I think I've posted here before, but I think that in life you should do what you want to and feel comfortable with. Set goals, and try to achieve them by working (hard). That's what I'm trying to do at least. I'm not sure if that gives your life a meaning though. I don't think there is one. The world as a system couldn't care less if you died. I don't believe in destiny either. It just seems to complicated for me. Note to self: don't think about it too much  |

Quote: The meaning of life is that you live, you get fucked over, and you die. It's that simple. Anyone who disagrees is in denial, or just stupid. I have to agree. (Otherwise I'd be stupid, right?) -Cas _______________ Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. |

The meaning of life: There is no set meaning. To define something as having a meaning, is hypocritical of a meaning in itself. The meaning of life is simply how you perceive it. If you perceive it as pain, it will be pain. If you perceive it as happiness, it will be happiness. There is no reality, no one can define what is truly real. Tell an insane person he isn't superman. Who is wrong? Someone who thinks with all his heart he is superman, or someone who thinks with all his heart that the man isn't superman? There is no reality, life is perception. Why am i here? I do not know yet, truly why i am here. But i know why i want to be here. _______________ "A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" |

47 The true mystery is what is the question? _______________ I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I feel life can only be explained with a passage from one of the greatest pieces of music every written : "Life's a piece of s**t, when you look at it. Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show, people laughing as you go just remember that the last laugh is on you! Always look on the bright side of life. Always look on the right side of life." _______________ - Proud padawan of Kueller. - We really are at the beginning of it all.

What is the meaning of life? Everyone has their own view on the meaning of life. I shall give my two-bits: The meaning of life is to live until you die. You change everything around you until there is nothing to change, then you go obsolete. When a person becomes obsolete, they will die. thats it in a nut-shell... BUT, we are on this earth to think, to ask this question is just to fulfill our duty on earth. To me, everything on earth serves it's purpose. _______________ When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer. |

Cool theory But I think Agent Smith has a point in his theory. Everything in nature is in balance, except for humans. The humans ruin the whole balance, we have no natural enemies (apart from ourselves), so we dominate every food chain. This seems very illogical to me, seeing that the rest of the nature is perfectly balanced, and if you would leave out mankind, it would probably live on and on, until an external effect (like a meteorite) disrupts the peace. |

did I ... say that? For all we know, there is some kind of Walhalla out there where we can find peace after our lives... I just refer to the humans as the aliens on our planet... which at some point is logical... WARNING: This was a theory of mine when I was ten Theory: Way back, the dinosaurs were destroyed because of the two meteorites that hit the earth, right? (they caused an Ice-Age). What if the meteorites were just parts of a world that has been blown to pieces, by war, or what if it was just a second earth, were humans also lived, but blew eachother up through wars? What if some kind of DNA-string, or some kind of mutation was on the Meteorites, and since one of them supposedly landed in the sea, what if they infected the fish and made them evolve into men? In such a case, we would be the aliens on this planet. Now suppose there are survivors from that world that blew up... What if they would make their way to earth one day, and we would meet "aliens" only to discover we're aliens ourselves? Imagine the freaky-ness _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Actually, it's like what erm, Agent Smith told us in Matrix (1). We're just a bunch of virusses on this planet, and to be honest, I do not believe humans are from this planet. We keep searching for aliens in the sky, but what will happen if we discover we're the aliens? _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

The meaning of life is to multiply? I think that's true, for animals. We are different from animals, we can think, that makes us better in surviving and multiplying, but what more can we do with it? _______________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam |

Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure. :::EDIT::: yay! Living is fun! This comment was edited by Garos on Mar 25 2004 11:27am. |
