Oh God....does life have any real meaning????????????????

Question

If there is then p l e a s e tell me about it...because I can't find it..

Well...Jesus doesnt seem tolove ME!!!!

Answer 1

Well--your question is ambigous and impossible to answer because "real meaning" can mean so many different things.

I interpret this question as "Whats the point in living"----There really is no answer to this at all, well actually religion solves this question. Religion is present because it is the answer to this question---People who ask "why am I here" which is the essence of your question can only turn to religion for answers----Religion is really a beautiful thing since it gives people the answer and makes them feel good and in the end its all about how you feel.

Attempt to answer question: I could say no---but then that would make life suck and no one wants or should believe that or else they should just not live---Every human action a person takes is to increase happiness--The point of relationships, products, and anything is to be happier with them than without them--So really the point of life is to know what you want and to get it---The process of getting there will make you feel good and it will give you meaning. For example, I wanted to make the basketball team, so I trained hard everyday and I got there---It gave my life meaning. Right now I have another goal which is to get a 2400 on the SAT and become a World Memory master--So I will train hard and it give my life meaning. If I didnt have these things that I wanted or goals, my life would really suck---I mean I would just basically live day by day and just ask "whats the point of living?" The point of living is to live but you have to answer why in your own way---you answer why with what you love---It may be the point of living is to play basketball, hang with friends, and to take care of my family and......

Life means different things for different people and life doesnt automatically mean something you have to make it mean something---thats just the way it works

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.....

Answer 3

You present day a straw guy argument. Atheists do not argue "if there isn't any evidence it does not exist." The proposition atheists pose is this: if there isn't any evidence, then there isn't any reason to have faith. One has to remember that people make up memories each and all the time and attempt to bypass them off as actual. We see this in the present day (Bernie Madoff) and extremely it has occurred in the previous (all ineffective religions). If somebody comes up on your and provides some tale how do you tell no be counted if that is actual or not? Atheists answer: evidence. If there isn't any evidence then you definitely could desire to evaluate the very genuine danger that the story is utter fiction, despite the fact that defective the teller is in believing the story to be actual. And in case you won't be in a position to split actuality from fiction you have not have been given any foundation to objective and rigidity that tale on others by using subculture and regulation. If there is often evidence, as you declare, and god is supposedly all-powerful and cares plenty approximately what we have faith that god will punished non-believers with everlasting torment then there could desire to be mounds of evidence everywhere you seem. yet there isn't something that uniquely shows a god. that is tremendously damning.

Answer 4

First-Don't ask what you have been told is there, and you don't know it is. There is no evidence of deities that is not taught through the imposition of fear and guilt disguised as mercy.
Second-Don't assume you could ever understand the purpose, if there were one.
Third-Don't assume there is none because you don't know it.
Fourth-Try to get out of the strictures of European thinking by exploring the works of traditions that have been thinking about thought for thousands of years.
Fifth-Abandon thinking in terms of opposites. The universe is a spectrum. No thing is exactly like any other thing, or the exact opposite of any other thing. Things just have a range of properties, some of which result in seeming opposition.
Sixth-If you stop trying to think cosmically and do for yourself and others what you can do, the questions take care of themselves. You don't see diatoms trying to steer the ocean, do you?

Answer 5

No, there simply is no REAL meaning of life, from my point of view.

YOU have to create a meaning for life, because you are the only one who lives your life...

In other words, the real meaning of life is absoloutly independent of the rality because we simply don't know the realities, so choose a meaning which you like the most, the meaning which makes you feel as the best person on earth and the meaning which makes you feel you've found the answer....

Believe me, there is no standard definition of life... neither science nor religion have anything to say. You are the only one.

Answer 6

Of course life has a real meaning, it isn't pointless. Life for all creation is about survival. Living life as abundantly as possible in the moment is what we need to do in order to find real meaning, although that is different for everybody. I do hope you're ok. Talk to someone. Don't give up on your search. Think of all the things in life that you love as that may help you to find real meaning. Even though I don't know you, I care about you , as I'm sure that many others do. Look after yourself.

Answer 7

Sorry if this question is actually addressing god, but to answer it, yes it does. It doesn't have any meaning byitself though, it doesn't have any meaning because of science or religion. It doesn't have any meaning because of someone else. It has meaning because nothing we do matters and because of that, the only thing that matters is what we do.

In our own perception, whatever we find meaningful is meaningful as long as we have the conscious to realize it. It is meaningful for us and real for us for all practical purposes. So, we can create meaning from a ratherless meaningless world. It's a nefty trick.

Answer 8

of course not. It's random, and pure chance that one sperm out of so many millions succeeded in connecting with the egg that created you!!! and that's what is absolutely so wonderful. There is no purpose or meaning, except to live; and value every moment that you are lucky enough to experience. It's man's ego that demands any higher 'purpose' other than to be.

may you find joy from living; you don't need to be controlled by anything outside yourself.

Answer 9

You sound depressed, and I've been there. I was healed by Jesus and although I don't believe he heals everyone, he does hold all the answers to your questions. You have asked a good question and God really really wants to know you and to have you know him. Please cry out to him and seek him, in the Bible, at a church,or just do an alpha course. He does love you, don't let your feelings lie to you on that. If you have tried everything else, try God, you certainly have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Pray this prayer if you can:
Jesus, I don't know if you are real, but if you are then I need you. I ask you now, in my darkest hour, to reveal yourself to me in a way I will believe. I don't promise to become a Christian but I maybe we could get to know each other a bit. In your holy name, Amen.
