What gives your life meaning?

The knowledge that, well, this is it. I better make the most of it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Life, for all it's sound and fury, signifies nothing.

And I, for one, feel pretty good about it.

If you really want to get down to it, the meaning of our lives is to propagate our DNA. Plain and simple. We only exist as a means by which our DNA can be passed on to future generations.

That's really irrelevant, though. Live life for life. Enjoy it while you can.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Even if you say it's basically MEANINGLESS; OUT OF MEANING, you still give it one fundamental base; that life's meaning is null.

Like I already said, we've evolved from the most basic lifeforms to better pass on our DNA from generation to generation. That is the fundamental "meaning" of all life on Earth. That should be meaningless, though, in the way with which you carry on your life. Live it to the fullest, because, really, what else have we got?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was just reading some Vonnegut, and this line struck me as perfect for this thread.

"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."
