What is the meaning of life?

[Hera]

I know. Don't worry about it. It seems that it is not easy to voice one's opinion on here that much...but oh well. I shall say what I have to say if it suits me.

Speak your mind Bill. don't let other deter you from doing so.

i bowed my head in an attempt to keep the topic going which we have stopped(poo poo) but i still keep it unchanged.

[Hera]

Bowed your head? How come?

Sorry...this is spamming...I shall stop. Tell me in IM Billy boy!

The point of life is to live and work hard in every aspect in your life.  If you do good deeds, work hard, and treat others with respect, and above all believe in the Lord then you'll go to heaven.  If you have a poor life then you will experience paradise in heaven.  If we are only science then why would we be the only species that can do so many things with our life.

[Hera]

True. I have always believed that there is another world outside of the problematic one that we live in everyday...and having a belief in something also helps.

I feel bad for those who don't believe in anything. It just shows that they possibly do need help...that is just my personal opinion though.

*feel free to stomp away on that one*

Its like that monty python movie! WOW! The meaning of life?? watch monty python it tells all. lol

[Hera]

No...that is rather satiric.

Watching a Python flick and relating it to something as important as this is a bit silly padded cell...but it is humorous.

Live life. Work til you can pay all your bills. Die. then move onto a different life where there are hopes, dreams and more adventures to come.

What if there isn't another life after this one? If you work and labour all this life without ever enjoying it, and there's nothing better afterwards, well, what a waste. That's what's always kept me from totally giving up on this life... as painful as it is... because I don't know what comes after - if anything.

Of course I do think that our molecules are used by other living things after we die, and we become a part of them, physically, but the actual being that we once were will never come to pass again. In that sense our matter is reincarnated, but us - as we exist now - is only for this life. Imagining there's something better afterward probably lessens the pain of how shitty this life can be, and utterly insignificant we really are in the grand scheme of things, but if you just look at the smaller picture, and stop worrying about the big one and making sense of it, and just appreciate all your moments of living, there is no need to worry or to regret.

good point.....i often wonder if the human race gaining sentience was a mistake or not.

[Hera]

I don't fully believe in re-incarnation at all. I have always believed there is a world outside of this crummy one that we go to when our time has come and our duties are performed on this earth.

Dagger...I can understand your adamant point of view on not believing of another world outside of this one....but if you really thought about it...we all have souls...that pass on to another worldly experience in the afterlife. We just don't rot in wormy earth...we continue on in a different form or perhaps the same form as we were here on earth but another plane of exisistence.

That is just how I see it.

i see that more as hopefull wishing. we already know what thoughts are made of , i just cant see heaven or hell before me. with enough understanding in biology we might know what makes up diversity. i think that there is 99% explanation for everything in life but there is always an anomaly if not more than one. logic is clarity

[Dagger]

   It's still a belief of a kind though, even if it's based on science and 'fact'.

   But Life cannot be satisfactorily defined by science or philosophy, and religion's mysticism makes it easier to accept for some people, while fact may appeal to others. But fact is one thing, truth is another, and subjective to the individual. The meaning of life is subjective to the individual.

if i knew dat den i would be very famous but unfortuneately i dont!anwayz i dont fink dat there is one.......it is just mere exsitence*strokes imaginary beard*

[dying swan]

i agree there is no meaning.   its cool to be here, its like a little holiday. from where ever.

[Piecrust]

The meaning of life is to reproduce and then die there is no underlining matter its merley a biological reason. Its creating stronger people when others get to old and weak. Life is merley a replacement for the last life lost so a race can continue.
