Okay Sup Forums lets get serious, what do you guys honestly think the meaning of life is?

Honestly I don't think there is one unless you make it

This

I don't think there is one, honestly. It's hard to find one whenever I try and think of it. I think just do whatever the fuck you want till you die.

I think the meaning to life is whatever is most important in yours. Everyone has that one thing that just seems to shine more than anything. That is your meaning to life.

I don't know if there is a meaning to life, but I know there is a purpose. The purpose of life is to disappoint you and grind you down until death seems a reprieve.

n/a

dubs of truth

Maybe the meaning to life is to survive all of that.

It ends!

I do not believe there is a meaning of life. I think that life is a pointless thing that HAPPENED due to science stuff and the fact that even against low statistical odds, having near infinite space, time, and materials can lead to some really fucky things happening, like life with enough brain complexity to have this discussion on an internet imageboard usually used to transmit porn from source to destination.

Nonetheless, I am not a spiritual person at all, and I never was. I never felt really "connected" to the world in that sense, and I never faced desire to extract meaning out of things. I am in that sense of the term, purely a realist. I exist, I am, and I will be for some short period of time. In my own way, I find that living life without feeling the burden of "meaning" and "purpose" looming overhead lets me feel free to do what I desire to do, not for any one reason or another but just because I desire to do it! In that way, I feel much more free, lively, and energetic.

And so, I present to you cheerful Nihilism. This is how I live. Every morning, I wake up, go to work because humans constructed societies long ago and societies need cogs in their machines in order to function, but as a willing cog you get this green stuff called money. I am okay with this, because I can take this money and waste it willy-nilly on shit that excites me and I repeat this pattern, fucking when I want to fuck, working on cars, enjoying a cold beer, or doing nothing NOTHING at all if the fancy strikes me.

Life is good this way, at least for me.

Also, I feel no guilt ever about my choices or my choices of porn.

There isn't one, life is what you make it. Everyone's life is different so not everyone can have 1 certain meaning.

To ask that question.

You are a sad person, you may not feel sad at all, but deep down you are a sad person. You have no goals, no hope for anything, even if you are right about life it is a sad way to live your "meaningless life", I really hope one day you find that one thing that makes you change your look upon things.

Enjoy yourself then die

To live and die, we're all just space dust living on atoms. Nothing matters anymore.

To pursue and achieve happiness for the longest period of time.

Long term is key, hedonism and crime are antithetical to long-term happiness.

I hate to be that one fag but I'll say it, love. Love is the meaning to life. Think about it, the lack of love is what causes war, the overly amount of love can either cause happiness or sadness or pain, your emotions are what you live with for the rest of your life and everything else determines how you feel. It's all about love and your emotions

Reproduction for our species

to find meaning

feel

There seriously isn't a meaning to any of this. We are genetically predestined to want to survive. So we go through life thinking up this and that reason that being alive means something. Die tomorrow and in a hundred years no one cares. Die in a ahundred years and a thousand years later no one cares. Bring humanity to the brink, let us like a thousand year lifetimes, and in a million years no one cares. It's all a wash.

>hedonism
that's the antithesis of meaning

progression and survival of our species until immortality, unless we kill ourselves off first which is more likely the case

Being in love.

God is love, and god is everything.

If you were not in god you would not exist because god is everything.

If you don't exist, you're not alive.

what the fuck is theis pop psych analysis bullshit
>u r want to nut in ure mom ure brother touched your nipple

Not really religious, but I believe this life is preparation. Our life is only a fraction of the future.

.What's the meaning of life?
>42.
It doesn't fit, I'm sorry. Even the 6x7 meme worked better. I'd even pick, hoe many roads must a man walk down over "What's the meaning of life?"

That's like asking what the meaning of a mountain is. Its a nonsensical question.

The universe and everything in it is dead, and we are merely a species of the dead. And a very rare species.

Is that what keeps you going? I've been considering going back to the Church. Anything to keep me from the incoming fucking shitstorm I'll bring about if I don't find purpose.

Wat

you say I have "no goals" and yet I do have goals. My goals are to enjoy myself, make more friends, and continue working on my car projects. That is three goals. There are other smaller goals as well. I very rarely feel sad about this, I have no reason to feel sad.

Your argument "oh you're so empty inside, you need (probably insert jesus here) to fill that hole" thing is bullshit. I have no hole. What do I need to change? I spend my time trying to maximize my enjoyment of the present and foreseeable future and don't bother with anything else! What MORE can I possibly need? What kind of hope do I need? So long as I don't die until I get tired of it, I'm happy.

You just say this because you lean on a crutch of false hope and empty promises, clinging onto it desperately because you are not strong enough in the mind to realize that the only thing between you and whatever you want is being strong willed enough to demand it happen of yourself.

if empathy is real
then life is suffering
>there's no life without the death of another

I SMELL TWELVIE.

There isn't one. We're born we all eventually die. The end.

Eventually all traces of humans will be erased from the universe so just try to have a good time while you are alive, not that it really matters.

Is that what keeps me going? Nope.

What keeps me going is my appreciation of my/our sentience. And who knows, maybe there is nothing after our deaths, or an everlasting hell with no heaven. I don't care how miserable or how much pain I'm in, I appreciate being here as much as I can, or I try my best at least. If you feel you need to go back to church do it! Before it's too late. I know I'll start going soon, just incase.

This.
There isn't a greater meaning than what we give it ourselves.

Basically if the question needs to be asked, there isn't an answer.

i don't think there is one. drugs are the only reason i haven't killed myself

Then that's the meaning to your life

>appreciation of my/our sentience
what's to appreciate
all modern science has shown the decision has aready been made by the time we're aware of
we just sit here contextualizing things we've already done a millionth of a second ago

Love this guy. My outlook exactly.

You exist to prove that there are an infinite number of finite experiences, which, by definition, includes your experience of this moment. Basically, each of us is one of an infinite number of prisms through which the light of eternity shines.

>I know I'll start going soon, just incase.
another pascal's wager bro i see
i've been playing around with this idea in my head called roko's wager if you're interested

Well you have one thing right: you ARE a faggot

...

I honestly don't think there is a point. I work at a mall in a large metropolitan. I see every demographic and economic status of people imaginable in a single day. All people suck. It doesn't matter how much or how little they have, all people suck. All humans do is talk shit, cover-up their insecurities, and make light of others' short-comings.

Some get ahead, while others fall behind. Either way: people. just. fucking. suck.

Obviously it involves putting up with an unending series of stupid questions.

Everything in our life is there to appreciate in one way or the other. If we weren't sentient we wouldn't be able to. I'm not trying to get really deep with this but I just mean for us to appreciate life lol. Everything after is unknown, and could be a lot worse. (Not being conscious/aware is pretty bad.)

And for anyone who says 'hurr durr you won't even know', you're not completely wrong but don't be retarded.

reproduction, no other purpose.

It's all about the sick repeating digits bro

>If we weren't sentient we wouldn't be able to.
That's our subjective experience. I think it might be possible for self-awareness to exist without the narcissism that comes with "I am."

If you didn't want to get deep with this you ought not to come into meaning of life threads on Sup Forums. I know your POST YOUR FACE thread needs you though. Have a nice morning.

this

Most of the time, when people ask the question "what is the meaning of life?", they only really try to answer the question "what can I do with it that I would like?" without all the philosophical baggage that's carried with the "meaning" of the concept called "life" anyway...
The question wether life has a purpose or not is often discussed by religion.

this. discovery and invention, science art and literature. and rock and roll. but sex is for kids.

To continue the species.

Thanks. It feels good to be above toiling precious time and life away apologizing for doing what one wishes to do in private, no? I don't feel the need to experience guilt just because I spent an afternoon furiously masturbating to asian girls getting cum frosted or anything of the sort.

I think most people genuinely enjoy to let themselves be controlled, however. I understand my philosophy is not for all. I can see how my way of perceiving the world would make other people feel depressed and empty, but it does not for me.

I strain to call my system a 'belief' as I don't really believe in anything. Rather, I have things broken down into itemized tenants that I hold to be true.

1- Life is chemistry

2- Chemistry is random

3- Chemistry is not guided by a higher power

4- Consequently, no higher power is in charge of life.

5- Probability states that I will not die tomorrow.

6- Probability states that I *COULD* die tomorrow.

7 - Probability states that I WILL die someday.

8- I am sentient.

9- I am the sole master of my will.

10- Consequently: I am soley responsible for my actions and earning the best value of my sentience as I can possibly achieve.

As such, I developed my own ethical code, which I actually enjoy following.

I don't disagree with you, or really anyone in this thread. I don't mind heavy conversation normally but I'm just trying to chill on some popcorn and Youtube/Sup Forums for tonight. I'd rather continue lurking than typing haha, I'll have a nice night though, as long as you have a good morning.

>I'll have a nice night though, as long as you have a good morning.
It's a deal. Consider cremation.

ITT: fags arguing if they live their life with or without God. That's not what user asked, he is trying to know what it is y'all live for, not you guys point of view on religion.

Two people on Sup Forums come to agreement after argument?? History.

Test if you go to hell or heaven. Atheist fag ur probably out of luck.

Yeah at first it might seem like a life of fucking aroumd and being a slob but that thing you said about "long term happiness" is the exact point. Just because we live life to get the most enjoyment out of it as possible doesn't mean we're lazy assholes who are going to be a burden to society for our whole lives.

The meaning of something would imply that it was meaningfully created. This is where we differ. I see no evidence of meaningful creation or even willful creation, and certainly am not willing to waste time worshiping what cannot manifest itself except as the oft-flawed reports of other mans.

For something to have a meaning more than a purpose, it must inherently not have much in the way of substance. Art and writing, for example has a meaning, it stands for something, it only exists because it has to in order to get that message across. Its purpose is meaning.

Physical objects and processes have a purpose sometimes, but often not a meaning. A car for example, what is the meaning of a car? A car means nothing. Its purpose is to transport people, and goods. There are other purposes of a car as well, such as entertainment and status, but alas. Its meaning is nil. A car does not mean anything else than what it is.

Life is a biological process. Its purpose, which was developed through evolution is to replicate itself. As a human, you are simply a spin off of a gigantic self-replicating 'program' not unlike a computer program but that which is coded in DNA.

My philosophy answers both of those questions to my satisfaction. For a purpose, my purpose is to exist and maybe eventually nut it in a girl so some other kid gets born with my freaky ass brain. For meaning, my meaning is none, but that is okay because I can find pleasure in doing what I do well.

Reproducing. Having a child and nurturing him to be a good person, which also makes you a good person

That is not a clear defined purpose.
If we have grown up kids we still live after, then our lives, are they purposeless? And if we don't or can't have children, are our life still purposeless?
Why the person who project to have kids have a purpose while others don't? Aren't kids just a result of our desire like everything else? Why reproducting is special and shouldn't be viewed as an effect without particular intrinsic purpose?

Yeah, or that we are depressed just because we think life is without a point. So what? I feel liberated to have a grasp of that as a concept.

I like the jib of your jab. If you were to email my throwaway account, EXZRX@ gmail dotcom, I would talk to you whenever.

Top kek when ur atheist fantasy is destroyed and ur burning in hell

Dubs of facts

reproduction isn't a purpose it's just a repeating cycle it doesn't achieve anything

>it's just a repeating cycle it doesn't achieve anything
the dna in every cell in our body doesn't know that

>Top kek when ur atheist fantasy is destroyed and ur burning in hell
*tips menorah*
pick a god, any god?

I'd rather spend an eternity in hell with all the cool people like Tesla, Hitler, Benjamin Franklin, and so on than spend a minute of bliss surrounded by people who look to badly written books and preachers for answers rather than within to find their own. Thanks.

Also, I doubt heaven has strippers or blackjack tables, or like... heavy BDSM. You know, if hell is really where the bad people go and satan is bad himself, hell is probably alright for someone that likes BDSM and such. It will be fine.


No, but really the sad part is for all your wasted time and all of my wasted breath, at the end there is nothing. BECAUSE THE BIG BLOB OF NERVE TISSUE THAT MAKES YOU SEE HEAR AND FEEL THINGS TURNS TO FUCKING SOIL AND THEREFORE IT WON'T WORK NO MORE.

Yeah what's so depressing about accepting the idea of death as basically inevitable and trying to fill the time in between with as much good stuff as possible? Considering the main alternatives are depression, suicide or trying to believe in an afterlife and joining some bullshit religion.

And maybe I will. Email noted.

Lel at neckbeard thinking meeting Hitler is better than burning and boiling eternally.

Can't think of something more relevant to you:

"Surely, the disbelievers will be in the torment of Hell to abide therein forever. The torment will not be lightened for them, and they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair therein. We wronged them not, but they were the wrongdoers. And they will cry: ' Let your Lord make an end of us’ He will say: ‘Surely, you shall abide forever.’ Indeed We have brought the truth to you, but most of you have a hatred for the truth"

I really don't know. I'm more scared by the idea of infinite time than finite time. Sounds boring and easily repetitive, and evidence points to it being not the case anyway.

The most interesting human conversation I ever had was with a 94 something year old lady, who was slipping in and out of lucidity at the time. She turned to me, pretty much at random during conversation and said...

"In the autumn time, we used to bring the steam tractor to the farm."

I don't honestly remember where I was going with this, but it resonated with me then and still now. Something about time, and how it slowly erases things like that.

The only thing eternal is the hereafter, everyone will die.

The meaning of life is to pass down your genes until one of us dinguses breaks the universe. It's the only thing that makes sense.

these words were written by some dude that probably had issues masturbating without needing to cry it out afterwards, and I don't give a flying fuck.

Do you have any concept of a 'no-see-um'? You see, I can prove to you that a hammer exists, by hitting you with it. No-see-ums, however, well you can't just prove they don't exist, butcha can't see 'um. God, well, you can't 'proooove' he doesn't exist can you? I say he exists *butcha can't see um*.

This is all well and good. Some no-see-ums do in fact exist. Where I start having my doubts is when this argument is extended while a collection plate for donations is getting passed around. That's when a flag goes up. Another flag goes up when there are oh, a few THOUSAND other groups that claim their no-see-um is the right one. That's a bit of a red flag as well.

If you accept a God exists its pretty normal to think he'd send prophets. To think Jesus or Mohammed were all random desert people who got billion of followers is ridiculous. People corrupt religions and use it for gain like ur saying obviously.

it was good to see another of my mindset in existence. I must go now, for that not seven hours from now I must be present at my employer in order to make their equipment work and operate as it should... and to help with ongoing projects as well. Should be a busy day, but I let that not bother me. I feel useful, but I do not feel stressed. When I am asked the impossible, I explain that it is, and if my employer insists that I try, I already feel that they were warned! No, even against demands and clocks and all... I prefer to breathe knowing that the world does not end even if things have to pause in one microcosm of a niche of the economy.

It is not that I do not work hard, just that I do not let myself get bummed if my best effort is not good enough to save the day, sometimes it simply is not.

Alas, I enjoy the job itself. I work under no strict schedules or particular metrics. There is no sense there of what *could* be, for every day is different and every job is different. What might take one hour under one set of circumstances at one place in one time, it may take more than a day the next time...

And with my rambling for the night done, I must pass.

Yo is that email correct i tried to send something to it but gmail gave an error message

To live is to consume others.
Eat

Isn't this the question that spawned religion?
