It is a creative project without ads and it is totally free. So, let’s see, what it is about: According to a statistics, there are 430 million English speaking internet users. Are they enough to answer the biggest question? What would happen if all of them visited this website and wrote a sentence? Would we find the ultimate answer? I don't think so, but who knows... Our only goal is to collect as many of these sentences as possible. What about you? Have you ever thought about the reason of life? Do you have a minute to do that now? We just need a sentence! It can be funny or serious, happy or sad, philosophical or casual. It can be your own thought or a quote from your favourite writer or just from the grocer around the corner. It has to meet just one requirement! It should be one of the endless possible answers to the question: WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? www.imeanlife.com Dear owner of this blog,

So choose to become wiser, choose to love more, choose to be more. And when through this continuous striving you will be wiser, love more, be more, you will will see the truth and this truth will set you free. You will see that we become what we think about and that becoming feels just as good as being, that sometimes the journey is even better than the inn. :) (Seneca, Jesus, Nightingale and Cervantes) No man was ever wise by chance.
