It's queer, but I think this is true for me.... though suffering or feeling disaster in some incidents in life, but I feel pleased coz life without pain and sacrifice is nothing...

    And as one of the members said, it's a collection of past yesterdays and anticipations for future...

    Life is what we don't and won't know at all!!!
    I wholly acquiesce!Of course life is what we don't and won't know at all.

    The meaning of life for me, is life itself.
    Where else would we love, hate, hope, dream, achieve, have children, bond with friends...life can be so many extraordinary wonderful amazing experiences and I'm sure when all is said and done we'll be wanting to come back and do it all over again!

    In point of fact the meaning of life is never found in reality. We rationalize it but essentially it is not so. We try to define life in terms of philosophies, sciences, spirituality but in essences none of these can teach you or defines the real meaning of life, no one can but you yourself can find it.

    The meaning of my life is the search for truth and for doing good.

    And Blaze, this thread is not about THE meaning of life, but YOUR particular meaning.

    Power,pleasure, sexual reproduction, selfishness,curiosity, and egocentrism.

    Those are the main things my life revolves around.

    Life is a sadistic joke with no pun line.

    In fact all live around these things whether or not we accept.
