The most dangerous place to be is a life that controlled by other people. Once you have sunk that low you are in huge trouble. That is where my life is. There is nothing I can do on the outside. I am not able to control my environment, but I have integrity even if I am the only one who sees it, and this IS the meaning in my life- the fact that I have lived a life with my conscious clear, and in those times I didn't because I was too stupid to know better (not because I was evil), I have sought forgiveness and turned my life around immediatly when I realized I was in the wrong. It is true what they say- what is the point of gaining the whole world if you lose your soul? If you have to give up the world to keep your own soul, it is worth it. You don't have to be religious to accept that saying- it is common sense and life has proven it to be true. Live with integrity every day and your life will never be meaningless. It will be hard, yes, but not meaningless.

What if passion is meaningless?

Meaning is to be sought out and supplied by the individual. Find your passion, or passions in life, and pursue them. Life is too short to waste.

True passion is never meaningless. ;-)

Purpose.

Having a purpose, whether it be your faith, campaining for civil rights, saving the earth, volunteer work etc. I think having something to live for, something you do that you know is impacting the world/lives of others in a positive way, is the most fulfilling and meaningful way to approach your life.

For different people there are different things that makes their lives worth living. For some it might be some kind of passion, a hobby, etc.
Some merely carry on living out of fear of death. Some don't know why they even get up in the morning. Others have never thought about it.

Why do you see it meaningful to get up in the morning? For me personally, it is the sheer mystery of life: before I die I want to find out what we are, what exitence is all about and why everything is the way it is. I want to examine life, as Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living.
