Default Meaning of life

Been thinking about this kind of thing a lot lately, so what's your opinion on the significance of life... are we just here or is it a journey etc?

There isn't one. Our lives are a miracle but there's no point to them, you just do what you want with it.

There's things people perhaps should do with their lives, but there's no inherent meaning.

To learn. It's all about learning IMO.

But don't get me started on these deep subjects, I'm trying to dwell less.

Yeah, life has no meaning, just try and enjoy it before you're in a pot on someone's mantelpiece

Well as a secular humanist I would say that life has no particular meaning (other than the natural cycle of life which seems to be to replicate your genes and continue them on.)

However what's good for the goose is certainly not good for the gander when we compare ourselves to other sentient beings and I think we as a species are way past that now. The meaning of life is well and truly whatever you want it to be. Help others, shag as many people as you want, leave the world in a better place than when you came into it. It's your call.

Like the great talk talk song 'life is what you make it'

i try to work out the meaning
and the quack sent me for screening.
i just could not see the tunnel
it was running round my head faster then sally gunnel.
until one day when i woke
and this verse nearly made me choke.
i decided to make everything rhyme
to show my bitterness is more sour then a lime.
then life really came not at all worth while
and everyone sore me as a odd ball that is vile.
so to the corner i went and i did brew
poetry is me did boil and stew.
it had to come out with all the baggage
and the out come smells just as nasty as cabbage.


in english - the meaning to my life is poetry. and if anyone knocks me you will feel the power of words lol

ps love a rhyme to knock me. it would make me smile.

You've given the best response so far in my opinion. I agree about the 'deep subject' and know just what you mean by 'trying to dwell less'. If I post, I'll probably get slagged off for my belief in God and all that comes with it.

Sorry Jack but this view makes me feel sad.

I believe in reincarnation and i believe we are here to learn and the meaning of life is love, there's nothing more powerful than love.

Asking about meaning is the wrong question. One should understand how we are here.

Its like asking what is the meaning of the life of a daffodil or a sheep tic
