.Corgi Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 The meaning of life...? To be a sadistic joke made by reality that makes the living things ask weird questions like "What is the meaning of life?" on internet forums named by japaneese trading cards. That, my friends, is the meaning of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meaning of life and gravity are two totally different things. The meaning of life isn't a natural phenomenon physically like gravity is. [/quote] Again, some could disagree. It all depends on what exactly one means by 'the meaning of life' and how they approach that definition. From a scientific standpoint, the meaning of life is the prolonged survival and thriving of the human race. From a theological standpoint, the meaning of life is dedicating oneself to God. The variation is not in the meaning itself, but what people deem the explanation of that phrase. The general trend is to fulfill oneself, in whatever context you choose to put that.

Tourmaline Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 It's already been stated, but the meaning of life really is reproduction, I think. Anyways, humans are just animals, so we shouldn't be expected to not have base, animalistic instincts. The most base animal instinct is the one to survive to eventually reproduce and keep their species alive. Even the other animal instincts are primarily based on surviving. It really is a subjective topic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master White Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 To me, Life's meaning is to repeat everything over and over just to irritate the H*ll out of you....Think about it, its close to repeating again. US evolved, devolved, evolved, and now going to devolve again. @Tsukasa Hiiragi:*you jump off and you survive as a flattened pancake b/c death is on vacation for a week....* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Life to me is like being in a Spotlight. You have your 80-100 Years to make a mark on this world and then you die. If you made a good mark then the next Generation will be more happy. If you are a douche then meh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFauKorean Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 lol another thesis i've went through conservation and memories at first id say conservation as the root meaning to life, because if humans become extinct because our impact on the world or any outside force trying to exterminate us, then there is no meaning to life because we simply dont exist. So learning to survive by thinking a few steps ahead, using history as guidelines. but on the other hand its a bit shallow to think we are the tools of creation and destruction and it is our job to choose a conservative path. seriously is our entire lives are based on history lessons then were kind of just waiting for our deaths to leave a mark. so then.... memories. life means nothing without the memory of you living it. the good, the bad, the ugly. ever see the movie 50 1st dates? theres a character in there named 10 second tom. his life isnt life, its torture and he dosnt even know it. alzheimers? that is probably the most twisted disease in the world, its worse than death to think you'll live the days and nights of you life and not ever remember a thing, your life was blank with no self identity. the worst part? you dont even know its torturing you untill someone tells you it is. imagine if your father or mother had died while you had alzheimers and you cant remeber, you keep asking others where they are and they tell you they've passed away. you experience the loss of family every single day.

BehindTheMask Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 My thoughts upon writing this is not to argue about any religious/philosophical systems, rather it is to explain what I've been thinking for a while. It is my own personal reasoning to the "meaning of life." Take it as what it means to you. Existence is nothing more than perception. The idea of self, from the idea of existence, is explained quite nicely by Dennet(http://cogprints.org/266/0/selfctr.htm). By this, I mean that life is the sum of what we are told from our 5 sensory appendages. What we experience, is the combined effort of our sensory preceptors and our own personal thoughts. The problem I have with other means of answering the "meaning to life" is that they answer the question "Why are we here(and What are we here for)." I believe this to be not the ideal way to handle the "Big Question." I answer the "Big Question" with my own question of "What should I do? As the Christians would say, the reason we are here is because of God.Therefore, we should lead a life based upon the principles of the bible. The meaning of life is to serve God, based upon the ideals set in the bible, so we can be rewarded with eternal bliss(Heaven). I could continue with the other religions, but I won't. The reason I brought this up it show, what I think, is the though process to answering "The Big Question." Their reasoning is to show the answer to the question "Why are we here?" is the basis of "What should I do?" I disagree with the approach. I approach the answer to Why we are here? with my answer to What should I do? Quite frankly, I answer it quite plainly. What do I want to do? There you go. Problem Solved, well for at least for me Answer that question, and you open doors for your self discovery. So, you may disagree with me, and that's fine. This isn't a just an explanation of what I believe. When I answered the question What do I want to do?,I was like "Enjoy life." You might think I became a hedonist, but you'd be wrong. You might have thought, that I became an existentialist, but that is also wrong. You might think I am still am a symbolic satanist, but you are half wrong. I am a sensationalist. HUH? A Sensationalist? Isn't that a "the ethical doctrine that feeling is the only criterion for what is good"(taken from google define). Well, sorta. I actually have a different definition, and its "its a personal philosophy, that one uses to live through sensation." When I listen to music, the sound waves vibrate and what not, and my ear interpret these waves, and my brain decodes it all. The experience of that all is what I life for! My life is the sum of my emotions, the sensory perceptions, my memory, my own ideals. Why not make full use of that? Why care about the other big questions? I'd rather go out and enjoy every sensation, the bitterness of a granny smith apple, the sounds of birds chirping at 5 am on a warm summer morning. The sight of two young lovers, embracing hands, walking in a park. That's why I am here. I mean to say, why should we be solely work on or strive for salvation, personal goals of trying to achieve that will ultimately matter not, when you can EXPERIENCE life. [i] So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
