um....you can also put it that way...
i was just saying...no one should give questions to an answer...
i mean...everyone should ask questions...but giving questions to an answer is giving relationships to non-related subjects...
and the question of the meaning of life is similar...people is asking the question because they think there is a meaning to life...but that's just an assumption...biologically speaking...every living organism is just a protein container of its DNA molecules...in other sense...every living organism's meaning of its life is for its DNA molecule to reproduce...
but of course...as i always say...human being is an exceptional organism...to a point that it doesn't follow the rule of natural selection...that's why human always have to think about the meaning of life...while living is already the meaning of existing...
remember...the arthur, Douglas Adams, created the 42 puzzle...where all the questions asked point to the answer 42...then people started to ask why the number 42? some even figured out that 6x9=42 in base 13...but that didn't even come to Adams' mind at all...in fact...the number 42 doesn't mean anything at all...
i don't know if this clarifies myself at all...but all i want to say is...if you ask me what the meaning of life is...i would say "to live"...and if you think that there is something wrong with that answer...maybe "you've never actually known what the question is"...

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
--Stephen F. Roberts
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
