What Is The Point?

[JONNO_CELEBS]

It's just occured to me that there is very little point in "Life" , all we do is plod thru life pissing people off and being pissed off with the ocassional laugh in the middle.

So in all honesty what is the point? :rolleyes:

Just seems a bit pointless really, maybe I'm wrong it's just thats the way it seems :unsure:

Oh well, drink and be merry for 2morrow we do it all again :rolleyes:

42.


No, wait. That's the meaning of life :)

[JONNO_CELEBS]

Thats right and I never could figure out how the meaning of life was 9 x 7 = 42 :blink:

But what's the point?

We are merely hitch hikers in the great plan of life.

the question should be: what is 6 x 7? - that might help you work it out

[JONNO_CELEBS]

@Darth.........I know that I have qualifications in math :rolleyes: But the question and subsequent answe to the question of Life, the universe and everything was 9 x 7 = 42 :blink:

If there is a point to life Jonno. Then I'm afraid you will also have to have a blunt end. That's not bad, that's the first time i've heard that. Hmmmm the sayings of Bigboab. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Skweeky]

You know....


From the day we are born, in this society, people tell us we NEED to do certain things. We NEED to find a nice person to live with, we NEED to find a decent job so we can have enough money to live.
But in the end, is that really what makes us happy?

I don't care anymore about taking decisions that affect other peoples lifes as well. My life is mine and no one elses. I look around and I so everyone trying to make the best out of what they got, even if they have the possibilties to do something else, to change their life. It's not a bad thing to burn all your bridges sometimes. Gives you the chance to start all over again. There is no such thing as right or wrong in life. First of all look after yourself, the people you care about need you strong, healthy, not feeling miserable with the way you are living.
And what if you make a wrong decision, does it really matter? Pick up the pieces and carry on, there will always be new things to discover.

*sigh*

There's a big world out there and we have so little time to see it so just make the best of it :D

And you know maybe better than anyone with 1 exception that I cannot do that :)

Bottom line in life................

[Skweeky]

No, it&#39;s not, makes perfect sense. How can you make other people happy if you don&#39;t feel good yourself? If they care about you they&#39;ll accept whatever decision you take.

But yes, I know Jonno, and it&#39;s easy for me to say. I have nothing to lose, and I live for the moment, always have and now even more...

One thing thats always bugged me is the old "There&#39;s always someone worse off" line, what has that to do with anything?, people who say that obviously have no problems, the people in Iraq etc have their problems, I have mine, you have yours, so next time you&#39;re pissed off I really really hope someone says to you what you just posted and I would love to see the reaction you give.&#33;

Come on Jonno "There&#39;s always someone worse off" :angry: :rolleyes:

Whats the point to life?

Thats a toughy but one that can never be answered with one answer. For everyone it is different. Life is how you interpret it.
The point of life for me at the moment is to have fun and bring up my 2 kids.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the scrabble.

It could also be "how many roads must a man walk down" if I remember.

6x9 does equal 42 incidentally (you just have to use base 13 numbers)

I thought that the mice built a machine that would tell them the meaning of life, it came back with 42. Then they built a machine to discover the question (Earth).

So the meaning of life is 42, but no-one knows the question...

I love the way anything to do with the question of why we are here always resorts to the Hitch Hikers Guide :lol: :lol:

It broke down like this.......

The answer to The meaning of life, the universe and everything was the question of life the universe and everything, so in actual fact the answer was the question which is 6 x 9 = 42 :)

btw, you&#39;re right JP, it was 6 x 9 :)

UKMan can&#39;t reply for some strange reason, so I&#39;m doing it for him

UKMan says:



I have to agree with what Skweeky says although I do understand what you mean Jonno. To be able to understand or even help someone else, in my opinion you have to be secure and safe in yourself first. To many this would be conceived as being egotisticle, but it isn&#39;t at all. You have to make yourself strong first, not allways possible but surely it makes sense.

As to the meaning of life, thats an impossible question to answer, because once you gain that knowledge in full, then the meaning of life would be worthless. Surely the meaning of life is the quest itself?

In my own humble opinion, searching for the meaning of life is a road of self awareness and acceptance of your own shortcomings and misstakes. You cannot be perfect and will never be, if every one accepted that then there wouldn&#39;t be so many problems would there?
To even begin to understand other peoples problems therefore and to be in tune with what they really are trying to convey means surely a self awareness on ones own problems, misstakes, shortcomings, you name it... everything thats bad or good about yourself. If people cannot accept YOU for who YOU are Jonno, then they havn&#39;t even begun to look at themselves.
The cliché "once you&#39;re born you&#39;re dying" is of course true, but IMHO is a defeatest attitude which i hope deep down you don&#39;t really believe in. I would rather say "Once you&#39;re born, you&#39;re on the road to understanding what life is all about".... what happens after, no one knows and quite frankly I dont want to know.

Just be yourself Jonno - a wonderful guy with a great attitude to others - try to ignore other peoples innuendo&#39;s and hurtfull jokes, dont have pity (thats terrible in itself).. just use that attack as a method of becoming more aware about yourself and carry on

Peace

Very well said UKdude, makes sense :)
I&#39;ve always tried to take the "I don&#39;t give a shit what others think" aproach, but it never works :(

Well I think it&#39;s too late for me to change, plus I remember a certain young lady telling me not to.........ty Skweeks ;)

And your line about as soon as you&#39;re born.........I agree with you but your line really would&#39;nt fit that Iron Maiden son ;)

You are born, you go to school, get a girlfreind, get dumped, Get a job, get money, live happy being single, buy a car and a house, get married, have kids, work for the mortgage, watch the kids grow up, see them get married, they put you in a nursing home, they visit you, they get married and have kids, they dont visit you as much, you start thinking your sons name is margaret, you die.

Its a big circle you see and their is no way of changing it.

Point to life, their is no point we are trapped.

When life begins to suck, we look for the meaning to life to live for a reason.

Have a nice day :)

It&#39;s just occured to me that there is very little point in "Life" , all we do is plod thru life pissing people off and being pissed off with the ocassional laugh in the middle.

So in all honesty what is the point? :rolleyes:

Just seems a bit pointless really, maybe I&#39;m wrong it&#39;s just thats the way it seems :unsure:

Oh well, drink and be merry for 2morrow we do it all again :rolleyes:

Just being serious for a moment..

The meaning of life is to propigate your species. Thats it nothing else...not art..not music..from a purely intellectual/scientific/Vulcan/biological veiwpoint It&#39;s just passing on ones genes and trying to keep your species viable..Nature is abundantly clear about this...so if you have sucessfully mated then technically you have won at the game of life...I know this may not sound right..but its true....

There is no point in life. It just happens.

If you have the correct conditions, life will flourish.

In our case, we are made up of protien molecules (DNA), which happens to be 4 BASE. All life on earth is 4 base.

Don&#39;t confues ideas with life. That is a different subject.

For example, a simple idea:
I think, therefore I am.

Religously,the point of life is to worship God (Well that&#39;s according to my religion anyway)

As said in the Holy Koran "We did not created the Jinn and Human but for them to worship Us"

Worship here does not just mean praying day and night,it has a bigger sense than that. Worship here means to do everything that pleases God,for example sleeping,eating and drinking (moderately of course),praying,working,providing for one owns family,and even sex is considered a form of worship in Islam,of course sex has to be done in marriage and not outside of marriage for it to be considered a merit.

and that&#39;s the point of life for you.

Peace :)

Please don&#39;t take this wrong in any way. You religion seems to be the best described religion that I ever heard of.

But for the most part, other religions are basically saying that we, as humans, are created for the mere fact of worshiping God. In other words, being God is the most selfish thing there could possibly be. In the eyes of God, he is practically saying "Me, me me... It is all about me.". No matter how you slice it, you created your daily life around God. Put it this way. Could you imagine expecting everyone worshiping you all of the time? Do everything you expect them to do, and if they don&#39;t they are a sinner. Don&#39;t you think that if you are God, who could do anything, would create a way to be happy without the need to create a huge crowd of people to worship you? So, what does God do? He throws in a wrench and gives us Free Will. Now to me, that makes a game out of this whole thing. We are peons, all for the sake of God. God who needs to be worshiped. What a selfish thing to do.

God can do anything, right? If not, then he isn&#39;t a God. So why can&#39;t he cut the crap (skip life on earth) and create heaven loaded with good people? Instead, he has to make a game out of life and toy with us. Remember, he is God, the guy who saw World War 2 and 911, thousands of years before it occured. The guy who can do anything, including sitting back and watch world events as they happen, even though he already knows the outcome.

Before there were people, there was "just God". How can the the whole meaning of life not be a selfish thing for God?

Calculate for yourself

What are the odds of intelligent life on another planet in our time? REMEMBER, this is just in our galaxy, alone. It doesn&#39;t count for the billions of other galaxies in the universe, nor does it calculate the millions of years from the past or future that life could have existed. It also doesn&#39;t include non-intelligent life such as a planet in its dinosaur (or prehistoric age). The odds are impressive.

Click here for the calculator. (http://www.msnbc.com/modules/drake/default.asp)

If intelligent life does exist elsewhere in the galaxy, we would never live long enough to witness a reply, via radio radio transmission. The speed of light (or radio signal) would take too long.

20th/21st century life = educate, work, consume, breed... rinse.. repeat.

I have recently heard a theory on the meaning of life. I thought it was interesting.

In the beginning God was all that existed. He new his power but could never really experience his power seeing as he is all there was. So he broke off part of him to make souls. The souls would then worship God seeing as they are his children so to speak. God was happy with that, but unfortunatly, our souls then had the same problem as God. They too had great powers and were omnipotent but they also couldn&#39;t ever really experience there power because all of the souls were the same. So that is when human life was created. The souls choose there own situation, they choose to be handicapped, they choose to be born in a rich or poor family, they choose there hair color, they choose whether they wanted to be a cat, dog, or a llama, etc. Then when they come to earth they forget everything and they experience life without there power so that they appreciate their power when they enter heaven again. Kinda like a king living as a peasant so that he understands hardships they face and will become a better king. Or how most people can watch commercials for starving children and don&#39;t donate money because they don&#39;t really know what it is like. We can be told, but we will never fully understand until we live like they do. The soul knows of hardships and joy but they must experience it to appreciate what they have.

This also means that there is no hell, or at least not how religion teaches us. Our minds control what we do on earth, not our souls. Why would our souls be held responsible? Hell is actually the regret and sorrow we feel when we die and face mistakes we made while living. You can kill and not go to hell as long as you don&#39;t regret it. If you aren&#39;t afraid of Jail and murder someone, then Jail isn&#39;t a punishment. But if you are terrified of going to Jail and murder someone, then Jail is hell.

That is basically it, there was more but I can&#39;t remember exactly how it went so I just omited that stuff to avoid confusion. I think this is a pretty good idea, I think it makes a lot more sense then to say stuff like "God gave us free will, but if you don&#39;t do what he wants you are going to hell." That isn&#39;t freewill at all. It&#39;s kind of like a cross between the Matrix and Being John Malcovitch. :P

[Gemby!]

anyone figured it out yet ?

I found the meaning of life the other day...but it was on eight track...bummer.
