Your saying that the meaning of life is WORK?!?!? OH GOD!!!!! Say it isn't so. And here I have been thinking all along that it was 42. LOL ok but seriously, I think that work is an important part of life, but it sure isnt the meaning of life. When I'm on my death bed looking back over my life I dont think that I am going to be saying to myself, 'Damn. I wished I worked more hours at my job." No I think I will be saying, 'Damn, I wish I had spent more time with my family, with my friends, doing those things that I enjoy doing, and being a better spouse, parent, child, friend, to everyone.'
Now on a very basic level though I think that there are only two different meanings of life. If you are a religious sort, then the meaning of life is salvation/enlightenment. On the other hand if you are an athiest/agnostic, then the meaning of life is simply survival of the species. (I would say procreation but we seem to be very good at that, and not so good at keeping ourselves alive.)
