What's the meaning of life?
Questions that I ask myself every day and have for years
We exist because that's our frame of reference between 2 types of states we have no clue about:
1) before we're born.
2) after we die.
Live, love, learn. All three are to live to the fullest. Was at a seminar today for Dr Hanshee and Deepak Chopra. The ideas set forth in this seminar is that we just are but that we need to balance mind, body and soul. Nothing else matters nor exists. If you want it, create it.
Now I usually shun away from these types of seminars, simply cause I have always believed that thoughts become things. Today however, I saw and heard way more.
The question you should be asking is why do YOU exist? Keep asking that, among other things, and you'll find the answer soon enough. For me, it is to live, love and learn and even serve my higher master, whom ever he might be to me.

Life is a controlling force, but hidden between the frames of existence shows that individual life doesn't have to be controlled. It choses to remain controlled. Everything in nature and human society remains programmed. Why does life have to feel though?
Compared to a spirit life is a punishment. Life means being a slave to work, money, love, hunger, and other life that carries the illusion of being a higher power. They tell us to make the best of life, because we might be here for awhile. Sounds like a prison for spirits that messed up in the after life.
Life teaches us not to fear death. What is there to fear? My child and teen self has already died and became a memory, along with dead relatives and lost love. I'm constantly dying every day, so the final death will be nice.
I'm still a bit pissed I didn't get the choice to exist, and was only left with the option to die.
What type of sick sadistic game is this?
I didn't leave myself with any message or secret that my mortal self can decode, so wtf was I thinking?
Actually now that I think about it, I would be dumb enough to sign up for something called life. It was probably trending.
Don't judge me.. I ate a chocolate bunny before bed last night and had weird dreams.

I just can't find the meaning. Why do we exist? Why does anything exist at all if it's just for one's convenience preferably some deity some where? Why does that damned deity exist if it has no purpose? No beginning and no end to it. It's just there for the sake of being there. Why do we exist if the point of life is a pointless one aimed at existing to cease? It's questions like these that drive me insane and I can never figure out if there's no purpose to anything's existence. Just why? Questions like these make the days bleak.
Religions say severing X-deities will.
Nihilists say it has no meaning.
Absurdist's find it absurd how everything is meaningless, even their own view/emotions. (Need verification on this summary.)
Existence and Non-Existence, what is the point of life and death? Even if we humans could become God(dess)what would your meaning be then? What purpose would you even have?
We exist either because our desire for truth and meaning make us tolerate the cruel reality of existence or cause our biology wanting us to survive and breed.
It's a matter of faith/belief really, which belief will keep you going and which will rob you of all zest for living?

... purpose to anything's existence. Just why? Questions like these make the days bleak.
Your purpose is to spend energy on feminists. Their purpose is to spend energy on you.
BTW did Damani and PI say the same thing in different lengths?
@BD,
you are right. Also your list of all the good things in life
reminded me of the fact that depressive people are aware that
they lack good feelings
despite all the good things outside of them.
Like "I'm supposed to be in love. But I'm numb again."

"BTW did Damani and PI say the same thing in different lengths?"nope.
Damani= "We exist because..."
PI = *hits gong*
Damani= "we have no clue about our existence before and after or terrestrial mortal existences"
PI = *slaps buzzer*
^He agrees. We said the same thing.

I feel like I'm leaning too close on Nihilism. I see this as a simple desire for truth and meaning for why we exist and why anything exists at all if it serves no purpose except for being there. We exist to cease. It's like we exist to not exist. Then is not existing in reality means that you're really existing? When I think about this I can only look at my gun for a while and just think about doing it. I haven't done it obviously, but sometimes I can only think all life is meaningless if we don't have a purpose except for the convenience of existing or for some deity. Then it leads me on into thinking that we're apart of some dead person's psyche and whatever the exists know is his/her's collapsed conscious.

I have the opposite problem. The questions on the meaning of life have never interested me at all. I already know the meaning of life,

We're on the same train of thought. Well I think I am. You're bouncing between wagons, going to the restaurant for a bit.
Why can't anyone spell my name right? 😢

That's not a meaning. It's just a way of coping. Why do so many get these definition screwed up?

Silly questions by the youngsters as usual..
Meaning of life is to living and experience it. Every single atom in this world has its own purpose and they know it, why don't you..?

By design... it's true.
However... I think we're supposed to wonder
and ask this question.
