Well, that's about all I can question. Your train of thought is already about as close to mine as it can get without you actually BEING me (you wouldn't go that far, would you? gonk ).

Life is a thing, like oranges and ketchup. To seek a meaning to it, is exactly like seeking a meaning to a branch. There is no meaning! It's there, use it or lose it.

To me, the meaning of life is anything you want it to be. How you interpret your current situation is going to be alot different than how others see it; as well as you opinion will be different than, say, your best friend's. 3nodding

The meaning of life is different for everyone. Think about it, certain people are good at certain things, certain animals are made to do certain things. There is no set meaning to life. What are you good at? What do you want to do for a living? What do you acomplish in your lifetime? Whatever the answers to those questions they answer the meaning of your life. Einsteins meaning was science, Edgar Allan Poe's was horror and detective writing,Wayne Gretsky(sp?)'s was hockey. The list goes on. For those people who aren't very famous and might hate their job probably didn't find their meaning in life so they live it meaningless.

But does that mean that just because you are good at something you should do just that and only that? Michael Jordan was a phenomenal basketball player, but he also loved to play baseball and golf, although he wasn't as successful in either. Also, who's to say that even if you're not great at something you can't work hard to become good at that something, since it's what you want to do? I highly doubt that every famous figure in history knew or was perfectly suited to do the task they ended up doing.

the meaning of life is to die. it sounds emo-ish and depressing, but its true. everything alive eventually dies, except vampires, but they dont really count, as they are neither alive nor dead

But what does it mean to truly die? Shakespeare died hundreds of years ago, the pharaohs of Egypt, thousands. But we still know and discuss them today. Have they really died?

I'd have to go with weats. I believe that the meaning of life is to live. We're here to live... and we can't take that away. Death is also another meaning of life, because it's just there. In other words, life and death is unremovable, so why not call that the "meaning of life"? I've heard people say happiness and love is the meaning of life, and that could be true. But there are people who've never experienced love and happiness, and died without those. That means those people never experienced the "meaning of life".
I guess it also depends on religon. If you were in Christianity, the meaning of life would be to go to heaven or something. If you were in Buddhism, the meaning of life would be reaching enlightenment... and so on.
Well, that's my theory.

it seems to me like the meaning of life is to discover the meaning of life!!
lol
actually thats a really good question.. and unfortunately i don't have a really good answer.


Wow. That was deeper than she intended it to be, I think. biggrin

I sometimes feel like the meaning of life is love. I like her answer.

A little George Carlin humor
The meaning of life is NOT DYING! Leave my plug alone! If I'm ever in a comatose state, I want ice creame every 2 hours, morphene every 10 minutes and turn the TV on! I want to watch Heraldo! You'd pretty much have to be brain dead to watch that, so you might as well watch it when you're clinically brain dead.

And a bit more serious.
I believe the meaning of life is to overcome your personal evils and obtain enlightenment, bring forth good workings into the world and to fulfill your purpose in life, whichever purpose that may be as everyone has thier own purpose.

I think the meaning of life is to have a fun life. Just to enjoy yourself, sometimes to succeed in having a lot. I really don't know, but if I had to guess, that would be it. Just have fun, have thrills.

i think life is what we make it to be. everyone has their own beliefs and reasons for their existance. some are born knowing what their meaning is, and some spend their entire life searching for it. i say, if you don't know what your meaning of life is, don't worry about it. you shouldn't start believing something someone like me just because my way makes sense. you need to figure it out on your own. for me, my meaning of life is (without any doubt) 42, and now i'm looking for the meaning of 42!

We're just existing because we don't know what would happen if we didn't.
We carry on, clueless, each lost and wondering.
Our lives could very well be meaningless, but we create structure, and rules, and study ourselves and our surroundings.
We try to create a meaning for what is, and perhaps what isn't.
It's been a long time since we evolved, and we don't remember if there was, really, a beginning, an intent, a purpose for being.
Perhaps we were the doodles of a higher being.
Perhaps we simply live to live.
We could be the crucial point in some plan, some cycle of existence, or perhaps all we are is a pattern of continuity.
Meaning? Who knows?

The answer? 42.
The question? If we knew that, we'd know if we had purpose.

Actually, look up "absurdism." It's another theory.
