I am going to try and sum all that up in a single sentence: You believe that there is a meaning to life, but that it beyond human comprehension. Is this correct, or no?

In a way. I would say that it's beyond any one worldly notion, and that may compound meaning. Thing is, from what I can garner, so many consider "meaning" essential to their lives without considering that a meaning may be a reason to live as much as it is to not live - it's our choice to assign meaning and to thereby determine our actions. Our emotions, or at least the places from which they stem, are inseperable in my eyes (at least, in one way to another - they can be seperated in more obvious accounts), and what we choose to do with our emotions in this sulking yet effusive world is just that - rather up to us. We can by volition allow ourselves to rely upon some intangible and unknown deity or just release and rely upon ourselves - not any one given nature, but being before meaning and essence. Or, rather, finding spiritual structure through inner reflection rather than the supernatural. In my opinion, how we find meaning in life is more or less up to us and not up to any one consensus or omnipotent overseer if that be so.

And since I see it as up to one, I myself simply choose to say that if humans haven't figured it out and have this amalgamation of wordly notions to use and only those things, that it may be beyond something we could link together or fathom. "Meaning" is indeed a term conceived by life on this level. It might not be as simple as something we could discern.
 
The meaning of life... Does everyone have a purpose? Yes. To the simpletons, it's to choose what you believe is right or wrong, to fufill the obvious.


However, to me, life is a non-stop, fleeting dream. In life, we spontaneously inherit one another's genetics from our past incarnations. The born rule is to portray what you discover in life and if given it has a description, you would adapt to the unconscious world we live in by expirementing each other on the conscious level of vibration. But for some, known as complete ingeniuses, see life on a higher plain of actual conciousness that is merely suppressed by the average traits of humankind, as it is seen un-fit because of rejection of new ideas/fearing for naught, impostors, dictations... this is the reason that only 3.0% truly ascend to heaven. Inspiration, rhythm, beauty... these all define life for it is not a mystery, it is a familiar mystery that you shall not abuse. Life is a graceful sequence composed by your vitals, your temple, your feelings and it's a privelge to dream, you're ever invited. God gave you this right to flourish and pass your graceful seed to the next generation. Don't let society tell you to be ashamed nor dictate upon your rights as a free thinking expirement but yet do not be dumbfounded by impostors. We are all one consciousness and God is in us and will always be everything.
 
I'm just going to say there isn't a meaning to anything at all unless you give it a meaning. What meaning you happen to give it is up to you.

Are you saying that's the meaning of life or are you just laughing at the topic? I can't tell :P

I am so chuffed that I worked that out though, I know some of you may thing it's not hard, but when I looked at that first, it just looked like a random collection of letters to me :P
 
Well I don't know about you guys but I think I was born because my mom and dad were getting a little frisky.
XD
And I think my purpose is to enjoy my life to the fullest and to achieve my goal of owning my own apartment/house, having a job in the computer support field(which I am already working towards by going to a technical high school and taking computer programming and web development) and meeting the girl of my dreams(but I think I have already fulfilled that because I have been dating Steph for about 2 and a half years now and we talk about having are own apartment together).
^_^

Maybe Mewcario seriously believes Chicken Nuggets = the Meaning of Life? You shouldn't be jumping to conclusions, even if they are rational.


@ emoakt: Good for you! (Not being sarcastic here).

That's probably both the greatest reply I've seen to this thread and one of the most inspirational statements I've seen in a very long time.

AAAAH!!!! All this boggles me!

So guys, have you come to a conclusion with life's meaning? Or was this more of a show-and-tell of opinions than a debate...

Intended to be show-and-tell, but most people don't seem to get that...how can I make it clearer?

And yes, this is a quite obscure manga reference.

Right. *flicks through nearest manga comic* Oh wait, I don't have any. Wait a sec...*runs upstairs and rifles through cupboard* Ooh, the Electric Tale of Pikacu! *flicks through it*

Not in there. :/

Mind telling the manga-retarded of us (ie me) what that exactly means? When you get to the end of the toothpaste, are you dead?
 
It means that you must live life to your fullest, not letting anything go to waste.

You didn't need to know anything about the manga. Just a little of philosophy would be enough. ♥
 
I think it was first mentioned on Hitchiker's Guider to the Galaxy...

It's also been on Brainiac Science Abuse.
