    Well what is it then? I honestly think its to venture beyound the horizon, to explore and to discover.

    Well in my opinion I think life is doing everything you can in your power to make your "mark" on the world to achieve something of your own prowess and be remembered by a few or allot of people. Such examples as Issac Newton he discovered gravity. Or George Washington who lead with others a revolution against Great Britain. Or Gandhi who fought for India's independence he died yet in the end India was given freedom. That's the point of life is to do something with it and perhaps change the world.

    Be remembered by future generations.

    I suppose everyone has the right to choose their meaning of life. Thats mine, anyway. Aiming to be remembered thousands of years from now, just like Caesar, Alexander or Jesus, for example.

    I think there is no meaning, not to be depressing but because that life, as far as we know, was an accident. So therefore we were never created to fill a need to serve a specific purpose. We invented bows so we could hunt and knives so we could skin animals, they all had a REASON to exist and I believe that if they were sentient, they would think their "meaning" was to skin animals or to hunt.

    Hmm, so if I make a baby, thinking that I will sell it to a slaver, its meaning in life is to be sold to a slaver because thats what it was made for?

    Interesting logic...

    Will you be taking your internets for here or to go sir, because that was pure win! roflmao!!!

    And I think life is simply what we call the passing of time. It's simply a phenomenon that is part of the very fabric of the Universe itself.
