I would add “without hurting anyone else.”
OH. MY. GOD. You have fou…
…no.
Methinks there’s a knowingness that comes with finding the meaning of life.
If you still seek validation from someone else, you probably haven’t found it yet.
The meaning of life is more complex than one sentence.
If it was correct, you wouldn’t have to ask, now would you?
I prefer…
Be excellent to one another, and PARTY ON DUDES!
Don’t you think if we found the meaning to life that life would lose its meaning?
Instead of finding the meaning to life, how about we just keep on keeping on?
The meaning to life is whatever you want it to be.
To turn my short pithy answer into a longer diatribe: There is no objective meaning of life. The meaning of life is entirely subjective. Life has only the meaning that you assign to it at any given moment.
That seems like an instruction, not a meaning.
I think that’s partially true .. but sometimes making someone else happy or feeling good is almost better!
lol, silly the meaning of the word “life” is “memory.”
as in, everything you can possibly remember = that which you consider life or reality.
The meaning of life is to guess about everything till the day you die. There are no certainties. Just birth, death and taxes and given the chance people will screw with you.
Life has no “meaning”. It just is.
It might have a purpose though.
The meaning of life is different to each individual person.
The meaning of any one person’s life is what they make it. To love to die to kill to steal to be happy; to cherish life or to waste it. Wasting and cherishing again are seen in the eyes of the individual.
It’s simple yet extremly complex all at the same time. It’s life.
Does there have to be a meaning. Just live life, who cares if there’s a meaning to it or not. The meaning of life, pah just a python movie.
@J0E : Yeah? Who said? The meaning of life may not be complex at all. It could also be true that life is simply what is and has only the meaning we assign to it. One thing’s for sure…if we don’t know what the meaning of life is, it’s probably equally true that we don’t know what it is not.
Easy fella, just my opinion.
I bow to you oh great master.
The meaning of life is entirely subjective. That can be your meaning of life. However, I do not think it will paly out as well as you think.
To remember who we are once again and live life to the fullest.
preservation of the species is the meaning of life
@RomanRealtors I beg to differ. Maximization of the spread of your own genes is the meaning of life. Species come and go all the time.
Did you intend “meaning,” or “purpose?”
What if there were no more hypothetical questions?
Now that our biggest question is answered…what is it we all do that makes ourselves feel good??
I throw things like waterballons, pies and open cans of pop at people who say “you wouldn’t throw that!!” Yes I would!!...“Catch”!! Life is good after moments like that!
Hypothetically speaking… it would be catastrophic, especially for Flutherites!

@Cruiser -catch this!<throws a small rock> ;)
@lucillelucillelucille <<opens back pocket and makes a perfect catch>> Nice throw there Lucy! ;) I see you are expert at throwing things but are you as good as me?? Looky at what I have here!! <holds up a chocolate creme pie>
THE FOOD FIGHT HAS CARRIED OVER TO THIS THREAD!!!!
I think that it is different for everyone. The meaning of my life is to make an impact of kindness on as many people as I can. Leave small signs on this earth that I was here and that I lived a life thinking of others way before myself.
The meaning of life? Make yourself happy by making other people happy.
@Cruiser -<throws him to the ground ,steals the pie and hits herself with it!My favorite!
@stratman37 -I can’t stop throwing food ;)
Didn’t you ever see Monty Python’s The Meaning Of Life?
“Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.”
Simple.
The meaning of life is to not let it pass you by while you sit around contemplating it.
I am told drugs feel good….. do you want to be a junkie?
Don’t get too excited. It’s a pyramid scheme.
@lucillelucillelucille Ooooohhhh! I guess by now you have figured out that was a chocolate covered meatloaf creme pie!! Can I get you a wet towel???
If that’s it, humanity is screwed.
