<p>The meaning of Life:</p>
<ul>
<li>Love &amp; Be Loved</li>
<li>Fulfill Your Unique Purpose</li>
<li>Embrace Faith &amp; Hope In Tomorrow</li>
<li>Live In The Present</li>
<li>Serve Others Humbly</li>
<li>Balance Life&#8217;s Big 5 Choices</li>
</ul>
<p>We could argue, add, subtract, debate. Doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>What matters is having <em>your</em> list, one you can remember and share easily.</p>
<p>If not, you&#8217;re in no position to debate. None. Take a stand. Nail it down for crying out loud.</p>
