the meaning of life

wow, this has already been figured out. the meaning of life is whatever you want it to be. if your born and want to become a rockstar. than your MEANING OF LIFE is to be a rockstar. if you just want to stay fucked up all day then drugs are your meaning of life. Or if your like me, you dont have, and dont give a fuck about the meaning of life. your just alive, numb to it all.

 

Sometimes I lie awake at night and struggle with this question; “what is the meaning of life?” But at the end of it I find that to ponder such a question is like wondering what's at the other end of the universe, or what's under a rock in a field of a country that I will never visit? How would such knowledge help me? Similarly, would knowing the meaning of life enrich me and make me a better person? Would being able to tell my friends and family make me a more complete human being? Would the answer eliminate my daily fears? I must answer “fuck no” to all of these questions if I'm going to get any sleep because the human experience is enhanced not be gaining answers to insolvable questions but by asking more questions. Knowledge tends to pile up and not all of it is of practical use, but questions push us forward to places we can barely dream about.

To know the meaning of life is to take away life's mysterious grandeur and reduce it to so many dissected facts that can't be digested and enjoyed by everyone. Not everyone can understand linear algebra or Newtonian physics but everyone can enjoy a cool glass of water on a hot day. There is no ultimate meaning as we can comprehend it--thankfully--because the answer to that question undermines our very existence. To be human is to never have complete answers. I have no idea how many cells are in my body but I love chocolate. I could never count all the sand on a given seashore but I'd love to walk through it barefoot. I could never tell you where all of the ingredients to Captain Crunch come from but it's some of the best stoner food you can eat.

So... Sit back, roast a bowl, and be thankful that life offers glorious sensations for all of us to feel.

“The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth.”

~Yuan-sou~

Stay green.

 

i think the meaning of life is just to have fun and to keep repopulating of course with a cure comes a diseas and with bad comes good but u have to look past the bad and focus on the good

 

there is no meaning of life. we just happen to be the pinnacle of evolution and we are capable of asking advanced questions such as " what is the meaning of life?"

Wow there are atually some smart people here, excellent post.

 

That's the meaning of the word life bro. I personally don't think there is a meaning to life. I beleive in evolution and I think we started from something and will never stop evolving. In millions and millions of years yeah I think life will be much different then it is now but that's not the point. WE are alive now, I don't plan on wasting my time trying to figure out what it will be like when I'm dead cause the point is I will be dead. Sure it'd be great to know but I honestly don't care.

 

AK Infinity, your posts are just too good. +rep

 

"Life" IS just a word. I submit it's an illigitimate question. It's too general. What is meant by the meaning of life exactly? The meaning of my life? The meaning of your life? The meaning of the existence of all things living in the universe? Or do you just mean a doctrine by which human beings should live?

What does anything mean really? Meaning is just reference data. Words are just symbols for observed things.

Oh well, that's the way I see it anyway. I'm more than likely wrong. It's only philosophy.

+Rep. Amen brother.

I like to do the best i can, But i still think there is no meaning.

I feel the same, I honestly dont care, I dont bother about it. I live for now.

And +Rep to AK too, Real interesting post.

 

I believe you're given life, and its empty, and the point of it is to try and remain content and happy with it all. Things that you can do to fill your life up is have and maintain a family, get into relationships, and really just please all 5 senses.

 

you find that out when you die i believe

 

the meaning of life is to have no meaning. no identification. no roots. do what you desire, don't interfere with anyone elses personal space, and respect all. freedom of mind, body, and spirit.

 

Truth and love, my friend, truth and love.

 

Reproduction

 

there is no meaning, because not everyone would interperate one goal or focus of a life, its like the taoist theory of relativity, what the meaning could be to one person to another, is completely different. Anyways life is what u make of it.
