    Yes, it took a turn. I'm guilty, however you must keep in mind to many people the "Meaning of life" is their family. to many of us life wouldn't have much meaning with out them. The question as to what is the "meaning of Life" can take on many variations, "Einstein's" can put one slant on the definition but I think to the common person the "Meaning of life" is what many have suggested, building good memories with family, friends, kids, loved ones. I remember doing things with my Grandfather (who is long gone) creating those memories which I'll never forget, was his (without his realizing it) "Meaning of life" again sorry for the wrong turn

    Spending time with my mom, dad and 7 other siblings and my girlfriend. Getting back to work (stage 3 cancer) so I can help people as a paramedic firefighter. My dad is in critical condition at the moment after going into cardiac arrest a month ago and with me dealing with my cancer with one of my sister’s just being diagnosed with cancer as well it’s been a really rough year but my dad taught me to be a man of faith. So with my faith and support from friends, family, strangers, Ive been taking life one day at a time praying my dad gets better so once I’m better we can build many more beautiful memories, I still need him very much in my life.

    It’s all relevant, makes me realize that all those “problems” I had before weren’t really big deals. God bless brother. Thank you.

    Meaning of life is a very subjective topic.

    For me it’s all about making good memories with family and friends, investing in yourself thru new experiences and constantly challenging myself no matter how insignificant. Try to learn something new everyday, life is always progressing and being stagnate equates to death.

    everyone has their own opinion. Would I want to die tomorrow? Not a chance...sure there are bad things I could do with out but what makes me so special that I wont have hardships? Nothing. Ive had hardships and will have more in the future. Its how you handle them and what you do after a hardship thats important. My biggest hardship was the loss of my mom, but now shes been gone longer than I knew her. I often think of what she would have said about my life after her death but thats part of life. Sure people want to pass on their genes and see their bloodline grow but for some thats not possible or not what that individual wants. That doesnt make him less of a man, just how things pan out. Ive got too many fish to catch, and too many game animals to shoot to think about the meaning of life...;)Best line of the movie Shawshank Redemption "Get busy living or get busy dying"
