some lives should have never started in the first place.



While I certainly agree with the second statement.  I completely disagree with the first.

I believe W/we are here to learn.  Learn to love, accept, and grow spiritually.
OR to experience something in order to better understand and grow that way.

A lesson I learned in Boy Scouts was to leave a campsite in better condition than I found it.

I feel the meaning of my life is to leave this world better than I found it.

definately 42.

on the other hand I've discovered that jumping in to a bottomless pit of a question that really hasn't any answers just makes life a bit more complicated, and gives way for noble expectations and concequently huge disappointments. So my motto is: just be.

"No mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were alive in that corner of time in the world.  Whatever it meant.  There was madness in any direction, at any hour.  You could strike sparks anywhere.  There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right.  That we were winning.  And that, I think, was the handle.  That sense of inevitable victory over the forces of evil.  Not in any mean or military sense.  We didnt need that.  Our energy would simply prevail.  We had all the momentum.  We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.  So now, less than 5 years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes, see the high water mark.  That place were the wave finally broke, and rolled back."

Hunter S. Thompson
Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas
 
I suppose the reason I posted that quote is because life is something that happens, whether or not you ever understand the meaning.

What is the meaning of life.... hrmmmmm.....

If there is a thing near to universal meaning of life.

I'd say it's the desire to create and discover.

What person doesn't like to create something. The cook likes creating dishes from parts of otherwise less desirable components. The engineer makes machines and structures, that serve a greater purpose than there individual parts.  The artist creates pictures, or sculptures. The scientist seeks to understand how things are created and function. To see and understand the process of creation manifest.

I'd say it would be impossible for anyone to be happy and content, living a life devoid of creating and discovering. It's just different people are interested in creating different things.

There isn't a meaning or there is only a meaning you place upon it yourself.

'Life's a bitch and then you die.' Just about sums it up.

All these years I thought that quote was...

Life's a Bitch and so am I.
