if meaning of life refers to the purpose of life, i hold it to this:

-creating something to pass on as an expression of yourself, pretty open-ended. in the form of art, which itself is open-ended, children, etc.
-being courageous, and having wisdom: know what is "good" and "bad"; moderation of everything, including moderation; practicing selflessness as well as selfishness
-and trying to learn as much about eveyrthing as possible.

i think everyone lives by at least one of these one way or another, maybe without knowing it
