It seems like every day someone asks the same question about 'What Is The Meaning Of Life?'
If they would go back and read the answers to the hundred other same questions asked they would have thousands of replies to chose from.
How likely is it that one of us will come up with a reply that hasn't been already expressed?
So what is the underlying meaning behind so many people so often asking the same question? It's the same with many other topics. Like in the 'Painting' section of Yahoo Answers every other day someone will ask 'What's Your Favorite Color?'
So, why are the same questions asked so often?
(Take this question in jest, people! I'm just playing with words here.)

My opinion? People ask questions that have no answers, (because there's no definitive answer to the question), & looking at other answers wouldn't help. "Why am I here"? "What is my purpose"? Hello?
I haven't quite determined the reason for the "What's your favourite colour"? sort of question. Everyone will answer that! Two points for "red," two points for ONE word. Wow. Certainly doesn't serve the asker. Maybe they're just lonely?
What a curious community!

this is a philosophical Q subsequently I studied technology I as quickly as heard: "human beings are the only animals that don't understand that the objective of existence is to stay" in a single experience "objective" is a human thought. however the actuality that we are able to think of it supplies it a undeniable validity right this is an thought to contemplate, for sure i won't tutor it existence is a customary stress interior the universe like gravity and electric powered forces existence emerges and could become greater complicated while and if the ambience helps attempt to study "the Phenomenon of guy" by way of P T deChardin a Roman Catholic priest and anthropologist no longer hassle-free analyzing besides the shown fact that it has some recommendations increasing thoughts

For some of these people, I think that sitting down and writing the question is therapeutic. The question suddenly became important for some reason and had to be actively pursued and not just passively researched.
Our human capacity to shield ourselves through self deception from a meaningless existence is sometimes weakened and it is most disturbing, even frightening, when we actually confront such a situation.

How wonderful it is to have some perspective, dear. After constantly asking yourself what direction your life is going, doesn't it feel great to finally feel as if you know? How very wise you are! Yet all this recent wisdom is exhausting. You feel as though you've made a long trip up to the mountaintop to speak with the learned wise person at the top. Now that you're back down in civilization, it's time to find a soft bed and relax for a bit.

Maybe some people are at their end, some people really don't see a reason to wake up each day. Happy people may not know what some people go thur min. by min. Wondering if you'll live tomorow. It doesn't feel very good....

The question is asked continuously because many people fear death. They are looking for an answer that will give them security and a reason to believe that their life matters.

Or, if the question is answered enough times, the reasons will evolve.
Its like when you get something off your chest, the next thing is there waiting.

they dont want to go read the previous questions and answers? is the only reason i can think of
or perhaps they think they will see it stated differently
to me, the meaning of life is what you decide it is, what gives you meaning , for me personally the meaning of life is to live it! experience it, grow , learn, like any trip you want to walk away feeling enriched

It's much more than once a day and it's because people tend to be ignorant and unoriginal.
