...whatever you see you see
...smile, and say...

...there is no meaning

Answer 2

42

Answer 3

42

Answer 4

Life is the characteristic state of organisms. Properties common to terrestrial organisms (plants, animals, fungi, protists and bacteria) are that they are cellular, carbon-and-water-based with complex organization, having a metabolism, a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and—through natural selection—adapt.

An entity with the above properties is considered life. However, not every definition of life considers all of these properties to be essential. Broader definitions of life sometimes include viruses (which are acellular and do not metabolise) and theoretical non-carbon-based life or other alternative biology. Human-made analogs of life (alife) may also be considered to be life.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Asking what the meaning of life is implies that life itself is a question or is not defined.

life
NOUN:
pl. lives
The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism.


If you meant to ask, what is the purpose of humanity as a whole being alive, it is to reproduce. If you meant to ask what is your philosophy about your purpose in life, my philosophy is that I am a part of a bigger collective within existence and I seek to make that collective more capable than it already is to do anything it wishes, and bring more understanding to that collective.

Answer 7

All life plant and animal exists to reproduce and expand and advance to the limit's of it's capabilities in competition with other species and sub-species. Violence and death are an important part of nature. we must all look out for ourselves and our kind only. We are in competition with other sub-species of humans for the same terrortory and resources. The human species like all species plant or animal is divided into competing sub-species we call races. German sheppards and poodles are both dogs but they are not equal in strength, intelligence, size, or tempernment. The same for chickens and eagles and caucazoids and negroids. Each species and sub-species and in fact each individual has it's own strengths and weaknesses.

The most destructive ideology is christ insanity since it leads it's followers to suicide. It is a death based anti-nature religion designed & promoted by jews to destroy their enemies. It is leading the White race to racial suicide. The christ insanity bible is loaded with bad advice for non-jews and good advice for jews in the old testament.
