What's the meaning of life in your opinion?


Recommended Posts

Life is the most horrific, abhorrent, disgusting, and cruelest thing imaginable... We as a society are just completely fucking oblivious to it ;)

Sounds like a skill issue.

My meanings of life are to have a good time and create content which I'm hopefully remembered for.

I'm sorry if I answer too seriously to the question… But I may guess It's the good place to do it ? x)

It's such a big philosophical question put into a Doom forum may I say, but that's absolutely my kind of debate.

Philosophy is in everything, including Doom.

 

The very point to me is that "a life" is a way different thing from what is "the Life" with a big L.

The difference is that a life is a personal behavior where everyone has his own journey of thoughts and actions that lead to experiencing Life, while Life itself is a general concept and trait that every form of life share, including animals.

So, yeah, Life don't have any meaning in the first place, because this is an """absolutely unexpected chemical interaction""". The word unexpected here is exaggerated, because Nature (Starting from the assumption, of course, that there is no divine entity into the calculations) don't expect or unexpect anything, Physics and Chemistry just go along and interact in a perfect and chaotic entropy.

 

What is a single one life though... Is a different story. This is where Life is shaped, and where it takes on its full meaning. A life is the human definition of what Life is.

While Life don't have any meaning, there is a good and a bad life, meaning that a life is a moral positioning : This is for a reason that the Greek word Philosophy, "Philosophia", basically mean "Love of wisdom". Everyone here has already experienced bad and good feelings, and depending of our character, we've been reacting in different ways. In a simplistic conclusion, I think life is about emotions we perceive and how we deal with them. They help us to create, but can also tend us to destroy ; but I think that the worst of the worst is the passivity, this is sometimes where you no longer fear death, if you get what I mean.

To eat, procreate, survive, perpetuate the species, just like every other living thing. We're smarter though so we make the process a thousand times more complex; but boiled down, it's all just to eat, procreate, survive, perpetuate the species
