The Meaning of Life

Thoughts?


Lol, but actually, what do you ppl think the meaning of life is.  Was thinking.

Well, obviously if you're really bad off you should really talk to a professional, but as long as you're not contemplating any ugly irreversible acts, here's something that might help.

Think of someone you know that seems pretty happy about life. How would you describe their attitude? Are they kidding themselves? Are they ignoring the ugly truth about life that's right in front of their eyes and pretending that some happy fantasy world that exists only in their heads is real? Well, guess what. That is exactly how every happy person in the world acts. And the really strange thing is that it's OK. Because the reason that you are unhappy is that you have constructed a fantasy world just as complete and just as removed from the "facts" as the Pollyanna imaginings that you so despise in those happy people.

Reality is in fact neither good nor bad, it is a very plastic inkblot sort of thing that can be bent and twisted in many directions depending on your beliefs. WHAT! you say? What about THE TRUTH? Well, that's a complicated question and it gets into the meaning of life bit that we haven't gotten to yet, but suffice it to say that what is REALLY going on is so strange, so complex, and so far beyond our everyday understanding, that it bears no relationship to what you think of as "reality", "truth", or "reason". Good and bad, happy and sad, these are notions that you are imposing on the world around you. But, more on that in part II of the Meaning of Life Page.

The answer to unhappiness is both liberating and infuriating, but here it is. Happiness doesn't depend on anything that has or has not happened in the past, nor does it depend on your future prospects (thank God, eh?). The simple fact is, in order to be happy:

I think the meaning of life is a picture of Christopher Walken building Optimus Prime.

Oh I just looked at that pic... well.
Christopher Walken doing anything.

Deep man, deep.  That's the kinda stuff I wanna see on this thread.

The meaning of life, in a way, is a picture of Christopher Walken building Optimus Prime.  It's to have the experience.  Good, bad, it is all experiences in life.  The chain of events that happen cause the good and the bad.  Really, it is the bad things that make the good things enjoyable.  If there were no bad things, how would you know what was good?

In essence, The meaning of life is that picture, because people enjoy both christopher and optimus enough that it was created. 


In the end, isn't that what we really want?  A picture of Christopher Walken building optimus prime?

But i'm only someone who is alive, so i have a biased opinion.  lol

The life of a person with perfect health and has all good luck would end up being at the most to 130.

But usualy the meaning of life is to live 30-100 years and then die and then come back as liek a poodle  or a cat or something.

Meeeoow
