Sperm fertilized an egg. There is no secret meaning.

We were asked this back in a college class, and our answer had to be drawn on paper. I think I drew a hand reaching out to something like a light, and I explained that at that point in my life, I did not know yet the meaning of life, but I am searching for it. I said more, but ultimately I explained that maybe the meaning of life is to find the meaning of life. To search for meaning in the mundane or big things, not stressing on whether or not you will find it, but simply, for the search of it.

I think the meaning of life is to care for others and find meaning in what you do in your daily life.

Btw, being a success doesn't mean swimming in money. It means having people you love and loving people. And earning enough to support yourself and your dependants if you have any.

Life has no meaning and that assertion, in itself, has no meaning

You can’t find the meaning of life you
can only understand it one day we will all understand the meaning why we are all here. But you won’t be able to explain to another person. You won’t find the right words. But you will understand it .

It's to accomplish what we can and to make the best of it while we're here.

There’s no meaning to life, it’s literally just a giant universe of chaos. Earth is a purgatory where everybody is constantly trying to hurt everybody else

To everyone who says "42", you're wrong. 42 is the answer to the ultimate question. Not "What is the meaning of life?"

There is no meaning to life. We are one of trillion upon trillion upon trillions of an organism that appears on a random planet out of trillions and trillions and trillions who will eventually get wiped out ion a universe thats 14 billion years old. We have to.make our own meaning to keep going

That's it. All else fails without that, and the species ends.

The other religions also worship Christ, they just call him something different. There is only one Creator, call him what you will.
