 Topic: What is the real meaning of life?
Posted: February 27 2011 at 07:20 |
You can post anything you like - someone will probably come up with the actual answer.
My idea is:
We make our own purpose in life depending on our beliefs and life experience.
We should find our own purpose in life instead of just looking for some ultimate answer to life which I think is kind of the point. You perhaps shouldn't be looking for some ultimate answer but its still fun to speculate.
The purpose is perhaps to find a purpose, whatever that is. God could be the purpose. Or attaining a healthy life may be the purpose. Or perhaps finding love or the perfect companion.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I've found it's most fulfilling to live in the moment but not be limited to the moment. Enjoy each day without being swept up into the trivial events or without looking into the distance for too long...
or the Void that doesn't exist is all that exists and we are nothing. I'll stick with that first one though.

Aww man, that would make a great avatar. OK, here's the real meaning of life: If there is no past, there are no problems, and if the future is the crux, then there can be no now.

Probably trying to get through it as fast as possible while trying to cause only a minmum of damage.

To achieve objective awareness and to make lots of money. Oh, and to do nice things to people.

None of you really exists. You're all my imagination and so is this universe. You are not alive and your presence in my mind only has some meaning to me.

To convince as many people as possible on the Internet that you are right and they are wrong.

There ain't no ultimate truth(s) apart from the following:
The only funny thing to come from Whoopi Goldberg is her first name
Arsenal will continue to play the best soccer on the planet and win precisely nothing.
Walter will be cryogenetically frozen in his dotage to ensure he can continue to loathe even post 2089 music
Love is a trailer for a movie that's shorter than the trailer
Everyone is considerably more loveable WITH their vices than without
It's only scarcity that confers a value on ANYTHING
Unwitting but sincere error is a damn sight better than unthinking conventional wisdom
The winner of the rat race is by definition, still a rat

Prog Life is but a shadow
a walking shadow
A poor prog artist that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more
It is a concept album Told by an idiot
Full of complex sound and time signatures
signifying nothing
