Strange, philosophy forum without this giant question mark. Anyone with an answer to this question please post it here. This is one question that no genius has been able to answer. Still searching...

Meaning of life? To survive, to continue life, and to enjoy it. 
Concrete is heavy; iron is hard--but the grass will prevail.

"What is the meaning of human life, or, for that matter of any creature? To know an answer to this question means to be religious. You ask: Does it make any sense, then to pose this question? I answer: The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life."

The question meant here ought I think to be 'what is the purpose of life?'
 
As the question is posed, I agree with Zaitsev, and the Princeton dictionary.

I think there are several flaws in this question here. Apart from presuming life has a meaning (a very human concept) for something much more than human, it presumes there is only one meaning and it must be the same for everyone.
 
Personally I think we each have our own meaning. I have a friend who's meaning of life is to have sex with as many different girls as possible during his time on earth. Myself sadly unable to adopt my friends reason (through no want of trying) have resigned myself to attempting to break every rule ever conceived by the human mind. Ror me that's the meaning of life, but not necessariy for anyone else.

It's impossible for one to say because it is different for each person.  You have to look inward for the answer.

The meaning of life?

To make your own.

Nothing esle can do that-nothing else in existence besides life can make a CHOICE of what to live for. it isn't to survive, so much, or to be a good person, even-it's to have the choice to decide that your meaning of life is spoons. or gerbil-catching. or being a meaningful artist. or anything else.

Life's a piece of sh*t,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
