What's the non-Douglas Adam's meaning of life?


I think this is where the thread started to slide off topic, so I decided to do the splits.

Teh groinache. Teh hideous hideous groinache...

damn you for prefixing that question!!

There is no meaning to life. Everything is just a poinless waste of time and resources.

somehow i think the meaning of life is the find the meaning of life, and then follow it... and every person has a different 'meaning' because of their personality/taste/etc.

i know this sounds kinda like en easy answer - but well everyone has different goals, and to pack that down to one large saying would be tough, and it would probably require some more knowlegde on how we work psychically(sp?), like a 'map' of chain reactions and interactions...

this is the .44 Wand, the most powerful wand in the world, so did I fire 5 or 6 fireballs? Now you got to ask yourself one question pal, do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

What we really need is a topic for comms to vent their commrage. So, if they just had a terrible game, they can complain about it. They could also ask what they could of done differently to get players to be organized, etc.
It's twice as clear as heaven and twice as loud as reason.

Hardly seems like a worthwhile reason.

I follow Christ. Most fulfilling thing I've ever done and ever will do.

lets keep the religious chat to a minimum. not that there is anything wrong with what you said, i just don't want to see it go down that road, further. just for future reference. you can say, i'm buddhist, or christian, or whatever. but by gut instinct tells me we should keep religious discussion to a nice low key level :)

To quote Last Order: You don't need a reason to live.

And to add my own thoughts: If you needed one, you'd stop living without one. But even those who can't find something to justify their existence keep on existing. You don't need to find an excuse for your life, you don't need to see yourself as a part of some greater plan. You don't need to justify your existence. You were born for no particular reason, you might well die for no particular reason, and there's no particular reason for the life you lead inbetween. Life's what you make it. If you need a reason for your life, make one. If you need justification for your existence, justify it. But don't go searching for the answer like somebody else can tell you, or like a slip of paper will magically flutter from the heavens with directions for your course in life.

Unless you are a devout of Darwin's teaching, in which case the meaning of life is to reproduce. So go do that, I hear it's mighty fun.

Life is what you make it, is i think one of the best Emo killers - at least in my coincidence...Yes im emo at times..

I'd have to argue the contrary. I wouldn't have the meaning in my life I have now if I didn't look for it, and I wouldn't have the purpose I have if someone had not told me.



Nobody needs a reason to justify their life. But let me tell you, it sure as hell makes it more incredible and amazing to live out when you have a destination in mind, one where just moving in that direction provides joy.
