What is the meaning of life?

[violater]

 life could be a mistake aswell a and the only meaning is to survive the best way possible, evolution is just a way to adapt better to certain conditions. now why we are sentient could also  be a way of adapting. if people think in other ways than the "herd"(or whatever) they can find a better way of surviving, instead of adapting into ever changing conditions.

i think the meaning of life is, 'living it and not wasteing it' live it to it's full potential and make something of yourself

I agree with you destiny but I think living should be more than what it is already...I mean look at us, our lives contain: going to school to learn things so we can get a decent job so we can earn money. The way I see it, all life is about is earning money, getting a husband/wife and having a family shouldn't there be more to life than just this? Having someone to love and having a family is great and everything but sometimes that just isn't enough for me, I feel as if this life is sometimes not worth living because when I'm older all that will happen is I'll find someone I want to be with, have a family and have a good job, but to me that's boring...I want to make something of myself and be satisfied with my life cos when I look at, in the end we're all going to die so why not make something out of life then just getting money and having a job

if you feel that way then why dont you quit society, the bricks are made up in that there are a select few winners and whole bunch of loosers(thats us yay)

i reckon that all humans are really a virus engineered by a superior alien interlect to destroy all other sentinent life in the universe....yes im mad

I'd like to think there was a meaning to life because it's just a comforting thought but maybe we're just, well here. I think even if there isn't a meaning to life though, living everyday to the fullest is a pretty good way to go.

My outlook can be somewhat quasi-hedonistic I suppose. I don't know if there's a reason or a point to living... but you should certainly try to enjoy life while you can. After all, if it turns out that we are just here, and there was no real point other than to make the best of what you've got, then a life of self-inflicted hardship wouldn't be it's own reward... unless living it actually made you feel good in some way. Most people are like this, no matter what their religious or philosophical stance... it's a rare person that will live in misery for the sake of misery and gain nothing from it, not even catharsis. Most of us have some reason for doing the things we do... and that reason is usually to satisfy ourselves.

My life has never followed a 'path' as some other lives do... a series of acquisitions or desired experiences... such as finding love, finding a home, getting married, having children, etc. I do not wish to follow this path... in fact I feel no need for any of those things. For me, the meaning of life is simply what it is, what it feels like, and what it proves of itself. The greatest meaning life will ever have for me is born inside the mind, and it will never be more than a notion, a guess, an observation. I always bear that in mind, and it is enough.

Live fast die young look good in a coffin hahahahaha

Didn't some teen suicide say that too... no, "leave a pretty corpse" is what he said, based on a website he visited...

[TIG YOURE IT!!]

I still think if you knew the meaning of life there would be no point to living, because then there would be no wondering, no suspense, no "What's going to happen next?" Because you would know what to expect and what is the fun in that?

the meaning of life is simple. to pass on ones genetic code

the meaning of life is simple. to pass on ones genetic code

In that case my life has no meaning at all. If it is true, however, and if the meaning of life is nothing more than to pass on genetic patterns, then life itself is meaningless. What meaning can be found in existence simply for existence's sake, in a world destined for destruction? If the cycle of birth and death is never broken, just what is life existing for...?

Well, I'm inclined to think that life exists simply because it can. Just in the same way that the laws of physics determine the movement of matter between states of instability and stability, so the behaviour of DNA molecules and other chemicals associated with life behave equally spontaneously and passively. DNA can re-form itself in solution based on the stability and intrinsic attractions of its chemical structure, utterly independent of outside forces - it exists because the configuration of its structure contains mutual attraction. What I am saying is... that life has assembled itself in the same spontaneous way as a crystal of salt does upon evaporation of its solution, or an explosive separates itself from its previously unstable state in a violent reaction. The laws of physics... these are, it seems, what provides the presence of life. And as such - unless physics itself possesses some meaning - even genetic patterns, survival instincts, memories, evolution and the constant struggles of life... are all meaningless.

For me, life has no real meaning because noone of us was asked if he wants to live. But we are here so let's make the best out of it.
