I think I've found the simplistic meaning of life from an evolutionary standpoint.

This is the meaning of life, "To bring about more life through positivity and good emotions, every single single warm emotion and feeling known by man is there to increase the incentive to produce offspring, thereby creating more life and contributing to the expansion of his kind" - Joshuar

After looking at posts and more thought, I figured life has ultimately one true meaning, that is, "To find your own meaning to life"

From that, we can create our own purpose, to give us meaning.

hippies, or drugged out junkies like dank, would just call this "love."

Trust me. Dank is far from a 'drugged out junky'.


I don't think we're supposed to find the meaning of life. That it's supposed to be a unique idea for everybody, so they can live their life differently, and not exactly like anybody else. If we knew what the true meaning to life was, wouldn't it be boring? How we'd all be chasing the same idea/thought process?

Exactly. Would go with this definition:

'Something that can only be defined by you. Not by somebody else.
Nobody can define the meaning of life for you because for everyone it is different.
I believe the meaning of life is to challenge what is fated to happen to all of us (Death, Destiny, etc).
 Others would say the meaning of life is to find the meaning of life.'

live life to the fullest learn from your mistakes and be happy and contented on what you have for me that is the meaning of life YOLO  ;D

For those people who do not wish to sit through Monty Python's masterpiece, here is the Meaning of Life:

Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

You now know the Meaning of Life.

You might be right, but the meaning of life, from my point of view ,is to prepare your soul for the next life...or to what ever happens with your soul after you die.I might be wrong ,but this is my believe

i think i will have to pass from.. from some guy on the internet who is telling me to trust him.

Then don't pass from the guy that was able to scam person out of 52BTC. You can't honestly do that now. Oh I forgot - that 'drugged out junky'.

could you clarify? i'm not really sure what this conversation is about.. no rhetoric, i'm serious. i am a bit confused. are you implying that drugged out people are unable to scam others or?

I'm saying that Dank isn't some random 'drugged out junky' like you claimed him to be.

I think life has no meaning, that is it's meaning. You can either get depressed by the pointlessness of life or do the opposite and embrace it.

then what is he? he's had tons of experience with drugs, such as LSD, mushrooms, and whatever else (i don't have a laundry list). his posts seem like rants from a burned out druggie. he's going around and tell people how he is god.. next up is him becoming the jesus. he's said himself that he's done 60 drops of LSD once, which was his most. that amount is good enough to fry you for life.

And you're believing that from some guy off the Internet?

Particularly, he's got to be one of the best trolls I have ever encountered. If Vod can't deal with him, then I'm 100% sure he's just a 'troll' a successful troll at that.

what i believe is that some people on the internet are too quick to call others trolls. just because you don't understand someone doesn't mean they are a troll. the guy spends so much energy talking about how he is god and love is everything. if he is a troll, which i doubt, he is a very very dedicated one. him being crazy makes more sense than him spending all that time and energy spouting crazy shit.

Oh.

So you didn't want to believe 'some random guy off the Internet'? But you're believing 'some random guy off the Internet' that you claim to be a LSD user, and says he's a god. I've sprouted some crazy fucking nonsense on this forum. But Dank tops the list.

The best thing about this thread is not that we are closer to find 'Meaning of life' but the fact that Op realised something.
He now know that life has  one true meaning, that is: "To find your own meaning to life". I really liked it. Well done.

Mine is very simple. Make a shit load of money spend it, and die.

Enjoy that while you still can.  ;)

the meaning of life is to live free without any regrets

I don't think it's possible to live life without any regrets. We will all do stuff we will regret, stuff that will take us away from the path we want to be in.
But the idea is good, and we should definitely live life as we want is to be, with as few regrets as possible.

We think different and we are different. I guess everyone has their own meaning of life, everyone has their truths and there is no explanation for life that would suit everyone. That's what life makes interesting, to understand others see different opinions, compare them, but you'll always have your own meaning.

Personally, I believe the meaning of my life is to contribute to the survival and advancement of humanity. I try to do this in a number of ways. I continue to learn and practice my craft until I can add to the common knowledge. I volunteer my time to teach and aid others, and I try to live a good life to set an example for others. I do all of this because I have a deep investment in humanity.

True meaning of life is that you find yourself, and your own purpose in this world.
Mostly mistake which people do is next: we want to be rich, to do something impressive etc etc. That is ok, but you need to do what makes you happy, and if you still can be successful and rich with that, then you found yourself, and your happiness.
That is my view on that.

Why does there HAVE to be a meaning? We, as humans, have decided that there has to be one, when really, there doesn't have to.Each person can decide what the meaning of their own life is. That's the beauty of being a conscious being who can make decisions. For me, I'm just one guy and I want to be as good a person as I can be. I'm also an atheist. Sometimes I fail at being the best person I can be. That's really it for me.

If you think about the simple life forms, it is quite easy to see their meaning of life.  There whole existence is surrounded around simple making more life. 

This is so apparent in that many life forms will actually die right after mating as they at that point had fulfilled the whole point of their entire existence.

Life then at the lowest levels is something that is much akin to a virus.  It's whole point is just to make more life, just likes a viruses whole purpose is to make more virus. 

Now, something different happens with humans than say a virus.  Humans have achieved consciousness and with this consciousness can now choose the direction of our life.  We can now direct when to reproduce and how and why, but we can even choose not to reproduce. 

So there is a new meaning once consciousness in a sentient being becomes a master of a life within that being.  The point of life no longer has to be about just making more life. 

At this point a sentient being can choose it's meaning and its purpose in life.  So yes, for sentient humans, the point of life is to find the meaning of life.  Maybe that will be to reproduce, or maybe to live in peace, or maybe to experience perpetual self growth.  Maybe it is something else considered "bad".  These are the questions that philosophers have often sit around asking themselves many of times.
