  • The meaning of life is to find the meaning of life.

      A lot of people spend most of their lives searching for the meaning of life. The joke is that there is no universal meaning of life. You can however find purpose; something that will drive you; a reason to wake up and continue living another day. And so, in reality, you have the power to create your own personal meaning of life.

    I think the point is to love and be loved.

    To learn and Grow from experiences and digest it mentally to make annual conclusions. Just listen to the song from the TV show "FRIENDS" "I'll Be There For You!" by The Rembrandt's on You Tube!

    There is definately no point.

    We are a biochemical accident; most likely the product of some superior species' waste landing on our earth in a fertile moment.

    Humans are frail and vastly insignificant, and in a universal perspective we are not even a blip.

    That being said, have as much protected sex as possible, don't get married, don't have children, make good money then when u die give all your money to a good person.

    Done

  • The point of life is to live and fight for something you believe in, try to better the world in your own ways. Find a way to be remember and leave your mark forever.

    When I was younger I came up with one theory. It's not so much that life has purpose, but life gives purpose. Without life, nothing has any point to it. With no life to recognise the fact that the universe exists, it may aswell not exist. With no life to use water as a nutrient water has no point to it, without life to gaze at the stars the stars have no point to it, with no life to breathe oxygen oxygen has no point to it. Anyway that's obviously not the meaning to life but it's one of the only thoughts I've come up with that make sense on the matter :)

    To live. But then again, everyone lives for something different, it's just a matter of time till you find it.

    I think about this topic a lot. What's the point of working your butt off to just die in the end? I mean seriously, why are we even on this planet if we're just here to make mistakes and die in the end?

    If people believe life has meaning then they inadvertantly believe in a higher power, there is no point, we die and the earth keeps rotating.

    Not sure if there is a point. But, help someone along the way whenever you can. Take care of yourself. And remember, the meek will inherit nothing.

    stop worrying about what life is really about because the fact is no one has a fucking clue! religious types will try jump down your throat with all kinds of bull shit but i tend to boil it down to
    -> its easier to be nice that it is to be a cunt
    -> you cant respect someone who doesnt respect themselves so ladies, put some clothes on unless you want guys to disrespect you (if you do thats still cool)
    -> LOVE every minute and try and stay positive (the worlds fucked up but try not to let it get you down)
    -> its not WHAT is around you, its WHO.

    Personally, after an enlightening experience, i see the world like this: we work a shit job we hate so we can afford to buy shit we dont need. this is what (western) society believes is what life is all about but i think its all about enjoying what little time we have and not waste it worrying about the material bull shit just enjoy your own exsitence :) the sooner you can enjoy just being the better really

    hope this made sense to you

    peace and love!

    Life is what you make of it. Find out what your interests are and pursue them.

    You will find your purpose in life when you least expect it.

    Whatever you do, don't just be a 'filler' stealing oxygen. Get out there and make a difference to people's lives.

    I love the Pay It Forward film.
