There is no meaning to universal life, just whatever meaning you attach to your own existence.

I think, the meaning of life is what you make of it.

In theory, everything is possible. In practice, it's the same only there are just obstacles.
If the obstacles seem unpassable, figure out a work-arounds (if not manageable on your own get help) - bit of ethics and self-reflection might apply. If you tell yourself the opposite, nothing is possible. s**t happens, but Nice things do too!

Up until now the only unpassable obstacle I can think of is corporal death, which makes it the exception that confirms the rule.

Cheerfully,
Wallourdes

We were discussing evolution. The sort of apex (humanity) is acting like a mass of total idiots.

The meaning of life is subjective.

EDIT:
I also heard an interesting quote once.It's not serious but it can make you think.The quote goes like this:
The meaning of life is reproduction.

True in a certain sense, namely biology.

"life" is a period of being extremely busy.
before life and after life, there is nothing to "do".

during life, you must "do" everything that your life obliges you to do.
even if your life entails nothing but breathing, you must perform the action of breathing throughout it's entirity.

"life" is a time when you are never at peace, because you must perform some required action at all times all through it.

life is a busy time and after it is gone, one can rest in peace because there is nothing left to do to sustain it.

life is like a fire that that burns with intentions and deliberations and it consumes all the opportunities (fuel) that it encounters , and after it is gone, the flame is gone and perpetual equilibrium with infinite ease is achieved with not an iota of effort.

perpetual equilibrium is what all living things strive for, and it is only arrived at after the striving is gone.

Evolution just gives you a chance and what you do with it. It depends upon your genes and how you use them. No guarantees.
