Meaning of Life

[omgitznpv]

I've always been thinking...What is the meaning of life...?

[Reach]

I came to the conclusion long ago that there is no common meaning. I see only relative meaning in life...meaning, it has meaning if you give it personal meaning.

I know there are many that enjoy the confortable feeling in holding faith to a common meaning of our existance, but I don't see things that way at all.

[msbrunnettemickey]

I see only relative meaning in life...meaning, it has meaning if you give it personal meaning.


What do you mean when you said "personal meaning"?

There is no meaning of life until you actually opened your eyes and lived it.
Meaning, you have to die in order to understand.
One day you would look down on Earth and you would say "So.. this is how i lived my life, and now i see the purpose".
Something always keeps us away from those answers, it's right under our noses but it's too tiny to see.

We could always make theories and guesses.

[Pumble]

The "meaning of life" is a pretty loose term. If there was an end-all meaning to life, i think it would be a little more complicated than dying and then looking back and saying "oh, there it is lol".

I really don't believe in a common "meaning of life".

[iggymatrixcounter]

Such a broad statement has many avenues in which to explore. For instance, one could say that the whole meaning, or purpose, to have is to have meaning. This would imply one's actions as they lived their life giving them purpose only if they believed it had purpose.

One could also take a religious stand and say that man's meaning to life is to serve a greater being in order to move on to a better life, one that implies to have more meaning than the first.

One may even dare to say that man's purpose in life is meaningless, that, in fact, there is no meaning, and we are here to simply exist, procreate, and expire. Life goes on but for what purpose would be the attitude of the theory in question.

Another, and certainly not the only, track would be a more humorous side. In an attempt to answer the question, the observer would answer the question literally and when questioned, "What is the meaning of life?" their response would be simply, "duh life is defined as living... now give me another beer."

Quite intriguing

well aren't you clever and original

[Reach]

''What do you mean when you said "personal meaning"? ''

It could be anything. It's personal...that's the point. Personal? Get it? Purpose. You could find meaning in anything. The meaning of life could be to live it happily.

So, not necessarily meaningless. If you feel your life has a purpose, then it has meaning. I don't believe in a common meaning.

To procreate and enhance the gene pool for future generations

Lets say what you REALLY mean.... to get lots of sloppy titties and moist vaginas. And I concur.

[gerilla]

To learn, pass on your knowledge, die, and wait in heaven for the ones you passed the knowledge to.

[iggymatrixcounter]

To learn, pass on your knowledge, die, and wait in heaven for the ones you passed the knowledge to.

I find the idea of Heaven almost contradictary to the answer to the meaning of life.

Let me tell you what I know:

1) you die after leading a life of certain standards

2) you go to heaven

3) when your there, you ask yourself, what's the meaning of heavenly life?

4) seriously does anyone know what you do when you go to Heaven (I ask only those who believe it and ask that you keep it semi non-religious because many people believe religion is a mandatory choice.)

Now we tie this in with this----
->I see only relative meaning in life...

I win at the meaning of life


[serious addition to the thread] My purpose in life is whatever I ****ing want it to be. Think about it for a minute and post something.[/serious addition to the thread]

[Bodom13]

when im stoned i can figure out the meaning of life. try that. :)

[jewpinthethird]

when im stoned i can figure out the meaning of life. try that. :)

Yeah, and when I was stoned I thought the slice of pizza I was holding was melting all over my hands.

As the meaning of life: 42 is not the meaning of life. 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. But not the meaning of life.

I dont see why people keep asking this question. It isnt going to be answered on an internet forum.

I just try not to think about it. Philosophy is stupid anyway.

yea i hate how everything makes sense... =.=
but thats probly the closest ill come to anwsering the meaning of life. so whatever :)

[Lightknight924]

Like it was said before. The meaning of life only has meaning if you put personal meaning to it.

What is 42 from?

[The_Q]

Back on topic, the meaning of life. What is it?

And why should I care?

I personally don't care what it is because, guess what. I live. If you ask me, that's all there is to it. I'm here. In the words of Douglas Adams (yes, 42 indeed) "whatever happens, happens."

O.o

[MonkeyFoo]

The meaning of life? The meaning of life is to give itself meaning. Life means to you what you make it mean. If you want to just say there's no point, then fine, your life has no meaning. But when you think about your life, you tend to find that whether or not your life means something to you, it is what you mean to other people that really counts for anything. From this point stems a major part of my own personal philosophy:

Because I am an atheist, and because I believe that when I'm dead that's the end, I don't find that my life really has meaning to me. I'm just here to serve the rest of society through multifarious contributions. Just a few of these are friendship and comeraderie, buying things, contributing ideas to general discourse, and eventually contributing to the production of products for everyone else to buy (I also believe that capitalism and democracy accelerate the improvement of society).

So I guess that to me, my purpose to the general people of the country centers around my abilities to add to our economy and public discourse. A few levels smaller in scale, I make people happy by being a friend, or a good student, or fulfilling some other small personal role that makes it easier for others to do their part in society, like giving good mornings and thank yous to people. This of course all feeds back into the countrywide scale again. From there up, our country can help make others happy in all sorts of ways ranging from simple trading, to aid donations, even to removing inhibiting factors to this happiness (though I don't endorse the war). So that's the meaning of my life in general, to help improve the status quo for mankind.

This is because the purpose of life in general is to improve itself. It's not a goal set by and god, but that is what makes life what it is. If the first life had not tried to improve, it would not have wanted to reproduce, as reproduction is a method to improve life. Because life developed to the point of intelligence via sexual reproduction, sex has become an instinctive way to better the species. That's where we get the argument that sex is the best thing we can do for life on earth.

However, we live in an age where, in modern society at least, evolution doesn't really happen because there's no natural selection. Thus, sex isn't a way to actually improve the race. There are still fine reasons to make love, though. First off, it perpetuates the race, without which there would be no purpose to anything. Secondly of course, it makes people feel good so we can, again, contribute to the betterment of society.

So basically, my homebrewed school of thought says that the individual alone means nothing, but as part of society the individual is a vital tool to improve life. This is true in all societies, and again I feel that capitalism strengthens the individual to foster more development and improvement of life.

Or maybe we're just an inconsequential race of hairy apes inhabiting the surface of a giant computer which was built to find out the question of life, the universe and everything. Nobody really knows.

One last thing...
It isnt going to be answered on an internet forum.
I'd call this an answer, but indeed there is a lot more depth than I could ever write. Or think.

Q

[Grandiagod]

In instinctual terms every animals life is based on having children. But assuming that human beings have rose a step up over ardvarks, I would have to say there is no one-size-fits-all universal philosophy.

[Triking]

I tried to respond to this question, but I don't think I could without offending anyone faithless persons out there. Those people, who write off God without so much as a second thought. I think the problem is, that faithless people are far to trusting. Grown in a post-modernist world, they trust the Greek philosophy taught in schools, and do not question what the teachers say.


I've been seeing lately, that more and more people are debating on whether creationism should be taught in schools. Particularly, on the origin of the universe. My thoughts on the matter? IT SHOULD NOT!

Repeating, no creationism should be taught in schools..

And, as far as the state is concerned, none is.

So why then, is the theory of evolution taught as a means to explain the origin of the universe? Is that not a violation of church an state? After all, what is creationism, but a philosophical theory attempting to explain the origin of the universe?

So why then, is evolution allowed to be taught, without a counter-point?

Evolution, though it has many readily apparent flaws and gaps, seen by the scientific community, if you look for them, is a fine theory.
I don't think that the theory should not be taught in schools... just because animals experience minor genetic changes that casually affect small strains of species over a certain period of time does not make the theory incompatible with God or Christianity. For all I know, God intended it to happen that way. Who am I to question God's motives?

It is only when the theory is taught as an explanation to the origin of the universe that a problem arises. It is a violation of church and state. When you use the theory to explain away God, it becomes a religion.

The theory is no longer an unbiased viewpoint of science, but a philosophy.

[Grandiagod]

Hmmm... maybe start a new thread about creationism vs. evolution. Or not, as religious debates are impossible to win and generally just cause problems rather than find solutions.

[Triking]

hey hey, I'm not placing a case for creationism vs evolution... As far as I'm concerned the two theories do not contradict each other, until you use evolution to explain the origin of the universe.

But perhaps a thread on seperation of church and state would be nice

And as for arguments being impossible to win? That's just silly, everyone knows that! That's why I don't argue.

[SethSquall]

I think the question of "what is the meaning of life" is the reason we have religion. I think way back someone asked the same question and felt out of place in the world, creating religion it gave him or her something to believe in, gave life a purpose. A meaning. I think its the reason why we feel most things. I’m no professor, scientist, priest or whatever. The meaning of my life? Or are lives? Or all life in general. Every living organism seems to contribute to the earth in someway. As we destroy it. Sorry for this ramble like. Humans seem to be the only things that feel love. Maybe love is something to justify a meaningless existence. Or maybe that’s a meaning in itself. Although you have to admit it makes perfect sense. The problem with this topic is that you not only start a debate about life, the meaning and the whys and why nots. You flare up everything that life involves. Which is everything you see around you.

Id love to talk about this, but I think its something you'd have to talk about in person, a forum just doesn’t cut it, or give the mood.

[Mindfields]

It means fun.

[Grandiagod]

It means fun.

Really good way to put it Mindfields. If you can't have fun living, why live?

[SethSquall]

It means fun.

Really good way to put it Mindfields. If you can't have fun living, why live?

Maybe people that have depression may find meaning in looking for happyness. Dont you think? Why live is like asking whats the meaning of life. Which takes us to were we started.

I wouldnt argue with you, im lazy. I will disagree with your statement though.

[-Skooter-]

I wasn't going to post in here. To be honest I don't see the point in asking questions like this.

A question like this, doesn't do anything but harm people. Never once, has wanting an answer that we don't really need, HELPED anyone.

It's one of those questions like "Does God really exist?" "Who made God", or "What happens after we die" and my personal favorite, "Do you think there's another life form?"

It's pointless to discuss, because no one has an answer. Not to mention, it's all opinion based anyways. Everyone is basically sharing their opinions.

I ask myself most of these questions a million times over, but to ask someone else, won't help me out. My suggestion, on a serious not, and not in an argumentative way... forget about it. Don't ask things like this. It's just all way too much for someone to have to deal with, when you know that in the end, the issue can't be resolved, it's impossible.

[omgitznpv]

I finally thought about it. It has no meaning to me. I think we just exist because this planet supports life. We just exist. ok? lol

And by the way, I was ****ing grounded for that month. Stfu.

[msbrunnettemickey]

Don't eat pork.

[clocktower]

i think the meaning of life is so god can see if u either go to heaven or hell. i mean, it's like a test. once u finish your test u pass or fail. passing is going to heaven. and failing is going to hell. it's just to see if u go to heaven or hell. that's what i think the menaing of life is. but im religious, some arent. but u should be, im christian.

[omgitznpv]

I thought that for a moment.

But know life just sux... :(

[chickendude]

I think life is a test to see whether you pass or fail

if you fail you die
if you pass, you still die, but happier

[Demon_Lord57]

"the meaning of life" hmm that a question that has been asked for ages yet no one has found out...because the people think to hard on that topic the blow it out of proportion the meaning of life is whatever you think it is...neone beg to differ with me?

[Neonatrias]

1) Welcome to the CT forum, DL. Try to use decent grammar through here -- it just makes it easier to read.

2) I say this thread has been worked out already. It's begun repeating itself. There is no set meaning to life, it's different for everyone and therefore it's not a solid topic for discussion. (IMO)

[Laharl]

2nd Nephi, Chapter 2, verse 25:

Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.

[dontcareaboutmyid]

meaning of life: go have sex.

[-Skooter-]

I used to be mormon, that's a crock of ****. As for Clocktower, stop trying to convert people.

[senate7377]

I believe that the meaning of everything (or life if you would prefer it phrased) is to discover the meaning of everything (or, once again - life).

Science - what is it? Simply put it is the process in which we discover and explore the world around us. Taking this into the religeous mixing bowl we'll continue to say that "Science" in a more modern form was "compiled" by monks to discover the workings of God and His creations. (I'm glad you kind of posed this thought becuase I tore a guy a new ass at Chrsitmas about removing Christ from Christmas and a lot of that has to do with this thought, so bear with it)

Today we look at sicence as something concrete and completely factual, however a lot of what we "know" really truely can not exist in the forms we know them as. What are things made of? Molecules. Which are made of? Atoms. Which are made of? Neutrons and Electrons. Which are made of? it goes on until you arrive at the string theory and thats too far off topic. Anway, we take things as concrete, when in fact we really can't prove nor disprove them no more than statements in the bible. Furthermore subjects of science like math have been proven to not totally work (in raw form). While math is donein a logical absolute process, the basics have been disproven; you can not state a partial number as a whole there fore you have fraction or more accurately decimals. Man had to create a representation to convey the process, decimals were not the work of God...though it should have been - maybe then Id do better at math.

Now, where God comes into play and the meaning of everything (at least this is how I feel about it) is (and we'll work backwards a little here...(and Im only using the bible as a reference point, not to "convert people")

The bible sort of states that there are X number of souls (something like 14 billion). you can take this as mans representation of "a bunch" and the author(s) just got tired of writing zeros; or take it to mean that it is a specific number of souls to draw from. We know that there is more than 14 million popel on the earth right now, and throughout time there couldve possible been a biollion times that number already having passed through. So where does the 14 billion souls thing become relevant (bear with.. I said were working backwards).

Lets think now about psychology and classifications of people. You have Neurosis, Psychosis, Delusional, Sociopathic, Manics.... but you also have the better counterparts to these mindsets... this has nothing really to do with much here other than to illustrate the classification of people.

So, you have X number of limited souls - classifications of people - logically we need to figure out how these two things correlate. Well... It is my opinion that God, having made only a certain amount of souls will take each soul and put parts of it in each of us. We sort of stress teest teh souls types. Since we all lead very different lives yet succumb to many of the same emotions it gives an accurate test reslut as to waht souls do.

Side tracking again to other aspects of these "test souls", we should also understand that perhaps God was bored up in Heaven. What good is it to rule and have power if all of yoru servent mindlessly obey you? Its not. Havent you ever gotten kind of bored with a friend who does everything you say simply becuae you say it? I know you have to know one person wh ois a complete yes man. Consider Angels Heans Yes Men. Its kind of boring so I figure that God, takes the souls nad put them in us, says "ok you will do this or you will not do that". Enter teh Old Testament...yada yada yada... we as humns fail him, woe are us..... Enter New Testament - Praise be to Jesus, Jesus is born.... new covenant where all things in the past and future will be forgiven BUT - youhave to accept that Chrsit did it for you (though sometimes I wonder if Jesus was an Angel or a Heavens Yes Man - he was "perfect and without sin (angel), he diligently obeyed everything that was told to him (angel), allowed himself to die simply becuase he was told to (angel)... see where its going here?) Anyway, we have free will. We can do as we please, go where we want, and think what we want to think.

God tells us to do this or not to do it, ultimately the choice is ours. Its a test to see if we behave if no one is looking. I'm sure he wants to see if a creation will love him because he is truely great and deserving of compassion, or does he need to keep yes men around who'll do what he says because he said so.

What this doesnt leave much room for is the fallen angel; Lucifer. How was lucifer cast down if Angels indeed ARE yes men. I guess the same way Agent Smith broke away from the Matrix. He was made aware of his own concsiousness seperate fromteh Matrix and used the powers for the forces of eeeeeeeeevil.

Now - weve got the souls, the segents, classifications of people... then eding of it all. I suppose that will come when God feels hes collected enough data to determine if we as humans are worthy to collectively reside in heaven or better be able to hand pick those worthy. Those who will do as they are asked because they are eager to do it, vs those who do it becuas they feel thay have no option. Its like working until 5 because you HAVE to or working until 8 because you want to. Its a more productive heaven.

The statement about how God created man in His image, I feel means taht God made us how he thinks we should work. At no other point in the bible does God or Jesus say anything about how we loo klike God, but it does talk an awful lot about the things God has made and created for us to be hapy on earth with. These same things were also created in Hisimage. I guess if you take the statement about how God is in everything, God COULD look like a big red apple, but I find that an unlikely thing (and there are somethings Id like to NOT think God looked like - if God was in EVERYTHING... well... use your imagination.) It means God is in everything we hold dear...everything we have is because of God - thats what the statement means I think.

All of this together (and I know it was segmented and scattered, but I hope you understood what I was saying... I did), and basically were all LARPing for God so that he can determine if we as humnas love him becuase were told or because we DO love Him. Free will determines our level of spiritual integrity and the fact that Chrsit died on the cross was his act of incentive. Showing us that He loves us as much as we should want to love him (i.e. Abraham being asked to sacrifice his own son before God)

The only thing I can think of that this wouldnd tie up a loose end on is the questio "all of this sort of makes sense in a way but then if God is such a good person and if he loved us, why do bad things happen to good people?"
Great question, glasd I asked. Personally ... not everyone ids good and payback is a bitch. Im not everyone so to give a better answwer than my smartass one, I'll say that God lets bad things happen to good people becuae their time is up. theyve served their purpose, there could be enough data on a particular classification of soul so there is no more need for it on earth adn as a reward they get out of hell free.. I dunno. I do know that while bad things do happen, here on earth the survivors go on and have learned to cope. In doing so they've helped many many others deal with the same probelms or tragedies. A mother who has lost her daughter to a drunk driver, could go on and be the same person that pushed to pass a bill against it, in turn saving 50-100 lives in a year. We may not see it, but it is a viable reason. Yes it hurts us, but it is for the greater good, and according to the bible, sitting there all pissed off and upset about how WE feel isnt too ... Godly. So it really shouldnt affect us and keep us from being motivated to do those kinds of things anyway. Unfortunately sometimes things go south and we get that push to be a philanthropist.

So.. yeah.... were LARPing for God. God has his white lab coat on, looking down as the X number of classified souls LARP. its sort of ****ed if you look at it that way, but... can we change it? nope.


If you wanted something more nonsecular - The meaing of everything is nothing. In its true form, meaning are useless labels we apply to things to make them more tangable. We can't look at something and blankly stare. We assume that there is a meaning to it.

SITUATION

A White piece of paper in a frame in an art gallery. People will stare at it and mutter to each other - Whats it mean, what is it, what does it represent. One person may blurt out that the piece represents purity in it natural form. An image of what you first see when you are born. The face of God. An imagination of a child. In time the group will discuss it and come to a general aggreeance as to waht the meaning is. Now, this whole time the artist has had no verbal input, and actually isnt even around to hear the group discuss the work.

A week later the artist and the group meet. The group states that the piece is representing what a child sees the very instant it opens its eyes. That it represents the imagination of a child. that as you stare at the work your mind places nonexistant objects and creates false balances within it. The artist listens intently and sit down adn stares at the work again. Upon standing up, the artist says "actually I didnt give it a meaning, it is simply white paper".

See, so not everyting has a meaning, but we give it one becuase we are compelled to . We can not go on knowing that there are things that simply are just ther with no reason or maening at all. To make that really simple : things have meaning because collectively we give them one. When man runs out of things to define he turns to the one collectively unanswerable question: "What is the meaning of life". It drives us, keeps us going and gives us a purpose. In a sense the meaning of life is the question that answers itself with itself. The meaning could be to continually ask the question and forever search for an answer that does not exist.

NOTE: Again I only used God and the religeous sense of the question to better explain and illustrate my form of an answer to the original question. nothing more.

So you mean starting right after that post or what?

[zachisevil]

damn tokzic you are an ass, funny though.
I dont believe there is a meaning to life, we have not come to this earth with a guide book or anything, and we also act on our free will. Morality is a social concept so it is not to be good, so i guess maybe the meaning of life is also socially derived and changes over time. So it goes with what reach says except with a society and not an individual. I dont think there are universal truths with humans

[senate7377]

I dunno... in a way I dont believe in free will... everything is a series of programs that instinctively go off and happen wihtout makeing a conscious choice. In the end... all i know is... I dont really care what anything means. All it does is add more stress to a world where most of the existing stress is pointless. Simplicity is key.

As for the grammar. I'll try and work on that... I just type fast and really dont feel like going back and editing typos just ot make someone elses life easier. If you know what I'm saying or trying to say, then thats good enough for me.

And to this discussion... I did not read it. Frankly, I think I'd want to pistol whip at least half of you if I did. Anyway... if this thread is going to continue going in a religious nature instead of the unreligious topic of original discussion, I'm going to lock it. Please try and use intelligent ways of expressing yourself. This is CT, not the GB. Less profanity, more explanation and patience with our fellow discussors.

Thanks.

Tassels right. I didn't mean to be offensive, and hopefully you don't take this as offensive either, but I don't care where I stand on your list.

If you have faith, how I feel about your religion, really shouldn't matter.

Tass is also right in the fact that I am a girl :)

engh, i wasnt trying to bring religeon directly into it, just use it as an illustrative means to better conveythe idea I had. I could care less what anyone believes when it gets to that area, its their choice to believe or not believe what they want to. Personally The Flying Spaghetti Monster sometiems sounds like a good idea.

Yes... life is a lesson, yada yada yada. Not everyone learns from it and it holds the rest of us back. Just another example of the minority leading the majority to ruin.

lolz we go to sleep and we report to God at night and we tell him we've been bad kids and then he punishes us and we all go to hell.

Well actually, the whole lesson is just doing good enough in life to get into heaven. Right?
And if you do horrible and you fail in life you go to hell.
Or as some religions believe... we go back to Earth and we start stuff all over again.

(Didn't mean to get religion in here, sorry)

This whole thing has gone on long enough. I believe we have found out what every other person who has debated this has found out. We really don't know. And even if we think we do, no one will agree on anything anyway.
