What is the meaning of life?

      What is the meaning of life?  We are born, we spend a period of 
      time in this world, and then we die.  As with us, so it is with 
      plants and animals and all living things.  Birth, a short life in 
      this world, and then death.  It is a universal law.  It is the way 
      things work in this material world.  What is the meaning of it 
      all?  What is the meaning of this phenomenon of birth, life, and 
      death?  What is the purpose of it all?  Is life a place for the 
      soul to learn and develop and improve upon itself?  Or is it a 
      kind of spiritual testing ground for the soul?  These explanations 
      may make sense for humans who have minds and consciences and a 
      knowledge of right and wrong, but what is the explanation for 
      plants and animals and other living things?  Why are they here?  
      What is the purpose in their existence?
