What do you think is the meaning of life?

Ender · January 15, 2015, 10:07:42 PM

To me I think it's to make the world a better place for the current generation and the generations to come.

Verbatim · January 15, 2015, 10:09:32 PM

oh boy

nah, instead, i'm going to judge all of your meanings for life

there is no "meaning of life", but there is a reason, a drive, to continue in the sense that there's a lot of sentient beings here on earth, and a lot of them are suffering--so the best course of action, in the most basic sense, is... "prevent the suffering"

that's my purpose for living--"prevent future suffering"

part of this is ceasing to procreate, or at least, being an advocate for that idea

see, when you say "make the world a better place," i can agree with that, but we have a completely different idea as to how to go about doing that

There is no meaning. You're supposed to make your own meaning.

very good

you're "supposed" to make your own meaning

so, my meaning for life is "eat lots of potato chips and murder anyone who looks at me funny"

sound good?

To see and experience as many things as possible.

as many things as possible? i'm a quality over quantity kinda guy, personally

i'd rather have sex once than... get tortured in one hundred different ways

Don't die, have sex.

Epsira · January 15, 2015, 10:18:26 PM

There isn't a meaning but what you define yourself.
So mine involves freedom to self realize and explore my potential in order to live to an actual space age and master disciplines I find important and intriguing.

i might have said something along those lines before

when i was twelve

now i realize that that's not the "meaning" of life so much as it is the function of life

you've shown yourself to be rather unintelligent in past threads, though, so i doubt you know the difference

Aether · January 15, 2015, 10:20:48 PM

Well if somehow the whole of existence objected some sort of meaning to life in the universe, it wouldn't pertain to our insignificant little rock specifically, that's for sure.

Personally, I don't think there's any meaning to life at all, ultimately. Life and everything else in reality just does as it is conditioned to do.

Don't die, have sex.

well that just falls flat on its face, because of one simple thing

...you're going to die

if you wanna say something like, "don't suffer," or... "don't die too soon," you might be on to something there

sex ought to be lower on your list of priorities, if you ask me, but whatever

To enjoy it. You only get one go-round, so you should just live your life in a way that makes you personally happy.

Reproduction is the goal of every living being. In deciding not to do that, you have failed your most basic task as a living being. Nice job.

I don't care.

Hey I have plenty of drive to do things. I just don't try to object my reason for living on other people. That is folly.

that's always important, but that's more of a guideline instead of a "meaning"

as a meaning, enjoyment means jackshit

No, being happy is the only meaning. There is no afterlife, we're just atoms that are slowly dying. If you were unhappy in life more than you were happy, you wasted it.

Verbatim · January 15, 2015, 10:27:50 PM

you guys shouldn't waste your time trying to counterargue, because i'm not arguing with you

there is no argument here

your meaning of life sucks if it doesn't account for all the suffering in the world

I'm sure you expected that from me. At least it isn't "annoy the crap out of people by preaching in their faces 24/7" like some Christians would have said >.>

Okay? The sooner you learn that people have different opinions than you, the sooner you can fucking chill out for once.
