There is no single meaning to life is there? Why do people think life has a meaning and it's not just a random occurrence or side effect of some greater existence? What is the meaning of death? No one asks that question even though it is part of the process of life. Life has an equal but opposite meaning to death therefore if you work out the meaning to death you can then find the meaning to life. The meaning of death is control because it regulates the existence of life. As meaning of death is control so therefore the meaning of life must be freedom.

It is a good one, I do agree, but forgot to add it. I just find, well, the people I know prefer not to think of such things other than what is plain to see, me, I am always questing, seeking questions to answers. I left the mundanes of life, new car, plasma screen tv, what the celebrities are doing, all that dross long ago.There is more to life, that I am a firm believer.

the meaning of life, to me, is to grow and learn. Love. share your knowledge and love with others. help others to grow. do more than just EXIST. ok, I'm done being serious for a while.. I think I just used up my quota of serious for the week....

This is how it works You're young until you're not You love until you don't You try until you can't You laugh until you cry You cry until you laugh And everyone must breathe Until their dying breath No, this is how it works You peer inside yourself You take the things you like And try to love the things you took And then you take that love you made And stick it into some Someone else's heart Pumping someone else's blood And walking arm in arm You hope it don't get harmed But even if it does You'll just do it all again Not as concise as other quotes but said so much better than I could

Aneirin -> RE: The most asked question of all time (4/19/2008 2:36:33 PM)
Ah, but what about your own thoughts, not the thoughts of others?

colouredin -> RE: The most asked question of all time (4/19/2008 2:47:02 PM)
There is no meaning, life is a series of moments, stuff happens without any reason and all we can do is wait for the shit to pass then enjoy the happiness. Life is made by the people around you and the people are around you because of the person that you are.

quote: ORIGINAL: Aneirin What is the meaning of life ? I don't know, so I trudge along, surviving when I'm not able to thrive and trying to appreciate each moment within the unknown and finite time frame. Most of the time I succeed in my appreciation, sometimes I fail. Most of the time I learn lessons, sometimes I learn them, but ignore them. The one thing I do know is that getting to experience just being human is pretty damn cool. Celeste

You want to know the meaning about life???? OK. Pain of Salvation: America (one of my fav swedish bands) You brought us the a-bomb in so many ways Endorsed by God and The Book So God loves a war monger? Hey Mr. Blix: forget Iraq and the time it took 'Cause I know just where to look "Could we have a vote please?" They came with a song - America They wouldn't stay long - America We are America God bless America God bless America and Capitol Hill 'Cause no one else will So now you are scared The Arabs will kill for their god Like you do for yours? Protect your obesity with your life man Hey - Angry God or Diet Coke? Who cares it's all a joke "Heil homo pecuniae" Saving us yet another time Earning a buck on every dime Sick of America Sick of America Sick of America and Capitol Hill Moving in for the next kill Did you say "I love you"? A simpler democracy Where every flaw and failure is called a "Right" A new form of freedom Based on your income, your color, creed And your choice of gun But it provides great fun "Dr. Phil or Oprah?" "Letterman or Leno?" "Idol or Big Brother?" (we'll be back after this short break) It could have been good America It could have been great America Land of the brave and free Welcoming you and me But this Brave New World is not as new anymore Each day a new store Each year a new war While chosen whites rule the poor ...in America Oh, America Don't you walk out on me? Just wait a second now Please hear me now Oh... I'll do my best to love you Oh yes I will I know you're out there C'mon Raise your voices Don't let them ruin your reputation Don't let them wreck your constitution Not out of fear Not out of greed But you had a good run America Your day in the sun America Hello British Empire Hello Roman Empire Hello Soviet There is a new kid in town Joining the gone down Finding what you found Treading your worn - worn down ground Rise to your former glory Be brave and warm Oh America If I say I love you If I say I love you If I say I love you Dare you love me too?

6. Kingdom of Loss another song from pain of salvation Someone sells us Toys™ in a cheap cartoon Someone sells us Cars™ in the latest Bond™ that's coming soon Someone sells us Trends™ through a sitcom star Someone sells Herself™ in a docu-soap that goes too far Life™ on sale! "Could someone please just tell me what happened? I mean, first we pay for fast-food that will make us all fat and tired. So then we pay for elevators, so we won't have to climb the three stairs up to our apartments. Then we buy freaking stairmaster™ machines So we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV. Now, if that doesn't make us winners I don't know what will. I bet we would hang ourselves if the world would just cut the slack. And now you think maybe you should see a shrink, Help you feel alive again - yeah, that's a plan! Just tell us who to pay. Someone sells us Man™ in a White House™ speech Then Woman™ tightly pressed between two bouncing breasts, on a Baywatch™ beach Someone sells us Us™ everywhere I turn Then introducing Them™ to earn stock-points on our concern All for sale, all for sale Welcome down to planet Earth™ Please don't ask us what it's worth You will notice that the world you found Is slightly tattered and worn down Someone sold us every stain Now if you wish to complain There's an open spot at 6 PM It's when Caucasia is listening If you're tearing down my world Please just try to do it gently There is love inside For a dream that has to die "See, it's really all about time and choice. The fast food saves us enough time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it. The elevators save us just a little more, the StairMaster™ lets us choose exactly when to walk the stairs. Time is so important these days, it's becoming a fucking disease, and I guess in a way it is since it's bound to kill us all in the end. Now with all the time and money we stash away on others' expense, I can only assume that the tickets to hell are really expensive. For some reason, it's important to be first in line." Someone sells us God™ in 2-for-1 with Shame™ Someone sells us War™ and the marketing looks just the same Someone sells us Fear™ on TV each day a shape for every taste; if the flavour's right, we gladly pay All on sale, We're all on sale, Welcome to the only Earth™ Please enjoy your only birth You will learn to take more than you give Buying scars you must live with Someone sold us every scar They somehow made us what we are We all want that spot at 6 PM But no one is really listening No - not anymore We're all too busy buying Sex™, buying War™ Buying Self-confidence™, Security™, Insurance Plans™ Just buying More & More™ As you're tearing down our world Please just try to do it gently There's still love inside For the dream that has to die As you're tearing down our world

Gwynvyd -> RE: The most asked question of all time (4/19/2008 3:27:55 PM)
Ok.. on a serious note.... ( ya knew it would happen) and thanks for asking.. this was actualy posed earlier this week to me. The meaning of life to me any ways: To go through each experiance life gives us, and we steer ourselves through... becoming better people and more enlightened beings. Learning to love each other and our selves, Learning to be tolerant of the things we do not understand, learning about the things that freighten us, learning about who _we_ are, and those who touch our lives. It is the journey to become enlightened and to honor and love ourselves, each other and the divine.... to take that back to the creator when we give up this body when it is no longer needed and to share with the creator and others who are returning back "home" what we have learned so that the knowledge is not lost but built apon. If we have not learned enough in our life times we are sent back to learn more.. and experiance more. If we are complete then we get to stay "home" and help others on thier journey. This in fact is what my name Gwynvyd means. bright smile This Maya.. this existance here is just part of the process... as is death.. One of my faveorite movie lines comes from The Fountain. "Death is the path to awe" I believe that. I also believe that we can connect to multiple other selves we have in other times.. and other planes... but that is a difficult concept to explain. ( Super String theory helps explain a bit ~ it is akin to living twice at once ) The Indian Yogis believe simular.. and it is wonderful to sit and talk with them. Gwyn
