  1. Before give my opinion, I should like to share this poem.

    I do my thing and you do your thing.
    I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
    And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
    You are you, and I am I,
    and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
    If not, it can't be helped.
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_prayer)

    Life is not easy. It's hard, complicated and unexpected.
    There is no correct and wrong answer to this question.
    Thre are as many answers to this question as people think.
    For me, to think of the reason of your life is one of the meanings of your life.

    1. I like the poem and I think that it has other meaning. The life is easy but you need to focus in each moment. The opportunities in the life are created by the world and we should have the perception for catching in the adequate instant. I agree that the question is difficult to answer and each person have a different ways to interpret your propose in the life.

  2. Since past centuries the philosophers and intellectuals were discussing: what's the meaning of the life? They have said with complicated discourses that the meaning of the life is the happiness. I agree with these thinkers that the meaning of life is the happiness. But I have a question, how can I obtain this happiness? I think that the way for obtaining the happiness is working for the people. When I can contribute to the society, I am good person. We live in the society where the decisions that we took affect to the society. If we achieve to be good persons and we contribute to the society thinking, innovating, and working in this way. We know what is the meaning of the life.

    1. Actually before reading what you have just said Juah, I thought life is the happiness, so I agree with you. I have read a small a story which actually had inspired me, one day a teacher asked a child student "what do you want to be in the future?" The student answered " I want to be happy" the teacher said " you must didn't understand the question" the student replied " you must didn't understand life.

  3. In my opinion, life was set by God. Life is a gate to other everlasting life. For example, I go to school to be educated and I pray everyday five times to get mercy. Therefore, in order to be well educated I have to do well in my tests and, by the way life itself is just a test and not everyone can pass it. In life there are a happiness and anger, in life, peace prevail and destruction spread. In life people cry for success and failure.

    1. I totally agree with you. Life is exam; it is step to another life; it is life before life of immortality. In my opinion life is derived from organism. I believe if I worshiped God, I will be in the heaven. This is the purpose of my life.

    2. Moddy, I like your first sentense. I think your life is set by God too.
      There is no such thing as coincidence.
      It was destined to happen.

      No matter how hard you try to change your life and it works, it was all arranged beforehand.

    3. It's what I had been said on my post that every country don't have the same trust. In my opinion, I do not agree with you, that god set your life because in my country we trust that you life it depend on your self. Every step and things you do you are the one who make the dicision No one really can control you.

  4. I bet that many culture don't really have the same life meaning. The meaning of life in my culture is when someone pass away or die we will put them inside the temple for a couple day. It's depend on your family how long do you want the munk to pray to the death body because in thailand we trust that if let the buddha pray for the death boddy, so that person who die will go up to heaven. If someone doesn't pray so I think that person is not believe in buddha. That is most of the people who live in thailand did.
