The Meaning of life

[Anthrax]

So im sitting around my house as usal contelplating my misery. Theres alot to comtemplate i asure you. So here the question i have for you. Whats the meaning of life? And I will not accept 42 as an anwser.

[Unknown]

There is no universal meaning to life its as simple as that. Everyone has their own desire in life whether it to be rich, famous, have a family or follow the path of whatever god they have faith in. I guess the meaning of your own life is different depending on your roots and what you were tought while young. When you take a step back and think about what life really is it makes you think, why am i here and going to school and working. It makes no sense when i could die at any moment, and what comes after death. Life is the pursuit to fill ones wants, its different for everyone of us...so whats life to you?

Wont accept 42 as a answer what about 42.5?
Just start thinking u haven't done enough in your life yet think that later when u have lots of money to spend :P

You obviously haven't read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Anyway, how about 41.999 repeating ;)

Meaning of life is to be the man's slave and to shag as many women as possible.

What exactly in your life is so bad?

[sp0om]

hmmm meaning of life. dont rightly know. video games ?? boobies?

[NefariousGaz]

its not shagging women....

meaning of life is whatever gets you out of your bed/couch/wherever you slept. Each persons meaning of life is what keeps them going each day, whether it be money, sex, friends, ect. cuz w/o that you aren't living.

[Unknown]

yea practically what i said

What exactly in your life is so bad?

Look 700 nothing in my like is "so Bad" am i happy no... do i enjoy my life no, but its not terrible. I started this thread just to debate it im bored debating provides enjoyment for me. Personaly I feel that life its self has no purpose if i choose to belive in god (which i dont but thats a topic of another thread) then the purpose would be to prove weather or not you are worthy to go to heaven. However..... Since i dont that leaves a bit of a void. The way i see it Life is what ever you find that makes you happy and fills that void. Life is what gives you purpose. When you find your purpose then you have the meaning of life. If your purpose is to deliver pizzas all day long and your happy then thats your meaning of life. If its to have sex with as many girls as possible the hey lucky you i mean my god im 19 and still havent kissed a girl (and no im not a fag just have bad luck me being a social exile and all im a bit behind with my skills) but As i have found sitting in the dark crying many a night (once again i have problems with depression) Life is what you make of it. Yes i can sit here and say that but really i still belive that you have to come to that conclution your self. I have heard it before and it just didnt sink in. Once i stoped eating lost 10 pounds and became very sucidal things start to fall into prospective. Im not a happy person but i can at least say im content. Contentness is my meaning of life and untill somthing changes my oppion its going to stay that way. Sorry for the long post but thats my 2 cents.

[sk8]

whoa, i agree with u anthrax about the whole god and what u find in life and stuff beacouse if there was a god why would the world be this way...?

[700_Level-EAGLES]

To love serve and worship Him in this life and the next. You have to earn eternal bliss. That's why we exist.

And Exile, I appreciate the long post, I wasn't saying what I did to sound like a dick I really wanted to know what was up.

[dreamreality]

hmm i dunno bout life. i guess life is the meaning of living. u just live and do what u desire. sometimes i dont really understand life, like, why are we here. without life, us, where would we be or what would be doing or will we be doing anything at all... (wow that was totally confusing i have no idea what i just said haha)

[NefariousGaz]

um excuse me mrcodedude...you said "what this man speaks are lies" what YOU speak is a lie. i'm a woman thanku very much!

well said anthrax

[Devlir]

The meaning of life is to find the meaning of life.

bajajaja

(For thoughes who are confused i also run under the name Exile)
Its cool man Im just a lonly, bitter, person not like its gonna change any time soon im just learing to be content with that but i addressed that earlyer in some sence. As for the eternal bliss and loving and serving him i dont buy it but its ur choice to belive just like its mine choice not to. Not to sound like and ass but how many no belivers do you see running around trying to convert people to no belivers... not as many as u see trying to make people belive, who are they trying to convince any ways? but enough of that i do NOT want this turning into a religion thread. were talking about the meaning of life here.

Thank you for the Compliment NefariousGaz i just have 2 questions for u 1. Are you hot? 2. Are you single? but serriously. Ur right wile i cant speak from experience im assuming sex isnt all its cracked up to be. Id be a very happy person for half and hour of cuddling with a girl who cares for me in front of a tv or watching music. Contentment and being with some one u love is what matters. I think Finding your place is the true meaning. When you have found ur place you are content.

Devlir
if you are going to post at least try to think of somthing thats worth wile... not to be mean but reading ur post just made a few of my brain cells die. Try to at least contribute. Thanks yall

[NefariousGaz]

umm
1. i really don't think i'm hot
2. not single, sry..my b/f is how i got into computers

if only more guys thought that cuddling could bring perfect contentment, i find myself avoiding my b/f at times, not because i don't want to see him, but because i don't want to feel obligated to do stuff.

the meaning of life really does apply to religion, especially to some religions. if everyone had the same meaning there wouldn't be a world to live in, the world would be completely mechanical and emotionless. and while at times i could definitely go for that. the few moments of pure happiness i've had make me ok with the people that are apparently here to make me miserable.

[Devlir]

If you really think deep about my post it will make sense.

[NefariousGaz]

and if you've found the meaning of life? then what...

[datalogik]

Life's a b*tch, so "Get busy living or get busy dying" :)

That's great, would you like a cookie?

OMG, that is freaky. And btw meaning of life has just about everything to do with religion, lets say muslims. They do everything they can just so they can have a better afterlife so they work there little a$$'s off just for what ...? Religion is messed up and thats why there is violence like all the wars started by religions clashing. I say f'it beacouse if u dont be religious then u can find somthing else in life , like being a computer nerd like most of us, or being a pimp (never kno).

[Anthrax]

im all do busy dieing for a change i want to live. And i dont belive in any relligon so i dont argee with you there. Relligion is a set of storys to expaint what we dont understand, but thats just how i see it. Im still out there looking for my place in the world and some happyness what ever form its chooses to take.

[Unknown]

why don't you try and do something then, i bet between your jobs and your computer you hardly get out at all

[Anthrax]

I go out on the weekends. Its not that i dont want to go out aww contrair i love to go out... its that the opertunity doesnt arise.

[Shauk]

getting someone to care about fills the void pretty well.

without a god to try and meet standards to, the only other thing is to just find someone that you care about who cares about you just as much.

its a gauntlet of emotions, and you always seem to learn something about yourself in relationships that you never knew before.

how many of us can say that we have someone that we trust enough to tell anything to. your deepest thoughts and questions, deep questions that lead people into 6 hour conversations. talk about your future, your plans, and what the purpose of fulfilling those goals are.

I feel a bit lost sometimes, I'm almost 25 and havent gotten my college education out of the way yet. though im aiming for fall '04 this time, very seriously.

I feel that I have wasted my time enough away from school. I couldnt wait to leave when it was over, i didnt want to go to college because I was SO TIRED of the routine.

6 years of drifting from job to job, from home to home. supporting myself and my girlfriend, trying to stay on top of bills. wondering to myself "how is this going to help me build a future?"

yes I really think its time for me to get specialized in school.

hopefully in 5 years I can look back and say "I set a goal, and I acheived it, and now my life is better because of it"

When you first posted this Anthrax, I had no idea it would lead to arguing. Obviously, the meaning of life is to live, have children, die and then have your children carry out the same cycle over and over. I am trying to start spiritual arguments here, but essentially in the Bible, you can interpret it as saying God created the Earth and its inhabitants for his enjoyment so he could watch it grow and prosper/destroy itself.

[Unknown]

yea religion does have a strong influence on your outlook on life. I believe there is some stronger being then us but i'm not sure what nor does anyone else. I can not say its a god or what but there has to be something that has more powers than us humans. Even then it doesn't make me change how i do things i don't believe u have to go to church or a mosque or whatever place of worship you may go to. Its merely a place to go with other people of your religion but other than that it does not do a thing. I guess you'd just be good in your life and you will end up in some sort of heaven...makes you wonder if there is a heaven though, people spend their lives trying to live in their god's image so they will go to a greater place when they leave earth....what if there is nothing to go to...what if this is our heaven

[NefariousGaz]

i would like a cookie very much thank you

::shivers at picture::

...yea...i know he posted how many posts ago...but i'm kinda slow, forgive me. i would reply to more current posts but i have nothing to argue and i don't totally agree with anthrax's but thats cuz i'm religious, and i'm not up for a religious debate.

[sk8]

lol,
My idea is just do what u want and fill the void with whatever is best for you, said and done we dont need a jesus freak vs athiest ppl battle.... do we...?

[dreamreality]

i like ur gangsta signs sk8 haha funny stuff :p

[sk8]

:) , btw im making a rap song and im putting it in mp3 form so all of u can hear it. No im not serious about it , just trying to have a lil fun and make some too :)

[datalogik]

Nice sk8, why not send a demo cd to Simon from American Idol. :P

[Unknown]

if i met u in person i'd beat ur white ass sk8 if u started throughin out clan signs and using ebonics

[bert202]

I guess that i don't totaly know what life is about. I aim at doing what I enjoy. I also work toward winning. Not short term victory but long. Since i'm only 17 i still have to use my own gambit and set everything up for later in life so far everything is going very well. And since i'm an ambitious bastard this lot goal in life fits me very well.

As far as religion goes (not that i want to hit this topic very much as this wasn't the intent of this thread) I feel that bad stuff happens to allow for free choice. If there was only one choice there would be no free choice. And if nothing bad happened the world would be boring. If there's no chance of losing it wouldn't be any fun when you win (not sure if that made sence).

I also liked Devlir's post. If you think about it does make sence.

http://www.valleyforums.com/showthread.php?t=663 the meaning of life can be found there. But no really, there is no universal meaning of life as Unknown said

[Trigger_Happy_Mongoose]

i really dont agree. i dont think that there is a real meaning of life, i think that we are born, we do what we want with our lives, then we die. there is no real goal in life as you can always be better, after all no one is perfect.

[HawkEye]

if you dont have any meaning to life and wasting your life away, join the service and go to war kill some people and mabe someone do the same to you and you wont have to worrrie about the meaning of life.

yeah that was a dumb ass coment..............

but on the real, i think that the meaning of life isn't based on one thing. Its mutipule things that come together at a certain time that make the peicies fall into the right place to see the whole picture. I have no idea what that picture is either cuz i'm still on the search, of somthing.

[Anthrax]

Im tired of looking i want the picture now but ur right i just think that maby there is another way
