I think the reasonable answer to this question is, everyone has their own ideals on what brings meaning to life, their life specifically.

Some may think God and religion is what brings ultimate meaning to a persons life and they'll devote themselves to following his every word and follow the words of the bible and that's okay.

Some people might think that being green and loving the planet to try and preserve natures beauty for future generations brings ultimate meaning to their life and that's okay.

Some people might think that money and success will bring them complete joy and make their lives happier and much easier, so they strive to gain all of their personal goals in order to reap the rewards and feel fulfilled, that's okay too.

Some people think that living a free life away from the stress of the modern day society is the way forward, being free from worry, free from the burden that today's world throws upon people on an everyday basis, just having to survive, with only love and hope to carry them through, that's more than okay if that's what suits those people.

I don't think there's any place for judging or criticising people's beliefs and their personal infrastructure, we are all different, we all see different things in the world, we all see beauty and meaning in different things, but at the end of the day, we're all the same, at the core of every being there is a longing for acceptance and love and ultimately happiness, whichever way people seem fit to seek happiness, as long as it's legal and it doesn't hurt or harm anyone, there's nothing wrong with it, everyone's life meaning is equal and just as important in the world as everyone else's.

Me? well i strive for the day when i can turn around and say that I have made my parents proud, that i've made myself proud, that I've become the best person i could possibly be, money and success mean nothing to me, the love of my family and friends is what drives me and that's what gives my life meaning because as long as i have that, then I'll always be happy.
