What gives your life meaning?

I find lots of meaning through ironic situations that occur daily. I laugh a lot at people's expenses.

Nearly nothing depresses or anger me for more than a few hours, and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm not an optimist, nor am I a go-getter.

Something that gives my life meaning as well is the thought that perhaps every event is predetermined and based off a series of previous occurances. I don't believe there are accidents. "Random" is a term we use to describe that which we can't explain because we can't predict highly complex patterns yet, and maybe it's determined that there will always be things that are meant not to be known. Regardless, everything happens for a reason, and everything is sequential. Because of this, everything can be interconnected. I'd rather get too deep into my personal philosophy, so I'll leave you with the above vague description.

I don't know that there is some higher deity, nor does it really change the outcome of my life, because really I've had no choice since its beginning.

In my spare time, I like to program, probably because it makes me feel like a god in the limited domain of a computer. I often attempt game development, but usually this results in failure. Either way, it's fun to learn and do.

I exist. That is meaningful enough.

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

the little things. like how the world is upside down in the beads of rain on the car window

Most amazing jew boots

my friends...my family...football....lol

I was speaking idiomatically.

Work.









My life's empty.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Writing. Enjoy living. Band.

FELIPE NO

A mixture of things really.

Music is definately a big part of my life. I wouldn't be whole, I wouldn't be me without it. Literature is another one. I can almost always be found reading. My friends are also really important to me, and my family as well.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

GFF brings meaning to my life...j/k.

But to be serious. I really don't know if I have anything that brings to my life per ce. Maybe its a conglomeration of things. If I really had to be specific, I would say other people. Other people bring meaning to my life. In everything I do, I try to think of how it will interfere with and/or affect someone elses life and plans. If it hinders someone else too much, I generally don't do it. I find that everything I do can be traced back two the basic saying of "don't do anything to hurt anyone". Yah, so its other people who give meaning to my life. If it wasn't for them, I would just do whatever.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Enjoying life is the first reason... As well the idea that you might mean something for anyone could help me get out of bed. and of course: 'A day without laughing is a day without living...'

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What wakes me up in the morning is that I'm not able to sleep long. As well as I wonder if today is the day that I die, how I will die, who else did and how they did.

I'm starting to find the whole concept of death fun or something similar to that. Not that I'm all suicidal, I try to enjoy whatever amount of time is meant for me. You might as well too, it's not like you're going to live forever.

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

People... I love meeting people, seeing the world move. Not just people, all of life and other parts of the world that just make me look at and say "Wow..."

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

I guess the fact that I am able to do things like go to school beyond high school and knowing I can make something of myself. And I live to get up and write. I love to write. And read...and my friends. I love my friends. They're moreso my family.

How ya doing, buddy?

Writing for a living. Wasn't sure that it'd happen, but it did and I kinda feel like I've arrived. Had to skip states to do it, though. What a cliche.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

My family,friends,pets, and most definitely OZZ and Albel. They keep me going.

My family is always there for me,esp. my daddy. ;d Leo,my maltese, is like my best friend. OZZ has helped me through so many things. Knowing that Im going to get to see him,that he loves me no matter what, or just hearing his voice helps me feel better. He's stuck by me so much. And of course Albel,the little bundle of cuteness, I know he is going to love me no matter what. ;d

FELIPE NO

Several things, but mainly just to see what the new day will bring. Will it be awesome? Will it suck? Will it be a release date for Spore? Will it be a penny on the sidewalk? A new song on the radio? The next episode of that awesome show? Who knows! Something happens every day, I just can't wait to find out what.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Nothing gives my life meaning anymore. I just live, because I'm alive. I see no reason behind anything that I do...or I'm just depressed again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I still can and want to wake up in the morning just because I know life is precious, and I want to live it fully and truly.

Besides, I've got so much I want to do or to finish. I'm writing a novel right now, and it's still far from being finished. I also draw everyday (hopefully I can draw a manga). I also compose music. Ther are still other things I like to do, not as daily routines, but as life's essence. Why should I abandon these things?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Another day alive means another day closer to the future release of Final Fantasy XIII. I'm just kidding. But it used to be like that for me in the summer. Wake up really early and play games all day.

Now I live to go to school. I love the classes I'm taking and the peers I interact with. Another day in school is another day to meet new people and see familiar faces.

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

Well..

What gives my life meaning.....

I guess.. it's the thought of a bright and happy future -

At least at the moment.. I have the feeling that everyone is leaving - (not moving away to another city - more like.. they don't want to accompany me anymore)

Furthermore.. I used to like composing .. and photographing ... since there's nobody who would share my joy in it.... I lose it... and I end up alone .. just sitting.. and thinking about life and what I could do to change this situation... and that makes everything worse...

too bad -

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

Why should life have a meaning? Why do people think live owes us a meaning? I've often thought about the question myself but not an answer. I could come up with a list of 6 things but against the backdrop of the cosmos it seems extremely narrow. The best answer I can give and the only one that makes any sense is, I live for life. I live to see what the future will bring.

Why, doesn't that means you want to live for basically nothing; just depend on hands of Fate? People make goals and try to achieve them everyday...not just to get by and see the future.

Don't you wish to make your own future? It's better than only sitting and waiting.

I would say just the opposite. I think he makes goals like everyone else, but he does not base his meaning on them. Living for life, to see what will happen. Just think, how many things happened today that you were not expecting? Life is an adventure, you make it and it makes you. There is no other way around it.

I see what you mean. But sometimes you can't just wait and see what will happen to life. Some things are to be fought and to be made. I believe that things are controlled by God, but surely there are things we can make, we can earn, and we can change.

I feel pretty confident that I'm here for a lot of reasons. One, like others have said, is music. It still amazes me how so many VGM and film composers can write a wide variety of material just for the sake of aural enjoyment... I grew up hearing the works of Kondo, Ishikawa, Wise and numerous others playing video games as as kid.

Another reason is getting a good education. I try to do my absolute best in high school, and nothing less, so that I can have the choice of going to university in the future, and more options on what job I'd like to have.

Lastly, but most important, is the friends I have. I hardly have any in real life but those who I am friends with on GFF and other places are simply the best I could have. I'd have to say that they are the reason for bringing me out of my state of depression that ended about two years ago. Life in general is just so much better when you have someone to talk to, and not just for personal problems.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Elevators.

I love riding in all sorts of elevators from around the world. What people really seek is a purpose that cannot be fulfilled in their life time, which gives a sense of eternity.

There are many elevators in the world, and I cannot possibly go on every single one of them within my lifetime. Therefore, my life has purpose and meaning.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How is it compatible that life could have meaning while under the influence of God? If God exists then humans are a pathetic lot indeed. Every choice you make is the outcome caused by God. If things are controlled by God then there is nothing you can make, earn, and change. All of these things are planned out even before your birth.

The failed counter argument is that God gave us free will. That is wholly incompatible with God's omnisicience. Free will can only merely be an illusion. God already knows every choice and their outcome long before you ever make the choice.

People often say they wouldn't want to live in a universe without God. I wouldn't want to live in a universe where there is God!
