The True Meaning of Life??

The True Meaning of Life?? Will not have an ounce of truth to it.​

The True Meaning of Life Is a bald face lie​

 

Life has no meaning without purpose, without purpose there is no meaning. Everything has a purpose, find the meaning by which a purpose is served establishes meaning.
what is the meaning of death, define the purpose of death to know its meaning.
 
As the saying goes: one truly knows the meaning of something when one looses it.

So far, no one who has lost life came back to tell us about life's meaning.

So we don't know and will never know. ;)

What egos we have! Why should our lives have 'meaning'? Any more than the life of a cockroach has meaning?

Why shouldn't our lives have meaning? If we can ask "why" why should we not be able to ask "why not"? And that goes for questions about cockroaches too. We might have been cockroaches ourselves at sometime in the past and we evolved into what we are now. Not much better perhaps but what the heck.

:) In that case, maybe the meaning of life is 'To Live'.
To live well ie the good life is a matter of luck, skill and probabilities, same as poker.
 
Only an alive person asks, "what is the meaning of life?" and speculates infinitely. ;)
 
Whoa! This just got real...

I guess we would have to identify who/how created this life as we know it. That may be a start. Not to offend anyone, but evolution is not viable. Just the numerical calculations to figure out the odds of where we are now, compared to our humble beginnings (apparently 1 theory) in a muck, oxygenated, struck by lightning, evolved from a tadpole, evolved over the endless time to where we are now-is frankly absurd. One paper mentioned the odds of that actually happening is so large, it would take so much paper to write all those zeros after the 1, that we would have no trees left! Lol.

Then you have the Anunnaki theory, that we were created as a slave species to serve them. Created by those gods to serve. Some theorize that many gaps in or unused DNA have been thought to represent the lack of intelligence that were not instilled in us, so that we may continue to be 'dumb' slaves. Certain abilities were removed or deleted so we did not understand our place.

Then we have creationism. God above. Created everything and also man in his image. Then the question begs...why? Why would God create us? No disrespect to religion or God or anyone's beliefs, but let's be real here. Why would he do that? Was he bored? Was he lonely? Did he believe we needed to be created to serve some universal energy imbalance. What was the reason.
Then of course we spent many a conversations asking...who created God? If it was a greater God, then who created that being. And so forth. The normal response or usual argument is that God was Omni-everything, just doesn't fly.

We would then open the door to so many questions. Why did God create the Universe so large and vast. Did he create other life? It is not mentioned in any of the books or scriptures (that I know of), so why? So if he did not create any other life, why the extra solar systems, galaxies, planets, suns etc. Seems a bit overkill even for God!

The very definition of life, is one pondered my many a great philosophers, Theologians, thinkers and other disciplines intellects, for far too long. People far smarter than any of us (pondered for their entire lives and over millennia) and couldn't/haven't come up with any kind of answer. Some say you find out after we leave this life. Maybe, but no evidence of that yet to be proven either. Is there more realms or dimensions? Is there the pearly gates of Heaven or the fires of hell awaiting us? I don't think it's that simple. Or at least I would hope it's not.

Either way, eventually we will all leave this realm and I guess maybe-hopefully, we get some answers! If I am wrong, I hope you all forgive me. LOL! If you are wrong, well I won't hold it against any of you! Ha ha.
 
To me the meaning of life is what each person makes of it! We have the freedom and right to make our own "meaning of our lives"...! Please do so with great vigor...
