I'm talking about the meaning of life. I tend to believe that the
problem to the question is that basically there is no answer.
What say you?

Interesting way to phrase an oft quote question.
What's it all mean.
Just reviewing set theory in math the other day. An interesting part of set theory is that every possible element is a (part) subset of the universal (set). This includes the null or empty set (nothingness). And that same null is a subset of every set up to and including the universal.
At the same time the composite set (that is, that which is outside a given set) for the universal is the null set. So the null set is both everything outside of everything and part of every part of everything. It seems incredibly interconnected and contradictory at the same time.

It's kind of a neat way of looking at life. We are all part of the bigger picture, unique but not irreplaceable, and have a part in each of us that is interconnected with every other part in this universe.

From time to time, I have walked home in the early morning dawn and felt that connection. Just as I have on some nights, in a field, away from the city lights, gazing into the milky way as its light paints the black sky. We came from those stars, we'll eventually be going back to those stars, and for me it's all about the journey.

Peace

The meaning of life is to be found in the fullness of time.

If you want to know the meaning of life, get a Bible and start reading. God tells us we were created for Him and we only have our being through Him.

Other than the Bible, all you can do is keep wandering through life asking silly questions like "What's it all mean?"

The meaning of life depends on how you view your life. If you are depressed, you are hopeless. If you set your goal very high and you live in your dream, you are hopeful. !!!

There are inherent truths we believe in. By seeking, you have already assumed that truth exists, that its worthy knowing, that it is knowable, and that it is stable-- also that you will be able to tell the truth when you see it. To do that - you must know something already as birth.

It means whatever you want it to. That's the exciting part, that we are all creators of our own reality & destiny. We define our existence by whatever we choose to be & whatever wisdom we find enlightening to our souls.
