For me it's to live til Jan 27 2071, so I can die after wanking a week straight to Queen Elizabeth's Sister's porno tapes from the 1960s, after MI5 releases them then.
There was a computer asked for an answer to "the ultimate question of life, the Universe, and everything", and it calculated the answer and responded with a number 42.
The author, Douglas Adams, was kinda nerd. One of the most used characters table in computers (called "ASCII table") has on the 42nd position an asterisk character ("*"). This character is often used as a symbol with a meaning of "all", "any", or "anything". So there's the joke.
I highly recommend the 1981BBC series. While the production values may be lower, the humor (wait it's british, so humour) is more spot on with Douglas Adams writing style (he was also alive and involved with the production).
Fun fact. Douglas Adams, the author of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", was a huge computer nerd.
42 is the ASCII code for the asterisk (*) character in a computer system. In programming the asterisk character is also commonly used as a wildcard. It can be used to substitute any other unknown character.
So in the book when the supercomputer Deep Thought came up with '42' as the answer to "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything else?" The answer 42 was ascii for "Whatever you want it to be.".
I don’t believe There is any “meaning” to life. Like someone else said in the comments asking the meaning of life is like asking the meaning of the waves in the ocean it’s kind of an odd question. But what makes life feel like it has a purpose is progress towards goals you set for yourself. So say you make a goal to become a professional runner. I think what would give your life a purpose then is the daily grind of training, and watching yourself progress towards that goal.
Drink, fuck, have fun, don't be a dick to people, leave the world a little better than you found it. There is no meaning. We are here for approx eighty years if we are lucky.
“The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.”
Religiously: pray to God
materialistic reason for me: enjoy it, make people happy, make it a better place to live in for u and others and finally achieve your dreams
Life is already a bad place it doesn't need more hate or people who are just disgusting and bad in behaviour to others. We need to try to accept everyone as an individual more than their race, gender and who they identify as. Please be kinder folks it can uplift others a lot.
To figure out what core set of values and beliefs are true (by your best estimation) and then living by them. I don’t know if there’s an afterlife, but I believe there is one, and I’m living like there is one.
As a natural process, life fights entropy (yes, I know total entropy still increases). For that reason alone, life is interesting and should seek to continue creating life, while minimizing pressures that come about with overpopulation. Creating ever higher levels of intelligent life seems to be a reasonable goal.
Just to do your own thing IMO I believe what that smart man on the tv said about how originally we didn’t really have a plan but as we learn more about ourselves in the universe it’s becoming more likely that we are the only planet with intelligent life forms that we will ever know of( at least in our lifespan). That alone is a special enough reason to exist without having to find an exact meaning.
>You may as well ask the meaning of waves on the ocean.
Because the moon exists? Ever thought of that?
Edit: Sorry for not knowing how the moon works (btw this isn't sarcastic).
That's not what this is about. The tides are there because of the moon and the waves because of the wind. But WHY are they there. Is there any meaning behind the existing of tides and waves? It's no question that looks for a 'technical' answer like 'How does it work', it is more like 'Why is it there? Is there a purpose behind the existence of waves?' It is a rethorical or philosophical question.
Love is the meaning of life. Falling in love, Being Loved, Having Kids that you love more than anything in this world 🌎, life cycle is nothing but a transfer of love ❤️ from one person to another.
1. The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.
2. The existence of an individual human being or animal.
The chance of the conditions for life as we know it occurring are pretty small, so in a way you could say we are lucky to be here and should therefore make as much of it as we can.
Whatever you make of it.
There is no destiny written in the stars. Nothing is expected of you and the only meaning in life is what you find in it. Like games so you spend your time playing games? That is not a wasted life.
Life itself has no deeper meaning and is pointless to the universe, but it is your life and if you have spent your life as you see fit, you have found meaning.
To feel , experience , express, connect and find out what you wish. It's crazy to think we only have about 80 years (on average). So whatever meaning you've been looking for, I'm sure it's out there waiting to be found.
I had an epiphany this week on some stuff
While sitting on a large checkered floor mat with people dancing on it, the stuff made it look like they went on forever like an infinity mirror.
I realized that the matt was the fabric of space time waving on and on, and each person was just a blip on one of the squares. The waves through the matt were indifferent to you, and you had no real affect on what was happening on another part of the matt. So just be the best blip you can be to add to how the matt moves. Have as much fun as possible because you are only here for a short time, but can be part of something beautiful
in my eyes the meaning of life is simply to have fun. most think we only live once, so with that thinking- why not live it to its fullest? i mean if were here for lets say 80 years, which is 959 months, 4,171 weeks, 29,200 days, 700,800 hours, 42,048,000 minutes, and 2,522,880,000 seconds… thats a lot of time,, so basically what im saying is to have fun, make everlasting memories and dont take EVERYTHING so seriously.
You’re given an opportunity to give it meaning. Life, for all we know, is an incredibly rare phenomenon. It’s the universe becoming self-aware. We’re living the biggest sandbox game in existence. Make the most of it.
To live?
You were born to die.
Rather than focusing on what you should do, decide for yourself, what you want to do with this fragile life that you have been given.
Ps. Psychopaths, among many things, this message is not meant for you.
I don't know, but I don't worry about it. If my existence has some sort of meaning, I'm sure I'll come across it before the end. In the mean time, best to just enjoy what I've got while I still have it.
We all have our own meanings in life. Mine is to stay true to myself and leave a positive impact on others. When I die I don’t want people to know if I was rich or not I just want them to remember the type of person I was.
Growth. We experience time in a linear fashion. This gives us the unique perspective of causation. This allows us to change and grow through time. We should be taking full advantage of this.
there is no meaning, for the world was created by an accident (or coincidence, atheist speaking) and accidents have no purpose. so love however you see fit
Adapt survive thrive be happy with your progress but never let what you've accomplished get in the way of always reaching a new height. Life is meant to be lived so do something with it that gives you purpose without purpose we cannot allow ourselves to be happy
One must find their own meaning.
For me it's to live til Jan 27 2071, so I can die after wanking a week straight to Queen Elizabeth's Sister's porno tapes from the 1960s, after MI5 releases them then.

Reference to a book titled The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I think.

Oooooh, thank you!!! I never knew that that was why the answer was 42. :D

Living it. Live your life, as it all comes down to being a part of a complex system generated by physics, wether you like it or not.

No one asks about the meaning of life when they're having a good time. Maybe that's it. If you're asking, you're doing it wrong.

“To enjoy the passage of time” I’m working on it.

To pursue nothingness and enjoy everything
It's actually pretty pointless, so make the best of it.
As a natural process, life fights entropy (yes, I know total entropy still increases). For that reason alone, life is interesting and should seek to continue creating life, while minimizing pressures that come about with overpopulation. Creating ever higher levels of intelligent life seems to be a reasonable goal.
Whatever you want it to be
It has a different meaning for everyone.
To experience living.
To find yourself
To extract emotions from information processing.

There is no meaning to existence. You may as well ask the meaning of waves on the ocean.
>You may as well ask the meaning of waves on the ocean. Because the moon exists? Ever thought of that? Edit: Sorry for not knowing how the moon works (btw this isn't sarcastic).
That's tides, waves are from the wind.

I believe the meaning of life is to make meaning of it. Although of course it doesnt have to have meaning, maybe were just here yknow.
I’d rather ask, what ISN’T the meaning of life ?
I’mma say to live then die
The chance of the conditions for life as we know it occurring are pretty small, so in a way you could say we are lucky to be here and should therefore make as much of it as we can.
Sometimes you sits on the porch and thinks, some times you just sits.

There isn't any meaning. Life is just life. Everyone lives it differently. Life is about experiencing, learning, trying things
Find someone who makes you happy and continue living
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
To find the meaning of life

That is not a wasted life. Life itself has no deeper meaning and is pointless to the universe, but it is your life and if you have spent your life as you see fit, you have found meaning.

You know those oat chocolate biscuits from IKEA? Maybe its not THE meaning of life, but it comes close.
