Life The Great Mystery!
"...life in itself has no meaning, for its purpose is an opportunity to create that meaning."
"Life is in itself a mystery. During our life we find out why life was created."
The greatest question in life is "What is the meaning of life?" it is a question many people ask themselves at some point during their lives, most in the context "What is the purpose of life?" In this lense I hope to point out the three major aspects of people who ask this question and what I believe. I also have a Plexo dedicated to others who wish to add there own idea of the meaning of life. I ask that If you do decide to post do not make it short.
Religous Powers
God - Divine - Supernatural
According to religous views life is seen as the time you spend a creating a true relationship with a higher order "God", procreate so that the religon last generation after generation, Love Your Creator and Fellow Man as you love yourself, to worship your creator and obey what he says and finally to enjoy life!Your created by a divine being and with the everything you have must embrace and love your creator for creating you. Having a relation with your creator does not just make you another creation but one that shows thanks and happiness.
To create new life is part of that purpose of life. We need to create new life because, we are always living and need to live on. Its our species mission to move on and be better. Evolving via Enlightenment thru Process.
God created you and everyone that is human. Its your job to love god and to love what he created that includes your fellow man. This teaches virtue to you and every person.
God created you and part of the relationship mention above is to worship God. God demands that you obey his law over any other because, his law is divine and when your judge on the day of judgement he will say to you "have you lived life according to my wishes?" This teaches use the Golden Rule.
Finally, to live life in order to have fun. Allieveting the boredom of eternity. Life is a rollercoaster and eternity is the ground below that rollercoaster. Eternity is flat with nothing happening however, the rollercoaster is filled with ups and downs. By enjoying life in accordance with God and being grateful for which you have and work hard to what you want is all God asks of you when it comes to living the fun and adveneterous aspect of life.

Philosophical View of Life
Top 3 Views from the Philosophers
Nihilistic views on life are that of despair that life is to be enjoyed because, eventually when we die it is all over. Nihilist believers feel that Christianity took away the value of earthly life and replaced it with "a supposed afterlife." Therefore life is meant to be enjoyed on your terms and not on terms of a divine beings.Pragmatic view on life believes we should search for a useful understanding of life. "The meaning of life is those purposes which cause you to value it." Lifes purpose is to experience it.
Existentialist view on life is that it is indifferent and its up to the individual to create his or her own values throughtout lifes experiences. Life is irration, painful and not to mention aimless. However salvation is possible through aesthetic contemplation, sympathy for others, and asceticism or the practice of avoiding worldly pleasures. Those who practice ascetic lifestyles often perceive their practices as virtuous and pursue them to achieve greater spirituality.

My View
Life is a funny thing
Life should have some constriction. Live is a special thing because, you only live once. This view can both be supported by philosophers and religous believers and therefore can be agreed on. I believe life is dualistic and there are multiple paths you can take though life. I believe in destiny and that we are destined to do great things or terrible things, these destinations are absolute however, its the journey that alters where we choose to go. I believe in a "heaven/paradise" and I believe in a "hell." based on the absolute that you reach determines where you shall belong. Different Belief on Life?
