What to you is the meaning of life?

Seriously.....what is the purpose of being here, being alive. To live in a world where you are just born to die. Have to live in a world with so much cruelty, hate, pain, abuse, suffering, and illness?? Not saying that this is going on in ur world. So what's the point of it all?

we arrive
we experience
and learn
we choose
we become someone
the best we can be
we make a difference
big or small
we feed a spark
create a vibe
that will resonate through eternity
while our physical being
nourish the earth

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.
The lunatic, the lover and the poet
Are of imagination all compact:
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:
The poet's eye, in fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name

The truth as you see it
remember
we are not the same person

@JustImagine: Sure :)

They say keep on searching for the purpose of it. Why search? You can create your own reason of being alive. And Sometimes you don't have to have any reason at all, sometimes it's how you live a life.

But I can't make the most of it. I hate sering this. 2 of the best thing's I have heard. Are from the movie Green Mile...the first is *I am tired of the pain. I am tired of people being ugly to each other. Tired of the pain I feel in the world!!* the second is *That I await for death, long before it waits for me* so true.....not that I am gonna kill myself but I will wait till it's my time. But would rather it be sooner than later......

@alexisjack120: Good film, to be honest I feel the same, I've seen so many horrific things that keep me awake at night. The only thing that stops me leaving this earth is the animals I have, most of them have had an abusive past and they don't have any choice in staying or going, so I stick around for them.

@ajoite: my reasons for still being here is my baby Stormcloud he's my best friend in the whole world

I don't think there is a reason. Biochemically, the universe has shouted itself alive, and millions of years later we are advanced enough to think about it and imagine there must be a reason. But our advancement is entirely independent of that reason. What would be the reason for primordial slime? If there is one, it's same reason for us, the descendants of that slime.

Fooking hell, what's with all the heavy questions? I come here to be light, but that doesn't always work out. What other happy shit are you going to shower on us today Alexis? Hook us up!😃

@NigelDoes: Sorry.....

The telos of human is being.

No meaning. No purpose. Just... being.

Rather than seek a meaning of life, seek for a life of meaning. Not only will you actually find it, but you will be happier, and the world a better place for it.

Or, Earth is a massive negative implanting spiritual plane where many thoughts and dispositions are conditioned into an individual in order to direct future behavior.
ajoite · 51-55, F
Any reason at all and no reason. Take a lesson from animals. No religions, no belief system, no angst about why we are here. They just live in the moment.

Ultimately, I think the world as it appears might be a mistake. The rest is up to your interpretation.
Purpose, meaning, value - these things are granted, not discovered.

No real purpose, so just make the most of it.
Meaning of life restored through Jesus Christ (for ME anyways)

And I already do know most people think it's all fairy tales and yarn. And yes you have that right to believe what you believe. I'm not here to jump down people's throats I'm not that way. Each person's meaning of life TO THEM is going to be different that's a given

alexisjack120 · 46-50, F
@NigelDoes: Who me?? .... this is my only one and I have only been here couple of weeks! Don't worry you won't have to read my Stupid Philosophical shit anymore soon....
NigelDoes · 56-60, M
Thank you Alexis. That is more of a relief and you realize. Lol
alexisjack120 · 46-50, F
Yeah awesome hey better for someone to leave the site completely instead of blocking them just because you don't agree with or like what they are saying....bye bye....ziff

It's OK to not be stupidly philosophical ALL the time. Take a breather. 🤠
