The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life??? It's hard to think of a word more charged with meaning—or meanings—than "life." According Radu Popa, the author of Between Probability and Necessity: Searching for the Definition and Origin of Life, he found at least three hundred, maybe four hundred definitions about life.
I take the article from windows to the Universe, "The study of life is called "biology" and the people who study it are "biologists". They even have a tough time describing what life is! But after many years of studying living things, from the mold on your old tuna sandwich to monkeys in the rain forest, biologists have determined that all living things, do share some things"
in common:
1) Living things need energy
2) Living things grow and develop
3) Living things respond to their surroundings
4) Living things reproduce
What do you think ???

Hi this is informative site can I subscribe in this site?
I am sure some would claim that that four part definition fits a computer.
The meaning of life? This is one thing that a lot of people are asking everyday. In Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning, he mentioned that the meaning of life is the meaning you give to life.
For me, the meaning of life is different for all. If you get it, you're probably not sure that you do. But if you don't get it, you're pretty damned sure that you don't. Good article. Makes one think.
The meaning of life...hmmm? If I am reincarnated, then I might have an answer. :-)
