What is the meaning of life ?

I shall again quote Metallica, who seems to have figured it out

“Forever trust in who we are, and nothing else matters. Life is ours we live it our way and nothing else matters.”

Life is generally relative… Wouldn’t you rather know the meaning of YOUR life?

I believe the meaning of life is to have fun and enjoy oneself. So I do just that.

Nope. I wake up, get dressed, eat the same damn gruel I eat every morning, walk to work, sit at work for the entire day, doing the same thing I do every day, go to the gym, walk home, make dinner, fall asleep on my chair watching TV, wake up, decide it is time for bed, brush my teeth, and fall asleep.

Hey, you asked. Maybe I’m just sick of these “what’s the meaning of life” questions.

I kinda go with “don’t fuck anyone over.”. I try to be a good person. I will help a person in need if I can.

If I get rejected at the pearly gates (for not worshiping) that means god is the dick and I don’t want to hang out with him anyways.

@johnpowell : Amen to that, brother!

The meaning of life is TO LIVE. Life is its own reason.

I guess its up to us what we want to pick ..negetaive or positive side of life ! If we think of teh positive side ..we can drive or push ourselves better?

I sort of have the idea that there is no reason. I think we were a little bit of an evolutionary glitch. A highly functional glitch, that has overrun the Earth. Sort of like a giant bacteria.

Les ,great to have a third comment from you ! I thought i had pissed u off with my question .

Didnt know we have movie with that name .Thanks !

I have a feeling this isn’t going to be popular. But oh well.

There is definitely a purpose in life.

The purpose of life as I’m presenting it come from the New Testament. Jesus said if a person follows these two things they fullfill all of the required to do ten commandments.

The first one is to love the Lord you God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
The second one is to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

I have turned away from my sins and sinful past, and am trusting in God’s unmerited favor. By living for Him I’ve found direction both in a natural and a supernatural way.
For God so loves…..
By knowing I’m accepted its easy to have confidence to reach out to other’s, and begin to explore spirituality.

@crossword: Now worries, I’m not pissed. I’m just incredibly bored with this current “life” of mine. Hearing how other people “live each moment as if it were my last!!” makes me angry. That is just so impossible at this point in my life, I don’t get how other people have the time or the inclination to do so. Ah, well.

Why do you assume that there is a meaning of life?

i agree with u Les ..we are so very pre-occupied with work ,we have less time left out to enjoy life – may be we just need to grab that oppertunity ,when ever it comes to us.

Sol ,i do assume there is a meaning to life and you youself give it shape with your own thoughts and deeds .Am i clear?

In my opinion…..since you were kind enough to ask…...

I’ve lived life two different ways. One was to get all the pleasure, and love for myself I could. At times I was likely to be selfish. For myself that eventually caused all kinds of heart break.

Now I’ve found a second way of living. Through repentence, I now have a friend who is always with me. Plus life for me is more exciting, and I’m leaving behind an eternal mark on this earth.
Now even though I may start to get lonely, upset, or sad I’ve found through prayer I always have a friend. By living my life in a different way life has become more exciting, I sense direction from a Holy God, and can sense pure energy of love through the Holy Spirit.

I’d sure like to see other’s experience what I’ve been fortunate enough to find.

Life is a cookie
