What for? Life for the sake of life? That's what animals do, but I doubt that they ever thought about the sense of their existence. My take: Life is pointless/senseless. You are given life by a chance or whomever, you may just try to enjoy it (if you can), that's it.
Life is everything that You make it. It is up to you to define what you want out of life then go out and get it done if you try.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
No, it's not up to you. Since you are born with clean brain (except basic insticts), what you will define (if you even would bother to define anything) and get out (or not) is closely related to the environment & people who loaded your matrix, as well as to the size of wallet of your parents. Besides, it's really a recent luxury to be able to define stuff and go out to get it. Had you been born 300 years ago in India to untouchable parents - good luck in defining.
close, but no sometimes life sacrifices itself for some greater cause no sometimes life kills a whole bunch of other life (including family members) the meaning of life is Vedänta Sütra 1.1.12 om ananda-mayo 'bhyäsät by nature we seek pleasure
The meaning of life is: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." - Revelation 4:11
Seems Lord himself not quite sure about the meaning of life. At least he/she/it found the meaning in the emulating human despots seeking to receive glory, honour, power and all the rest good shit. Have been people made in Lord's image or Lord was made in people's?
atheists may disagree but i think they will agree that everyone seeks pleasure ( of course the next question one could ask is what types of pleasure are more valid than others)
-Can you specify ? -Maybe, whomever the killer was, didnt know the meaning of life ? -This just describes our tendencies.
Bluemoose “ mother for her child solider for his country etc etc at the very least, it indicates their meaning was different from that of passing on their genes it describes everyone's (nay, everythings) tendency, hence it is the meaning of life (the meaning of life is to seek pleasure - not even suicide can frustrate this goal Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! )
lightgigantic mother for her child -You mean like that her child could live ~ sustain life ? solider for his country -Thanks to brainwashing, or that fellow countrymen could live ~ sustain life ? at the very least, it indicates their meaning was different from that of passing on their genes -Passing on genes isnt equal with sustain life, when I´m watering my plants in dont pass on any genes. it describes everyone's (nay, everythings) tendency, hence it is the meaning of life (the meaning of life is to seek pleasure - not even suicide can frustrate this goal Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! ) -Isnt sex quite a pleasure ~ sustain life, or eating & drinking ~ sustain life Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
dixonmassey Information is purely human concept, like good and evil, it "exists" only in human brains. -Isnt everything that is, in ones brain ?
dixonmassey What for? Life for the sake of life? That's what animals do, but I doubt that they ever thought about the sense of their existence. -Is this were we go to the falling of man from Eden ? The apple ?
the child's life is sustained - the mother's isn't once again, the solider doesn't but everyone else does how does watering your plants satisfy Originally Posted by Oniw17 To copy your genes for the next generation.

lightgigantic mother for her child ..... the child's life is sustained - the mother's isn't -Well, you tell me why she sacrified herself if it wasnt to sustain hes babys life and so on to make sure that life sustain ?
you responded to my response to Oniw' s response because her pleasure is to put her child's needs above her own
