what do you think the true meaning of life is?

Question

jux curious of wat people think. wat do u think it means?

Answer 1

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.....

Answer 2

As a Christian, I feel we are here to do God's will, I feel He has our race set out before us and each of us is equal to HIm. Kind of like the parts of the body work together to make the human body function well. Some people think they are less and they are not. We have some body parts that seem small and maybe not vital, but they are extremely important and so are the people who think they are less, you are not. You have blessed me so many times with just a smile.

Answer 4

There is none. If you look into the history on this site, this question is asked about 15 times a day. You can see hundreds and hundreds of responses to this exact question.

Life has no meaning whatsoever. If we all got wiped out tomorrow, no divinity would be there to prevent it, and the universe would continue to spin on into infinity.

Answer 5

It depends. If there is a God, then there is meaning. If there is no God there is no meaning.

Don't believe those people who say you make your own meaning. That's like going into an empty garage and thinking up a car and trying to drive it to work.

Answer 6

Well, I think there are 3 things you should consider in this life in relation to your question. What is your feeling toward yourself, your neighbor and your beliefs? Life and true freedom are based on your answers to these questions.
