I could be totally wrong when I say this, but I think the meaning of life, is living your life to the best of your abilities

 

[sonicfreak94]

[Naga]

I think that the meaning of life is to survive. It tends to be what pretty much every species tries to do, right? Even humans tend to struggle for survival, think poverty for some countries and areas.

 

[Mystic]

There is no "meaning" other than what you decide to make it.

I can not understand why there's nobody who knows the most important thing in live!

There is really just ONE possible answer for this question. I am really thinking about not telling you, because your not-knowing is annoying me!

Well... ok... I'll tell you. Take a seat and be prepared! The one and only reason why humankind is existing are:

COOKIES

There is nobody who would be able to live without cookies. Cookies are god's incarnation and cookies will still be there, when everything else is gone. We pray to the holy cookies and we die for the holy cookies. Our lives are meaningless without the holy cookies!
MAN! I REALLY WANT TO HAVE COOKIES RIGHT NOW!!! :o



Well... you are asking why I am posting such a dumb and crazy answer? Mystik just told everything that has to be told.

The meaning of life is to succeed. To succeed, one must follow the creed of the Clans of Kerensky. One must never surrender, he must never admit defeat, he must be victorious in all aspects.

 

[zhinchliffe]

I don't think there's an inherent "meaning" to life. I think it just is.

I may be wrong but isn't '42' the answer to "life, the universe & everything"?

My interpretation of the meaning of life is: A word that describes a soul alive, within a body.

 

[Shu]

What Mystic said. The entire universe bends to your will, Neo.

 

[Jon166]

"42..."

42 = 6 * 7
In the bible, 6 is the number of evil, and 7 is the number of good. That's all I have to say.

 

[Shu]

Hey, that is strange. Mmm, Hitchhiker...

There is no "meaning" other than what you decide to make it.

This is 100% true to me.

 

[Maou-Shin Daioka]

I've always been curious, has the term "soul" referred to the human conscience?

And is there really such a thing as true "good" and true "evil", because I just view these terms as not being actual entities, but just ancient terms to try to justify one's actions back then.

And is there really a god out there? Has a god previously existed before this universe was formed? Who is to say this said god was not immortal, and died, long ago, even after the creation of this universe? These are questions that I would really want answered, or at least defined to some degree of logic, not the usual replies I hear from my family, "Believe and you shall see."

No offense to anyone to who was offended (and I don't see how)

 

[BlueZero4]

Me? I live in a God created world, living for the God that died for me on the cross.

 

[Joshthehedgehog]

Me? I live in a God created world, living for the God that died for me on the cross.

I agree with this. Well actually it was Jesus that died on the cross for ALL of our sins.
