The answer (drum roll) - TO LIVE ! Simple enough hey? If you aren't alive nothing else really matters does it? Life is the first thing we are given and the last thing that is taken away, and nothing can change that fact.
Life is a method of hiding from the infinite. As William Blake says,
"When the doors of perception are cleansed, everything will appear as it truly is, infinite."
We play hide-and-seek with ourselves. We are born to search, and we search, and we search, and then we die. I guess we found what we were looking for, eh?
The meaning of life is simply the meaning you live. Personally, i try to live as a good person who is aware of others feelings and attempting to enrich the lives i touch.
P.S. I always know where my towel is and watch out for the Vogons, they are the third worst poets in the Universe.
