[quote title=manuel_fabius wrote on Mon, 02 February 2009 12:52]I did a lil search on your question and came up with this...

The meaning of life is deeply mixed with the philosophical and religious conceptions of existence, consciousness, and happiness, and touches on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, conceptions of God, the existence of God, the soul and the afterlife. Scientific contributions are more indirect; by describing the empirical facts about the universe, science provides some context and sets parameters for conversations on related topics. An alternative, human-centric, and not a cosmic/religious approach is the question "What is the meaning of my life?" The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may be considered to be coincidal with the achievement of ultimate reality, if that is believed by one to exist.

...As you can see there is not really an answer to your question, I mean that's what humanity has been trying to figure out since over 2000 years...[/quote]

Chowy, indeed. My motto is :life is its own validation and reward and ultimate purpose. We rationalists find that reason saves us : thereby we avoid the scams of Paul Kurtz's 'The Transcendent Temptation"- those of the supernatural and paranormal superstitions. We naturalists find that science is our glory, contrary to fellow skeptic John L.Schellenberg in "The Wisdom to Doubt." We humanists find that the covenant morality for humanity binds us globally as Paul Kurtz, our distinguished leader ever admonishes. Very Happy

We are our own purposes and goals.Our purposes, human love and this life suffice; divine purpose and love and a future state are nothing.We ought not be"mustabatory"[ Dr. Albert Ellis] in wanting the latter three.It is a non sequitur to argue that ,because the cosmos has no purpose and no god has a purpose for us, that there are no purposes for us.Read Robert C. Price's "The Reason Driven Life."

What is the meaning of life?

The meaning of life is hard to figure. It all depends on who you are and what you want out of life, you know?
