Hey ya'll! What is the meaning of life? It's one of life's biggest questions and no one knows the answer to it (I think). So what do you people on this board think the meaning of life is? I think the meaning of life is hard work. Well, please reply.

I think that being happy is the meaning of life. If you aren't happy, your life has no meaning, so when you are happy, it does.

The answer to the meaning of life is...42

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Its a religious question .

luckily for you guys, i have discovered the meaning of life

The meaning of life....there was a topic on this a while back, and I was very happy with my answer there However, my room is roasting, the air conditioning is on the fritz, so for the moment the meaning of life is to stay cool So I can't be bothered looking for where that thread was

To be honest...I don't believe I need any 'meaning' to justify my existance...however, if there is some purpose to it, then I still hold that the meaning of life is simply to live it; if you spend all your time worrying about the hows and the whys, then you simply won't give yourself a chance to enjoy it.

I believe you only have one chance at existance...when you're time is up, you can't simply press the reset button and start again, so it's up to all of us to get the best out of it

In my opinion it is to love and be loved.

live the best you can !

Perfection. Constantly improving in an attempt to brake free from this world and enjoy your well earned rest. Also fun. Working hard but not forgeting to relax, have a good time and to learning to cope with all that comes your way. The meaning of life is learning!

A time period between your birth and your death.

It's to live life to the fullest because we are here for a limited time
This is how i see it " Life is like a bubble, so live it to the top cos u never know when its gonna pop !!!!"

think "good" thoughts, say "good" things, do "good" things

is the Zorostrian credo, "good" (nike...say neeek), means all things you do with a clean and kind hart.

exactly

the meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life!

Cool I found it .......It was behind the cushion on the sofa . It's got a little bit of vegemite sandwich stuck to it , but you can still tell it really is the true Meaning of Life....

very good kismit

ok

Claiming life has meaning is implying their was some overall purpose for which life was 'created'. But life wasn't created, its a fluke of nature, an environmental accident that has been so successful it has lasted as long as it has to evolve into complex life forms. As a fluke there is no meaning, however if you really must have one than by taking evolution as the purpose, we can only deduct that the meaning of life is to survive, breed and so continue our species' (and our genes') survival.

That is the only logical answer.

Rather than just stating that classic your wrong cause I don't agree with you, why don't you actually give a proper argument.

ahh the meaning of it all...
a discussion most popluar amongst stoned hippies.

but does it really matter?

death is the only certainty.





Moe?

yes?

lay off the vodka!

sorry.

you better be...

True enough. It must be a great piece of mind to be so optimistic

There's got to be something more to life...

I think we are here to learn.We learn something every day... even if we don't get out of bed.

Looky what I found ... while looking for links about the book 'The moral animal ' By Robert Wright . A book about the phsychological evolution of man that sounds really cool . I found Robert Wrights site called meaningoflife.tv However you should be prepared to use real player .
If you missed the first linker Here's another Click this one you can't miss it .....

I'm curious to find out what you guys think the meaning of life is. As for my self, I really have no idea at this stage in my life. Hopefully one day I will. Sorry for not elaborating further on the topic. I like to keep it short and sweet.

PS. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, so if it is not just move it.

ah, a thread just like this one was started just a while back ill use the same line as before; the meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life!

Claiming life has meaning is implying their was some overall purpose for which life was 'created'. As an athiest however I believe life wasn't created, its a fluke of nature, an environmental accident that has been so successful it has lasted as long as it has to evolve into complex life forms.

*waits for Joc to take shots at him )

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.

The meaning of life: Is to be born, learn, accoplish things, and last of all... Die.

yes.. yes it is

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.

Give love and it will come back to you in the future, give it a try. The meaning of life is to be happy.

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)

the meaning of life lies within your soul and your entire being. My meaning of life is much different than yours-we all have different reasons as to why we are here. thus the meaning of life.
