There is no meaning to life because a meaning implies a creator with intentions.

 

Life is just a coincidental arrangement of molecules.

 

^This is true.

 

The meaning of life is to grow up' date=' find a mate, and reproduce. Thats it. Everything we seem to do is made for the future generation's life. Even war is to make the generation of the countries fighting the war better. If you REALLY look at a human, all we REALLY do is just make children and raise them. All the other things are secoundary. A human's meaning is, at it's most basic level, to create more humans, to continue the speices, and die. [/quote']

 

^This isn't.

 

If you REALLY look at a human, you'd realize that the logic, the adaptive logic we have separates us from animal traits indefinitely. We can create our own purpose, due to our ability to perceive something to be purposeful. If we were mindless, our only cause for existence would be reproduction. However, we're not, so yeah. Flawed argument.

 

Prolonging existance of bloodline and/or race is simple instinct. It isn't the meaning of life, only means to prolong life.

 

Life doesn't have a meaning unless you perceive for it to have one, on an individual level. Anything higher implies what Horus said.

 

^Based upon that, yes, reproduction could be the meaning of life, but only to you. It doesn't have objective means to the mass population.

 

The meaning of life isn't specific, and is only based upon what someone dignifies their purpose as.

 

=/.

 

/topic. =P.

The meaning of life is 42.

 

The meaning of life is to be born' date=' pay taxes and die.[/s']

 

There is no meaning of life.

 

... And I'm repeating myself.

 

Life has meaning, as long as you perceive for it to.

 

However, life has no mass objective means. Only individual means.

 

Seriously. =/.

There is no meaning of life. We were born only to die, because, it's that simple. If we were immortal, then we would be screwed, because then we really would wish to die. So here is a message for all the the people who think they are the best out there:

There is no point in Life, there is no point in Death, there is no point in Love, and there is no point in Hate, for we all suffer the same fate that has been created by Destiny.

The meaning of life?

There is none. Only death has a meaning. We die to make space for the young hoolagins. Its that simple.

 

1) Don't act smarter than you actually are.

 

2) Read a thread before posting in it

 

3) I already gave at-least some philosophical stand-point to the fact that life has meaning' date=' and you just come along like "Life haz noes meaning cause I says soes." So, obviously, give evidence to what you say.

 

4) Death actually doesn't have meaning?

 

I'll repeat myself.

 

[b']Death has no meaning without legacy. [/b]

 

... Yeah. Can't miss it.

 

There is no meaning of life. We were born only to die' date=' because, it's that simple.

[/quote']

 

Misinterpretation of the word meaning. We weren't born to die, for death wouldn't invoke grief if that were true. We were born for no specific, generic purpose, obviously. However, by your logic, it means that for your life's meaning to be existent, it'd have to be pre-determined, pre-planned, and pre-acknowledged. Yeah, kind of like that Christian stuff. =P.

 

No, for what we perceive to be, is. If you perceive that the meaning of your life was to teach young children to read, than that's the meaning of life to you. People misinterpret it in the sense that life doesn't have a globalized meaning, as apposed to having an independent one.

 

=/.

 

If we were immortal' date=' then we would be screwed, because then we really would wish to die.

[/quote']

 

You'd wish to die if you were immortal?

 

Come on. You can live the most sinful life conceivable, not be bound by law nor execution, and know that your beyond what could apparently be God's judgment. Immoralities tops, man. Even if it is permanent.

 

^Oh, right. Immortality has close to nothing to do with the meaning of life. Since death is obviously not life's meaning, for death is destiny. It's what awaits, but not the end-all be-all of our being. It's illogical beyond comparison to consider death a means of purpose.

 

So here is a message for all the the people who think they are the best out there:

 

And obviously' date=' you're ego isn't clogging up the thread either. No, couldn't be.

 

There is no point in Life, there is no point in Death, there is no point in Love, and there is no point in Hate, for we all suffer the same fate that has been created by Destiny.

 

 

No point in death? Didn't you just say life's only purpose was death?

 

You sir, have already proven your own inability to debate.

 

There is no point in love, nor hate, but there is no point in believing destiny is even close to being real.

 

Destiny is once again, a sort of Christian concept. That life has it's own plan set out, prior to our engagement with it.

 

Lololol. Life doesn't have it's own consciousness, it doesn't have the ability to create a life, a full life, for everyone spawned.

 

No, destiny is ruled out by simple independence, that our actions are the result of our thinking, and all events prior.

 

If destiny were real, I think it would be smarter than to create war, poverty, or Brittany Murphy. =/.

 

I'm still rather dumb-struck that someone actually believes in Destiny over coincidence. =/.

There is no meaning to life but what meaning we make for it

 

This. Plenty of people live meaningless days, living day after day making nothing of themselves other then oxygen breathers.

 

Off-topic: Why is this in debates? Did the meaning of the word "debate" change over my time in hibernation?

 

"A regulated discussion of a proposition between two matched sides." (Miriam-Webster, retrieved October 22, 2008 )

 

It still means the same thing, right? There aren't any two sides being argued here, and we're not discussing a proposition. So... what gives?

there is no meaning to life.

Human's only look for a meaning to life so they can feel some level of importance in this world before they die and pass onto the next.

 

Wrong. You refer to humans as if we were simple creatures. Fact is' date=' we're not. For we can perceive, for we can understand as well as we can logically think. We're above the level of mindless reproduction to prolong life, simply because we might be the only [b']logical[/b] trace of life in the universe. I mean, do you think a wombat knows there's other planets in the solar system? Do you think it even know's the cities beyond it's habitat? No, it doesn't. We, however, do. For knowledge is power, to which we've claimed.

 

Besides that, the meaning of life isn't necessarily something of importance. For the meaning of life is just how you perceive life's meaning to be. Essentially speaking, you perceive life to have a meaning of nothing, thus, that's life's meaning to you.

 

Either way, what life's meaning is always something.

 

Since life's meaning does actually mean what life means to you, which is in essence, always something.

 

Even if it is nothing.

 

The only misinterpretation is everyone considers there to be a global meaning of life. A meaning to which everyone can acknowledge as the meaning of life. No such thing exists, for life's meaning is all individual.

 

Yeah. =P.

 

There is no meaning to life but what meaning we make for it

 

This. Plenty of people live meaningless days' date=' living day after day making nothing of themselves other then oxygen breathers.

[/quote']

 

Exactly. It's what life means to you, and unlike what most people think, the meaning of life is something you create. People assume it'll be given to them in some weird orthodox way, however, it's simply what we perceive life's meaning to be.

 

 

Off-topic: Why is this in debates? Did the meaning of the word "debate" change over my time in hibernation?

 

Was in Polls I think' date=' Raven trialed it in debates. Obviously, it doesn't work, but it's less clogged when in here.

 

Also, responses are generally more intelligent.

 

.. Kind of.

 

"A regulated discussion of a proposition between two matched sides." (Miriam-Webster, retrieved October 22, 2008 )

 

It still means the same thing, right? There aren't any two sides being argued here, and we're not discussing a proposition. So... what gives?

 

It's more an open discussion, to which people pitch their theories. Then, naturally presuming, peoples theories will collide, causing an argument of a debateful nature. It's not debating to the finest tee, but it's close enough.

 

=/.

 

Only difference is most people have mindless come here, said life has no meaning, and haven't bothered returning to back up their opinion.

 

Presumably after I've replied to it. Which I've done.. 5? times now.

i believe the meaning of life is to find the meaning of life. then a paradox appears' date=' which means that if you [i']do[/i] find it then there will be no need for life to exist and time will start to unravel from its foundations...

 

*looks behind him*

 

crud, its happening now. >.<

Waitwaitwait.

 

Did I gloat in my statement? I actually didn't. To honest, I have an ego that's relevant to the size of a Hermit Crab. Which means I didn't try to make myself better than you, for your post lowered you below me. An unevidential post in DEBATES does that. Simple enough. I WAS however mentioning how you were the third person to present no claim as to why life's meaning is nothing.

 

Also, I'm not two years old. Belittling someone who addressed your opinion, and gave you advice, is more immature. So yada-yada-yada, you're more of the child than myself.

 

Plus, I'm 16, nearly 17, so I don't really need to take crap from 12 year old Yu-gi-oh lovers. Please don't tell me you're not, for being a 16 year old Yu-Gi-Oh lover that pretends to be a Ninja is worse.

 

Oh, right. You see, I've found my 'click' on the internet. It's a bit of Willieh, a bit of Static, a bit of everything.

 

The only difference is I CHOOSE not to make myself friends with those I don't want to.

 

Ie: You.

 

=). Seriously, grow up. Don't whine because someone addressed something you did negatively.

 

Also, lol@thelogicthatshuttingupgivesyoufriends.

 

=).
