The meaning to life dose not have just one answer:
For the religious types the meaning to life is simply worshiping their religions gods until death.

For Goths, EMO', and War veterans the meaning to life is simply death, though such a belief is argumentative and kind of obvious.

To a squirrel/man the meaning to life is knowing yourself; coming to terms and accepting your faults and your talents and then eventually waiting for death.

For me I suppose  I agree with foamy the most; for others however the out come of knowing one's self will of course vary but if you desire to know more about yourself; i suggest you figure out by the date of birth what Chinese year of the (animal) you were born.
