Which is what everyone should do.

The meaning of life is finding the meaning of life.

Read about Logotherapy.

Viktor E. Frankl was a brilliant pyschiatrist and it's really worth reading.

"Life has not a single meaning, but alas, the meaning you give it. Therefore no one can answer this question for you, as you can not answer for them. Find meaning within your own life."

That is what I notioned in that thread you reference here. If anything, yes, life is meaningless unless you give your own life meaning. Moreover, you seem to be very angry, or atleast frustrated and confused. I think you need a cookie, a hug, and a psychologist figure to sit yo' crazy ass down!

Thank you for my new signature quote.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I have never thought about it that way. It's an extremely good way to look it.

Seeing as there are a million and 1 ideas on that, i'd say it's a complete waste of your life to try and find it.

thats the smartest thing in the entire thread tbh and i cant agree more.

So everything you do has no meaning for you? You just do it? Awesome.

as if this is going to be big news

No one said that this would be big news.

There's is no meaning of life. There's a 'perspective' of life, or a 'theory' of living life.

I'm not denying that, i'm just saying live life to what you think is the fullest.

there is no meaning just do whatever

You won't change anyone nor make anyone stop asking themselves that question.

But anyone that has asked himself that question must be dumb or stupid, because they just prove the size of their brain----> .

So your pretty much calling some of the greatest minds the worlds ever seen stupid, great.

Some of you guys really need to open your mind abit more. Sure it's your life your living so you just get on with it, but to stop and think every so often what is life's great purpose is just natural human curiosity.

The meaning of life is just one of those many questions in life that many ask but few find the answers for because there not prepared to journey what may be a difficult path to discover such answers to such questions.

What you people need to ask your self is how do you ever expect to find your own answer to the meaning of life when you don't fully understand your own individual being.

HERE'S THE MEANING OF LIFE:
Be born, grow up, get rich, have sex, have a family.
Then go through a divorice, mid-life crisis, and then bankruptcy.
This is how I see it.
