What is the meaning of life?I have been searching searching and searching answer of this and consequently getting more and more confused. Is it happiness, love, self realization, self actualization(whats the difference? why cant they make it simple?)spiritual self-identification, etc etc
anyway...here is a good one from Ludwig Wittgenstein -
What is the meaning of life?
Expressed in language, the question is meaningless. This is because "meaning of x" is a term in life usually conveying something regarding the consequences of x, or the significance of x, or that which should be noted regarding x, etc. So when "life" is used as "x" in the term "meaning of x", the statement becomes recursive and therefore nonsensical.

Hey….this x theory is quite difficult …
Well I feel that when we are not happy we start searching for life and its various meaning ……and when we are back in our happy world we forget our longing for the search for life………life is a path or is it a goal, that we have to achieve …this is what we have to decide…what say?
Nice post n pic :)
