The person who asks the question usually knows what answer they want so they would rather go along with a badly argued, facile answer that broadly agrees with their viewpoint than a well argued, considered answer that thye don't agree with. Just like life, most people side with what they are comfortable with, not what is actually most wise.

(Please bear in mind that, like everyone else, I will choose the answer I am most comfortable with, but only if it is well argued in my case.)

now I'm sure some people agree with me and many people disagree with me but in my own opinion the meaning of life is mearly that...life. When someone thinks of the purpose of a hammer is to mainly pound nails into an object for any reason they are right. When someone else thinks the reason of a hammer is to break things they are right. When someone else thinks the meaning of a hammer is to be used as a weapon they would also be correct. There is no rule book to say what exactlly a hammer is used for so why would human life have only one meaning? The human life is there and it does what it does. There can not be any other way other than no life at all. I think every person has a personal purpose. If you spend your life saving people in Africa from starving then to you the meaning of life is to say people in Africa from starving. The same goes for rappers or drug abusers. For me, my purpose is to get out of school with degrees, get a great job, and live a life with a family.

Who else thinks this phrase is completely idiotic? The purpose of a cake is to be eaten, not to look pretty or to smell nice or to take up space.

Is there any philosopher with a clear mind and concerned enough with ppl's problems, to take what's happening in the World, put it in historical context, and show the path to follow? Or are such philosophers extinct (such as Ortega y Gasset)?
