for the rest of my life but i know one thing i need a job to have money to do my leisure activites i enjoy (play games/drink/go to football matches etc)

So all in all, the only advice i can give is, get a job, any job so you can fund your lesiure activities and continue to do everything you can to make yourself happy, thats the meaning of life to me. Making YOURSELF happy.

If you truly look around you, you will find there is an uncanny consistency to existence. The world, the universe is not a mystery, it is a series of irrefutable truths that reoccur time and time again. Look at human history and culture- love, fear, pain, suffering, death, birth, sex, truth, meaning, family, power- the same forces have persisted for as long as we have existed.

This is Life.

The Meaning of life, is to choose which of these forces you want to fight/embrance and to understand precisely why you have chosen to do so.

And in this cauldron of ubiquitous struggle lifetimes go by, and lifetimes are celebrated for how well you have done the above.

Should there be a meaning to life ?

"What's the meaning of life" seems to me like a very ...human question. ^^

I don't think that nature has something like a purpose, a reason or a meaning.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that subjectivity is the same as arbitrariness or meaninglessness.

Something can be subjective, meaningful, and non-arbitrary. The meaning of one's life is such a thing.

I'm reading Atlas Shrugged, and that philosophy is presented. It's interesting, but depressing. Having something to live for and give you meaning seems a whole lot more motivating and meaningful.

I like to think the meaning of life is to be happy. Simple as that.

To me it's clear that the purpose of life is to experience life in order to get experience, rise your consciousness and be ready for the next plane at the time you "die".

Physical world is a playground like a school, instead there is no teacher, you are the teacher. Up to you.

There really isn't any meaning to life. We wake up every morning, go do our 8-10 hours shift, come back home, eat, sleep. Rinse, repeat.
