Justify how meaningfully objective your answer is to the question: does life signify nothing?

Answer 1

I'm no philosopher, so forgive my ignorance. It seems to me that by answering the question, my response is immediately subjective, so I'm already in trouble! I suppose the only way to objectively observe the significance of 'life' would be to 'be' something else capable of what we understand as thoughts, and observe time and space in its entirety to see what, (if anything), happens. Without that luxury, (shame, because I quite fancy being god for a day), and taking my limited experience of this game, I would suggest that objectively, we all seem to be experiencing something similar, and it all seems to be heading somewhere. Hehee, it all seems pretty significant to me, but what do I know!? (Nothing, before you say it!) Fantastic question, that will keep me going for hours....

Answer 2

Hi Jase, meaningfully objective? No chance! Outside the perspective of being alive, the concept of Objectivity becomes moot. As far as the human race can experience the universe, Life is not only not Nothing, it is Everything! You cannot prove that the whole universe you experience didn't begin with your first conscious thought and that it won't end with your last, because to all intents and purposes that is exactly what happens. The permanence of matter is therefore worth nothing from any viewpoint, no matter how hard you try to persuade yourself that there is an Objective truth to be deduced.
Life is everything, so live a bit!
Cheers, Steve.

Answer 3

Life does not "signify" anything. Many things signify life (breathing, consuming, breeding, dying, etc.) but not the other way around.

But, that isn't your question.

Does life come from nothing? Probably. Creationists believe that everything was created by a god from, most likely, nothing. Evolutionists believe life came from coalescing remnants of the Big Bang which originally came from nothing.

Will life become nothing? Probably. Everything that has a beginning has an end.

Answer 4

The term 'life' is SO objective, it's a cop-out term used to stand for literally every kind of phenomenon, that it explains nothing. It does no work unless you constrict universality. There's no way to make something capable of being true or false, and hence meaningful, if the very thing analyzed for meaning also encompasses the standards for such an assessment...

Everything is love!
Everything is God!
Everything is beautiful!

yeah... great, you've said nothing. By destroying distinction, differentiation is obliterated. On the level of explanation, plenum of being= nothingness. They both produce no meaningful data.

Answer 5

I do believe the correct grammar would be "does life signify anything?"

It signifies the most amazing miraculas mystery of life and death, creation and decay. hThen rebirth

If there were nothing there woudlnt be anyting & if there wasn;t anything three would be nothing. Thus, we have things. Each with their own defined meaning and reason.

Answer 6

What then does life mean to a thought never to dream, never to gather when dictators know their humble beginning. What then does life mean. to know of who's service to be in , one which gives a good life among many of thing.When one can see life as nothing it is in that time when ones true work begins, Why am i here in this moment seen as still. keep looking and thinking and keep your thoughts still, nothing will turn to something .
