    Even though it is anonymous, you should say results are going to be public more prominantly at the offset

    Well when you come down to the basics, we are only here for one reason.

    To reproduce.

    I know the meaning of life.

    But Im not telling yous:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭blondie83


    There is no purpose. Only the weak minded cannot deal with the fact that they don't matter and are here for no reason.

    lol, this answer made me smile:D

    ok

    the meaning of life for an individual is simply this:

    "To do the right thing"

    you may ask "what is the *right thing*??

    Well there in lies the rub:

    You always know.......

    What, in your opinion, do you and other people miss in their life?

    This isn't clear - do you mean things that we once had and now lack?
    1. Do you know what is the prupose of life?

    You should put an option: I do not believe life has a purpose.

    purpose of life?

    on a personal level: to not die before im really old, and to do whateve i feel like during my time here

    in terms of the human species: to do like we have always done before, to evolve by bettering outselfs over the last generation

    in terms of being humans in the universe: life on earth is a complete fluke, we are not part of any grand plan, nothing or noone seems to care that we even exist, so there is no purpose so far

    Clearly Reproduction. What else?

    Improve the species, (by sexual reproduction) and take resources for the species. I don’t think there’s any other good reason really.

    To question the purpose of life, you might as well question why and how organisms appeared in the first place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 867 ✭✭✭l3rian


    yea agreed Ryo Hazuki


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    purpose assumes design, there was no design so no purpose :)

    to quote the lna "is this life real?"
    and would wiping out offaly not be the way to improve the species:rolleyes:

    i dont have the definitive answer but i believe that enjoying life without causing harm to others is a plan. to reproduce, care for others and have others care for you. to quote the song:
    "the greatest thing youll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"

    Now behind Power City for only €59.99. Sorry, not be facetious.

    I think that journey must begin with self discovery and self-love. Know yourself before you can share yourself with another person...otherwise the lines between selves get too blurred.
