What gives your life meaning?

Here's the news people: Life has no meaning. There is no reason for you to be here. Our existence is without purpose. You know everything you do has no impact on human civilization. You are a blip. All things listed here are just time killers, things to do, entertainments. They are the things you do to occupy yourselves so you can forget that your life is inherently useless. Life, for all it's sound and fury, signifies nothing.

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Suicide? totally. I have no qualms if people want to end their own lives; it's their life to do whatever with.

Killing? as in other people? No. Killing is bad. Here's why: even though I believe life has no purpose, doesn't mean I don't enjoy living. I just don't delude myself into thinking there's a reason for me to be here. And I'm pretty sure most everyone else feels this way too (the bit about enjoying life). So really, it's just flat out mean to kill somebody else without their permission. I feel that the golden rule applies here; if you don't want anyone to kill you, then don't go killing others.

And if that's not good enough, well then, since life is meaningless, every action you take is without purpose, so killing somebody is just a waste of time and energy and why bother really?

well, some people do. But they're usually insane.

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

um, no: meaningless= without meaning To say that life has meaning by being meaningless is like dividing by zero.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm with you all over the place on that one, Capo. i guess that's also my point, when i said I felt pretty good about it. I only think of it as meaningless cause the way i see it, something the exists only to insure its existence is pretty stupid.

But fuck it, here we are, it's a freebie. We don't have to do anything to earn life, we just have it. Go have fun.

I was speaking idiomatically.

(Taking meaning to be the point of something.)

Well, the way i see it seems to be harder to explain than i thought. When i say meaning and purpose, i mean that we are here on earth to do a very specific thing. I don't believe that very specific thing exists. And i like that it doesn't exist, because it allows me to fill in the gap with whatever i want. So basically, i'm mostly agreeing with you, i'm just defining it a little differently.

I guess, here's the thing, I don't believe in a Creator thing that made humans. So how can i think that there was a reason for us to be made? Since i believe our existence is basically a fluke, i believe we just get to be alive and intelligent and conscious for free.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's the thing, I don't believe in a creator. So that question's irrelevant. I believe we are the result of complexity, that life was not intended, it just is.

I don't know how to better clarify this, but I'll try: Either there IS meaning, or there IS NOT meaning. They are polar opposites. One can not be the other. It's like binary. It's either ON or OFF. You can not have something be ON because it is OFF. You can not have NOTHING and SOMETHING at the same time.

I'm not filling out a form (Meaning of Life: Null)
I'm saying there is no form ( )
