THE MEANING OF LIFE (or the lack of it)
There are two standard meanings to life.
- live to help other people and make their lives better.
- live to bring new life into society, to teach them all you know so they may 'continue where you left off' (ie to evolve)
You may notice a slight floor in both of the above reasons, and that is - if life did not exist neither would the need for life. Or in other words life is only justified by other life and if there was a point in time where life did not exist, then there would be no point in creating life in the first place.
Confused? Good.

An analogy
Last weekend I was delighted to find someone decorating the floor by my front door with a colourful information leaflet. The leaflet was an advert for a company opening up for business around my area wanting to employ people to...da de de da de de dah....deliver leaflets!?!? Immediately I wondered 'Who, then, delivered this leaflet?' - maybe someone hired thanks to a leaflet posted for the same ad. a few weeks back.
Of course it would be insane to open a leaflet delivering company that only delivers leaflets about itself - but, in essence, that is lifes purpose.
