The meaning of life is the essential essence of nature, and the thankess of being able to have that. What I'm trying to say is that life is a mystery and that we at least should be thankful we have a life.

Well all I can say is that the meaing of life in my eyes is in our eyes. Using words to express / discover the meaning reach a point where they have no effect and at that point pure experience and knowledge take over.
Eventually you will see there is no meaning in dictionary sense as everthing just is. Just to be I am is all.
This is what me thinks. Any opinions?

This is about the third 'meaning of life' thread I've posted in, but oh well
I don't need some kind of higher purpose to validate my existance...I'm here, and I'm happy with that. I'm not going to suddenly say "oh, what's the point of living anymore?" because I don't believe in god, or that I'm some cog in a gigantic, well planned out machine
In my opinion, the meaning of life is simply to live it. If you need a purpose to it, then as human beings we have the ability to make one ourselves. The meaning of life is whatever you want it to be
In my case, the meaning of life is to take over the multiverse

IMO there is no meaning to life.
I think that everyone would agree that something somewhere had to happen at sometime.
I think we are a product of that.
Cause if nothing had ever happened then there would nothing out there (or here)
I enjoy myself as much as possible and take that as the whole point of life. I don't see a reason to live in pain and suffering as some others do, I just wanna kick back and have fun. Honestly, if there is a heaven I doubt I would have got in anyway!
So have fun!! Time is a wastin' away

The meaning is...
Always look on the bright side of life,
turu turuturuturu

imho, the purpose of life is to experience emotion. it is only through happiness, sadness, anger and all the various emotions inbetween that we find ourselves. we must experience hate to know love. we must trespass against others to learn forgiveness. our emotions are extreme by nature and we must search for that middle ground of peace and comfort in them. i believe we all experience life many times over, again and again, as a way of learning what we need to learn to exist in a spiritual realm of peace and prosperity. for some, the journey is just beginning, but for others it is near completion.
while i dont believe a murderer can find Jesus and become an enlightened soul in that one instance, i believe that he may set himself upon a new path that could continue into other existances. we all make errors in judgement throughout our lives and we must address these errors in the next if we are to ever succeed in mastering our emotions and coming to know God.

if there was a meteor,
adrift amongst space,
set about on a collision course
not with Earth, but my face...
i wonder if id even know,
at what time i might,
be passed off like an old style
and by the meteor be smite?

| Claiming life has meaning is implying their was some overall purpose for which life was 'created'.

As a fluke there is no meaning, however if you really must have.... |
If something occurred that created life, can it really be a fluke? Maybe it was the rarest of the rare occurrences that led to the first, simplist life forms, without a God to create them. But then couldn't it also be looked upon as a design of nature somehow being a necessary part of the universe? If every effect had its cause in a chain of causality back to the beginning, then the appearance of life doesn't seem to be such a trifle - we were "meant" all along to be here.

I understand your argument, don't agree with it, but I see your meaning. Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

You know, that has never happened here about that particular topic before. First time for everything, I suppose!
Let's rock this joint!

We cant comprehend the force wich created the universe... we are stuck with the basis of the laws of physics and nature and science... the truth is so far out of the box we cant think that far out of it.... all done and said... the meaning of life is to prep for death(or to move on as I believe)

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.
