Not me, look at the top of the song and you will see the name, Life Is But A Dream and The Crew Cuts were the group that wrote it. It is an old song from the 50's or so.
Reflection on the meaning of life? The meaning of life? It could just be.....no reason or meaning what so ever.However given the grandeur of the universe and its unknown mysteries I at this stage am 'sitting on the fence'. Why do I feel uplifted when listening to a beautiful guitar melody or when just 'being' in nature on a river in a kayak? Why do I feel loss and suffering? For what purpose? Here is my thought on this question; At the instant of the 'big bang' from nothingness 'the source' of light and energy manifested itself in physical form. For what purpose? Love is the highest quality that seems to arise in my mind.Could it be hate? Thus as I write this thread, I and you, who reads it are conscious and thinking on the edge of the 'known'universe as it unravels. Probably more intelligent than if we were discussing this same question in the 'middle' ages ,when the Earth was deemed the centre of everthing and flat... At death I and you die physically but does consciousness transcend our death? For what purpose? Maybe our offspring continue this refinment of the intellect through strong genetics.Is there a gene/s discovered that carries forth consciousness as opposed to intelligence? 'The source'(of consciousness?) in nothingness before everything seemed to have survived the biggest of all currently known atomic explosions(big bang),if it indeed exists.Possibly consciousness does then transcend physical death.For what purpose? Hard work this philosophy stuff...If your confused ditto!
For all those who have postulated a "meaning of life", and especially to those who are so adamant that their's is the correct response .... one further question is all I ask... please provide the evidence. Please provide the evidence not only that your answer is correct, but also that life has any meaning whatsoever beyond what we, as sentient individuals, create for ourselves.
Life cannot and does't have any meaning at all. Like an infinite space infinite life has no direction (which would lead to something preferable).
what is the purpose of life? a common argument seems to go something like this: human beings are just piles of atoms, therefore life is meaningless, therefore people choose their own arbitrary goals, therefore there is no right or wrong, therefore there is no morality. first we have to distinguish between physical and spiritual life. the purpose of physical life is to reproduce. i would suggest that the definition of (spiritual) life is 'moving toward our goals (which in the grand scheme of things are more or less arbitrary)'. the goal of moving toward our goals may sound like a tautology (and perhaps it is) but the point is that the mind can get so screwed up that it can actually set itself the goal of moving away from its own goals. of course, that insanity, being the opposite of life must lead, ultimately, to death. a right goal therefore moves us toward our primary goals and a wrong goal moves us away from our primary goals. curiousity, which is a primary goal/drive, amounts to little more than 'use your brain'. i suspect that all our primary goals are like that. strangely, getting a job and paying our bills is not a primary goal. work seems to be an after-thought. i suppose that is why we find it so difficult. the subgoals that we choose to pursue (and perhaps even the primary goals that nature has hardwired into our brains) are mostly arbitrary. however, they arent completely arbitrary since the goal of moving away from our goals would not be acceptable. therefore whether our goals are arbitrary or not (and therefore whether life is meaningless or not) depends very much on how you look at it. regardless of how arbitrary our goals are, if there is more than one person present, then conflict is inevitable and some fair way of resolving those conflicts must be found (think golden rule).
Aren't the questions "What is the purpose of life ?" and "What are our goals in life ?" rather synonymous ?
