Welcome to Gaia! ::

Whoops(but it is the meaning of life). I quess the meaning of life varies from person to person and their views my would be that it is a test to get into heaven or hell(I'm not devote before you say anything) and to reproduce more humans.

The meaning of life....hmmm...maybe that's just a question that shouldn't be answered. If we all knew the meaning of life, would there really be anything to live for. Everyone thinks about it at least once, and some spend their entire lives searching for their answer.

The easiest way to explain it for many people is that God created us. But then there is the question, "Where did God come from?" I don't think there could ever be a true answer. Who knows? It only makes your thoughts go into circles and gets us nowhere thinking it.

The meaning of life... To solve the puzzle of the universe... I am well on my way. 3nodding

I would agree- to a point. What are we supposed to be learning to do though? That's the question that, that purpose does not answere. I mean take this as an example, you learn Accounting, so you'll be able to track financial matters. You learn Graphic Design to learn how to design web pages, brocures, ect. You learn arithmatic so you'll be able to add multiply and divide.

This isn't as much of a purpose as it is a method, to obtain a higher puprose. The question is what is that higher purpose?

That is not true happiness. I could eat tons and tons of chocolate but in the end, I'll just end up with a stomach ache. I could have loads and loads of sex, but in the end I'm just going to have an STD proably and feel emotionaly empty.

True happiness is not through material, mundayn means but through spiritual, emotional means.



Again, I would argue that that's not true happiness that their receiving. They have preverse idea of what happiness is. Instead they should go through emotional means with in themselves. You have been given everything you need to be happy. You just have to find it within yourself.

I wouldn't necessarily say, that one needs a therapist or a religious leader. All they need is education (whatever form that comes from). That's why when I was responding to Cowzombie (I like that s/n, btw.) I said that I didn't disagree with her completely. I think the purpose of life is happiness and I think education, and thought is the method to obtain it. How can you ever know what happiness is unless you learn what it is?

I would say that they should really start reconsidering their priorities. They should look at how they are affecting the world around them. They should see if they are causing harm to those around them. They need to stop and learn what's happening and what could be happening if they changed.



God.

Nah, jk. (Well, not completely.) That's an impossible question to answer. Who is to say that we aren't floating in a bright red bowl of jello? How do we know that our senses are not screwed up and it's not really like the matrix except for the fact were in jello- not a robot electric factory?

I've asked similar questions to the one you just asked and inevitably, since no human is perfect and can be trusted with such power to determine the answer to that question, it ends up going to a higher power. Since the higher power isn't playing a completely direct role in our lives, were pretty much left with our own senses to make that conclusion. (As we are left with to make every other decision)
