A Question For Everyone.

[skorpx1]

As the title says I have a question for you all. Its not a yes or no question, there is no right or wrong answer and it can be whatever you believe it to be.

My question is this - What is the meaning of life to you?


To me the meaning of life is to bind yourself to 50-60 years of lightly paid labor, have yourself controlled by a person in a suit + tie over in D.C. while they live the good life, have to shell out your hard earned money for useless stuff you'll never use but in the beginning you thought you would, endlessly worry about what you'll do in the future and lastly, how to leave this god forsaken planet and find a new one that isn't horrible screwed up to the point of everyone turning on each other in an all-out war against each country with nuclear/chemical weapons.

Buy toys, break them.

Rinse and repeat.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.


(Actually, I just wanted to post that before anyone else did. The real meaning of life, the universe and everything is 42)

There is no meaning. You're born, you live, you die... That's it, no heaven, no hell, no god. accept it.

Seeing my wife in the moonlight down by the lake, the softness of her skin, and scent of her perfume
my son catching his 1st 5 lb bass
the smell of saltwater and pine trees, fresh cut hay and my grandmas sourdough bread.
my wife and I watching our children's first Christmas as they look at the tree in awe...then they play with the wrapping paper instead of the toys lol
watching my oldest son tear up with joy as I give him the keys to his own truck.
The smell of the lilacs blowing through the bedroom windows in the spring, as birds sing waking me up.
the sound of whipper wills on summer nights sitting around  a campfire
the early morning fog hanging over the pond, water smooth as glass except for the wake of my jitter bug.
the taste of a cold beer after a hard days work, or a big mason jar of sweet tea as I sit under the big maple tree in the back yard.
my dog Ike and how he's so happy to see me when I get home
the smell of coffee brewing in the morning, country ham frying in the skillet
spring turkey hunts with the boys
my old buddy joe's blackberry wine
Hank Williams music and good kentucky bourbon


before you can understand the meaning of life....you must live it first.

To me, you got 95% of that good to me, we all get born, we all live, we all die, there is no fabricated lie of a perfect afterlife or a horrid pit of flames, and there is no self-proclaimed ruler and creator of everything. But in the end, there is a meaning. There has to be, its not like we just popped up for no reason.

[Lusche]

There has to be

Why?

[uptown]

it's up to you to give your life meaning and purpose. and yes virginia...there is a God 

[skorpx1]

Why?

Do you really think we popped up in this universe for no absolute reason at all? In reality we're all flecks of dust on a small bouncy ball in the middle of a giant vacuum that we call space, with no knowledge of what's beyond our galaxy of what other living thing is out there. What I believe is that we're all just some strange experiment gone horribly wrong. All the other animals/living creatures that are still alive have made it and not much is wrong with them, but humanity is walking the path to extinction and slowly rotting away. If some other superior species finds our remnants or maybe a few survivors, then good for them. They will know that they weren't the only ones out there/are the only ones out there.

it's up to you to give your life meaning and purpose. and yes virginia...there is a God 

 If you wish to believe there's a god, go right ahead. I'm not going to discuss it further because I don't wanna get whacked with a rule #14.

Why? weeds pop up for no reason, mosquitos pop up from puddles for no reason, what makes humans so special? People just want to believe there is a reason. Just like they want to believe there is a greater being (god). sorry to disappoint you.

The overwhelming majority of all species that ever existed on earth went extinct. If humanity would join them, it would be the rule, not the exception from it.

The meaning of life is to be happy, generally through being productive, although other things could make you happy as well.  Long them happiness especially.  Short term happy sacrificing long term happy results in unhappiness... 

So focus on long term happiness.
