Thoughts on life and existance

Post Reply New Topic

I like the notion that the meaning of life is to play.

<plays>

But it's about being played too, and being or not being a player?

The way I see it, the meaning of life depends on the individual--each individual has a different meaning for their life. What is it that you hope to accomplish? What is it that you want to accomplish? What is it that you can accomplish? The biggest, most difficult, and most rewarding life goal you can possibly achieve is the meaning of your life. Not everyone will accomplish their greatest goals, no, but then--whoever said every single life had to have a meaning? ^.~

Either that, or the concept of life having a meaning is just an artificial construct created by a human mind trying desperately to justify his/her existence. I myself am something of a nihilist. I don't believe in fate or anything--I don't think life in general has any serious meaning. Far as I'm concerned, we're here...and we're here because of the way the earth decided to evolve, and because of how our species in particular decided to evolve.

I think we are just an acciednt. Just some mollecules that happened to meet one day and agree that companionship would be nice so they joined together to accidently make an organism that had a brain, capable of movement and thought. An organism that also likes the companionship of other organisms and in turn join our mollecules together. Does it matter if we are good or bad, or try to attain knowledge or not? I don't know because we have to expire at some point.
The question I want answered is why do we want to know the meaning of life when we are powerless and at the end of the day will only carry on doing the things that we are already doing, just to keep our mollecules alive?
If we were created by some other life form, like we may create life on say, Mars by adding changing the atmosphere and heating up the frozen CO2 blah blah we all know the theory, well what is the meaning of THEIR life?
