That's one of humanity's oldest questions, and there's no single answer—it varies by perspective:

**Philosophical views:**
- Creating your own meaning through choices and actions
- Seeking happiness, fulfillment, or self-actualization
- Contributing to something beyond yourself

**Religious perspectives:**
- Serving a higher purpose or divine plan
- Spiritual growth and connection

**Practical approaches:**
- Building relationships and community
- Pursuing work or creativity that matters to you
- Reducing suffering (yours and others')
- Experiencing beauty, learning, growth

**Scientific angle:**
- From biology: survival and reproduction
- From physics: no inherent meaning—we're part of an indifferent universe

What resonates often depends on your values, experiences, and what you find meaningful. Many people find meaning isn't one grand answer, but emerges from what they care about day-to-day.

What aspects of this question interest you most? Are you exploring this philosophically, spiritually, or grappling with it personally?
