I don't think - I know the meaning of life!
But any worded answer will be disappointing.
A string of words can only convey so much information.
The meaning of life is being true to your own nature.
This does not mean doing whatever you want or even
"following your heart."
It is discovering what it means to be a human,
as an animal and a conscious being, and being able
to reconcile both of those conditions.
[My answer may make you realize that your question
has many meanings. You may have meant "Why do we exist?"
But the answer is very much the same.]

I don't believe that there is a set "meaning" of life. If there was, I think we'd know for sure by now

I think the meaning of life is
Be happy, find someone, have kids and then die.
It's the only thing I can think of that would make sense.

Happy sounds good (There's some good stuff by Aristotle about that for example) however "find someone" and "have kids" doesn't seem necessary and in fact wouldn't make sense because these require the existence of other people, so what would the (hypothetically what if now) last person or first person do? That would imply it is not possible to live correctly for them even if they never knew other people could exist. Happiness and death would be possible to them though, but I don't think you can list dieing as part of the "meaning of life" -- that's like saying the "meaning of eating" is excreting. Also, what would you say of somebody who was born incapable of reproducing for example and couldn't adopt and nobody else wanted to date them and/or they did not find anybody else who met their standards for dating (cutting out for a moment the options of just not wanting to have children or not wanting to date to simplify the question)? Because of things outside their control and doing nothing wrong you imply you think they are to be blamed for "failing at life?" confused

Life has no true meaning. we are hee because we have to be just as someones knows something its because they must must know and just because life has no meaning we still must live it out for it is meant to be just as someone is meant to die.

You believe in a deterministic world with no meaning, yet you use the words to describe this world as saying things were "meant to be" -- this phrasing implies a meaning, a purpose of some sort. Care to untangle this apparent contradiction in the beliefs you hold?

There can be many meanings to life. We just have to find our own meaning.

I reckon the meaning of life is to continue the population. What else do we do in this world but take over things? The problems we solve are the ones we create!

Shinobi12321 I reckon the meaning of life is to continue the population. What else do we do in this world but take over things? The problems we solve are the ones we create! But eventually we will all die in some freak biological accident, explosion, or just a failure of reproductional organs.
There must be a meaning to why we must increase or population, or yet again it is pointless to do so.
Also, are you suggesting that the meaning of life is to also take over things?
I really dont understand.
