      To 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.

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

      So how are you taking meaning here?

      You think a life is even the kind of thing that can have a meaning?

      I call it a category mistake.

      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.

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

      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.
