The meaning of life...why are we here?

Post by faust.dtc » Mon Aug 17, 2009 11:11 am

The afterlife thread got me thinking...why do you think we are here and why is it so important to keep out race going? Id be very interested in hearing other peoples ideas, views and opinions on this.

Ive come to believe that Love in its many forms is the meaning of life. From my experience it is the most powerful emotion known to mankind and should be spread and shared with others.

I originally thought procreation was the meaning of lifebut why procreate if you have nothing to live for?

Existentialism pretty much nailed it. Big up Camus etc.

There's no reason for us to be here. It's a rat race, and at the end of it, we all die.

The end.

This.

Our meaning of life is the same as bacteria or viri. Just fuck around and die.
Why? Physics & chemistry made us that way.

The meaning of life is procreation but thats hard to understand because, well as you said, what is there to procreate for.

It goes alot deeper than human feelings and what not, its just a basic biological urge.

Why do all animals exist..... simply to carry on existing.

Ok, for those that think our only purpose is to live and then die what emotion or event do you believe is most important to experience before you die?

That's existentialism you fuck bunny :evil:

It's really that simple though. You live / exist then you cease to exist and unless you're a jolly nice chap like Pol Pot you'll be forgot about within a few years, maybe weeks of your existence ceasing. Moral of the story..... fuck it or eat it or kill it.

Surely if our only purpose is to live and die then our aim in life is to enjoy it to the fullest and only do things that we enjoy?

No reason, no morals. It just happened. o_o

Just make the best out of life, enjoy it and don't worry on the 'how or why' too much, because there is no answer and you could spend that time doing more fulfilling things. o_o

Obviously like you said it’s Love. But at the same time the worst feeling is to lose that feeling. Or for it to be taken away by some cheating skanky bitch whore, fucking your mate's mate whom of which gets his face kicked in for rubbing it in and being an utter tnuc. (Never Happened)
