What is the meaning of life?

[Dagger]

meaning of life is to have fun

Then why are people never happy?  

[Trueogre]

Because they've forgotten how to smile.

I don't see why life has to have a meaning.
We all know life is the act of living, I don't think it is anymore than that.
There is no pupous to our living, just that we are what we are.

I live my life on the theory that everything happens for a reason. Now I completely understand if people disagree with me, but it's just the way I work.

I cannot believe that our whole existance is pointless, that we are just here to- well for no reason at all.

I do believe that we are part of a much bigger picture. This is going to sound really odd, but have you ever seen "Men In Black"?? At the end of that, they kinda zoom out of the universe and everything is just part of this huge game of marbles that these huge monsters are playing with.
Anyway, despite the fact I don't think we're being "played" by giant green monsters, I do think that we are not the "point" of life the universe and everything, that we are just a teeny tiny part of the bigger picture, and that sometime in the very very distant future, when we have all moved on to... well... wherever this will proved, and we will find more universes and stuff.

This topic could go on forever and nobody will ever agree.
So, I think you all need to realise the fact that the answer of life, the universe and everything is 42.

There was once a cartoon I saw in 2000AD.  It was one of Tharg's future shocks.

It was only on one page as far as I can remember, but it struck me as being very thought provoking, and it's along the same lines as Men in Black.  But this cartoon strip was written in the 80's.

Basically, it was about a world that was doomed.  A large moon was heading towards their world, and they had to escape else die.

It starts with the moon in view and people scared to death all running to their ships.  But the ships can't house everyone, so it's first come first serve.

Well as the ship takes off the moon crashes into their world.

the most likely meaning of life is to survive

[Pruurk]

according to douglas adams it is 42

[Ethiwen]

surviving is probbably right, my thought on the whole meaning of life is, that life isn't worth living there is nothing but sadness for me and there is always a war or something going on, what kinda life is that?

Life is hoping and dreaming, and then working to accomplish what you were hoping and dreaming for.

We may be nothing to the universe, but we're everything to ourselves.

I can't believe I still have stuff to say--If you don't like something, change it. If you're sad then make yourself happy. If you don't like wars then help make peace.

Just a thought.

[Unebriwen]

wow.. this is still here

well, since I deleted myself my views on life actually changed a lot. I think that we're all set out here for different purposes. I also believe that we're here to serve eachother - not ourselves. I got a whole lot more to say, but my mind's gone too far away

[Durin]

well you only deleted urself like less than two weeks ago, and its not uncommon for a thread to last that long

[^Yaker^]

"Death" is the meaning of life. Life is a the precusor (or whatever that word is) to death and darkness. The evil in this world is a taster for when you all reach hell!
