to live life the best you can never give in to others be your self no matter what

me and my friend trid to answer this question and we decided thet there is no point in living because you will only find out the meaning of lif ein death. We also t hought that the meaning of life could be, just to be.

Is this why you go by the name of death?

The meaning of life ?

We are created, we live, we create the new generation, we try our best to be successful in life, we give and try our best to be someone and make a change in this world, to make things better and easier for who? Ever since we are born we know that we are going to die, and nothing that we have done is going to stop that from hapening!!. So, all of us are making things better and easier for somebody?
It seems that we were created as a test, Being here is a challange.... The only one who benefits is the creator ! but who's the creator?..... Life is a challange, where we are being drag by time !! no matter what you do, time is always gonna keep running.... no matter how hard you try to not become a 50year old man, time is gonna take you there.. is it LIFE = TIME ?.

Once I answered this question as The Nameless One, then I posted it as The Man.
I have thought a great deal more about this question, and Id like to add some more to my answer. Complete the pattern solve the riddle. Everything in life has a pattern even the most complex mathematical problems have patterns, nature is a pattern, order out of chaos leaves us with a paradox, but still there has to be a pattern. What is the PATTERN.

0= Universe = Atoms = Consiousness = Existence = Life = Death = 0




Curiosity and consiousness form from atoms forged from the universe.

Zero represents the the point in time in which the universe had order, before it shot into a state of randomness. If we find the pattern, we return to the source and it starts over, not exactly reincarnation but more like nothingness without end.
Put a Cd on repeat, if repetiton is the cycle, God would be the battery that keeps juice running.

The question is not what is the meaning of life, but what is the meaning of God.

Chaos causes changes in patterns but it still has one simple pattern that keeps it from destroying itself. That pattern is God, what is the God code.

Is it a number, Does it have shape, is it consious, is it relative to time?

If the meaning of life is to return to the source, then the meaning of God would have to be about keeping the original pattern of the source together kind of like a glue.

Yo people somebody help me out. WHAT IS THE GOD CODE?

First of all, heyaz to everyone participating on this forum (<- new member).

Meaning of life perspective:
1: vieuwed from within life.
2: part of a greater cascade including interexistantial factors.

1:
I believe the meaning of life doesn't neccesarily need to be difficult to comprehend at all. I say to 'answer' this question, one needs to trace life back to its roots and study it as it becomes more and more sophisticated by means of evolution. To me the meaning of life is simply to stay inside existance, to survive (as a species) with natural selection being the hand of god judging which will be and which will not.

2:
However this debate has two sides. The one dwelling only inside of our existance (see above speculation) and one which ferries inside the absolute chaos we are (infinitely?) seperated from. To say it in not alien-like language: Why life is there and what is connected to it outside of our existance. So being part of GODs maxims or not. If life is just a game or an experiment, etc. No-one can know about that but I guess that is also an interest we all have in common.

As for the dreaming part and a possible theory for the meaning of life:

"I believe life is indeed part of some sceme because i support the notion of: everything comes with a reason, albeit an extremely senseless and ludicrous one sometimes. So I came up with the thought of life being a transition state maybe with a measuring factor included (something similar to what the bible refers to maybe (good -> heaven, bad -> hell)) and that life must go on (long enough?) for a species to keep that transition state going on."

Again, the latter part is pure metaphysical. Disagreeing is common, denial on this subject is an act of god only. It's the sharing of our dreams that feed our interests [this group at least]. I think

Is it so hard to comprehend that life possibly has no meaning? Or that life is constantly searching for a meaning through evolution?

Just saying, don't assume there is a meaning of life before you ask the big questions.

i ponder this question, have thought long and hard about it all to long, and i've realised one thing, the meaning to life is not to devote all your time to understanding it's meaning, but to live it as best as you can, and in that experience find meaning to your existence. just live it, don't waste your time questioning it.

a couple of other thoughts.
life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thouroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, woo hoo what a ride--unknown

or...
to leave the world a better place, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or an improved social condition, that is to have succeeded. that only one life breathed easier because you lived, that is success- attributed to ralph waldo emerson.

but then.... what the hell do i know.

Is the unexamined life worth living? If we talk of such things, then our conscience
testifies to the truth. And... Perhaps the meaning of life is truth, and love. No?
Since, without love and truth.... where would we be? Maybe we would not even
exist.

I don't think there is truly a SINGLE answer to "What is the meaning of Life?". Rather, I think there is a multitude of answers- all dependant upon our own perceptions, feelings, and beliefs about our own lives.

Some feel it's to better others; others feel its to devote themselves to a deity; while still others feel it is to simply be happy in their own lives, and the lives of others. None of them is necessarily wrong- rather, they are all correct in their own perceptions.

I've always felt life wasn't a single question, but a deluge of questions and answers- a process of learning, and questing for even more knowledge. Is it the meaning of Life? No, but it is the meaning of my life.

Having not read this entire thread yet, and not knowing if someone else has posted this yet, I must say that the meaning of the universe is undeniably, 42. And the question of the universe is "What is 6 * 7".

It's a metter of opinion what is good or what is bad.

The answer to this question you should find by yourself. Nobody can answer you that. The problem in this world is that 90% of people are existing or just shadowing the earth.
If you want to live, you should find the answer in yourself.
Life is given to you just once, so treasure it until you find your goal.

I believe the meaning of life is to make your species, preferably with your genes, continue to exist and ultimately to dominate. Everything that organisms do in the natural world points towards this as a common goal.

Humans are pretty close to it, but thankfully we evolved the intelligence to understand that if we completed this goal, life would get erased.

love in all its wonderous forms.

It's a tv show on the BBC network.

Of course I have my own version. But who gives a damn? No, really. What's it gonna change if I give my opinion. Of course nothing. Anyway, just wanted to say how funny it is to see that most ppl are so sure their view is the right one. Rather than being undecided and keeping an ever-open mind. Read a lot, and be ready to adjust and refine your thoughts and ideas. And keep looking, of course, never give up or think you already know it all. Cause that's just sad.
If there IS an ultimate meaning, it can't be very easy to find and recognize, otherwise it'd have been discovered by many simultaniously and spreaded all over the world. But apparently it hasn't. Just dunno what makes ppl think they'll find it in this topic. But I guess most just come here to tell the world how THEY see the matter, and mission accomplished. Anyway, most, if not all, of your versions are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meaning_of_life Quite a good read. Replaces everything that's been said in this topic, I think.

its simple, and the meaning of life is contained in one word:
CONSUME.
but in doing so, remember, everything is better when it is shared.

Yeah i dont think people all have the same perseption of life.I think its about earning knowledge and love and respect and haveing fun as much as possibly with minimal tragedies.

LOL<Arthur Dent and the hitchiker's guide to the galaxy,Nice one Fluffybunny.I can see why you couldn't resist.

Airplane Martinis and Cap'n Morgan... And New Zealand... I love New Zealand

I think the meaning of life is to discover ones own purpose and then try to see it though no matter what.

life has no meaning.

My p/s take on the meaning of life is...
To live life happy, slow (pace yaself) and free <--as in mental & physical freedom not freeloader free.

MAYBE THERE ISN'T MEANING OF LIFE SURE EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN OPINION OF WHAT THE MEANING IS BUT THEY'RE JUST OPINIONS. MAYBE THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE OR WANT TO LIVE INFLUENCES THE WAY YOU THINK THE MEANING IS.

Hmmm that sounds hard...perhaps the meaning of my life is to be lazy.

I agree..hehe..

isn't it a monty python movie?

it was a joke,,,,, the same as life it's self!

I was going to look up the definition of the word life and post it, as a sarcastic way of saying that the definition is as much as we are going to be able to find out about the meaning of life.

But, I ran across this wiki entry, and I have to say it was really interesting and informative. Enjoy!


Wiki's meaning of life entry.

The purpose of life is to worship our maker...

To forgive the Unforgivable.

There is no meaning to life, but what else can we do? Its not like we have a choice in being born, so we must accept it and just live life for what it is even though there is no meaning. However, that does not necessarily mean that we should live in despair, but instead enjoy our life and be happy because theres no point in being sad because it doesn't even matter anyway. As for death, I'd like to believe anything except for reincarnation because I absolutely dread reincarnation; after I die I don't want to come back.

Oh great,now I will be asking myself this question all day ,every day for the next week.

You don't know that you didn't choose this. What if you did? Maybe you should entertain the idea of asking the question 'why did i choose this?'

The meaning of life, the universe, and everything is...42

If I did choose this, why don't I remember it? What's the point in doing anything if your not going to remember it anyway? However, this encourages me to live every moment to the fullest, because if one lives for the moment, there is nothing else to do and nothing else to pursue.

There is none, and thus you are allowed to make a personal purpose to what you do in your life. You got here without consent. I personally don't believe in a higher being, and that also adds on to this belief of mine. Yeah, I'm a nihilistic existentialist. It's not a saddening aspect, rather one that brings bittersweetness. It's saddening because you don't have a reason to be, thus you can die tomorrow if you wish, but it's joyful because you're free to give your existence whatever purpose you wish it to have.

lol don't worry about it, it's not real anyway.

to realize what is beyond your power to change and accept it for what it is. the only thing you can change in life is yourself. dont let everything in life that doesnt matter, things that are beyond your control, get to you. if you can live your life without worrying about stupid sh** and love everyone you will be happy. the real meaning of life is to feel, to experience and to learn and know. if all living things can be considered conscious, then we should learn to treat all life as our kin. every living thing is connected and our job is to experience. lets all love eachother the way we should...

well i think the meaning of life is to love and be loved....to be happy and to make others happy........and try to be the kindest you can be!!

Life means life. If life had a purpose, this purpose would be nothing more than life.

i think its about hard work, experiencing as much as it has to offer as possible, and taking valuable lessons learned with you to death. If anything happens with you after death, you'll have attained that much more knowledge.

In other words life is about an experience. Live as you will, live and let live live and let die.

Eat sleep and basically stay alive.

that will remain to be a hard question to answer but i supose its meant to happen, sometimes i think its better not to ask these questions because they always puzzle me

Would you want to live after having found out the 'meaning of life'?

Think you have it there.
