        Ha. A toughie indeed. I think that is a personal question for everyone to answer themselves. For me it is to be happy and experience things and use this body and mind I have in a the best way possible. I suppose having children is an obvious thing ‘we are supposed’ to do biologically.

        Dang, Nikki beat me to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Answer_to_the_Ultimate_Question_of_Life.2C_the_Universe.2C_and_Everything_.2842.29

        Andy’s got some great answers. If I’m thinking with a cold heart, it’s “to reproduce and use things up”. If I’m thinking like me, it’s “to leave the world in a better place”.

        Hi!

        Nobody knows. Religions, philosophers, everyone will give you their opinion and it’s up to you to decide if you agree or not.

        Right now, I feel we don’t have enough information to explain the meaning of life.
        It’s like we are in an house with a lot of small windows and we can get a glimpse of the landscape and describe it based on the little we see, but everyone is looking from a different window. In order to see the landscape properly we should go outside or even better fly over it with a plane.
        So probably in order to understand the meaning of life we should look at life from outside time and space, will it ever be possible? Maybe.

        Sorry I went too philosophical!

        Jess.
