I know, this is the usual question and been here before I quess, but.. ...presented in one simple sentence, what is the meaning of life ? I will go first... To sustain life.
If there are no meaning to life, would there be any reason to sustain it? To sustain life, as the primary reason is false. But hey, now we know what the meaning of life is not! The same goes for Oniw17, why do you think that this question has lasted so long?
Cyperium To sustain life, as the primary reason is false. -why is that, if life sustains all the rest will follow thus there is no need for other reasons.

It is false because there would be no meaning to sustain life, if life in total had no meaning. So in order for sustaining life to have meaning at all, life in total has to have meaning, so sustaining life is not the primary reason. Per facto.
Cyperium It is false because there would be no meaning to sustain life, if life in total had no meaning. -The fact that life exist does imply that there is reason for it and I cant think another primary reason to live than keep it going and see where it will lead us ~ sustain life. -If one argues that life has no meaning, well, thats a whole new ball game. If I live my life so that my primary reason to live is sustain life and act upon my belief isnt it meaning of life to me ?
No it doesn't. It merely confirms that a certain set of circumstances will produce a certain result or effect. Anything more is subjective interpretation which has validity only if a particular set of thoroughly artificial parameters are accepted as a given.
Some argues that whole universe is just flow of information, if so, how could information be meaningless ? Be patient with me, I´m just exploring with these assumptions Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! So there is no meaning(reason) to my existence, or I have to make one ?
I personally think you create your own meaning. If you were not sentient then I suppose reproduction would be the meaning of your existence. As you are sentient, "meaning" takes on a whole different meaning Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Also your life will probably change course as you live it.
That's actually the purpose you are getting at and not the meaning. Either way here are the answers to both questions: PURPOSE OF LIFE: Objective: To persist Subjective: Whatever you like. MEANING OF LIFE: Objective: The relationship life has to whatever it can have a relationship with. Subjective: Whatever you like.
