    The meaning of life is:
    1) Survive in good health.
    2) Reproduce; but not to the extent of overpopulation and the detrimental effects thereof.
    3) Learn about this Earth / Universe in whichever field(s) of study best suits you.
    4) Work smart and efficiently, but a little hard work now and again is probably a good thing too.
    5) Be happy, keep a good sense of humour and enjoy the pursuits of life (recreation).
    6) Try to get along with others. If you can't get along, graciously walk away or try to negotiate a mutually agreeable separation
    (friendship, family, love and property, etc.).
    7) Be charitable, but not to the point of dependency (A hand up is better than a hand-out).
    8) Do not impose your beliefs on others. Healthy discussion / debate is allowable.
    9) Live within your means. Try to live a moderate life. Do not overindulge.
    10) Be honest with yourself and others. Be polite and courteous with others.
    11) Conserve energy and resources. Limit your use of plastics.
    12) Be respectful of the natural environment. Do your part to prevent / control the spread of exotic and invasive flora and fauna. Encourage natural biodiversity.
    13) Do not submit to corruption and criminal intent.
    14) Use violence only in cases of self-defense, last resort or pre-emptive measures.
    15) Make a plan.
    16) I freely admit that I have not fullfilled all of the above (to the letter), but that I try to do my best.

    Please feel free to ask about the points above. I am not an expert on everything. Please try to find any information you are unsure of yourself or consult with a knowledgeable person in that field.
    There is still much to learn.

      Change the question from what's the meaning of life to how can I live a content life and you've got it right

      You really should write a book on your findings.

      If you really believe that that's why we're alive, you must lead a pretty boring life.

      This sounds like a guide for living. The meaning of life upon which your rules are based must have some degree of enlightenment. Enlighten us to the essence of it all.

        The 'essence' of it all, is that there is a hidden part of the Universe which is all around you (and within you), if you know how and where to look.
        We are part of this Universe, which we hardly understand. These are the guidelines which are provided.

          That's reasonable. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give your response a 6.
