Panther_Dude Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 What is it? To learn? To teach? To have lots of fun times? Make money? W-w-what? Link to comment

Ambiguous X Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 You exist. Well, at least you think you exist. But +1 to TS for going thru his existential crisis young. The sooner you go thru it the better. Link to comment
maalox Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 All that you are or become or experience is just a pixel in the cosmic JPEG. Be all that you can be and shine bright, or not. Everybody will be needed when we get there. Link to comment
90_hour_sleep Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Well, at least you think you exist. But +1 to TS for going thru his existential crisis young. The sooner you go thru it the better. existential crisis. i like that. Link to comment
Brittney2008 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 For me personally there is no meaning. No set of things that I should do while I'm here. For me that is so relieving but I can see why it might stress or depress people. Goals for my life, what I hope to do: Educate myself (ignorance is not bliss for me), Have a family, travel the world, learn and meet people of other cultures, and finally try my best to contribute something great to this world.

thejigsup Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I have found that as you age, you definitely learn what the purpose of your life is. You don't really learn it when your young, but it will come to you and it is different for everyone. My purpose in life is well known to me, but I keep it to myself. With time, if you keep your mind open, it will come to you as well. Link to comment
maggiemonroe Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 How's this for meaning of life? I saw your post and wanted to post a poem I wrote a long time ago called "the meaning of life," and went to the document I saved it in and only found a poem I wrote later called "the meaninglessness of life." That's friggin depressing as hell, I want that poem back. It really sucked though, I guess we're all lucky I didn't find it. Link to comment
mad rabbits Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 You can invent the meaning yourself, that's the beauty of it... choose your own adventure. I do think though, at the end of it all, one's deeds good and bad will come up for examination, as well as how well you did reaching your potential. Link to comment
Ambiguous X Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Drugs and alcohol help alot too. Speaking for myself of course... Link to comment
Blackey Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Well, there is no one meaning, but i believe that there is one main purpose, we are all here to reproduce, this is something all of us strive for, and even survival is aimed towards reproduction. Link to comment
livia7916 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 At 40, I am still trying to figure out what is the meaning of life. I have kids, 2 Bachelor degrees, working as an Accountant. I've been thinking about changing careers in order to fulfill something that I am missing, which I don't know what. Perhaps its a spiritual connection I am seeking. Perhaps its to help others. I am finding out that working in an office setting- cubicle is really depressing. I actually thought something was wrong with me but it turns out I am not office type. So I am still searching for something else. Any suggestions? For "theJigsup", what is your secret in finding out your purpose? Link to comment
