The meaning of life

Since the dawn of time, the ultimate question has been asked in a number of ways. Why do we exist? What is the meaning of life? Does God exist? What is the origin of the universe? How does the world exist, and what is its origin or source of creation? Why is there something rather than nothing?

This site offers you the possibility to discuss this fundamental metaphysical question with others. It also allows you to share your opinion and react to other people's points of view. What do you believe in? What do you think is the meaning of life?

Whether you are a believer, an atheist, an agnostic, or a clever mix of all three, you are welcome! Your point of view can be serious, absurd, even bordering on completely nuts. However, the following two things are essential to this dialogue: respect and an open mind.

Respect: you may defend your opinion and try to prove the falsity of another, but it is forbidden to attack its author directly. Fascism and generalisations are strictly verboten!

An open mind: if you can't handle having your convictions being put into question, this might not be the place for you. For this same reason, a sense of humour is highly recommended! If your beliefs forbid their being made fun of, you might not want to participate in this dialogue.

Life doesn't have a meaning. We were set adrift in the ocean of reality when we were born but there is no shore. When we die we sink beneath the waves into the black void.

Because there is no meaning I believe we can do what we want. Figure out what makes you happy and do more of it. Everybody wants to be happy, maybe not directly but ultimately.

If you don't know what makes you happy, experiment. You'll find something eventually.

Basically I don't think there's a point to life but it's pretty fun at times. Meaning would be nice and would help to put my soul to rest but it's not really necessary for day-to-day life. It's only when you're trying to sleep and can't that the great conundrum bites ya.

Peace and love :D

i so far believe that the meaning of life is literally to be happy. and what you said is basically correct except you didnt connect being happy to being the actual meaning of life. like you said find what makes you happy and become the best at it
