I have a philosphy project where I gotta ask people what the meaning of life is. I've asked friends but he wants a diverse group, and my friends are mostly 17-21 year old males and females. Plus I'm genuinly curious what the people on these boards think the meaning of life is. So post your answer, sex, age and profession. "I don't know" is an acceptable answer Let's hear it
As simple or cliche it may sound, to just be happy. I hate answering that question cause I feel like a gay saying that but it's true. There's no point to living if you're in constant misery.
IMO. The answer to life is to finding a meaning before your death, and to help others in their lives. idk, generic hippie be the change you want to see. Its difficult because we are all hypocrites to this, but that is how it is.
You guys are forgetting that part ^ As for me, I don't know. Age-24 Profession-Construction & Landscaping Sex- All the time..
There's a very specific dialogue about Being that answers this question throughout philosophy. Go read.
Man's search for meaning ultimately leads him to purpose. This purpose can be dynamic, changing moment to moment or at different periods of one's life and can even be found in the most dire of circumstances. It is that purpose, not any sort of pleasure, that definitively adds meaning to life. Male 20 Student
42...? To figure out the meaning of life, you have to figure out what life is, exactly. We take that definition for granted but it's quite a nuanced concept if you really dig into it. Especially when you consider the idea: what was the first living thing? When did "it" go from unaware to self-aware? We're each just a collection of atoms that went through some major changes quite a few billion years ago and for whatever reason ended up huddled together in the form of a "human". There's no further meaning than that - we can each only decide what life means to ourselves. male 26 engineer
The meaning of life is all around us... Unless you want me to get technical, then it's to fuck, make babies, die. The end. Did you enjoy my story? Also, 19/M/UP
Meaning of life for me: Greatly impact those around you- friends and family, teachers and students, and future generations in a good way. To leave your mark on society whether you get credit for it or not.
The meaning of life or the meaning of human life? the meaning of life is to reproduce. the meaning of human life is to be conscious, in every sense of the word. 20, M, Student
