Because It is, indeed, a neat thing to share thoughts with each others about everything...

So This topic is going to be about everything and only about everything...

Yeah you can put on some crazy stuff if you are feeling like that way, but so that nobody will get offended...

Let the thoughts flow in! and lets try to found reason for everything!

So what you think about this topic, about your life and about everything...?

If you don't find anything major, instead of try something minor and see how It will develop...

b00m! People go and think!

EDIT:

Due to some recent happenings on this topic... It made me to create first rules :eek:

RULES:

1. Please don't diss the philosophy
2. If you don't like it, leave it!
3. If you like it, you post on it!

life its self gives its self meaning? and to have the meaning you need life? sounds like a cop out to me.

Ask a physicist what was before the big bang, you'll usually get the ''Don't ask that question.'' evolution wasn't starting before the big bang. Also.. the big bang is not.. improving? The universe is expanding, thats it. Humanity s on some big rock at the outer edges of a galaxy.

Intresting fact, as the universe expands, in the end it would haves stretched so far,light from outside our own galaxy won't reach us. Evar.

Sorry I promised not to comment on the views but I just need to ask. The meaning of life is that we exist, is that what you meant?

Ahhh, we can't have a meaningful life? We are just another race of animals? Kinda harsh.

And that improvement again, what does it mean?

Oh, since I'm at it, I might as well ask: Why do I exist?(~what is the meaning of life?) :D Pls don't "go around" this one like you did with the first question.:P


I didn't go around... We exist and everything around us improves... That's the fact!

We aren't god-like race or anything, who has meaning in life... We are just ants in big wholeness ;)

Oh no... I just want to see your views on this matter. For the sake of everyone's nerves, I will not comment them. :P

And Maher, I was just saying that these "cheese/best JEDI EVA"-kind of comments are not good for this topic, but that's just me I quess then.

Oh, since I'm at it, I might as well ask: Why do I exist?(~what is the meaning of life?) :D Pls don't "go around" this one like you did with the first question.:P

We just exist yet everything improves around us :)

Get my point ?

So It isn't just about wise words :P


well its just what i hear how people want to show how far above animals they are. yet our ability to speak (among other things) is just as different from others as dolphins ability to be underwater compared to cat. ofcourse since we are the only ones who have ability to speak in earth we try to put ourselves as some kind of rules of nature. if there were some kind of species that could rival our own, then i think that would bring more understanding about ourselves as well.


Very true and you got my point... So what you think about planets and stars... Are they animals ? is solar system kind of animal ? Fact is if they could speak that would bring more understanding about ourselves as well...

as you said yourself - if you exist thats enough. to do 'nothing' in the same sense would mean that you arent existing = you are dead.


Yeah and that's what some religions are trying to do... Have you tried, how hard is to do 'nothing' ?

It is as hard as doing everything :)

smart answer, but thats just a play of words.
what do you think are the differences between lets say humans and dogs compared to dolphins and cats?

You are existing allready... That's your true meaning... :)


if thats the only meaning, when why there is such word as 'pointless life' ? or 'do something meaningful' ? its a matter of opinion, because what is meaningful for you can be pointless for other.
i think zantus gave us a tricky question on purpose to which there is no true answer. never was.


nah well It is just about how everybody are forming their reality... :)

We just exist yet everything improves around us :)

That is bound to cause arguements. Thoughts on a specific subject matter vary from person to person, and each persons thoughts vary in thier strength of belief on that particular point.

Of course, because we're all uncivil here and couldn't possibly have a discussion without the consequences outlined above. Good that someone pointed it out!

Don't you worry, Imperialists. Revolutionary cells are stocking up on the latest weaponry and ammunition that you, my dear Capitalists, have sold them, for which i thank you sincerely. I'm sure that, once we decide to hang you, you'll sell us the ropes as well.
