Answer 3

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.

I've come to two conclusions recently:

1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.

Answer 4

Living?

Answer 5

So I have this picture in my mind when you ask that question of a schoolmaster walking into the middle of some ruckus in a classroom and saying "what's the meaning of this". What he really wants to know is who's responsible so he can start punishing, but instead he asks for 'meaning'. So the schoolroom thing has no higher meaning, it's just boys being boys. This, life, is just people being people.

Answer 6

albert camus says the fundamental question in philosophy is "why not suicide" once you can answer that, then you have created your own meaning for your life....you decide what is important enough to put up with the effort to live....therefore, live everyday to the fullness, but only on your terms so long as you harm no other being (so they too can pursue happiness)

real happiness comes from setting goals and achieving them and having the wisdom to then set new goals so that you are forever in a transformation right along with the rest of the universe.....good luck......

Answer 11

there is no life.
existence, in fact, is an illusion.
our "lives" are the imaginary inputs to which we are somehow connected. we will not find the maning of life until we are dead. dont try to die just to find the meaning of life though. it will make more sense the more life you have lived. i realized that on time.:)
