The Meaning of Life

[ChildishLegacy]

I find it hard to show sympathy to be honest. I'm in a terrible point in my life at the moment, I've lost my mother to cancer a month or so before my final A level exams, in which i need to get A*A*AA to get my grades for my Cambridge offer. That said I am still very passionate about certain things, still laugh and have fun and still have a very good outlook on life the universe and everything.

How about you stop moping around and feeling sorry for yourself and realize you only get 1 shot at living, so bloody well live. It doesn't matter if it's pointless or if there's some greater purpose in life or not, just experience life because that's all you can really do.

Life doesn't need to have a meaning. Experience everything you can, touch it, taste it, smell it, see it, etc. Take up a few hobbies, don't have multiple plans that you have to strictly stick to. Set a few core goals, like finding a house, or going to a certain country, and everything else should fall into place. The journey is always much more interesting than the destination.

As the Assassins say, nothing is true; everything is permitted. It's merely an observation on the nature of reality, and doesn't mean you have to change how you live.

is to make life better for your species and ultimately your planet, whether that be through raising the future generations or through aiding the world through the simple act of planting a tree.

Get outside and remember that life has existed without modern trappings for AGES! Go and get involved with nature!

Aigis says "Friendship" is her answer. You need to find yours.

Life is what you make of it and right now you're just moping around being miserable wondering what your purpose is when your purpose is just to fucking live life however the you want (within the law of course ) and enjoy the time you have.

As others have said, go outside and experience new things. Travel, find a nice girl (or boy) and just try new and exciting things. Then when you're old n stuff just look back and go "What a ride.."

I think you should do something to make the world a better place. Send money to people who will save rainforest or rescue wild animals or do some other kind of good things. You don't have to be important or noticed to make a difference. And besides, giving money away is something to do if you can't be bothered doing stuff yourself. Also, if this life isn't what you wanted, I guess you'll just have to hope that the next one will be more interesting.

You're doing it wrong. The fact that we are so insignificant in comparison to the universe is WHY everything has meaning. Do you realize how pointless things would be if life consisted of you and only you? According to many peoples definition of "important" you are now vastly so, since who else is there to be above you? Without getting too philosophical anyway.

But now what? What significance can you derive out of a world of only you? We need other people. In fact, we need a lot of them. Only by proving that you can stand taller among so many, or better yet, simply realizing that BECAUSE you are one of many, your life is yours to live.

Ultimately, you have no real need to do anything for anyone but you, but if you do so anyway, then you know you have something to prove, something to live for. And you can look into that vast universe where systematically you mean nothing and know that despite that, you can forge your own path and make your own destiny.

Besides, if the universe were not so vast, what would there be to explore? To attain for? To have hope in? It gives us a necessary feeling of perspective. To know that while we are small we do not need to remain that way if we don't want to.

You have to make you're own meaning, the universe is not going to give it to you.

I did not hit her! I did nooot.

Oh hey Mark.

How's your sex life?

You're tearing me apart, Lisa!

Once you figure out where those 4 sentences come from, ANYTHING else is the meaning of life, because in comparison to the source of those 4 sentences, it cant possibly get any worse.

Seriously though, why worry about the "meaning" of life, or anything really. Its just there, have fun, enjoy it, go out with a bang, there isnt much else you can do with it. Sure we can worry about death, diseases, whats out there and so forth, we can think about it, wonder and be amazed at how small we are compared to the universe, then again, the universe probably isnt going to ask just why something so small as us exists, so we may as well not bother.

The Universe doesnt give a shit, so why should we? Enjoy it while it lasts and thats all there is to it.

Im just going to leave this here i think..

Just go with the flow.
If you make plans you'll build up expectations which will probably end in dissapointment.
