I believe that the meaning of life is to live and try to make other people better and influence those who need it. So basically i think we are put on this earth to make it better for others

perhaps we're waiting in the wrong thread.

I think the meaning of life is to live a life of ambition and passion and every once in a while do something crazy.

I think if anyone ever found out, their head would quite literally explode...

Although I also think NOBODY will EVER find out...

But I suppose you never know.

So for now, we just give ourselves that reason.

It doesn't have to be a reason that supports the existence of all and everything in the universe, just enough to get you along content/ happy/ satisfied in life. Which is probably what we'd all want anyway.

Be it...

Your job

Your family

Your friends

Your partner

Your passion

Your beliefs

Your faith in the next life

Something else predictable

Something else completely far-fetched

Whatever purpose you choose your existence to serve

However many

Live for it. Remain loyal to it. Believe and maintain integrity towards it, despite the many deterrents you'll face. If you truly believe it's what your existence is for, you'll find a way for it to see you through.

Ugh... Just sounds like a sugar-coated way of expressing existentialism... But meh

That sounds familiar.... The suspicison that if anyone found out the answer the universe would be fundamentally changed so that it would become even more complex, but you never know it may have already happened... 6x7=

The meaning of life...Well I think life is too amazing to have something to do with the word "meaning"

Everyone's life follows a different path, so how can there just be a meaning to an overall existence? You can't just lump everything into one extreme answer, you gotta break up the question to suit the individual.

Anyway, why would anyone want to know the answer, isn't it more fun to make it up as you go along?

I reckon these quests for the true meaning(s) should be limited to being motivated by enlightenment... You won't ever get a conclusion. There are endless variables, that no human brain will ever be able to consider, calculate and conclude from.

So sure, look for an answer to the question. But know that in doing so, you're pursuing nothing more than enlightenment. It's probably one of the greatest things you could get from trying.

Cause otherwise man, people really haven't got a choice except for to be content with what they have had/ are having/ will have.

What is the Meaning of life?

Simple question. What is the thing that all of us want?

HAPINESS!!!

How do you get happy?

LOVE IS THE WAY TO HAPINESS!!!

We only have one life. Live it, love it and enjoy it...

There is no meaning to life. There is no evil. There is no good. There is no bad. Do whatever you please, there's no one to judge you...<br /><br />Post edited by: chemical_flare, at: 2008/04/07 14:46
