I think everyone needs to find their own meaning in life. Life can mean whatever you want it to. Anything from "just a ride", to self betterment, to the betterment of others, or anything else you care to make it.

Sure, in terms of eternity, we are all only here for a very brief time. But in terms of ourselves, we are here for a lifetime.

What is the meaning of life for me? I don't know if I am entirely sure. At least, I think it can and does change. At the moment, I think it is about self-fulfilment whilst at the same time having a positive effect on the lives of others. If I can do great things for myself whilst also doing great things for others, I think that will be meaningful. Happiness, sadness, and all other things are fragile and fleeting, but that doesn't make them any less meaningful when they are present.
