The meaning of life

to spread to love.

 

i personally dont think there is a "meaning" or "answer"...it's apart of being a human being- we question everything...maybe there is no meaning, we're just here?

 

that sounds great, but it would definitelly threw me over to have so much knowledge
to me the meaning of life is to have one I would be satisfied with (just as it was mentioned already at the beginning) simple, happy life with a family and friends.. to me living is like draving. you give everyone a pencil, everyone will have the same pencil.. and they will draw things yet not seen and from all these things yet not seen we get the big picture, the meaning of life

 

I think the "meaning" of life if I can call it that is to procreate and spread my seed ensureing my atoms will continue and get passed on as long as the sun shines, and hopefully when the sun stops shining and we get sucked into a black hole atoms of mine and my offspring will be kicking around space and hopefully some cosmic dust cloud will form and the atoms that were once mine help form new life.

In short I want to live forever.

 

the meaning of life is to live life to the fullest without getting mind fucked about what the meaning of life is, and at the end of the road feeling good about your past and content about your future, i think u need to believe in yourself and if u feel good about sometihng do it no matter what if you dont feel guilty about it try it.

for example the jewish religion doesnt allow getting tattoos, i want a tattoo i would get it but i wouldnt feel completely good about myself getting it, so im not, on the other hand if i dont get it i feel like a missed out on something that would make me feel somewhat better. idk if u get my point but i tried

 

I must say this person has it down to what I think. How can we make a set "meaning of life" when everyone is different?...Humans do question everything (well ones that think..which I have come to find are less and less..haha) and try to put meaning to everythign we do. Why would there be a reason to life, and what's the point of trying to figure it out?!..I mean, what happens if you don't fulfill what you think the purpose of life is...somehow we're here..No one knows how (people have their speculations, but who can agree huh?!) no one knows why...Why put a meaning to something like this..maybe we have no purpose, but to get in the lizards way by building house?!..that's certainly something we'd never figure out (wow, if I was right on that one!)

 

The meaning of life is forming your own meaning. what do you like, what do you wanna live for, what do you wanna be remembered as or not remembered?

 

But is that a "meaning" of life or is it just something that you want to do in life? Not that you have to do a certain something that you want to do, (your meaning) but to go through life doing whatever...wouldn't your meaning in life then change with each year you got older..how can the meaning be to form your own meaning..you already then have a meaning which is to form a meaning?!..it's a horrible circle if you get what i'm saying

 

Does a cat's life have meaning..? Sometimes I think that life doesn't have a meaning, that we simply just are..

well.. some would say that we are the universe experiencing itself.. we have formed from material which most believe to be 'lifeless' (I would question that though.. the world, the universe, everything is alive apart from the world we have created).. into something that is able to percieve and question.. from that perspective, if the reason why we are here is because OUR UNIVERSE desires to define itself, and with some thought, that is not as far-fetched as it seems (we ARE a part of our universe, just like the stars, the planets and everything else)... I guess our meaning is to find out what our universe is.. to ask the questions, "what is life", "what is infinity", "what is our universe", etc... and then take that knowledge to wherever it is we go when we pass away, whether that is into the ground, the sea, the air... but to also live, love and learn... to experience those patterns and feelings that arise from a finite infinity such us ourselves...

 

there is no meaning.

 

Aww, you can't help but to love bluntness! Agreed

 

don't shatter my illusions damn you

 

im pritty sure there IS a meening im not sure what it is though lol there for YOU ARE RIGHT as if right now

 

My meaning of life is to... find something that I can call truth and be absolutely sure of it. When some truth is known, then the meaning and really the reality of human life should also become clearer.

 

Being the fatalist that I am, I'm sure the meaning of life is just to be and act. It doesn't really matter what one does, so long as one does it. Your meaning and purpose is fufilled regardless, because whatever you do is part of the divine plan. Which leaves you open to do whatever you want

 

What do you consider the divine plan to be? Is it just what happens to you once you die?

 

we're here to hunt n mate. like all other animals i spose. we're just curious and question everything.. we can't help it, we beleive there is an answer to everything but there really isn't and our brains aren't capable of accepting. so we're always asking but WHY?..
like i said before, we are animals and we were put here as part of the ecosystem to help the world go round, spread the seeds, keep the balance. but we fucked that up baaaad. .
it is a mind fuck cause then you think. then what is the point of me even being here, whys anything even excisting when there is no point to it?
Seriously, think about it... why does anything exist at all when there is no point to its existence?

mind boggling

 

i dig.

its like // a kid living in pverty and starvation's meaning of life would be to get clean water and food to survive and stuff. but to a kid in the city their meaning would be to get that xbox but then to a parent it would be to give the best possible life for their children..

i didnt read the comment before this so i could be totally off track

 

The meaning of life is predetermined before we are born. And that is to finish school, go to college, get some degree, marry, have kids, retire, and then die. But who actually listens to that load of bull.

 

No, you got it right, that's what I was saying.and also that like a little kid's meaning could be to swing the highest on teh swing, but a teenagers would be to get laid.. lol.. well what happens once the goal isreached? and I agree about the mind fuck part of it haha...If there's no point then why is everything here. Like now there's a reason, it's to keep the world going (the ecosystem, mating), but then people ask why it was started in the first place...there's always going to be questions. and there's no way to put an end to them haha.
