What is the meaning of Life?

Thought I'd toss a nice easy softball!

What is your theory on the Meaning of Life? (Assuming there is a meaning.)

Is there a spiritual aspect to it? Or is it all limited to our consciousness & sensory perceptions?

The meaning of life is whatever you want to make it. It is personal and individual.

 

[Viren]

To play. Kids know.

 

[CCHIPSS]

Glorify God.

 

[ForJesusChrist]

Living for Jesus!

 

[jacks]

Glorify God.

This, with all its complexity.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

To eat, sleep and breathe.

Try to enjoy it.

Are you quoting the Bible again?

"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun." Ecclesiastes 8:15

Cats. Maine coon cats. Any cat really, but big fluffy male cats in particular. In a pinch any cat will do.

Actually, I wasn't.

I was jokingly referring to the most basic things we need to live. Hence them being, "the meaning of life."

Eating, sleeping and breathing. I enjoy all these things. Everything else is a bonus.

I've had a Maine Coon. One of the coolest cats I've ever owned.

I have a mix and sometimes his grandeur reduces me to putty. He's so loyal. If you click my photo icon he's there, waiting to own you. Such cool cats.

Loaded question, as you realise since you added "assuming there is meaning".

I'ld say we would first have to determine if there IS meaning before asking what it is.

Having said that, assuming there is meaning... I would have to say "i don't know".

I don´t know how you use the word "meaning", but in the way I use it the question doesn´t even make sense: I think of "meaning" as a relationship between the observer and the observed - not as a property inherent to the observed.

 

[Feldon]

What would you like it to be?

I'd like it to coincide with what what the Meaning of Life really is!

A fellow "Hitchhiker" I see! (Loved the books. The movie, sadly, was a tremendous disappointment.)

I think philosophers call this the "Curly's 1 Finger Theory"! Remember City Slickers?

I hope it's a little more important than that..... and that the Meaning of Life doesn't extinguish at death.
