Having the personal responsibility for my own actions in a society and not a government law to tell me what kind of person I should be.
Religious laws are what you allow them to be. Being a faith believer and being religious are two different things. Do not be confused
Govs and Capitalism/Stalinism are what you allow them to be... Being a worldly citizen based in principles of solidarity and being a self-centred, consumerist, hoarding a-hole are 2 possibilities that depend entirely on your choices... Do not be a racist, homophobic, (fe)male chauvinist, xenophobic, religious fundamentalist, misanthrope - keep trying to become a decent, critically minded, thinking Human Being...
Kill a dictator and liberate the whole nation. Dicit ei Simon Petrus: „Domine, quo vadis?“ Respondit Iesus: „Quo vado, non potes me modo sequi, sequeris autem postea.“ Viva la revolución!
Meaning of live is to recognise that whenever I do blame others for something ..... the real reason IS within myself and only because I cannot take it I try to project the entire complex to outside and create the relation to an own defined group....generally 'THE OTHERS ARE'..... To look through this is real self-awareness.... try it The meaning of life is within you and reasoned there....nobody can take it away.
Yen, not always! Given the levels of systemic violence, the built in inequality, the rigged economy, the......... It can not be always!
I know what you mean, Gorski. And you are right. My previous post is not meant to say one should close the eyes and do nothing... I mean one's condition from where reasonable actions can start. One recognizes there is something wrong -without to blame- (and by that without to be biased and have created a 'group' where I can be superior to) and from that condition I do the 'right' things.... It's another perspective. Many people are wasting energy by blaming 'others' and do only count and point to what's seemingly wrong there, they are talking all the days about (many politicians)... They lose focus. Instead of keeping focus on the actual matter and to find a reasonable solution they in fact do not what to give up the illusionary separation and keep on blaming.
I would venture to add that helping those in need, or less fortunate than oneself, already adds a little meaning to life.

hey...try this one as an example of the Mind providing for anyone's needs[as seen, there are a fair few unusual ones within this] https://www.crystalinks.com/consciousness.html an idea might be to support ideas rather than tearing at them with synicism or invalid supposed witisisms. . if critic be thy name have decency, to offer something else other than being synical. unnecessary and nasty even if not. do better than that. we all gain that way.
Dear author of the topic. You posed this question 6+ years ago - "What is the meaning of life?", Many times the question have been answered, but so far You and no one else have told what you really want or wanted. That is, until now you have not explained what you meant when you wrote the word "Life". What it means, what is life, what at all lives and what doesn't live. So far, no one in the world has said, defined what this word exactly means. So, my question (including prayer) - please write down the meaning or definition of the word "Life" here. Only then can we begin to talk about the meaning of life if we know what "Life" is at all, what it means. Or is it time to end this mess here? This is really complete nonsense here.
I am a professional in the area, yes, unlike you or JP! "Spirit" in the sense of "Geist"/"Duh", as opposed to "emotional"/"dusa"...
