Meaning of life
The meaning of life, or the answer to the question ""What is the meaning of life?"", is a philosophical and spiritual conception of the significance of living or existence in general. The question seeking the meaning of life can also be expressed in different forms, such as ""What should I do?"", ""Why are we here?"", ""What is life all about?"", and ""What is the purpose of existence?"" or even ""Does life exist at all?"" There have been a large number of proposed answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. The search for life's meaning has produced much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history.The meaning of life as we perceive it is derived from our philosophical and religious contemplation of, and scientific inquiries about existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness. Many other issues are also involved, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife. Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the 'how' of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question ""What is the meaning of my life?""
