The meaning of Life

[Spooky_Eli]

It's a simple question really, What is the meaning of human existance?

[drhalsey1]

I'm not sure about an actual answer, so I'll just say the purpose of life, the universe, and everything is 42. :)

[InternetTeen]

To die.

[Pultost]

Grow up, reproduce and snuff it.

[ska8er]

To me the Meaning of Life is Being
and Survival and then an Afterlife.

I dont think we have a pre determined meaning, the meaning is what you choose to do with your life :)

[Ethan19]

I don't think there is a meaning. I think people want to believe there is one because it's easier to live believing you're heading towards something. I don't think most people like to believe that their life is worth nothing

[GiJoe]

According to Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy answer is 42 according deep thought and everything run by mice! Enjoy a Pan galactic gargle blaster the best drink in existence
In Independent friday Nov 8 1996 Charles Arthur science editor Yes the answer to the universe really is 42

[ArfyMcPeesh]

I was gonna say to annoy someone somewhere at least once.

Or possibly to reproduce to pass on your unique genes. And though I’m a virgin im pretty sure when I smash it will annoy the other person so I’ll get two in one

I don’t think there’s has to be a meaning to life in order to live. Seems kinda shallow tbh

Life seems shallow or needing a reason to live seems shallow?

[Sailor Mars]

Life seems shallow or needing a reason to live seems shallow?

Having to define life by one meaning seems shallow. Life should be what you make it, meaningful or meaningless, whatever suits you personally

[mattsmith48]

The is no meaning to human existence, humanity and its intelligence is just an accident in the long process of evolution and natural selection.

i think the meaning of life is to enjoy as many things as you reasonably can in your limited time on this earth

[mattsmith48]

That's not meaning that's a goal.

[ArfyMcPeesh]

The meaning of life is to reach 100 posts so you can dm ppl

[Xuan]

The meaning of life for me is to live a good life and being a Buddhist I believe in Rebirth. That is not the same as being reincarnated into like a transforming into another body after I die. In being reborn your body dies, but the atoms and molecules within your body live and take form and continue to live. So technically in the Buddhist faith those living molecules are your rebirth. I know for those who are not in that faith and have not gone through the teachings like I have since I have been little it sounds weird, but this is what I believe.

[Shiny Moon]

I think it depends on each person's philosophical and religious (or not) point of view.

I always try to enjoy my days as much as I can, I'm not sure what will happen when I die... so, in my case I'm alive to live as much and good as I can.

Mine is to reach 1 000 to get rid of this orange face :lol:

[Confused_panda]

Isn't 1000 the weird unwell green colour though? I'd say that's worse :lol:

[breaux]

The meaning of life depends on each and every person themselves.

[Jason2005]

Having to define life by one meaning seems shallow. Life should be what you make it, meaningful or meaningless, whatever suits you personally

The question is saying that there is a meaning, so what is it?

Growing up
Learning to love
Reproduction
Afterlife

In other words

To live.

[lliam]

Life basically is function.
But meaning is definition.

[THE_D3_4D_3Y_35]

Too bad for all the children dying of cancer. Too bad for those who are single. Too bad for infertile and gay people. Too bad for those who doesn't want to live forever.

[Confused_panda]

Sucks for all the children dying of cancer. Sucks for those who are single. Sucks for infertile and gay people. Sucks for those who doesn't want to live forever.

Wow that's impressively bleak

[Spooky_Eli]

Isn't 1000 the weird unwell green colour though? I'd say that's worse :lol:

It only gets worse after that.. then you get this grey green wrinkled face

[Confused_panda]

Maybe it's a meaning of life thing? The older and wiser (or more posts anyway) you become, the older and greyer you become...? Closed accounts should be a little tombstone

EDIT: That's a hell of a way for me to get to 100 anyway :lol:

I thought that too at first. But that's because I was mainly on P101

Then i realized there are other cool sections lol :)

[THE_D3_4D_3Y_35]

Wow that's impressively bleak

Well unfortunately, reality is much more bleak than what people make of it.

Now that's even more bleak haha.

[Confused_panda]

Now that's even more bleak haha.

I never said the bleak was a bad thing :lol:

[Falcons_11]

The fact that being alive is the true meaning of life.

[Uniquemind]

To understand the concept of living in a universe of limited perception of 2 but also at the same time deal with the concept of love and to make peace with that paradox; to recognize the paradox and the solution of it.


Notice how many things are ruled by the dichotomous structure:

It is or it isn’t.

It’s a winner or a loser, male or female, Rich or poor, powerful or powerless, the owner or the employee, socialism or capitalism, racist or not racist, sexist or not sexist, disabled or not disabled.


Notice that to a degree these are both correct models of seeing existence, but they’re also incorrect as well. We just force them to make sense so society can function, but you do end up ignoring the grey area of nature calling more complex designs of thinking fiction.

fair enough.

This seems to be the prevailing hypothosis.

hmm..so reproduction begets meaning?

So.. hedonism?

So.. utilitarianism?
The meaning of life depends on each and every person themselves.
but then how can the meaning truly mean something if it's only subjective?

So your saying that existance begets meaning?

Wise wordplayfrom liam as always.

The fact that being alive is the true meaning of life.
That's just a state of being tho, whatt i'm asking is what gives that state of being?

Umm... what?

[breaux]

you can't make one "true" meaning about something that is different in every person's mind

[Spooky_Eli]

you can't make one "true" meaning about something that is different in every person's mind

Of cause you can. facts exist seperate from perception. just because someone thinks something doesn't make it true.

[Oscar-V3.0]

The point of what?

[Spooky_Eli]

The point of what?

what you choose to do with your life... what point does doing anything have?

Help out people, save the planet, and get the satisfaction that you contribute to render the life of others better :)
(wow I'm philosoph tonight XD)
I believe what we do on earth determines what happens to us after we die

I am saying being given life by my parents is the most amazing thing in the world.

[NoLimitGuy]

If you search for the meaning of life then your life is meaningless but if you create the meaning of your life, then your life becomes meaningful...

Some might be incorrect while majority are correct... When you play game of life, you either win or you die...

[Pultost]

A bit more serious take on it, I've often asked myself what's the meaning of life. I mean, you get born, suddenly you are. You grow up and people around expect things from you. Do this, don't do that, as if I actually signed up for this. Don't get me wrong, now that I'm here I'm glad to be alive, but it's kinda funny when you think about it, I never asked to be born, yet I was, and now I only get more tasks and responsibilities as I get older. :P
