    The Meaning of Life

    What if I were to say God had infinite power and infinite knowledge. Would it then be contradictory still?

    The Meaning of Life

    The meaning of life, doesn't have a meaning, without life. There would be NO meaning to anything, without life.

    If I didn't exist, why would there be meaning?

    Even if I didn't do anything in my life, there would be meaning in it, because I've existed; I have been born, lived, and died.

    If I were to never exist, who would know me? If my name was said, no one would recognize it.

    Meaning comes directly from your existence, and without existence, you are meaningless.

    The Meaning of Life

    Yes but people still believe a god exist while there is no proof of his existence. It still does not explain why you are on earth. Death on the other hand explains it. We are here to learn and increase our knowledge to live, so we can avoid death. Example, we all know we will die but continue to avoid it. We are on earth to die.

    The Meaning of Life

    It doesn't explain your existence, but who explains God? If there is no absolute proof of a 'God,' then how can anyone question why they are on Earth? Can't we just as easily question their beliefs with no concrete evidences?

    The Meaning of Life

    Life is not death. You hold a blatant contradiction. The meaning of life is to live, not to die. Your parents conceived you in an effort to give you life, not death. Existence not nonexistence.

    You, who think the purpose of life is to die, should 'live' by your philosophy, and die, or not utter another word. You contradict yourself by existing.

    Yes. To state something is absolutely infinite is to state is has no finite scope; that everything falls within the scope.

    The Meaning of Life

    Ok you convinced me that life is not about death. so i changed my mind.

    I know think the meaning of your life depends on the type of person you are. Some like to believe in a god and they will pray etc to him. while others may believe in having fun. The real meaning of life is different in everyone's opinion.

    The meaning of life is also a song by The Offspring.

    I dunno why there is life, and what the meaning is of it. It's the same reason why there is a universe, why? nobody can answer that question

    if you have no reason to live your brain shuts down after 6 months. I think it has been proven. Correct me if i am wrong.

    I see.
    So is it unreasonable to speak of all possible actions when referring to 'all actions'? And excluding contradictions such as creating a circular sphere (and other actions mentioned previously)...

    But it's not unreasonable to exclude anomalies when saying "living is universally preferred"?

    The Meaning of Life

    i don't plan on dieing, i plan on living forever, through doctor Greys research, replacing old body parts, organs, organelles, cells etc.( not getting into detail, look it up). although if i was murdered that would change everything. To fully understand the meaning of life you have to understand where life begins. Life typically begins when your father as a teenage boy reaches puberty. To live is like winning a lottery, you're either spurted out manually, whiped with tissue/ put down the drain, or you are incubated in your mothers whom, who wouldnt be your mother until your Mother and father had intercourse of course( lol), everything we do, we do to survive. this includes: eating sleeping drinking breathing, going tothe gym , communicating, collecting, and providing for your family. Why do we have the feeling of love, love is just a feeling a chemical balance in our brains to keep us reproducing and keeping our product alive. Why??? why do we reproduce, why do we care about the future of human kind if we won't be there to see it? is it genetically engraved selflessness??? If so then why do we need to be here? what were the first organisms and how did they reproduce evolve, and what did they evolve from? and we can keep going from there? leaves me to the final question, which came first, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?? LOL my thoughts are poured out onto this post.

    The Meaning of Life

    Created becomes the creator, we are everything and nothing. No boundaries exist to be defined with meaning.

    To the poster above me. You're young. You are clinging to your ego, the slave who does not know he is a slave. One day you will be forced to let go, prepare yourself for it while you can.

    There are no exclusions to the statement "living is universally preferred."

    The full and complete statement is: "living is universally preferred [by those who are living]". Which is simply: true.

    No. Any person that did not prefer to live up to this point would already be dead; thus removing them from the scope 'of those who are living'. Therefore living is universally preferred by everyone who is living. Or more specifically: living was universally preferred in the last instant of time by everyone who is still living in next instant of time.

    Even if a person no longer preferred to live at some point in the future does not mean they do not prefer to live at this present point in time. Indeed their continued existence proves their preference to live at this point in time.

    So: Living is universally preferred (past tense) by those who are living (present tense).

    Incidentally, is this going anywhere?
    If you are trying to disprove the validity of rational argument, using rational argument, you are welcome to waste someone else's time.

    Just curious, how do you know the meaning of life is to live, not to die?

    "You contradict yourself by existing" What a wonderful line.

    The Meaning of Life

    By the process of reasoning in the first post of this thread.
    The purpose of reproduction is to create a new human life.

    1. The cause, to which reproduction is the effect, is the desire (or instinct) to create life.
    2. The cause, to which you are the effect, is reproduction.
    3. By extension, the cause to which you are the effect, is the desire (or instinct) to create life.
    4. Your purpose in being born therefore is to be born; to live. Life is created for its own sake; for the sake of life, with no other purpose than to live.

    The meaning of life is, therefore, to live.
    The purpose of your existence is, therefore, to exist.
