Reply With QuoteTo me its pretty simple... the meaning of life is whatever you want it to be/make it to be (whatever your goals are, or what you like doing, what you like to spend your life on). I mean life is what you make it to be... I don't see it as there is any "bigger picture", its what each individual makes of it.

It's not a proper question just as "what is the meaning of a rock" is not a proper question. You need to define precisely what you mean with the word "meaning". Do you mean definition, or relevance, purpose, goal, symbolic meaning or reason? Or what? Under your definition, can a rock have meaning and if not, why can life? Then you need to define what you mean with "life". Do you mean human life, as in society? Personal life? Just experience even? Biological life as a physico-chemical process? Evolution? How are we supposed to know? Then we can talk. Originally Posted by slash112 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1eP84n-Lvw

There is no "meaning." In my opinion. Okay?

Seriously, nobody's said that yet? Shame.
Anyhow, like everybody has said, it's a bit of a silly question. To me, life has no inherent meaning; it's just something that happens. Your life can have meaning inside itself, but viewed from an objective viewpoint it's completely useless.
It's lucky we can't be that objective. Originally Posted by Taosaur

To me, life is just a temporarily illusion for something greater (afterlife).

What is the meaning of 'what is the meaning of life'? :\
Then maybe I can answer.
soft she stirs on starlit sand,
and clasps wet shore within her hand.
she turns to face the silent seas,
and through her heart, a vital breeze.
she wonders at this strange new land.

O'nus I've been using that mirror picture in class for the past 2 weeks. My lesson plans have come to haunt me even on DV.
