Meaning of Life

I saw this statement today.

Quote:
Christians and other religions consider the meaning of life to be death.

Do you agree?

Christianity, Islam and Buddhism are all very much focused on what follows this life, heaven, paradise and nirvana. Judaism not so. Judaism is much more "secular" or focused on the here and now.

And here I've been thinking all along that the meaning of life was "42"...

I'd say that this sounds more like NA belief in some ways than it does like Christian belief. By that, I mean that NA belief is that death leads to life; part of the eternal cycle.

"To teach is to learn, To learn is to work
To work is to serve, To serve is to love
To love is to sacrifice, To sacrifice is to die
To die is to live, To live is to strive
To strive is to rise above all earthly limitations
And enter the eternal realms."

I personally find no "meaning" in life. I can see how certain purposes, and reasons can be found within the act of living. But I still do not find "meaning" in life.

There's no meaning in life, the way i see it — but there is a purpose.
