What is the meaning of life?

The answers at this point, they sound as disparate as "save the planet" or "prepare the mashed potatoes perfect."
 One night, talking to Anita, a girl of nine years old, I insist on the question. "Wow, what a dramatic subject!" Cries she, without knowing what the word sense. I translate: "Why we are here in this life?". "Ah, to live the life, huh?" She says, and sneaking.
 The next day, I get a link to a study that investigates the meaning of life, published in the British magazine Journal of Humanistic Psychology. Directed by Richard Kinnier, University of Arizona (USA), the research came from the analysis of sentences and writings of 200 thinkers - the writer Oscar Wilde to the Emperor Napoleon. According to the study, for a minority of pessimists like Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and the writer Franz Kafka, life is meaningless. For another group, formed by the likes of Napoleon and the British physicist Stephen Hawking, life is a mystery. Few good, as singer Bob Dylan, who believed that there was only "a joke". Have idealists said that what matters is "love, help others." If the Indian Mahatma Gandhi, who said: "Meeting my happiness putting me all service lives."
 Finally, the result: "Life is to be enjoyed." At least that was the belief of 17% of personalities, some as opposite as the former U.S. president Thomas Jefferson and singer Janis Joplin, who died at age 27 and sang "enjoy it while you can." and after analyzing the writings of thinkers 200, completion of academic study was the same girl of 9 years old (!).
