maybe if you got a phone book and asked the 42nd 42nd person you counted

[Jelly]

*Bump*  :D

Well, I was thinking, when we ask outselves why life is; we always seem to give an answer that does not apply to all organisms.

 

So don't we need to think of something that applies to everything alive?

 

As in, plants, microorganisms, mammals, etc?

[loki redfern]

thats easy, its love. ..it even describes forces - bits of stuff that want to be closer, why do you think they call it attraction

[Alys Kinch]

things actually went right for a change, that's why. or may be we were the wrong thing... *hmmmmm*

[loki redfern]

your applying right and wrong? ..why?

[Alys Kinch]

you mean right and wrong as in good and bad? evil and not? i suggest nothing like that.

[loki redfern]

um no just right or wrong like you said dear :P

[SqueeEGA]

Wow, this is still going?  I thought Cuberry and I killed it a long time ago.

[Jelly]

I bumped it. ;D

[loki redfern]

*shakes it..the thread*

[Jelly]

Be careful with the thread!

[loki redfern]

:-[ sowwie *puts the thread down and pets it* um ..to be or not to be..thats the question right? ..or is it where shall we have lunch? milliways of course, the resteraunt at the end of the universe :D

[Jelly]

*Laughs and snuggles the thread*

[loki redfern]

... um i think i leave you two alone :P *closes the door behind him*

[Jelly]

*Shakes head and gets a cup of tea*  :D

*To thread*

Would you like one sugar or two? :)

[SqueeEGA]

cant do anything without a 'cup-o-tea' can you?  I know how it is, Im scotch.  I suffer from the same condition.

[Jelly]

*Nods* Good old cup of tea...

:o

That's it!!!!

That's the meaning of life!!!!

The meaning of life is: TEA!!!!!!!! ;D

[SqueeEGA]

Maybe. 

 

George Carlin may be right...It could be plastic.  The earth created us because it wanted plastic for itself.

[loki redfern]

scotch?

[SqueeEGA]

Yes.  We are what we drink.

[Jelly]

You said you drink tea.. ???

 

Haha, yesterday I went on my E-mail and got 12 notifying me of replies to this topic :D

[SqueeEGA]

yea, but i said i'm 'scotch' as opposed to scottish.

[loki redfern]

just checkin, since im probably stuck in the middle of you strange tea loving people

[aussie_ashaman123]

Right, well, I know I probably sound hypocritical here, but I've only just had this thought..

 

Why on Earth do we want to know "What is the meaning of life".

We already know, we (humans) INVENTED the word!

 

 

Definitions of 'life' - 14 definitions - WordNet

 

life (n.) a characteristic state or mode of living : "social life"

life (n.) the course of existence of an individual : the actions and events that occur in living

life (n.) the experience of living : the course of human events and activities

I just wonder why the question is usually put like this.

 

Of course, on Wikipedia it has various sensible ways of putting it, if you type it in.

 

Shouldn't we be asking, why were we created?

 

Also, why do we question our existence in the first place?

 

In my opinion, which I've only just realised, there isn't a reason we live. We simply do. Life just is.

 

Might as well question the existence of the universe.

Might as well question existence, and get ourselves really confused.  :D

 

I'd like to know your opinions on this magnificent piece of Philosophy.  ;) :D

 

Jelly.

 

you are stating the definition of life, the meaning is some completely different. I personally think there is only one meaning of life, and that it is different for every single person.
