What Is Your Meaning Of Life
<div class="IPBDescription">that keeps you going from day to day</div> Not everyone of us are blind to ask these questions from time to time.
Everytime I look around this not so very fine world...I ask myself if it is all worth fighting for? Dieing? And even living?
I mean, to all you who might just sit around at the computer, or to even those of you with so to speak lives, what is it? Are you happy?
I don't mean to be negative, only curious.

What keeps me going from day to day is the 100% confidence that their is an infinitely powerful God who loves and cares about me, and has created me for a purpose. He also loves and cares for the people around me, even those I dont know, and expects me to treat them as such.
No ones life is without point, no matter how much time you spend either in front of the PC or out at the pub.
Take away God, however, and I'll go mad like Nietzche.
1) To justify your existance, through [religion/unwestern thoughts aside]:
- your perceived happiness
- comparison of your life to the lives of others
- your 'achievements' in life
- the importance of your existance to others
OR
2) You continue living and existing because you're afraid of either death, or of not being alive.
Just something to think about, i guess. Start picking holes in it in 5.. 4... 3...
Finding a reason to live, and the lack of will to end my life...
And playing ns/do fun stuff with friends/enjoy the feeling you're making yourself usefull when you are actually working/learning stuff..
Plain and simple.
And sex.
I hate to ask , "AND THEN?"
/me brings out the console and does a map change to RL_afterlife
(RL standing for Real Life)
Or generally making myself feel good(which can also be done by helping others mind you).
<edit> Indeed I meant archi<b>e</b>ve, thx Align</edit>
Find the one true love is a great accomplishment, such as I have.
And right now, she is my life, without her, there is no life for me.
To find your soulmate might seem impossible, it can be VERY difficult, but its possible!
Life is about passion for other people.
So well, I live because I couldn't see any reason not to. There's downsides, true, but most of life is cool.
You do mean achieve, right?
Because the feelings ARE temporary. If you had a constant high you would get used to it. You would feel happy for being alive and having a warm body with your heart beating at a soothing rhytmical pace, only, you take it for given. I expect there is some japanese or chinese art that allows you to feel this, like Zen or something, but as I don't know how to do it, I'll hunt for the more extreme and rare feelings.
By the way, I don't do drugs of any kind(including alcohol and nicotine), and never will. It's artificial. Better to play games and get an adrenaline high, even if you aren't exercising much.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no meaning to life other than what you attach to it.
"The finite mind cannot comprehend the infinite, just as the living mind cannot comprehend the dead mind, even though it may think it can."
This all comes together into one huge spiral of birth and death.
Well, that's what it means really :/
And of course, to add to it, anything that starts, stops.
Meh, I hate myself for knowing this <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
EDIT : I'd like to quote Nem0's sig, because it's just cool anyhow.
"The best thing about life, it's temporary."
My personal view on life is that this world is a festering ****hole, and that human beings are the lowest form of life on it. So all you can do is strive to hold yourself to personal laws of morality - and sanity. When all the world goes to hell around you, and you're an island in a sea of idiocy and blind unthinking, ultimately all you can do is look after yourself. Yes, I'm elitist.
In short, life has no inherent meaning. Human beings are designed to do one thing better than anything else: find meaning in things. By attaching significance to otherwise insignificant things, and then constructing further meanings based on these original concepts, we're far more complex than those of the other spieces on the planet.
But, ultimately: "we think we think, therefore we think we are". There's no higher purpose.
[edit]Nah, screw it. I'm too tired to phrase sentences properly. G'night.[/edit]
If there is an after life you've got a lot of time to figure it out once you're dead.
If there isn't... then there wasn't any point to life, but at least you didn't waste your time worrying about it.
But if you MUST know, the meaning of life is Carbon Goes Wild!
Anyway, my meaning of life...survival basically, natural instict that keeps us living. But the only true thing that keeps me living is the quest for knowledge and some curiosity...I mean, tommorow is alway different, and who knows what wonders (or horrors) it might bring...so why end it now, because im curios as to what tommorow will bring.
