Re: Meaning of Life
I'd rather ask, is this truth absolute or relative. Thruth is not always absolute, not always relative.davidthefat wrote:Is truth absolute or relative?
The meaning of life should not be thought about with logic. Imagine a single metaphysical entity, aware of everything in the universe for a split moment without timelapse, this entity could predict everything that is going to happen as well as what has by following natural laws of physical and metaphyiscal entities. Get the feeling you have no real choise in your life and fall into depression. Then ask yourself, do I want to live if everything could be predicted, does my life have any real value?
If I thought of life this way, I would instantly commit suicide. A movie does not appear as interesting if the ending is known, hence the journey of it is important.
The meaning of life is important regardless of negative or positive forms, the universe did not spunge itself out of nothing, there is a deeper thought behind everything. I'd like to think of The Creator like a paper, it has two sides, yet it is one.
While I'm talking about all this you might just wonder if I'm religious. I'm not, nor an intellectual. I find both corrupted. I'd rather be a happy fool, I wish I were...

Re: Meaning of Life
I see as this:
You are born, and you die. Life is about filling the time in between those two events with something worthwhile.
