People are always asking the age-old question, 'What is the meaning of life?' But what I am wondering is what someone would do if they had the opportunity to know what it was, or if it didn't exist. Personally, I'd avoid the answer; I'm happy knowing that I have a life. Knowing the meaning of life could change the world- maybe for the worse. Who knows.

If someone knew the true meaning of life, I would ask them what it was. If there isn't any meaning to life, i would make life meaningful myself.

I think faith is the way too go, and that being said, if someone knew for a fact that god existed and had solid evidence, there would be no point to maintaining your faith in god because now you know for sure that god is real, and therefore all life might as well end.

I don't think life has some sort of universal meaning in itself, but it does have local meaning since you care about certain things and people, and others care about you. That's whats meaningful to you in your life, and that's enough.

I wouldn't tell anyone if I knew it. Just before I'd be able to a Vogon constructor fleet would show up and blow the Earth to smithereens to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

I don't give it any thought. I don't see there there needs to be a "meaning". Life just is. That's enough for me.

Perhaps share it. What if there was no 'no meaning'. What if there was no 'false meaning'. Would that be a good meaning for lifes experience?
