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.

We have all given thought to such questions like these as to how we came to be alive or how we all came from one single organism the mind is something that will always question everything it is our nature to question thing everyone and even ourselves perhaps if we let things be the answer will fall into place but of course we won’t ever stop searching for such answers i believe that if you live in search for this you will not bare life and if you were able to accomplish the findings of theses questions you would be devastated with what you come across I mean think about it if we were to know the answers to all the great questions in the world what would be the point perhaps what im trying to say is rather difficult to comprehend or maybe im just speaking randomness but one thing I know for sure I believe that life should just be lived with believing in nothing but yourself and questioning nothing but what you do and why you do it …I live for one thing ever since I was little I lived to be loved and love that is my one and only value "for to live life without love is to not live at all" … that’s the answer to all my questions ….but hey im still young ill figure out what I want to figure out …im 17 years young :D “AJG”

Nice big sentence. Get used to use punctuation :)

The value of an answer depends on the practical use of it. The ultimate questions of life, the universe, and everything play a fundamental role in our beliefs, thinking habits, and in our whole life. So answering such questions does matter. It is more likely that the answers give something to our lives than that they take something away from it.
In case of understanding, it's better to be curious of the truth than to be satisfied with lies.
However, in case of personal satisfaction and good feelings, it's better to be satisfied with lies that are believed to be true.
It's a matter of individual choice whether one pursues the truth or accepts something that may be lie - whether one wants to be right or happy.
