Life is there really a meaning?

Answer 1

That depends on the philosophy or the religion doing the asking/answering. Myself, I believe life arose so the universe (God?) could experience creation.

Answer 2

Well that is my friend the biggest question anybody can ask. It all depends on your faith, background, philosophies and personal values and or ethics. If you want my opinion than here goes:
The meaning of life is to learn and grow. In my beliefs,
to grow spiritually. To evolve into what MAN was created for in this first place. By what kind of GOD or GODS, I’m still not sure yet or the reason as to WHY we exist in the first place. But essentially the meaning of life is to live on earth
grow and learn than reincarnate until we become perfect, like Gods. Unfortunate I think that will take the human race more than eternity to achieve, By the way things are going now. Sorry that was a little pessimistic.

Answer 3

I think it depends on how you look at it, if you try and find a logical reason for living, then no, life has no meaning. But if you follow your dreams or destiny or whatever you want to call it, then yes, there is meaning to life, but it's different from one person to the next: The meaning of life lies in what you make of your life.

Answer 4

What do you see when you close your eyes? And what about when you open them? How dramatic is the difference? We are entitled to our fantasies. Indeed, we really ought to see them as essential to our well-being. What's the point of a life without dreams? It's true too, that some dreams are best left unfulfilled. They are more enjoyable in the imagination than they would ever be in reality. Yet every so often, we have to get a little of what we want, if only to maintain the tantalising illusion that the rest might just be attainable.

Answer 5

If life's just meant to be an adventure, then I don't want to live. I live because life isn't always about about having fun, but rather getting things done. I get things done for the kingdom of God, so when I die, I'll actually have made a difference. We're all called to make a difference. We're called to make a difference for something bigger than ourselves. We're called to make a difference for God.

Answer 6

It is very interesting question but the answers is very complicated. Here I share my opinion as an answer.

For me the meaning of life is to understand the meaning of humanity and our responsibility as a human being to our universe. We have a life we have to enjoy it on a proper and acceptable way. Try to understand the beauty of life and helping others to understand it. The beauty of life is not based on material but spiritual. The beauty of life is not based on religion but humanity. Without humanity there is no meaning of life to me. Without humanity there is no real happiness.

Answer 7

Do you think that it's an accident that you were born? Was it just a coincidence that you were born to the parents that you have? Don't you think that life is a miracle? What are the odds that you would turn out to be the person who you are? That you were born at all is quite extraordinary. I don't believe in accidents. We may not understand the reason for why things happen but that doesn't mean that those things are just arbitrary. If you look into the various world religious philosophies as well as psychology and various systems associated with growth, you will find a certain commonality. They all seem to agree that we come into this world not as whole human beings but with potential for wholeness.
The Hebrew and Christian Bible talk about man, shortly after being created, is expelled from the Garden of Eden. As a result of disobeying God man loses eternal life, his innoscence, and is condemned to toil all the days of his life and is to experience suffering and hardship. The Christians refer to this episode as Original Sin. The Jews say that the world is broken ( Tikkun Olam) and it is our obligation to fix it. But how can we as individuals fix the world? You fix the world by fixing yourself, working on making yourself whole. The Hindus and Buddhists talk about this world being a world of illusion, the World of Maya. They believe that as long as we are unable to transcend this world of illusion, we will be trapped in the endless cycle of birth and death and rebirth. The Hindus believe that we each contain within us either a piece of the Divine or a window to the Divine. Transcending the illusion is part of the process of achieving wholeness and realizing the divine within us is the other. The psychologist Jung talks about the process of Self Actualization. We were born to grow not just physically but spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. We were created with the potential of Self Realization. Gurgieff, the great Russian mystic and teacher, talks about man being asleep. I guess he took a lot of his teachings from Sufism. They also refer to the state of man as that of one who is asleep.
Wake-up from your slumber. Arise to the human being that you have the potential to be. As each individual comes to wholeness, greater light is released into this world. Light is emmitted. It is absorbed. It is reflected. We are each touched by it and offerred illumination. Have you ever thought of the man carrying a lantern. wandering in search of Truth.

Answer 8

There is no higher meaning or purpose of life. We aren't born because God told us to or something. We just happened to be lottery winners and were born. We humans aren't anything special, really. We just happened to be a little smarter than "animals" and now we're dominating over them, thinking we are greater entities. However, the wild "beasts" that are "savage" and "unsophisticated" are MUCH better in physical ways, and in that sense, we are inferior. But then, who really thinks that every single hippopotamus are born with a purpose of life?

We just happened to be born. If you want to believe that there is SOMETHING, then I can say that our purpose of life is to be satisfied to our limits (be happy) and fulfill our natures.
When I talk nature, I'm more of into our mental natures, not our physical natures. Then, our "soul" (if there is one) would be completely free and satisfied.

But how? You must always be asking questions and doubting things. Such as me, I have no morals. To me, killing isn't a bad thing, although I don't go out to kill someone myself. What is wrong with killing? What is wrong with strong dominating the weak when it's their nature? By being free of morals, but yet choosing to compromise (to not to break laws) with the society has made me free, although I had many countless conflicts with people who are being meddlesome and not indifferent when I don't do anything to THEM.

Basically, as long as you stay in the limits of the law allows and compensate with the society (since you can't live out there in the jungles) then you are free to do whatever you like, or it should be like that.

Law, it shouldn't contain any morals but the very essentials to keep the society in place.

There is no "true" love (it's all proven by biological and phychological science) that almost everyone believes in. Also, there is no purpose of life, once again, and you don't have to pass on your seed. What good comes from that? To keep human race from getting extinct? What is wrong with that yet again? If human race gets extinct, then Mother Earth and the other organisms would be truly satisfied.

People shouldn't glorify themselves or human race as living Gods. That sh*t all comes from our arrogancy.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I dont think there is. at least for humankind. all in all its not going to make any difference cause the world will eventually come to an end and thats probably partially our fault. but its your choice if you want to make the most of what you have whether it makes a difference or not
