The Meaning Of Existance

[sharinganuser]

i would like to challenge the people at talknaruto to answer this question:Wat is the meaning of life?

[majinsharingan]

Ask Monty Python.

[sharinganuser]

who's he?

[majinsharingan]

...
Seriously?

[sharinganuser]

yea...i'm serious

[KaitouSai100]

It's something humans can't comprehend.

[NaruxHina_4_Ever]

The meaning of life is ........ it ends!

BTW Monty Python is a comedy group (One oftheir movies was titled the meaning of life)

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

Oh gosh i have no clue what the meaning of life is.

[Raving Shadow]

42!

But i doubt ANYONE would know the meaning of life.

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

hahaha, Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, i hekka remember that scene, lol.

[HinataCuddle]

42 is not the meaning of life.. it's the answer to life, the universe, and everything. There is a subtle difference. XD

H2G2 ftw. :D :D

[Thomas60]

The meaning of life?
*rephrased to* Why did life come in the first place?

For the religious <_<
"The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are
true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God,
to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator,
and to fulfill those responsibilities."
http://www.meaning-of-life.info/TheMeaningofLife.html

but for my own answer, why life began.
I think life is a form of evolution, where being living we have an advantage over the non-living, but that just explains why we continue the 'living' generations.
The meaning is no more than an anomoly or possibilty that eventually occurs within the vast experiment of the universe.

[PriscillaXOXOXOX]

well, i think everyone will in result will have thier own meaning inlife, like some people think it's family to live for, or to mke the world a better place, or helping people, stuff like that.

[Bane]

I dont really think there is a true meaning for life. Life just happends. Humans throughout histoy have expressed their opinion on life in many different ways, art, music, literature, and no one can really say for sure if anyones opinion for the meaning of life is really true or not. Is there a god that created everything for a divine purpose, or did everything just happen on its own? It is possible that there is a god, who started the big bang in a way that set forth in motion events that would make conditions right for life to occur. In reality, we as humans may never really know for sure if there is a grand purpose for life, or if its just something that happens when conditions are right, but thats just my opinion.

[Incendiary]

To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.
That's the world's one and only truth. :)

[duckofdoom99]

The meaning of life is meaningless as knowing it wont mean anything once your dead. Will it really matter if you know the meaning of life before you die because once you die its all over whether you knew it or not.

[Rachiru*]

I am mormon and this is our answer to this question.
You’re part of an eternal plan, you lived with purpose before you came to this life, that this life is a mission and not just a career, and that we will step over the veil someday but keep on going and growing. We our hear to be tested of our faith and loyalty towards god, all of us.

[Mangekyo_Sharingan_BB]

My answer to this question, is very simple. Do not think about the meaning of life, if one contemplates this meaning too much you'll never find an answer and drive yourself crazy, many have done this in the past. The more you dwell and questions that dont have immediate answers they will always elude you. The meaning of life is something that one realizes towards the end of their life as they revel at what they have accomplished, failed, and made mistakes on in the past. Some may find the meaning of life for them to be acceptance, finally coming to terms with the life they led (whether good or bad). The meaning of life completly differs from person to person, to me there does not seem to be, or can be, a generally accepted term for the meaning of life. I do believe that everyone has a purpose, but there are very few who choose to realize their purpose and waste away who they are (and could turn out to be) and what they could have done.

[Praetorian]

I doubt any of you care to hear about my 'meaning of life'... but I do think that it is better to believe it has a meaning than to say:

I dont really think there is a true meaning for life. Life just happends.

therefore, I believe life is meant to glorify our Creator.

[majinsharingan]

therefore, I believe life is meant to glorify our Creator.

I can tell you right now that's wrong.
1. Religion has nothing to do with this.
Second of all if that was our purpose either God's one twisted f**k or We're doing a pretty crappy job.

The Purpose of Life is to Die and the purpose of Death is to Live.

Well, aren't you cynical, Mr. 14 year old guru... (jk :))

You don't understand what I meant, and from previous experience I know it would be no use trying to explain :D

[majinsharingan]

To Glorify God, i understood what you meant, to please the creator, to be the apple in his eye, etc...etc...

[Praetorian]

To Glorify God, i understood what you meant, to please the creator, to be the apple in his eye, etc...etc...

yeah, and you no doubt think I'm stupid for that...

[majinsharingan]

yeah, and you no doubt think I'm stupid for that...

No, I don't think you're stupid I just think you are too wrapped up in Belief and are forgetting certain facts.
Although in this thread nothing is really fact.

[-sage-]

the meaning of life is to love and be love. our strive for prefection through love is a reason for life. through love we reach perfection. through perfection we find meaning. with meaning we have wisdom. wisdom leads to peace. peace ends in harmony. a voice in my head said that

[majinsharingan]

Really? The voice in my head tells me to BURRRRRRN THINGS!!!

[-sage-]

ahh i think the voice is channeling buddha. it always says stuff like that

[Lost_Soul]

The meaning of life and to exist.... I think the meaning of life is to figure out what it means to live... Life can be lived in any way... good or bad.
No one knows what the actual meaning of life is. Some say that we're all being used by God to fulfill whatever he wants. Some say that there really is not meaning to life.
The reason why we all live and exist in the world... I think it is the find the reason for being created. To live and find out what our purpose is.

[[ShadowWolf] Daisetsu]

Purpose of life? No idea.. Breed, have children, keep the "human" population going for more years, While humans kill off wolves, and other endangered wildlife?

[majinsharingan]

Daisetsu;229109']Purpose of life? No idea.. Breed, have children, keep the "human" population going for more years, While humans kill off wolves, and other endangered wildlife?

Most of the time killing endangered wildlife is to build land.
Killing Wolves I have no problem with.
They scare the bejesus out of me and they want to kill me, it's self defense, they attack you, why would you not defend yoursef?

Hey, hey, hey. You kill a wolf, someone who may be obsessed with them kills you. Though, its not going to be me. I dont got the heart to kill.


But For one, why would you be so close to one for that to happen? Second, Wolves, I think, are awsome. three, Sure, I'd try and protect myself, but I wont kill a wolf.

It's not like I'm hunting them down or anything, but if I'm out in the woods and three or four wolves surround me I'm taking out my knife and spear, kicking then hauling ass.

[Soul]

No one knows our meaning of existence. and we'll probably never know.

[[ShadowWolf] Daisetsu]

Probably.

Why did the big band theoy happen, and the 8/9 planets formed, and why was earth the only one that was in the "perfect " location to support life?

[majinsharingan]

Daisetsu;229201']Probably.

Why did the big band theoy happen, and the 8/9 planets formed, and why was earth the only one that was in the "perfect " location to support life?

Well seeing as the Biologist is right behind me I see no reason to post but, we are the perfect distance from the sun, Venus and Mercury are too hot and will kill you. Mars has a weak atmosphere, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas planets and Pluto is a frozen ice ball where we would ultimately freeze to death on.

[-sage-]

the planets are signs of harmony. all but earth live in its own peace. each peace is from the planets wisdom. the wisdom was caused by perfection. perfection was achieved through the creators love. the voice wont stop

[majinsharingan]

^^Yeah the Voice is wrong there.
1. There's no peace, never was peace, never will be peace.
2. I don't think we necessarily deserve the Creator's love.
3. Nothing is Perfect.
4. That voice is too optimistic and not enough realistic.

[-sage-]

ahh but he is true. the planets would dissipate/explode with out peace. the inner wisdom of the planet is made from perfection.

[majinsharingan]

ahh but he is true. the planets would dissipate/explode with out peace. the inner wisdom of the planet is made from perfection.

Yeah that's definitely a Buddhist.
There is no Inner Wisdom in a ROCK.
Nor is there perfection in anything.

[-sage-]

whats sad is im multi-religous. and all things have two things. Chakra and Peace. the planets stood since time began. perfection is achieved through love but love takes time.

[Uchiha-Madara]

^ yes it does, but if we the people who inhabit this planet are not willing to take the time to achieve said love and peace, and are not willing to look past their own lives to the bigger picture then i do think we will never see the light of peace

[-sage-]

what is the light of peace, but harmony. few things reach perfection. a person cannot reach perfection because we want. a rock does not want therefore is perfect. in perfection is meaning and with meaning lies the wisdom we are to blind to see. to see the wisdom leads to peace.

[Rachiru*]

Click this to see the answer to your question. >>The purpose of existence (http://mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/basic-beliefs/heavenly-father-s-plan-of-salvation/god-has-a-plan-for-your-life)

[KaitouSai100]

Hmm, we got into personal meanings?

Well my personal meaning of life is to make a difference and to be remembered.

[-sage-]

if harmony is reached so is inner perfection. without peace, harmony is not able. without wisdom peace is useless. without meaning there is no need for wisdom. without the strive for perfection, meaning cannot be attained. without love we cannot strive. these are the steps to existance i have been told. they are truth.

[Masterofdeath]

The meaning of life is to suceed both physically and mentally. To push yourself to be the best man or women you can be. The meaning of life is to be as close to God as you can and achieve nirvosa or what I call a state of peace and achievment. The meaning of life is to push yourself to accomplish far more the goals you have set for yourself. When you reach a peak you continue one and push yourself beyond the limits. When you achieve all you can you find more to do and accomplish that. That is the meaning of life.

This is as close to God as we'll ever be.

[Masterofdeath]

Lol!! probaly

[Olivia_13]

The meaning of life is that we will slowly tear eachother down and destroy our species. That's what I think.

[majinsharingan]

The meaning of life is that we will slowly tear eachother down and destroy our species. That's what I think.

I'll take this one.
That's really not the meaning of life, everyone else's even the religious ones, those are plausible but this, no I don't think anyone here wants to do that.
Although you are right in a way, that the meaning of life is to die, there's no way of avoiding it.

[jirayassecret]

Easy. But you need to watch Monty Python and the meaning of life. Good take there.

[majinsharingan]

^^Damn I was about to make that joke.
lol.

[silver]

i dont think there is any answer for that ...life just happens and we are too coward to let it end ..so we let it go everything is unexpected and one dont even know whats going to happen nor you have the power to stop it so? why worry about it? life goes on...just let it go...

[kabutotwin]

My friend and i think that the meaning of life is unique to each person, each person creates there own meaning of life as the live life.

[jooter]

The meaning of life is the search for truth and knowledge...

[kabutotwin]

I will agree with you there i mean where could you go if you didn't have knowledge or truth?

[Oh Yeah]

I believe it is to find understanding and Live

[Oriko Machuro]

Well Id have to go with Kabutotwin and jooter

[silver]

ok..so? where do we start you so called this "search for knowledge and wisdom"??? ...i mean look--you get up,take a bath get ready go to school/job and then come back home do your homework/or some house work or stuff ,have dinner and sleep...this is what mostly happens in our daily lives .

[KillTheOpposing]

The meaning of life is to amuse whatever made us.

Nobody can comprehend the meaning of life. It's a hard question.

[Seattleboy93]

Haven't you heard??? Our life is not a reality. It is simply something that is all a concept in our heads!?!!?!!?!


But seriously, I keep getting the analogy that life is like a box of chocolates, and if It is, I intend to be one of the few that never gets eaten, for I simply look to good in the packaging :)

I would also never get eaten but because I taste bad.

[Seattleboy93]

Lol, I was gonna say that, but personally, I wouldn't mind takin a taste of my salty skin, it is well cooked in some places.....lol.....^^^

[jooter]

The meaning of life is the preparation of your death...

[deidara.artisabang.un]

Some say that God created us because of the unique Earth and the reason for this was that Earth would become even more unique. So, in some people's opinion, we live to fulfil and relish the Big Bang of the Universe.
My mind is spinning with this question every second of the day... I created a thread exactly like this but it got closed... xD I really wanted to know everybody's opinion... but guess what my conclusion is? It's probably a rhetorical question. But it doesn't have to end there...

[Ecron]

there is no meanin we work and live for no reason

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Why does there have to be a meaning to life? Does there have to be a meaning to everything? It is a question that fools the human society. Personally I could care less about what the meaning is, but the way I see it, there is none. We are born, and we die. Be glad to have so much.

[wang tang]

in my opinion,thats not really a good question,everybody has a different definition,the question sould be,what are you gonna do with the life you were given,and because nobody has the same life,that would be your meaning of it

[Kakashifangirl 1221]

The meaning of life is what you want it to be.

[Ecron]

yea i still believe we live to die

[Akamaru]

We exist for no reason. If we had reason to exist then there would be no point in being human. It's basically saying that no you gotta do this because that's what you are destined to do. You are suppose to make your own choices.

[hauntless]

there is no reason and the only way life happened 2 b on this speck of universal dust is coincidence

[Doodlebug]

The meaning of life is to give the next generation more hope for their future than we have for our future.

[Akamaru]

Do you guys read? No one sentence answers e.e

[Doodlebug]

Well, I was trying to answer the original poster's question, and I didn't feel like reading everyone's post.

[Akamaru]

Its a rule of the debating thread so either post a longer response or do not post at all.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

The meaning of life is to give the next generation more hope for their future than we have for our future.

That actually sounds like a very nice way to put things, despite it being one sentence. People need motivation.. and although it may not seem like there is a reason to exist, society would be better off with one. I would agree with that any day :lol:

[rush rush]

The meaning of life is a concept that concerns the possible purpose and significance that may be attributed to human existence and/or one's personal life. It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific and theological speculation, and there is a huge variety of views concerning this philosophical problem.

Paul Gauguin's painting Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? illustrates his interpretation of the meaning of life.It is often expressed in various related questions

[Konohamaru]

the true meaning of life is to live and then die if there is another reason i think peaple would be immortal
