you dont have to be old to agree with that i just like to explore areas of our mind and universe

humans - we have to label everything.

who said you had to be old to that, me boy, even the younger understand, and can understand, but by old, I meant "experience in life" as we all get with our age, its a good one you started, really.

@locutus thanks as i said before i love to explore were no man (HA!) has gone before

If I comment this, I'll get banned.
Anywhoo, I agree with Chips's cynnical remark. It really is annoying how we, the humans, have to stick a label on everything. (this sounds so very wrong )


>-=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-<
Careful what you wish for... You just might get it.

i came up with a thoery after a night of heavy drinking.

*clears throat*

Individual life, its meaningless.
Over time the length of human life has increased dramatically through science and technology, we now life healthier and longer, not so we can DO anything, just so we can continue to exist. If you believe that each individual exists for their OWN purpose then the signs are unfortunately stacked against you. You have 70 / 80 years on average to suss out and complete your purpose? thats crap, and inefficient. No, the meaning of life i think, is for everyone. This whole species shares the SAME, single goal, we're doing it right now, existing.

But not just any existence. To live to continue living is pretty poo and pointless, what we need is a little perspective.

Assuming that the universe began in one calossal explosion, all matter had the same starting point and spread out. Fast forward billions of years and you get earth, looking pretty solid and formed around sol, then primordial soup gives us...SINGLE CELLED ORGANISMS! Ok, you can put the champagne down now, the point is, all life on earth, started at the SAME TIME too, from the SAME POINT or at least, the SAME STATE. In essense, humans, cats, dogs, trees, flys, they all started out as an identical single celled creature yet here we are, typing theories of life on a computer device...is life too freaking weird or what?

I'm talking about evolution here kids, the byproduct of life meets environment. 2 million years ago, i bet homo-whateverwewere couldnt dream of where we'd be later on, and im pretty sure he wouldnt even have the cognative capacity to do so anyway, likewise, i bet we have no idea what creatures we'd be like in 2 million years from now, the point is, we need to get there to find out. The meaning of life is to keep existing, to make sure we evolve, to better ourselves as a species. Only a certain fraction of our brains is used, i call that untapped potential. what if 10,000 years later we've unlocked another part of our brain and can mentally communicate, can run faster, hear and see farther, are stronger and even more intelligent. The possibilities are limitless so long as we wait it out, it could be soon, it could be millions of years away, but so long as we keep the species going, we're allright.

Assuming again that there is such thing as the big-crunch, that eventually, the universe is going to contract and smash into everthing in some great inverse start, whats going to happen to all that super fast moving matter that crunches together, surely something similar to the big bang right? well what if the big bang that we consider the big bang was actually a previous universe's big crunch, what if the lifecycle of the universe is circular, and infinity loop of expand/contract/explode, seems to me like the universe is on the clock somewhat. Maybe the real meaning of life, is to survive it. To evolve or develop to a state where the species can survive the transition? Could be? It sure as hell makes sense to me.

The key points to the theory is that what you do with your life is meaningless, if you live to be a porn star, a politician, a race car driver, its not going to matter one way or the other, whats important is you dont screw up the species by wiping us all the hell out.


"Happy hour, sun, shower,
808's gives you power"

rather a macrocosmic p.o.v. By that argument, shoorly, nothing means anything?

I agree with Arcon. Life arose as a freak of nature. Basically, it comes down to "we're here, so we may as well make the best of it"

Taw, nothing does mean anything. Think about it: we're around for 70-80 years. Less than a blink of an eye compared to time on a Universal scale. It's important not to confuse this "nothing means anything" with "nothing is worthwhile" or similar. You could dedicate your life to a noble purpose, like Mother Teresa. Hardly anybody could say that her work wasn't worthwhile, but that doesn't mean it had any underlying meaning. I'm not bothered about living a meaningless life - it doesn't mean I can't enjoy it and be satisfied at the end.

I'd put my meaning, put i'm not in the mood to get flamed and insulted.

You wouldn't get flamed for your answer to a question like this one. C'mon, post your opinion

This is a site full of cynical guys, of course my opinion will get flamed and shot down, whats the use of doing it

Life IS meaning.

@Sycho
no one will fame and insult you for your beiefs and if they do they suck! i dont think anyone here was flaming me for trying to understand life. we all have our beliefs and to live in harmony we must respect that. i respect that many here think there is little to none meaning of life. but i still belive that there is more to life then what we might see. and i would really like to hear your views becuase this is why i made this thread so people could come and talk about life and what it is. so once again please tell us what you think.


@everyone
Alot of you have said that you think life has little to none meaning. now i do not agree and maybe someday i will. but now i will contuine to try to better my self and explore humanity to the fullest so here i go chapter three of the meaning of life

now i said earlier that our answer might lie with god and mybe god is our answer. but with so many gods how do we kn ow the right one. alot of this is faith and not everyone has that. i belive that all these different gods are aspects of our own humanity. and if i follow myself that means the answer might lie within ourself.

And so how do we explore ourself our mind being almost infinite. well lets start with our feelings. often people throw away logic for rash feelings now to divrte myself from sounding like a vulcan sometimes our feelings are just right. for example at the battle of midway WWII. they had a japense message saying they were going to attack a place. now the americans did not no were. evedeince pointed to remore places in ocenia. one gereral though said his gut told him they would attack midway. they japanese did and becuase of one mans gut the war was turned around.

so we must ask ourselves what does our feeling say when we wonder the meaning of life what does your gut say. for that might bring you one step closer.

If you want to know what life Is You had better start looking cause youre not going to fide the answer easily
