Meaning of Life

[omgitznpv]

I've always been thinking...What is the meaning of life...?

RE: Meaning of Life

I came to the conclusion long ago that there is no common meaning. I see only relative meaning in life...meaning, it has meaning if you give it personal meaning.

I know there are many that enjoy the confortable feeling in holding faith to a common meaning of our existance, but I don't see things that way at all.

What do you mean when you said "personal meaning"?

There is no meaning of life until you actually opened your eyes and lived it.
Meaning, you have to die in order to understand.
One day you would look down on Earth and you would say "So.. this is how i lived my life, and now i see the purpose".
Something always keeps us away from those answers, it's right under our noses but it's too tiny to see.

We could always make theories and guesses.

RE: Re: RE: Meaning of Life

The "meaning of life" is a pretty loose term. If there was an end-all meaning to life, i think it would be a little more complicated than dying and then looking back and saying "oh, there it is lol".

I really don't believe in a common "meaning of life".

Such a broad statement has many avenues in which to explore. For instance, one could say that the whole meaning, or purpose, to have is to have meaning. This would imply one's actions as they lived their life giving them purpose only if they believed it had purpose.

One could also take a religious stand and say that man's meaning to life is to serve a greater being in order to move on to a better life, one that implies to have more meaning than the first.

One may even dare to say that man's purpose in life is meaningless, that, in fact, there is no meaning, and we are here to simply exist, procreate, and expire. Life goes on but for what purpose would be the attitude of the theory in question.

Another, and certainly not the only, track would be a more humorous side. In an attempt to answer the question, the observer would answer the question literally and when questioned, "What is the meaning of life?" their response would be simply, "duh life is defined as living... now give me another beer."

Quite intriguing

''What do you mean when you said "personal meaning"? ''

It could be anything. It's personal...that's the point. Personal? Get it? Purpose. You could find meaning in anything. The meaning of life could be to live it happily.

So, not necessarily meaningless. If you feel your life has a purpose, then it has meaning. I don't believe in a common meaning.

Lets say what you REALLY mean.... to get lots of sloppy titties and moist vaginas. And I concur.

To learn, pass on your knowledge, die, and wait in heaven for the ones you passed the knowledge to.

I find the idea of Heaven almost contradictary to the answer to the meaning of life.

Let me tell you what I know:

1) you die after leading a life of certain standards

2) you go to heaven

3) when your there, you ask yourself, what's the meaning of heavenly life?

4) seriously does anyone know what you do when you go to Heaven (I ask only those who believe it and ask that you keep it semi non-religious because many people believe religion is a mandatory choice.)

Now we tie this in with this----
->

I see only relative meaning in life...

add a little "42" in there and you get the number of times I should fornicate in a year.

I win at the meaning of life
