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.

What makes all of you so special that you know the ultimate answer to the ultimate question?

No one knows the answer. I don't even really have my own serious answer.

Did I say I know? Did anyone here say he/she knows (except Knower)? :)

I mean how does everyone who has an answer knows it's the answer, except your Knower

"My Knower" is someone who posted an answer on this site and signed it with the name Knower. He is the only one here who wrote that he knows the answer.

I think most of the people don't care if they know the ultimate answer or not, they just want something what they can believe to be the ultimate answer for them, in their own life. Hence most of the ideas are not worth to discuss, because noone can be possibly convinced of being wrong, or believing in mistakes.

Whatever we may be able to comprehend of any kind of new knowledge or information is never more than what we already know. Our own thinking has to develop inside, independent of anything else on the outside, and by one step at a time, we are able to slowly open our mind and realize new knowledge from books we've already read many times.
There is no truth-seeking without suffering of the lack of truth. But the fact is that truth never changes, it always is where it has always been, and it remains the same. It's just that the seekers of truth can only find what they've already learned. If you don't know truth, you can't see truth.
