According to Douglas Adams, the meaning of life is 42. More seriously, there’s no universally agreed upon answer. Common philosophical perspectives include:

  1. Finding personal fulfillment
  2. Serving others
  3. Pursuing happiness
  4. Creating meaning through our choices
  5. Experiencing and appreciating existence

Ultimately, many believe each individual must determine their own life’s meaning.
