Without going into any deep philosophy, this debate just seems to be going round and round in circles.

I guess that's because it's all just a matter of personal opinion and experience.

The Meaning of Life to me means....you are born. You eventually educate yourself the best you can through school and your family. You find a job. Work your ass off to survive in this world....then you grow old. Retire eventually. Die....and then are reborn in another realm(depending on what religion you believe in)

HOW DO?

I dont think life has a meaning, I think we're just here to live it and enjoy it or hate it, whatever your situation is.

Of course life has a meaning. Maybe your's does not...and you have yet to find your true meaning to life...but there is a meaning to life under all circumstances.

There is meaning if you wish there to be. If you seek meaning, then you will see it.

All of the above 'Dead President'.  ;D

Why name yourself after a womanizer JFK? And why vote Kennedy?

JFK might have been a womaniser, and much worse besides... but he might also have averted a war at the most delicate stage in the nuclear arms race...  :-\

i am far from a womanizer the CIA told me that we could avoid nuclear war! besides i see kennedy(me) as a nearly perfect being besides my physical problems.


(in truth i think John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a good president that did not take bribes or was corrupt in any way he fought for racial rights and besides his perfect(exept his body problems) life he also gained the perfect death in my taste...young powerfull riding in an open lemo with thousands of people cheering you on the way and then being killed in the most painless way......i could only dream of such a death, no the normal everyday person might die in a cosy bed at a respectable age, and before you would be moving slowly wary to not cause more pain to the already decaying body. pathetic? i think so

in question to the meaning of life? what is the meaning of death? why must we decay?
oh well
the meaning of life well)

i will answer your question of life......unlike communism we shall speak of this matter openly and with no worry of rifle men ready to shoot if you ask me a difficult question.

Personal meaning: well i see it as reaching optimal results, to use logic as your pocket mind, logic can calculate everything given time, therefor my lifestyle has been to seem as logical as possible but ofcourse its immpossible.....i am only human and as a human i boast  at myself as meaning next question(thats why to vote Kennedy i averted the question completly)

Social: society craves one to function like a hive and reave knowledge and wisdom through those that show most results, but to evolve we need radical minds like me(JFK), Thomas Jefferson, ghandi, budha, napoleaon, castro, even hitler and many more through out time, all of these had come out from difficult times and in those times people need leaders, new leaders since society also craves evolution(like nature), but instead it is called a revolution. After a grand revolution a hellhole begins opening causing conflict and then once again when people were on the of war a hero must come up and lead them to failure or victory and in this time we are nearing this brink where chaos seems inevitable. to allow this process it requires that society does not function optimally, the role of the citizen is too learn most from thier elders and thier experiances. Wisdom. Then there is Knowledge which teaches the hows and whys based on the foundations of the physical world. But why do this, we do it because society rewards us by(if you are succesful) with highly prefered functions and by preforming these tasks that you gain with this occupation you are given select pleasures. but logic and says that not all will reach this level because of the anomaly of difference.

physical meaning: simple breeding evolution

Spiritual: im not gonna talk about this until i have a lawyer present!

I have two opinions on the meaning of life. One, like Dagger is that we're just here and the other is that we're here to help each other - which I prefer because it's happier. :P

My opinion of mankind is, that everyone has been effected by someone in their life. Other people, being our parents, other family or friends shape who we are, even random people in the street. For someone like, random example Martin Luther King these people could have proved essential for him to continue living and have the knowledge he needed. Without these people, would he have achieved anything? Is our purpose therefore to help each, so that we can all make a difference in the world?

But as my friend pointed out it's totally flawed when people like Hitler come along and don't help the world at all. :-\ So anyway...

Oh, I agree... everything we do and think affects ourselves and others around us... just like that crazy little theory that somewhere in the world a butterfly beats its wings and that same air can contribute to a tornado on the other side of the world. It seems crazy at first, until you realise that the air molecules float freely around the globe, each molecule's presence or absence affecting another...

People are just the same. Everyone I meet affects me in some way... but whether such meetings are pre-ordained or meant to be isn't something I will ever know. As for the purpose behind the meetings... well, I think it not that we are here to made a difference in the world... I think it is more a matter of deciding what we want as a species, growing up as a species and learning from our past mistakes. Our desire for progress is the justification of our purpose, it is a purpose we ourselves have identified and adhered to. Of course, there are still those people who would rather we not progress, or would rather hinder than help. But that's 'free will', and an entirely different argument...

Wow, someone understood what I was  talking about. :o

But yes, I agree it's more like an evolution thing, as we progress through life we learn from our mistakes.

None of us will probably ever know the meaning of life, and there probably isn't one, it would just be nice to think that we had some purpose in this world rather than destroying it...

Although that's another theory. We're here to wreck this world. Kinda depressive :-\....

the physical meaning of the universe is matter against anti-matter(good against evil) and probably to create matter, matter reformed itself, but why or how did it become sentience. but as it seems the meaning is warfare. then again my guess could be astray.


oh and about castro well as i put out as an example he did do something revolutionary he led a revolution that over threw Batista
