[quote=APAULT,249938]Life is what you make it.  You can be mean and self centred or pleasant and helpful...or like most of us, somewhere in betwen.  You can believe in your preferred god and an afterlife or you might not believe in anything spiritual at all.  If you have beliefs, a meaningful life is living to a morality largely set by others.  If you have no beliefs, you might believe (haha) that life has no meaning, so you cannot have a meaningful life, or you might set your own goals and values and your life will be meaningful if you live within them.  Thus, a meaningful life can be different for each of us, or it may have no meaning at all.  Another person's meaningful life might be meaningless to me, and vice versa.

Personally I don't subscribe to the idea of a meaningful life, but I do have my ideas of morality which I try to live to.  If I help others I believe I am making good use of my life, and some people will be remembered for what that have achived,  but I don't believe any of these things makes a life meaningful.

So I am happy enough with Griz's not so trivial position (HEY that's a first), and to Iceblue I say thatthere are loftier matters if you choose to make them important - that is your choice.  Sadly, I'm not sure I'm going to end my life with someone I love - ah sh.t, not everything works out!)
