What is the meaning of life you ask? :confused: Well by careful and painstakingly patient study, my friend and I have discovered it's origin! :woah: Unfortunately, we'll never know what it is. It's God's hotmail password! I dare you to suggest otherwise... no, I really do. What do YOU think the meaning of life is? :bug:

Well to find out you have to put your left foot in, no what you take your left foot out then you put your left foot in and you shake it all about. Do you get where I'm going with? :)

Chocolate, of course. The meaning of life is chocolate.

I thought that would be obvious.

:ahhhh: :blushake: :boing: :bug: They had too much chocolate!

Ask Monty Python! (My age is showing now!) They have given life more meaning than I could.

would it really be all that hard to conceive that there is no earth shattering explanation of exactly why it is that life was created? for all we know, somebody got bored and needed entertainment. or perhaps we're one huge collective accident. trying to find an answer is ridiculous. no one will ever figure it out here. maybe we'll be enlightened in the afterlife. maybe there is no afterlife and we'll never find out. why not just live your life and not concern yourself with a question to which there is no default answer?

because you then have NO FUN... what fun is a life were such answers are not sought and questions are not even asked??? It is human nature to seek those answers whether he/she wants to hear them or not... Heck for all intents and perposes life is as irrelevant and meaningless as common house dust, and yet at the same time it is just as mysterious... Maybe creation is all but a single speck of dust shed from god at the begining of time falling for however many billions of years and destroyed once god gets around to house cleaning... However the most plausible meaning of life is "2 of the purple grass"

*draws in deep breath* The meaning of life is first to learn...learn all you can and put it to use never stop learning for that matter...i believe you will learn a lesson on your dying day....second the meaning to life is to love...love with all you can and give a piece of your knowledge to everyone you love...ultimatley you are helping them live....fially the most import part of the meaning of life is to LIVE...be you! be happy with wo ou are! be proud of yourself and all you have accomplished and plan to accomplish...live your life the best way you can...just being happy with what you have i think is one of the most important rules there is...yes it is hrd o follow in todays society but it is also possible....which brings e to my question.....If the poor man has so little in the material aspect, why is he happier than the richman who has everything he could have ever dreamed of?

Because the poor man knows that he has loved everyone he could, and has recieved tha love in return. The rich man has stabbed his friends in the back and has forgotten how to love. So on the flip side, the poor man who understands what is is to live life the way it was meant to be is happier.

This isnt true in every rich man poor man case.....but its just a thought

I can't believe I am sharing this secret with everyone..... This is one I have promised to keep to myself, but I need to tell somebody.......


Long ago, I realized something..... The meaning of life is right under our very noses. What is it? Well many ask. Why, am I gonna tell all of you? Because I think you all are good at keeping secrets.

The Meaning of life is........


A good pair of shoes. Shoes have a ton of impact of how your day goes. Wear a bad pair, and your in pain all day.... not very willing to stand or walk. Ah, but a good pair, and your very day is changed. Your suddenly free from agony, and can have fun.

Ok, now I must ask that you swear never to let this answer out, or there will be stampedes at "FootLocker"...... And, nobody wants to see a tragedy like that unfold in front of thier eyes.

Dellit,

I'm afraid Mato has you here. "Why ask Why" is a great slogan for beer, but a poor philosophy for living your life. Whatever the answer is, or even IF it is, we should at least make an effort to seek it.

i still think that its a waste of time seeking solely the meaning of life. seeking enlightenment is a wonderfull thing, but contemplating that question only is a waste of time! i feel in order to come even close to answering this question, you must simply live and learn. you're never going to find the truth by mere contemplation. in this case, actions are definately the route to the solution. you cannot solve this puzzle with thought alone.

To me, I believe that with mediation on that topic..... you might gain enlightenment. Just a thought.

the grass has me slightly confused too but 42 really is the meaning of life... can't recall where it started, maybe Monty Python, but it has been the meaning of life for some time now!:D

I actually like the meaning of life given in Dogma best.... :eyebrow:

42 is the answer to life the universe and everything, in the book, The Hitchhikers (ultimate?) guide to the universe I havent read it but my sister did. The purple blade of grass is reference to a stephen king series The Gun Slinger in which the universe is collapsing in on itself and not only is a single time effected and in danger but all of time and space is merging together destroying itself. This happens because the universe in the form of a tower (Or world tree if you want to get theoretical) is being destroyed. The main character The gunslinger got some of his fingers removed by a venomous giant crab's claw and the resulting infection gave him a momentary glimps of lucidity were he was looking out from the 'tower' in the form of a wild rose (maybe, at any rate a flower) in an undeveloped lot in the middle of a city. Around the flower was a ring of purple grass, in his messed up state he thought the grass was god. I love those books (although... it's not for every one...) and it is the only stephen king series installment I will bother to read... It is like the final peice kind of... Man insamnia was cool too... I hope he finishes it...

Oh and for sci-fi/fantisy buffs stephen kings Dragon Eye is excellent! It is the only sci-fi/fantisy book I like! He wrote it for one of his kids but it is still good...

Ok I am a bit of a king fanatic... but he was the first novel (or full length book for that matter) I ever read, that first book/author stays with you. My tastes have changed sense I was a kid (6-7 when I started to read his books...) but still it is fun to go back and read an old book...

The meaning of life is..... just a moment, I'm trying to remember..... it's not easy being a krone.....

Oh! That's it! The meaning of life is that if something's too easy then you're doing it wrong.

I was 5 when I became a "big sister" and started taking on some real responsibilities. Stuff like folding diapers (cloth ones, ya know). Also folding towels and washcloths and putting them all away. Folding clean laundry is still one of my favorite household chores.

Earthcup
March 5th, 2002, 09:34 PM
Yeah I had to do that sort of thing too but my specialty was folding towels. Still beats paying taxes and balancing checkbooks!:D
