Question. What Is The Meaning Of Life?
208 Answers
Answer. There isnt one. This can be the only rational response.
There is no *ultimate* meaning, although we are all capable of making *a* meaning of our individual existance.
For some, such as christians and muslims, the meaning of life is to get themselves a place in paradise. But this doesnt answer the question, it only removes it a step. What then is the meaning of a life lived eternally?
For others who believe in reincarnation, the meaning is to become perfect/reach Nirvana/or whatever but doesnt answer the question. Again, it only removes it a step. What is the actual *meaning* of it all?
The only rational response to the big question must be there IS no ultimate meaning. Each and everyone of us are only here due to a chance meeting of a sperm meeting an egg.
We are born and then we die, like everything else in nature. A zebra's life has had no meaning when its been eaten alive by a lion. A tree's life has had no meaning when its been chopped down for firewood.
I totally fail to see why the religious cannot grasp a simple truth.
I would love to be proved wrong though.

Andy - ''.... and each thinks the other is the dog.''
Given that you claim to have reached this conclusion after such a long period of debating, leads me to the conclusion that you think you know it all, have nothing to learn, and you speak as one of a superior intellect.
You speak as if to a child.
Sadly, in my experience, your disposition reveals a lack of humility, which is itself a barrier to knowledge.

Pixie - As a Christian, my belief in the gospel message, is that death is not final, but is a transition to a spiritual life, where one is either with, or without God, depending on the personal choices we freely made now.
Eternal life with God is for us, unimaginably joyous, giving and receiving love from God Himself.
