re: What do you think is "the meaning of life?"

Nothing, there is no "meaning"

Family
Friends
Health

Pussy and watermelon.

Give meaning to God.

God is all there is. There is only the one conscious Mystery.

Our "job" is to do God's work. We are "it".

Love.

That's job #1.

tennis is #2.
actually play, presuming an "other".

all beings replicate, duplicate. that's the practical side of existence.
it can be boring. another NCAA D-1 championship.

Obviously much of our life is spent trying to earn money to provide for ourselves, our families, pay bills/taxes, have shelter, transportation, etc

Pretty sad.

Whatever it takes to convince yourself that you're not an insect clinging to a rock flying through an abyss.

HARRY: That's right. Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and, uh, what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: people are not wearing enough hats. Two: matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

BERT: What was that about hats, again?

To make or leave behind something better that wasn't here prior to your birth.
