What is the meaning of life?

[Yuruth]

i don't know i never rember things that happen at that time but rember things that happend long time ago but what is life how did we get where we are  :-X

[Ar_Pharazon]

How abouts I go all controversial here, and say that the meaning of Life is to become so powerful and so technologically advanced that we know longer call ourselves humans, but Gods?  

[Gollum]

Could you please explain what you just said as I do not understand you mean?

[Ar_Pharazon]

Huh? I didnt think it was that difficult, but lets imagine 200-300 years ago, well, lets go back to the Tudors. Say if you were to show them a torch or anything we take for granted like a dvd player etc. Wouldn't they be like "Woah thats some sick poo poo!!" (well maybe not in those precise words)

They might think you were a magician, or even perhaps, a God? I mean, light out of your hand, people trapped in a box? Miracles surely.

So what if, in the next two hundred years, we invented wormholes and stuff that seems unbelievable. Perhaps then, we could turn water into wine, bring people back from the dead even using their DNA. Perhaps we might even be able to stop ageing and manipulate loads of stuff, or mindread etc.

Isn't that what Gods do? If we could reach that kind of level when time didnt matter, we'd have completed our purpose for being here.

That depends on your definition of God. We'll never be omnipotent, I suspect, but we could certainly appear God-like to a species/race of lesser technology.

[Unebriwen]

the meaning of life is told to a person when they die and when they come back they forget :-X

...so you believe in reincarnation, then?

[elbereth]

not me...one time around is enough for me...I just want this one time to be as good as possible.

True  

[Gomaithol]

now i dont mean this in any way at all but 42!

Seriously we may be able to do things but to make a time machine one has to b able to tell the futre first right?

[Ar_Pharazon]

Why would we need to tell the future, in order to build a time machine? I don't get ya  

[Unebriwen]

I just want this one time to be as good as possible.

lmao! Totally agreed methinks we should make this life the best (because we don't necessarily know if it's our last or not :-X )

[witch - king]

basicaly the meaning of life is to die, dunno y. my theory is life is some sorta test for the next stage, HEAVY!

[Mithrandir]

Well, this is how I see things:
Life has no meaning, it doesn't need or require one. We are on this Earth purely for the reason to reproduce as out parents did, we are around to ensure the success of the species, to carry the genes on.
There is no reincarnation because no body remembers before they were born, so why should it exist after we die.
I would hate to sound harsh, but the things people are saying are what they want rather than what happens.
There is nothing after death, we cease to exist, therefore there is nothing to be scared of because, there is nothing.
The point is, we are not Gods as we know them, we don't move oceans and such like. We are on the Earth, that is the end of it, there is no because. Have you ever had your science teacher say to you because it is when you go into something so infinitely complicated and meaningful that it loses meaning and there is no longer and why it happens, just that it does happen, and you have to accept it. It is the same with life; There is no meaning of, we just are, and that is something that we should all come to terms with.
The things people are saying here are personal motives about self-satisfaction and so forth, nothing to do with meanings.
Technology does not affect our "meaning" for it is only an evolutionary advance.
If we were being controlled by some Gods, we would know about it.
And the Universe doesn't revolve around us, we are not the only life, we just haven't found it yet, there is quite likely to be a more advanced race than us out there, somewhere, but until then, we are alone, in a big black space.

To sum this all up:

• We are here because we are.
• We are born, we live, we die

thats true, were probly just here because a cingular cell organism just evolved over billions and billions of years for no reason and were all just an axident. seems harsh huh

[Cobryn]

The meaning of life is to learn and then die seems rather pointless
