meaning of life is to find your place in the universe.. the universe is a giant connection with everything influencing everything else creating like a web but also at the same time like a domino effect were 1 event triggers off the rest and so on and so forth as long as time exists. some peoples place is to influence someone else in way that benefits or hinders society. others its just to have a child who may one day benefit or hinder society.

Meaning of life...
I've always wondered what they meant here by "life". Just my life? Or life in general? And if it's the latter, does that mean ALL life, or just intelligent life, or just human life? And where is the line drawn between life and mere complex chemistry? I'm made entirely from non-living materials that can be found everywhere in the universe, and are its most common elements, so what makes me alive?
The word "meaning" in this case indicates a purpose. Something that suggests life is here with a goal in mind. If this is true then something or someone must have wanted life to happen (and basing on what we define "life" by in this question in the previous paragraph, the rest of what you're going to read can vary in significance).
But if this is true then it took them a bloody long time to make it considering the age of the universe, which would make this "wanter of life" extremely procrastinative/lazy/inefficient. So for lack of a better reason for life to exist, all we can deduce is that it is a logical step to happen from simple chemistry to complex chemistry to simple life to relatively complex life such as us humans.
Does this mean it has a purpose? It doesn't, no more than the universe itself or a single electron has a purpose... So the question is moot.
