I didn't vote either way, simply because I don't believe that there is a simple all encompassing answer for the meaning of life. A life has several meanings, we as free willed rational thinkers give it meaning, whether our meaning is to pass things on to the next generation, to innovate, or to waste our lives. By saying a meaning, I wonder if you're trying to get at a purpose for existence, if that's the case, we have the same purpose as the grass, the trees, and the other beings that inhabit this rock... we are here to simply live and enjoy what sort of gift we're given. People as the higher order of rational thought want a large complex purpose, even if the simple answer dangles right in front of us. We exist to exist. Occam's Razor, The simplest explanation is the best one.
Do not try to overcomplicate what was never meant to be a complicated idea to begin with, you'll be happier that way.
But like I said in a post before knowledge is tentative, so maybe there is a greater truth out there, maybe the purpose is to discover it.

I don't waste, sorry spend, time searching for the meaning of life because there is none in my opinion. I think too many blockbusters have made people feel special when we're just a tiny insignificant speck in nothingness and it just IS that way. It can be changed or efforts put into preserving it, I don't really care either way since I've long since withdrawn from that battlefield.
If these words he speaks are true, we're all humanary stew! Unless we pledge allegiance to The Black Widow.Wouldukindly said:
I wouldn't want to know...
Namely because if the meaning of life were trivial, then I'd've wasted my life on something that probably wasn't even worth knowing (or was probably easy to discover).
Life's a mystery. It's what makes it great.
Let's keep it that way.

Well I figure that if you found out what the meaning of life really was, your head would explode, so I'm cool with just living life as it is.
The meaning of life: Be nice to people, avoid eating fat, try to get a little walking in, and live in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations...
EDIT: Now you all know so just try and live with it.

I'd want to know, if only so I could piss people off by randomly shouting it.
Yes, I shout the endings to Harry Potter.

Mystery loses appeal once it's revealed. If I find the answer to life, will I lose my will to live?
I'm not really sure what to answer.

I don't care what purpose I have. I will make my own, which is why I disagree so strongly with religions claiming that God provides a higher purpose. To have no purpose is liberating in my view
