Do you belief your life has meaning ?

I think my life or life in general has a goal, life is a gift you know.

Do you belief your life has meaning ?

 

life = work and enjoy...

according to my view

 

i think mine does

 

This is not important question, but it has to be answered by people self ... everybody has their mean

 

Depends...
You work, you live, you die, it's not much of a purpose.
We can only crate some form of purpose for ourself but in truth only purpose that we have is to extend out species.
Not much of a purpose though

 

I think life is a gift too,and we should appreciate it but any way it depend on you if it will be excellent or not.

 

Everybody's life is just gift of God. You have to live good life in this earth.

 

I agree with you, its the gift of God. I believe God gave us this life for a purpose, rather than the idea of "enjoy while it lasts".

 

I believe in the song by Garth Brooks

"Life is a dance, you learn as you go, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow"

I also believe that Life?? What is it? It is one hard journey. You live, you learn, you screw up, you learn. LIFE. It is too short. Live always as if you are dying tomorrow

 

Life has no meaning to begin with as there would be no reason to look for it when you already have it.

 

My Life is to Learn, Grow, Earn and Motivate People

 

These are two very different answers from two completely opposite people however these are logical answers i don't believe to be true. Its simple I believe everything happens for a reason.

 

and so the question is; what reason would it be? That is when you start to look for the meaning and thus the reason of life.

 

Look, here's the case. If you believe in evolution that is.
Think of where we came from...

Tiny tiny little thingies blurping around in the water somewhere. I bet at that time it also thought about the meaning of life. Blurp~~

Then we fast forward a little. A fish! Swimming around happily. You bet he also had his ideas about his environment and all. Should he swim left or right. Up or down. What MORE is there beyond the shiny surface~

Fast forward again. Okay, so we're the little reptile like amphibious animal that just crawled out of the sea. Woaaao~~ Exciting, there is more to this place than just water. I bet they had meetings discussing the meaning of it all even back then.

Then came the monkeys or apes right. Swinging in the trees. Boy sure they did have a good time. Could hang there for hours looking at the moon and I bet they had a whole bunch of thought about this and that, even why it happened to be there in the first place. But let's imagine a bit. Do you really think the monkey was intelligent enough to understand much at all about this whole universe with his limited resources. Hardly.

Now here's a stretch. What if.... after these millions and billions of years of development of life on this planet... we just haven't got to the point where we can get the whole big picture yet.
Imagine that we might actually still be rather.. eh, well.. primitive

Even though of course we are already the most fantastic specie existing on this little planet.

Well, that's a perspective right.

So instead of thinking too much about it. Do what life has done so far over all these years instead. Survive. Develop. Expand. Keep the balance and hey.... maybe some generations later someone will actually come up with something.

Annoying? Yeah, but consider how tiny we are. From the big big perspective.

I like the idea that there may be a meaning. And I'm in the power to influence the development of this whole thing. Maybe I can't figure out the meaning myself. But that's okay. Because I can speed up the progress of life in general, and that's pretty darn exciting

 

yeah,life has a goal,but maybe it's not yours

 

Life is a process of continuous exploration.I think the meaning of life is trying all kinds of hard or happy time.

 

I agree 100% - thanks for the insightful post.

As a sidenote; its amazing... on how many people don't believe in evolution
Almost scary!

 

Life has no goal. It's a game.
Play your cards right and you'll win.

 

don't know. just flow like water

 

BUT, WHAT Ä°S OUR DÄ°FFERENCE FROM ANÄ°MALS?THE LÄ°FE CAN NOT BE SÄ°MPLE THAT AS YOU SAY. THEN READ;
Belief makes man into man, indeed, it makes man into a king. Since this is so, man's basic duty is belief and supplication. Unbelief makes man into an extremely impotent beast.Out of thousands of proofs of this matter, the differences in the ways animals and man come into the world are a clear indication and decisive proof. Yes, these differences show that humanity becomes humanity through belief. For when animals come into the world, they come complete in all points in accordance with their abilities as though having been perfected in another world; that is, they are sent. They learn all the conditions of their lives, their relationships with the universe, and the laws of life in either two hours or two days or two months, and become proficient in them. Animals like sparrows and bees acquire in twenty days the power to survive and proficiency in their actions that man only acquires in twenty years; that is, they are inspired with them. This means that the animals' fundamental duty is not to be perfected through learning and progress by acquiring knowledge, nor to seek help and offer supplications through displaying their impotence, but in accordance with their abilities to work and act. Their duty is active worship.

As for man, he needs to learn everything when he comes into the world; he is ignorant, and cannot even learn completely the conditions of life in twenty years. Indeed, he needs to go on learning till the end of his life. Also he is sent to the world in a most weak and impotent form, and can only rise to his feet in one or two years. Only in fifteen years can he distinguish between harm and benefit, and with the help of mankind's experience attract things advantageous to him and avoid others that are harmful. This means that man's innate duty is to be perfected through learning and to proclaim his worship of God and servitude to Him through supplication. That is to say, it is know the answers of the questions: "Through whose compassion is my life so wisely administered in this way? Through whose generosity am I so kindly raised? Through whose graciousness am I so delicately nurtured and ministered to?" It is to beseech and supplicate the Provider of Needs through the tongue of impotence and poverty; it is to seek from Him. It is to fly to the high station of worship and servitude to God on the wings of impotence and poverty.

This means that man came to this world to be perfected by means of knowledge and supplication. In regard to his nature and abilities everything is tied to knowledge. And the foundation, source, light, and spirit of all true knowledge is knowledge of God, and its essence and basis is belief in God.

Furthermore, since man is subject to endless tribulations and afflicted with innumerable enemies despite his boundless impotence, and suffers from endless needs and has innumerable desires despite his boundless poverty, after belief, his fundamental innate duty is supplication. As for supplication, it is the basis of worship of God and servitude to Him. In order to secure a desire or wish he cannot obtain, a child will either cry or ask for it, that is, he will supplicate through the tongue of his impotence either actively or verbally, and will be successful in securing it. In the same way, man is like a delicate, petted child in the world of all living creatures. He has to either weep at the Court of the Most Merciful and Compassionate One through his weakness and impotence, or supplicate through his poverty and need, so that the things he wants may be made subject to him, or he may offer thanks for their being made so. Otherwise like a silly child who creates a fuss over a fly, saying: "With my own strength I subjugate things it is not possible to subjugate and things a thousand times more powerful, and I make them obey me through my own ideas and measures," he displays ingratitude for the bounties. And just as this is contrary to man's innate nature, so too he makes himself deserving of severe punishment.
