that was actually very funny. i'm a bit forward, the only reason why is there so many phonies out there and sometimes people use nlp un-ethical which really annoys me

"which really annoys me"

It cannot annoy you, it can be a stimulus to provoke feelings of annoyance in you, but whether that happens is your choice (once you can control your state!).

Back to the meaning of life...

How about using some of our linguistic skills to explore this perennial question.
"The meaning of life--what is it?" presupposes that there is only one meaning, but that is not necessarily the case. The question also uses a very large scope, someone's entire life, including all the things that person has been and done from birth to death.
But more important, there are several enormous deletions.
For instance, the verb "sell" is a "four-place" verb, requiring a buyer, a seller, something to be sold, and a price. If I say, "I sold something," that leaves out the buyer and the price (and is pretty vague about what was sold).
The word "meaning" also needs additional elements in order to have any substance. Meaning for whom? Using what criteria? In what context? For what outcome?
Asking "What is the meaning of Life" is like asking, "What is the meaning of apple?" or "What is the meaning of car?" Unless you fill in the deletions, it is as meaningless as, "I sold it." But if (and only if) you reduce the scope and you fill in the deletions, you can easily find meanings.

Here's some linguistics

Meaningfuller!

What is the meaningfuller of life?

Or how do we make it more meaningfuller

How do we fill it with meaninfullerishness?

How do we strew it with abundant meaningage?

A vegetative state patient's life has meaning
Even my life has meaning

How to I get more juice out of it? I think that's a more NLPish question.

Of course, it probably helps to determine whats meaningful and whats meaningless, or any sliding scale therein

meaning just ain't as meaningful as people think it is, is it?
