I Believe the Meaning of Life Is Life Itself

In this fleeting thing we call world, millions of lives converge. But which is their meaning? I've come to the conclusion that there's no meaning in life. But this is because we have to give it a purpose, and live happily.
I'm a dreamer, I want to change the world, I'm determined and strong-willed, I'm curious and rational and science is part of my life, I'm understanding and respectful and want to meet more people like me, to find out who I am while getting to know them.
But enought about me :) Now I would like to hear about you.

It is great you discovered so early that the meaning of life is life itself.
We must realise too that there are millions of people living in the same world, more will live in the future, and we may do something to improve, or at least not harm, their lives.

I understand what you mean. It all depends on how you see your life. If we imply that our lives are connected, then there would only be one butterfly effect. I was imagining 2 or more butterflies that start flying far away from each other, but whose flights end up converging. 2 butterfly effect can merge into one, don't you think?

@FlowerAlchemist I think there's a misunderstanding here. I just see a butterfly effect like a neverending tree with exponentially more branches as it grows. The effect is often indirect. What you are describing seems like what I would attribute to the term range of influnce. Or just influence. The buttetfly effect is monodirectionally infinite (only forward) and boundless. There cpuld be a branch on the tree to go back to my analogy that is the effect yoy'vd had on someone and to their effect on others. I more attribute the butterfly effect to actions though, to have a single starting point.

I see. I regarded the butterfly effect as something similar, also monodirectional. But I was stating that the "tree" was always me and my actions. I didn't take into account that my actions have consequences, and not only in me, but in other people as well. That's the real nature of the butterfly effect. However, if I keep seeing myself as the origin, I cannot include in it the previous butterfly effects of people (if they didn't affect, or I at least judge so) or the ones which, even if simultaneous to mine, act in different dimensions.

I see it similarly. The meaning of life is the meaning you give it. The meaning of life, the universe, and everything however is 42.

@FlowerAlchemist I don't think everything is predetermined because that assumes an observer and I don't believe in any such thing. Did you mean living casually or casualty as in death in the previous reply?
FlowerAlchemist · 22-25, T
I believe the same, I don't think fate exists, not god.
I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but I do think that people who just play along their "fate" are not truly alive.

@FlowerAlchemist If say someone just saw it as predetermined and didn't bother with doing anything? I agree.
