This question was on a Philosophy exam once (I wasn't part of it, I just heard the story). 99% of the candidates wrote long winded essays saying to inspire people, to contribute to the economy, to make people's lives better, etc etc etc. These all got grades C-E.
One guy wrote 'I don't know', walked out...and got an A*.
Just thought I'd share that story :)
And as for me personally...I think everyone's life has a different meaning, so no-one can truly answer that question. I guess, in it's most basic form, the meaning of life is to live.
Blessed Be,
