What is meaning of life? Life is meaningful because someone loves you. Without your life, that person would not have that opportunity to love. Life is to have joy and serve. Albert Schweitzer once told a graduating class, "I do not know hwere all of you are going or what you will do, but let me tell you simply this; unless you set aside some portion of your lives to help and serve those less fortunate than yourselves, you will really not be happy."
