The Meaning Of Life

So, as the topic title says, I would like to know what you all think the meaning of life and it's existance is. I mean, it can be anything, but try to not spam with "ROFL D00D 42!". I'm trying to be serious with the topic here.


Anyways, my view on the meaning of life is we exist to love. Male and Female were placed on earth, and they have always had a connection with each other. We're made to care for each other and make sure the other in a couple can thrive and live a good life. That's why someone is always willing to give their own life to save their significant other's. I mean, if a woman meaned that much to man, don't you think that would be why they exist. To love and be loved?


Anyways, that's just my $0.02. What're your guys' ideas?

    That's it? You believe that we were put into existence just to be taken out of existence? I mean, that's pretty depressing.

    There is no meaning just survival of the fittest.

    What else is there to do?  I enjoy reproducing and making off spring.  I enjoy what everyone else enjoys... and then boom. My life's over.  I could step outside tomorrow and get hit by a plane.

    I live my life day to day.

    But, maybe you were put into life so that you CAN enjoy what you and others enjoy? Maybe the existence of your life was to enjoy life itself.

    Enough spamming already.

    Maybe life is about enjoying life.... NO SHIT Sherlock.

    Stop spamming your stupidity already.  My life is about killing people... how's that?

    And about that killing, fine, enjoy your life ruining others.

    You make a point to state my point isn't good enough, therefore you're spamming and flamming.  Yeah, my life might be pointless, but if you stopped and lived in my shoes for a second, you'd end your life.

    $20,000 in debt.

    If I don't get $2,000 by Sept 13th I go to jail, if I go to jail and when they release me, if I can't pay "x" amount back I go back to jail untill I can (Go figure, really might happen)

    2 kids

    Divorced

    No car

    Live in a trailer in a driveway

    etc etc etc...  I live life day by day, and sometimes wish it would go away.  So yeah... the meaning of life is to live, to do better then your parents, but I work 40 hours and take home $129, yet make $9 an hour and get time & a half on Sunday.   AWESOME!

    I love my life!!! YAY!  GO ME!  So yeah, want to take a spin in my shoes?

    My view on the meaning of life: Whatever the meaning of life is to you, is how you life your life. Where there are meanings, there are goals, love, acheivements, sucess, failure and a ending. Life is what you make it.

    I seriously would gladly take a spin in your shoes. It would be a life changing experience to be able to firsthand experience someone elses life. I mean, if I did, and I'm not gonna lie to you, I would seriously probably change my view on the meaning of life.

    I live everyday waking up hating what I got myself into.  WIshing I could get hit by a car so I could sue and get money to get myself out of this mess.... sounds like fun eh?

    I wish people would die so I wouldn't have to deal with their shit every day.  I wish I wasn't me half the time, I wish sometimes I just didn't wake up.

    Then there's times I'm glad to be alive, glad to be working, glad to be making the $120 check working my ass off for some bullshit job with an asshole for a boss @ a bullshit store.

    Then I stop and think... some people have it worse then me, and I smile for a second, then wake up from my day dream and snap back to life knowing how crappy I got things.  One day I'll get out of this mess and be happy again.

    Life is a gift to enjoy, and the giver is unknown. We can hypothesis on God all we want, draw imaginative conjectures, but we really don't know God. We don't know if God is a him or a her, has a favorite color, works all the time or relaxes, prefers golf over baseball, looks like George Burns (movie "Oh God) or like fog, or is something we have no concept of. The Old Testament depicts God as fire and brimstone, the new as a loving, all inclusive God. We have no idea whether God ever assumes human form and just bums around down here, maybe even playing MMORPGs or starting topics on forums. We like to think we know God, many pray and ask for stuff, and believe the stuff will be forthcoming. Still others believe it's not about stuff at all, and is on a higher spiritual level. The mutual love we enjoy is just that, part of the enjoyment of life. What if God is really a woman, and life is all about shopping? Men were put here to work, earn the money, and women to enjoy it? Now that would really rock some peoples world...what do we really know about the meaning of all this?

    Well, Vertex, all I can say is you should keep working for your kids. I mean, I'm only 14, and my dad is working a shit-ass job, but I know that he's doing it to help us. I also know that, if my dad WERE to end his life or have it ended, I would be crushed.

    So, if you're not living life for yourself, live it for your children so that they can find what their calling in life is. Trust me, life's much easier with a supportive dad, even if he has the worst paying job ever.

    If my kids were here, sure.  If the mother wasn't a stupid whore... it's a long story and I'm finished posting in this thread.

    Good night.

    There is no point.  We believe there is a point but there isnt.

    Vertex, life sucks but you got youreself into that position so you cant really complain, and if you need money that much, may i ask wtf you are doing playing mmorpgs with monthly fees? When you could save that money for something else.

    All your puny questions about the Meaning of life answered by Agent Smith:

     Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more that your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?

     Can you feel it Mr. Anderson? Closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. Purpose of life is to end.

    There you have it. It was on the Matrix, so it must be true.

    I started a topic like a week ago on this...

    I hate life. I can't stand living each day. I am not content with who I am...

    As to the meaning of life, I'm probably a lot more clueless then you are... I've rarely felt true happiness so far, and whenever I have, it has fallen away from me. I'm young, I know that life may be ahead of me. But then again, I may die any day, who will care? Maybe my parents, the very few friends I have, my siblings, no one else. I used to pray every day, when I was happy and when I had hope.

    Now I feel my hope is gone. I'm not poor, I'm not abused, I'm not suffering as many people do; I'm worthless. I was 3 months premature and almost died when I was a baby, maybe this shouldn't affect me, but I think about it almost every day. If I was that close to dying, hasn't god (if he even exists) put me here for a reason?

    Was I supposed to make people happy? I've never made anyone happy. As much as my parents may say they love me, I know I don't bring them happiness. They work constantly and do there best to keep me happy, but I am still selfish, inconfident, and unhappy. I haven't done much of anything for them, not because I don't want to; It's just because I can't.

    I look at a lot of pretty girls and I'm like, "why can't I have someone like that?" I want to know that someone actually gives a shit about me, and I can talk to someone when I need to. I'm not fat or anything of that sort, girls just don't like me. Maybe it's my depressing personality or how different I am from most people. I'm certainly not proud of anything I say or do.

    I probably got off topic... Well... I wish I knew the meaning of life as well. All of you may claim you know what it is, but you do not know. As for me... I'm lost.

    You think your life means nothing but producing offspring?

    You sure do write well for a 13 year old.  I teach 6th graders and none of my 138 students come anywhere close to that.  Are you sure your age display is right under user info?

    If you believe in reincarnation and karma there is a point. 

    Just make the point of life to be happy and make others have fun too.  That's a kick ass reason for living.  And if that fails take up skiing.  Snow skiing rocks.  And winter is almost here.  Woohoo!!!

    Yeah, I'm sure. I can be an immature bastard most of the time. I just got a little emotional...
