No, because it increases the chance of getting pregnant. Everyone knows the biological meaning of life, this is more a philosophical discussion. | ||

As for figuring out what you want to do with your life, you're better off being lost then being a pastor. | ||

I fully agree, but I thought that it would be better for this thread to be more open-ended, with people describing what they seek out of life, and what they believe life entails, rather than have people quipping in with the standard 'there is no meaning of life' bit, no matter how true it is. | ||

If you're ok with being an "average joe," I think diversity is the key. Inverstigate a wide range of subjects, experiences and impressions (It can be anything from Uni. subject to drugs, volunteering or travelling the world). I think reading a lot might help to push you on the right path. | ||

But yeah, im kinda in the same boat as you kinda. In terms of job sense i have no idea what i wanted to do or want to do now, i have had 3 jobs in my lifetime and i have been good at all of them (KFC Manager - Office Admin - Office Junior). I still don't know if i will be doing this for the rest of my life but i know one thing i need a job to have money to do my leisure activites i enjoy (play games/drink/go to football matches etc) So all in all, the only advice i can give is, get a job, any job so you can fund your lesiure activities and continue to do everything you can to make yourself happy, thats the meaning of life to me. Making YOURSELF happy. | ||

This is Life. The Meaning of life, is to choose which of these forces you want to fight/embrance and to understand precisely why you have chosen to do so. And in this cauldron of ubiquitous struggle lifetimes go by, and lifetimes are celebrated for how well you have done the above. | ||

"What's the meaning of life" seems to me like a very ...human question. ^^ I don't think that nature has something like a purpose, a reason or a meaning. | ||

Don't make the mistake of thinking that subjectivity is the same as arbitrariness or meaninglessness. Something can be subjective, meaningful, and non-arbitrary. The meaning of one's life is such a thing. | ||

I'm reading Atlas Shrugged, and that philosophy is presented. It's interesting, but depressing. Having something to live for and give you meaning seems a whole lot more motivating and meaningful. I like to think the meaning of life is to be happy. Simple as that. | ||
