Consciousness is the word you're looking for perhaps?

Life by its self is meaningless, like an empty canvas. It's what you do with it that makes it meaningful. Others will try to tell you how to live, like someone telling you what to paint. We all have to find meaning in our own lives and try not to fuck up along the way.

Life has no meaning unless you give it one yourself.

I have a few ideas:

  • My opinion is that life is just a thought experiment for a single consciousness to experience itself and to know itself better. So life is to satiate our own collective curiosity about who "we" are and to better understand our own psyche.

  • I feel there are no inherent rules to life, so it really is what you make of it. Like others have said, you designate meaning to your life, or you don't, it is all up to you.

  • To progress; where or for what reason, I am not sure, change and progression just seems to be one of a few constants in life. My own theory is that we are supposed to remember that we are all products of our own consciousness (some call it the Big Bang) and that the material world is illusory and a theater production we all have a role in whether consciously or unconsciously.

Just my.

It differs from person to person, but for me it's to do humany things like get a basic education, make friends, have a crush on somebody, have a pretty ok childhood, work some low paying low stress jobs, get a driver's license and drive around, spend time enjoying the company of family, experience the ecstasy of religion for a bit, do the college thing with dorm rooms and what not, have some fun with a girlfriend or boyfriend, travel around a bit, get a good paying job, find a life partner, buy a house, have and raise kids, become a grandparent, enjoy the company of family, do some hobbies, retire, get frustrated by a deteriorating body, learn to appreciate being young and healthy more than when you were young, try to live to forever but don't stress it too much because it's a tall task, and experience the ups and downs of life but have an overall ok life with quite a few enjoyable and pleasant experiences.

I just saw a video of the mechanisms within a cell from a youtube video linked in a comment from this site.

It made me think.

What is the meaning of life? Movement. Improvement. Evolution. To use this engine, this body, to improve and contribute to the growth of the collective of engines that it is a member of. If possible, to leave a new and improved copy of this body to keep the collective called humanity moving, improving, evolving.

I am so high...
