Is there a meaning of life ?

As a species that is capable of higher order thinking, we treat life which is something to be valued. Being 'intelligent' means that we try to associate a meaning with life. We all seek the reason of our existence. We try to know the aim/objective that is supposed to be accomplished. I believe in the principle of causality. There is a cause of everything including life. If we wish to seek the meaning of life, we must first try to know its cause in a holistic manner. Since I do believe that 'something' or 'someone' caused life, therefore, in my view, there should definitely be a meaning of life. It can't be that the objective of life is merely to grow, reproduce and generate more of one's own kind. There must be a larger meaning of the overall picture painted on this canvas (of world) of which we are merely spray dots of God's brush. But even these small dots must have a significance to the overall picture.
