No, not unique, but had to be said. ____ English doesn't borrow from other languages; it follows other languages down dark alleys, coshes 'em, then rummages in their pockets for loose bits of grammar. |

The answer is simple: Meaningless. There isn't one meaning for life you nut cracker.

I wrote up a long version of this before, which I can link if you like (and if I can find it), but here it is in bullet point form:
- Life appears to have no obvious purpose handed down from 'on high'
- The only purpose which can be assigned to life in that case is the activity in which life engages in its natural state
- Most life simply exists to propagate itself - thus we can say that the purpose of life is to work against the universe's natural tendency break down from complex to simple systems
- The primary difference between us and other life is our self-awareness/sentience/intelligence
- It can therefore be inferred that our purpose is not merely to propagate life, since that can be done by lower forms of life, our purpose must be based around this enhanced intelligence
- One capability we have that other forms of life do not have is to observe and understand the universe, other life merely lives in it, we can to some degree properly percieve it, and the complexity which the preceding forms of life gave it
- Thus our naturally derived purpose is to witness the universe's natural struggle against decline into a simpler state (dark universe or whatever), and by being there to witness and appreciate it, give some meaning to the efforts of all forms of life
So, the meaning of life, for us, is to give meaning to life. -

experiencing every moment of it and the progressing complication of that experience is the meaning. without life no experiencing and that's boring.

It's nothing very special really - try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

Edited by: P''uck on 02/10/2008 14:21:30 I'm not sure if there is any reason or purpose behind all this, but I like to think that life spawned in the universe just so there is something that can actually perceive the universe.
It's a bit like this old koan: "If a tree falls down and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
And if you manage to reach a satori through meditating on this koan you probably will become this forest without any life in it, and you suddenly will understand, that the universe is completely silent. What we perceive as noise is only vibrating air, and without nerves, brains and life this vibrating air is just that... air, but certainly no noise.
And I think the whole life and universe thing works a bit like this. If there's no life to perceive it, is it still there? Well, of course it is, but it would probably be something completely different.

The meaning of life is to be able, at any point in your life, to look back at what you have done and be at peace with the outcomes and still confident in what the future may bring.

Don't get to attached to THIS life, but do good and be charitable when you can. Life really is very simple, but most people make it more complicated out of pettiness. You and your family have my well wishes. Farewell. _______ Griefing is to ruin a friendly game, which Eve is not. |

The meaning of life is to live it to its fullest. and every second not spent enjoying yourself is a sin.
And I am doing everything I can to fulfill my goal of being an inventor. Because after all, Its not impossible, you just haven't found out how to do it yet. That is my moral.
Edit: If I am the lucky one then don't convo me because I am going to schoold

The meaning of life is to procreate and to have your genes survive thru natural selection.

Life has no meaning as meaning requires intention and intention requires consciousness and the universe has no consciousness to give life a objective meaning.
In the subjective sense, with the lack of a objective meaning, you can give life any meaning and purpose you want as they are all as arbitrary as the next and equally valid.
You are free.

The meaning of life is to make your life mean something.
Good luck with what ever you persue when you leave.
