I found meaning to it when I met kind hearted people that made all my pain go away. You don't need money to have a good time.~ |
 サディスティックな考え "JUST KILL ME." サディスティックマインド |
| Yeah it's pretty pointless in the grand scale. You can still try to make the best out of it tho. Might as well enjoy your limited time alive. |
 |
| Even if there was some sort of ultimate meaning, that doesn't necessarily mean that would have any meaning to you as an individual. You could just as easily still think things are pointless. Just create your own meaning and purpose. Strive toward what you want to accomplish in life, and above all, enjoy it! |
 |
| Oh, the weekly "whats the meaning of life?!" thread. Some people dedicate so much time contemplating the meaninglessness of life that they never go out and live it. Humans, like any other living creature, have to work in order to survive. Its just that now we earn our food pushing paperwork instead of chasing deer with a bone club. I think we have it alot better now. |
 |
| Yes, life has no meaning.....Besides, I don't like working. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| existence has no meaning until you give it meaning - existentialism |
| Nah not really in my case. The reason I live is mostly for material things and trying my best to be useful while my body and mind are still functioning. |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Life is pointless, why? In the end, no human is immortal, 40 - 50 years from now you are going to find yourself barely being able to move, so what is the point? |
| What exactly do you mean by "meaning"? Where does it end and where does the "meaningless" begin? I believe that during their life, people accept labels upon themselves: "human", "citizen", "straight", "gay", "uneducated", "professional", etc. Those labels form context for our interactions with society and are therefore useful, but they also restrict. Person who believes themself to be "gay" might misunderstand their affection towards a member of the opposite sex. Person, who believes themself to be "professional" might make a very basic mistake. When a person accepts more labels upon themself than they can currently handle, they might be overwhelmed and lose sight of what they are. Try looking past a few "upper layers" of your labels. Find some piece of art that stirs some sort of response from you, be it a book, a melody or an anime. Try asking yourself why does it interest you, think and feel it through. No need to rush forward—taking a step back might be a better option. No need to be hasty—maybe it's time to deliberate. Find your interests, define your priorities, even if only temporarily. Explore yourself. |

| Life certainly seems pointless to me. I continuously try to be positive and optimistic these days, but who am I kidding? 2019 sucks. |
 |
| Meaning is a concept created by life forms. Different things have different amounts of meaning for different people. There can't be an inherent meaning to anything, it's always given. |
| @Jp124 I see, that seems like a complex problem. I think the fact that you try to figure out this situation and ask other people for advice and opinions means that you still want and try to make things better, and I think that it's a good thing, don't forget to rest well though. I feel like i lack competence and information to give you any concrete advice, but I do wish you good luck! |

| the meaning is whatever you decide it is. |

| the meaning of life is just not dying. |
| Leave the world off a little better than it was when you came into it. |

| Existential theist: yes it was, welcome to our church. Existential atheist: no, but we can create our own purpose in life. Absurdist: life has no inherent meaning, it's absurd, but we should endure nevertheless. Nihilist: fak all of you!! .... in the end, even the most pessimist ones ironically still create their purpose with such identity branding |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| The meaning to life is a stupid ass problem if there ever was one. Meaning is assigned. There is no meaning to a clock except to the user of that clock for a particular use that he designates. There is no meaning to a word where there are no people to invent that meaning. There is no meaning in any physical phenomenon until someone models it. So what makes life the magical exception where meaning has to be given to you? If God told you your purpose in life is to suck your own dick, would you just accept it (oh, okay...), or would you exercise your own volition anyways? |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| It depends on how you control. Life has its own up and downs...and it gives you plenty of opportunities to move forward.. |
| I want to say live it to the fullest, and have no regrets by the end. So I'll say just that and don't follow what I preach, gg suckas |
| I don't even |
So yeah, come watch TV... or maybe join the NSDAP. Your pick. |
| To be sentient means that you are one of the few organisms able to bestow value on existence. Part of that experience is judging what meaning is and whether the subject of your attention satisfies your definition. By asking others if there is meaning, you are neglecting your own agency as a conscious witness to reality. |
| No, but even if objective meaning could be discovered somehow, nothing would change. People would just do what is in their own interest regardless. So let's try to enjoy what we have and get along, we already struggle enough with this simple task. |

 I can see you |
| its pointless and you cannot seek but create meanings out of it on your own |
| If you believe in the afterlife then I don't think that your life is pointless. From my perspective I think that our current life is a test, let's just stay that someone during his lifetime was a sinner then that means that he didn't pass the test and will be sent to hell. I believe it's something like that, but I always have at the back of my mind that all this, our life, has no meaning whatsoever. |
MyLifeIsAnime9 said: If you believe in the afterlife then I don't think that your life is pointless. But the afterlife is pointless if you don't believe in the afterafterlife, which in turn is pointless without the afterafterafterlife, and so on, but since I suck at induction, I'll leave the rest of it as a homework excercise. Here are some hints though: |
| It depends on our beliefs I think since we have no material proof to judge it properly |
| IM PICKLE RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK |
 |
| There is only one thing that matters in life... Size matters... |
 |
| is there a meaning for this threath when this question has been asked so many times or is it all just pointless? |
 |
| There is no objective meaning to life. But there are plenty of subjective meanings to life you can choose to take to heart. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| I heard from reliable sources that the meaning of life is |
 |
| Life can be a triangle if you want it to be, and triangles are like the strongest shape, I reckon it's good to have a few points, but unfortunately I view life as a circle. |
| It really comes down to your outlook on life. The meaning or no meaning of it all comes down to the person of that life. Personally, I could easily see it as pointless and sometime when I'm down I will but overall I make meaning out of it through friends and family, pets, my own personal goals and doing the things I enjoy like video games, anime and traveling. |
| You make your own meaning. That's what it means to be alive. Screw you nilists |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| no one answered yet "42"? pretty saddening tho that's the only meaning and answer it has |
 |
| No, but since there is no grand meaning to it, you can create your own meaning/purpose in life and pursue that thing. |
 |
| to be neet, have lots of hookers, and watch animu. |
| Yes there is, it is for society to discover, eventually, as much of the multiverse's secrets as possible. You can give meaning to your life by just thinking about these things. |
