Here it is, the Big Question that everybody has been arguing about since forever.

What is the meaning of life?

Here are a couple theories to get you thinking:
-to reproduce
-to evolve
-to eat or be eaten
-to live life to the fullest
-to pursue your dreams
-to make others happy
-to make yourself happy
-to love
-family and friends

My opinions:
If I were looking for an answer in a more scientific point of view, I would say the meaning of life would be to evolve, because the reason animals reproduce is to evolve anyways through the process of natural selection. Of course, there's also the more spiritual side of this argument, in which case I would probably say that the meaning of life would be to live life to the fullest (which I guess includes spreading happiness, loving your friends and family, and pursuing your dreams already...). It really just depends on what kind of person you are. I wouldn't say that the meaning of life is to just solely pursue your dream, because in many cases people don't reach their goals and dreams. Besides, there are also other living creatures to consider. Many animals aren't capable of feeling emotion, so happiness and love wouldn't really matter to them. But to an animal, living life to the fullest may be just to eat, sleep, reproduce, survive, etc (so as you can see, "living life to the fullest" can have many meanings).

You don't have to choose just from the above list. Those were just a few ideas to get your started. You are entitled to your own opinion. Just remember that when stating your opinion, please specify why you think that way. This is in the debates section for a reason.

Discuss.

Depends entirely on the individual and their paths.

I don't think there is 'one meaning to life'. There are several and unique ones depending on the paths that people take in their lives. That's what I think the meaning of life is.

I believe there is a cause and effect motion around us 24/7, so whatever we do affects our future and our meaning to life. -shrug-

Adding onto this, going with everything. Watching the causes and effects unravel. Unravelling you. I do believe that the people we meet were destined to meet us. Whether it be a loved one or someone you love but then you move on.

Living life to the full (as corny as it is) is another thing I think the meaning of life is. Just enjoying everything. Not looking back and not worrying about the present day. If things will happen then they will happen. Sometimes it's up to you to make it happen or not make it happen. The opportunity is there, but it's up to you as to whether you decide to take the opportunity or not take it. Once again, cause and effect.

Our life is in our own hands through our own choices and decisions. Sometimes the road will become damaged, curved and intertwine with other peoples' paths. The main thing is to just let it happen. When we reach the light at the end of the road I'm sure we can all say "We had a pretty good life"

I think the meaning of life is to understand that it doesn't last forever and so one must do all the good deeds one can.

But that is for a species that has or can have morals.
