HAHA!!!!!1

Meaning of life... ah yes.  I believe Monty Python has it all sorted out.  

Society has conditioned me to do the rat race.  Why do I participate?  I haven't quite found the answer to that one.  I do, however, like the Nihilist approach ie Big Lebowski.  We could create a small controlled experiment (ie, The Giver) and develop different mini-societies of Nihilists, agnostics, religious nuts, chicken wing worshipers, etc... The world we live in is developed in such a way that it drives you to ask unanswerable questions.  Pondering these questions results in the realization that there is a large rift between philosophical questions and 'the real world.'  They can be melded into one and the same... the 'real' and the mystical/philosophical/spiritual.  Read Quantum Psychology or Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson.  

At the moment I don't think I'm in a position where I "MUST KNOW OR I WILL SLIT MY WRISTS!!"  If something wants to contact me or give me a hint, by all means go for it.  I'm not done exploring what's out there yet.  Once I feel like it, I'll move on.  Consider it a quasi-startrek-ish approach to things.  Picard had it right.  "We strive to bettah ourselves."

Short answer:
1) We're born
2) We live
3) We die

The end.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. ... Bertrand Russell

100% agree, and the beauty of it is that it SHOULD be something that anyone can embrace, whether or not they are religious.  A compatible offshoot of this might be 'to make things better then they were before', of which LizKing's statement is a concentrated form.
