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.

If you've never read watchmen, you should. The movie skims over the grand ideas behind it all, but the novel answers the questions. It's us, it's only us

Do you mean this story has something to do with the meaning of life? A little bit like The Matrix could?

What I got from it was to live for the sake of others, because in the long run, life's too fragile to worry about fighting.

listen the thing that all the people have said before me.... not necessarily wrong. But ultimately it never sums up your question. The best anwser comes from the farran. Read the comic. draw the conclusions for yourself. it's us and only us. U.E is defiently right with his anwser but thats only a piece of the puzzle. if you examine every character in watchman and what their defininition of "right" is, techinically none of them are wrong. the "right" anwser ultimately comes from who you personally view as having the right methodology. a little corney, i know, but it really is the truth. and its also what i think made this comic(and movie) so great in the first place
