Life tests you, but it isn't "a test." It is, what you make of it.

Having said that, I agree, helping others is definitely one of the best, if not the best, ways to bring meaning to life.

With God's translators however, I differ; I think God was saying life is an opportunity to choose love, sharing, caring, helping others.
Politics manifests the reality that voting is truly an opportunity for moral-ethical choices.
Heaven manifests the idea that there is always expanding room for those of whom it is never said, "S/he chose poorly".

A test will come and too many will fail the Me-We test because they failed in life to see that the other is actually also 'me'.
Or is it 'we'? Let's consult the scriptures; yours not mine.
