People keep asking in person and in literature "what is the meaning of life" so I've dedicated the past five minutes to the question, applying my rule that I'm a genius and can do this sort of thing elegantly and in a short space of time.
First, one must understand the question, so apply the question to something banal and terrestrial. "What is the meaning of chair?" It's a non statement. It almost disproves the validity of the question. So say we take the spirit the question was intended in and rephrase. "What is a chair for?" A chair is for sitting on.
Secondly, we'll apply our meaningful question to the original problem. "What is life for?" There are only three things you can do with it. Create it, destroy it, or live it. You can't create your own, and destroying it seems innately bad, so I'll conclude in good spirits that life is for living.
Thirdly, you're going to want to do something useful with this information, so make sure that when you're living, you're living well. If you're having trouble, use analogies, like a fan, a chair and a football.
Stay cool, be comfortable, have fun.
