What Is The Meaning Of Life?

simple i'm bac and the meanning of life is to live it!!!!!!!!!!!111

Life is like a recipe...The more you fill it with spices, the better it tastes...

i personally think the meaning of our existence is to create the perfect being. We have been evolving for millions of years. We are meant to keep evolving until the perfect being is created. But what that being is needed for, I do not know.
adios

i do not intend to disrupt harmony in this thread.. i would just like to ask (innocently) why it is that you have a thirst to obtain the knowledge of the meaning of life. Can you not just accept the great gift that you have recieved and live each day to the fullest?

My brother, my baby brother. You sound just like me cry

Aliens mixed their DNA with simian DNA, as a result creating what you now know as humans. Hence the missing link being unfound and unexplainable. Our meaning being to continue.

Actually I got that idea from an album. Completely false but interesting nonetheless.

Aliens... also an element of my fella's thoughts on the subject 😕

Note, he's not insane, just imaginative.

I think the above idea is much more realistic than a lot of BS that the conspiracy theorists of the world come up with. It's almost outlandish enough that it makes more sense everytime you think about it.

If you really wanted to, you could probably convince a lesser mind, or most minds, that it was realistic.

✅ One of those 'so impossible that it's possible' theories? Whether it's true or not, it makes for a very interesting discussion.

Not so much 'So possible that it's possible', just that it's interesting and I'm sure that there's enough there to convince a few people.

That's a fundamental flaw in human psychology.

'The bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be believed'.

wasn't that said by hitler right hand man???

I believe it was. Goebbels.

The meaning of life is to learn to not pee the bed when you pass out drunk.

The meaning of life is to keep on trying and never give up..

well thats what i think we are here to amuse the gods dont let them laugh at YOU.

If these Gods want to laugh at you, I'm pretty sure there's nothing you could possibly do to stop them 🙂

Mwahahahahaha

Its true. I laugh at my sea monkies.

Yup, why do philosophers seek the meaning of life when there's enough stimulation in merely observing daily life? The finding of official meaning of life, will simply cast all of life into a simple reason for existence, which will just create a fight over the actual meaningfulness of the very reason.

I don't think life needs any meaning - it is enough of a presence without a superimposed meaning.

What do you think?

Not all philosophers seek the meaning of life alone. Its usually something beyond that. There is no single meaning of life. It's not possible to live for only 1 thing your entire time being alive. What happens if you finish early? Then what?

IMO, meaning is unavoidable. To say, "There is No Meaning to life," is still a conclusion by which one can bring meaning into one's existence. This aside, even if there is an overriding "Meaning of Life" in the traditional sense, this still doesn't mean everyone marches to the same drummer. Life/Reality/Existence is an infinite story in which we all play our parts.

However, if I were to try and pin down some kinda definite Meaning to it all, I would start from the observation that the Universe appears to have--despite entropy-- a strong tendency toward self-organization into higher and higher-level wholes. An evolutionary directive? Perhaps.
