What is the meaning of life?

Question

Great question eh?

Answer 1

To find an answer to that very question....

Everyone's answer is different....

When you figure your answer out... it is over and you don't get to play anymore and graduate to a higher state of being

or

a word used to describe the physical existance of a spiritual body on a material plane for which it was not totally designed

or

the sum total of all the graduated points that have or will pass between the beginning and end of your existance

or

a figment of your over active imagination

or finally

it is 4 dimensional game much like our computer games only it is played by the spirit that inhabits our bodies... How many times do you think you have played the game HUMAN BEING? I guess that would depend on what version is currently available wherever we exist for real

Answer 2

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.


To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

I don't know about a great question but it is certainly a common one that most ask themselves at some point or another. I think it is to love and be loved in return. You might think that is hokey but the longer you live the more truth there is in it. As the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz said to the Tinman as he gave him a heart, "It is not how much you love but how much you are loved by others that is the true test of a heart", or something like that. If you get a definative answer let me know and the world for that matter.

Answer 5

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.

I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.

You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.

The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

Answer 6

"What is the meaning of life?" means different things to different people. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many interpretations, such as: "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.

Answer 7

We can only answer for ourselves.

My life is balanced. One the one side I live happily with my wife and daughter, on the other I live a life of philosophical contemplation.

Answer 8

You have a good sense of humor. I wish there were more people like you, life wouldn't be as stressful as it is. I wonder what you do for living..... Your questions had me laughing so hard that my belly hurts...

Answer 9

To answer the question "What is the meaning of life", you just have to ask yourself "Why does my life have meaning?".

Answer 10

The meaning of life is whatever you create and make of it.
