The meaning of life!

Earth is the only planet on which life exists. There should not be questions to ask why there are human beings, animals or plants as we have just existed and have been on this planet for more than twenty thousand years. So have those other living things. Instead,there might be questions on the meaning of our lives.

"The meaning of life" is no longer a new question but it still draws different answers from different people.I wonder ,since ' the big bang' created the universe,the Sun ,the Earth and everything , shouldn't we just take our life for granted?

We are the most intellectual and special species on this planet. We possess a few capabilities which don't belong to any other species. Thank the Gob for giving us all these abilities which make us so intelligent, creative ,powerful and even emotional.What we are having today are all due to these capabilities and thus we have the chance to ask about or talk about the meaning of life.

Morally, I think we should thank our parents for giving us life ,letting us see such a fabulous world. However, in term of science, it is undeniable that our births are nothing but the natural law which we have to obey in order to live. In certain sense, I do think reproduction is the primary meaning of our lives--living for existence.

As we grow up, we will learn how to use our special capabilities in our life. We keep learning, researching and creating. Meanwhile, we also make friends around us and start to build up all kinds of relationships with prople. At this stage, we have been actually not only living for existence. Have we wondered why there are nations, societies, occupations and so on; why we play sport games and go to theatre,cinema and concert? Why is life becoming more and more complicated and wonderful ?Why do we need to have such lives which are full of happiness and sadness?

I think this is due to our secondary meaning of life--living for better life.

Can this secondary meaning of life explain why there are inventions, leagues and wars? Why we want to earn as more money as we can? Isn't it because we want to live a better life? Nevertheless, neither the primary meaning of life nor the secondary meaning of life are unique to different people. In my oponion, the unique meaning of life will only appear in the company of emotions.We all loves our life and never want to lose it. But why those heros we read or heard could sacrifice their life in the battle field without the slightest hesitation? Didn't they treasure their life? I guess the only reason was that they were only dominated by emotion at that moment rather than sense.

That's just it--the meaning of life is what you could do for others. As an ordinary people, my meaning of life is to light up others' life. I don't care whether I've brought them happiness or disasters,or whether they like me. I mean I do make their lives more wonderful and meaningful even though I played a bad role sometimes. Most importantly, I am a part of their life. But my life will be more meaningful if I could play a positive charecter in this stage of life. I appreciate every minute i spent with my families and friends. People also appreciate me when I do them favours. Every smiling face and short instant of happy and satisfaction from others impress me very much. I just could be satisfied from these trivial things. I will be thinking my life is just meaningful when i see my parents smiling at me happily ,my lover smiling at me sweetly and my friends smiling at me enjoyably.

That "living for happiness" is my ultimate and real meaning of life. So do you?
