Meaning of Life

Is the meaning of life to find happiness?

Perhaps. But does one need to find happiness, or is it enough just to be happy when and where one is?

Is the meaning of life to find happiness?

I think that a tenet of life is to be happy and find happiness. Is that the meaning? Who knows? I would certainly like to believe that the meaning of my life is to find happiness in myself and others.

I think it's ok for it to be an open-ended question. The answer today likely won't be the same answer tomorrow. Best to be flexible.

"Be water, my friend!"

Well said, my friend!!

Consider this seconded!

Saw a saying the other day that read "the purpose of life is living a life of purpose."

I am not saying I agree or disagree, just passing it along.

I think that's a good point.

Jim Carrey thinks that the meaning of life is to "love yourself."

Let's discuss it.

Not sure there's only one single meaning, and I think it varies for each  human too. 

Do whatever makes you happy, just live with your own philosophy

Maybe I suggest a book?
