      42 ❗

      Or maybe just to live a happy and productive life, and to do your best to enrich the lives of those around you.

      What would you like your life to mean? One of the great things about being a thinking human being is that you get to decide this for yourself!
      If you’re referring to all life in the Universe, I’m not sure there needs to be a ‘meaning’ but if there is one I certainly don’t know what it is!

      The biological purpose of ‘life’ appears to be to propagate one’s genes by reproducing.

      We humans have the self-awareness to live fuller lives than that. So I think we should define the meaning of life as ‘Always striving to be the best person you can be.’ I think if you do that you can say you’ve lived a full life.

      First, if you missed the 42 joke from David I’d really reccomend you read the Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy. Fantastic Book.

      Being the best human you can, for whatever reason you hold as important. Living a full happy life with as few regrets as possible.
