life help: What is the meaning of life? - Help.com

42.

Life is love.

Life takes on meaning in the context that you were put here by God for a reason. Otherwise, you might as well be a paramecium in a jar full of swamp water.

That’s not for me to wonder, I’m just going to wait till I die to find out.
But I’d recommend the book ‘The Alchemist’, its about this Spanish shepard who has to go to Africa and find his ‘Personal Legend’ (aka his meaning of life)

Its from ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. These aliens build a machine and ask it the answer to all life or something along those lines, and it answers ‘42′. So the aliens get all pissy and the machine’s like ‘well, that IS the answer. If you want to know the QUESTION, it will take more calculations’ xD

Ohhhhhhh Thank you! I’m not familiar with the film but I have heard of it.

I was going to say 42, but looks like everyone else has said that already!

The meaning of life? Hmm, does it have to have one?

Thankyou Jesus! My, i’m saying that a lot today! :P

Alternatively, it’s a film by Monty Python…

Meaning of life….Hmm… I don’t know, and to be honest, none of us will know for sure what it is….

Hmm, I like that… how many roads must a man walk down?

….42!! Hey, it works! Huzzah!

Hahaha!

Life is basically a game. You can either take the wrong path and realize it toolate, when you’re too close to the end and have to go back and repeat it or, you can live it right and do all the fun stuff before the end. Thats how I see it. Nothing exciting, just one big, messed up board game.

maybe we doesn’t supposed to know in the first place?

I’m sticking with 42, it is just very difficult to argue with!

Yup - Douglas Adams was a genius! :P

I used to study philosophy - I spent the whole year in the pub :P

Questions like these amuse me. It makes me laugh how people (especially philosophers) spend years of their life pondering questions such as these. Surely they are wasting their time, instead of going out and actually LIVING.

it is not impossible to ask these questions while living, while loving, while watching the stars, meeting new people, traveling the world, pursuing a passion, or helping other people. :)

The meaning of life: I think, therefore I am, I am, therefore I must be.

yeah… but i guess everyone has their passions… i don’t think i’ll ever be able to understand that, cuz i’ll never be in that situation, but maybe it made sense to them? i dunno… :)
