What's the meaning of life?

if meaning of life refers to the purpose of life, i hold it to this:

-creating something to pass on as an expression of yourself, pretty open-ended. in the form of art, which itself is open-ended, children, etc.
-being courageous, and having wisdom: know what is "good" and "bad"; moderation of everything, including moderation; practicing selflessness as well as selfishness
-and trying to learn as much about eveyrthing as possible.

i think everyone lives by at least one of these one way or another, maybe without knowing it

Attemp to find out your own personal truths while you are still alive. Do not rely on the slim possibility there is an after life.

Your right, but the breathe of our universe far exceeds the human body.

I've come to understand that faith is a driving force for the capabilities of man, but remain pledged for truth.

I think the mere fact that we can ponder "the meaning of life" shows that something went drastically wrong in our species evolutionary process. Shouldn't we be blindly reproducing and killing other species as to keep the earth in a perfect equilibrium? If that were the case our planet and specie would be in better shape.


I don't really believe that human consciousness displays proof of a higher being. More than anything I think it's just a random anomaly that will fail and lead to a better ruling specie on this planet. That is if we don't destroy the planet along with ourselves, but that's such an arrogant thought. To think that us, a random evolutionary event, could fuck up the very process that created us; but in many ways we've already done that.


...wait, what?

as long as my level of pleasure and happiness outweighs the bad i dont care haha

Why are we here?

That's the question. Most of the replies I've seen have to do with personal fulfillment. What about the grand scheme of things? What are we here for as a whole?

I believe the meaning of life is to love and serve our fellow human beings.

We are here to survive, we are here to live. To find purpose, to create our own essence. To reach the targets we set for ourself. To progress. We search for meaning, for truth, for our beliefs. This is life.

for me the i would say there is no meaning. It is what you make of it. The purpose of life is different for different people. But whatever your personal purpose is I would venture to say most people would agree that if you do not help others along the way that your personal purpose is meaningless.

btw nice pic reefer rouge.
