Is there meaning in life?

[LittleBabyNothing]

Life is just an attempt to find order in disorganisation.

Only in death can true order be found.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

I would describe myself as a disorganized and meaningless person

It may have a meaning, but not for us. We may only be a means to an end and have to resign ourselves to accepting it.

i don't think any of us are meaningless. Our every action has consequence whether noticed or not.
But the disorder keeps us from seeing and embracing any true meaning in this world.

i'm too reflectful today, someone shut me up.

Those that it for, are they on the same level as us like the 0.01% who control the rest of the human specie or something greater?
i hope for something greater, mice maybe

it's ok to be reflective

The meaning of life can be looked at on an individual level or the human race in general. On an individual level only you can answer that. However the human race in general.... Whatever it is, I have a feeling we're failing at it.

I like to think that we are part of a system, like the cells of our body, and that there is nothing or no one who cares about us as individuals or maybe there's something that create us but they aren't aware of our existence.

y got it , DEATH is the only truth and justice .
its the only perfect thing we can find our peace in .

The way i see it we are just a part of the universe. Just some biological chemical reaction. We just have brains thats the only thing that set us apart from sand and steel etc

If there is, it should be understood when we die because living makes no sense.

If there is not, I don't understand why the universe and us were created! Just WTF! How can something come from nothing? You know, a big explosion created the universe but where did that explosion come from? What's the point "zero"? I wanna know! I think sooner or later humans might get closer to the answer! Just some thousands of years ago, people believed that the Sun was a God lol. I guess there's been some progress!

Life has no meaning. We are just here to make babies and secure the next generation so that the species doesn't go extinct. That's literally all.

i like that idea, makes sense with the size of our galaxy alone. We're quite a small part to be significant beyond just existing.

For many of us, those of us that find ourselves on a forum such as SS. But i've met many who find peace in life, i envy them but accept i won't. my peace i believe will come with death.

i used to think like this, my mind is too exhausted from life to think deep anymore. Maybe if i could muster some curiousity to explore and discover again i could find a reason to want a tomorrow... nah i'm just too tired

Well i ain't ever having kids so i might as well get on and catch the bus to the last stop

I think death is not death as we assume. it is the opening of a new beginning, of a new existence, which hopefully, is much better than that on earth.

but I think the karmic aspect is to be considered in this step, even through a suicide, I think this is forgiven. I know some really good misunderstood people with hypersensitivity who have committed suicide but been good all their lives.

I imagine that now their soul is in a much better existence and that they deserve.

It's all random bullshit.

i used to hope for this, believed quite strongly that it could be because it is what i would like most. i'm not certain there is anything after this life, but i'm not certain there isn't. If there is i'm not sure i'd want it, not if i'm still me. i am ready to just not exist in any sense.

I think there is a fair balance, reincarnation seems logical to me in a way, all religions talk about reincarnation but differently, I think that depending on the good or bad things we have done (Buddhism starts from this logic) this will have consequences in the afterlife, reincarnation in a higher spiritual world, or the world of insects, animals, etc...

Nothing deeper than what our biology dictates

 

[profoundexperience]

All this is my conclusion, my humble opinion, based on decades of personal contemplation...

1. Life does have an inherent point/meaning/purpose from a biochemical/evolutionary perspective... and that is survival/reproduction (of an individual to some extent, and more importantly of one's genes). But, this is in no way a good/sane/moral/rational purpose. Survival/reproduction of course includes all the emotions and urges built-in to our physiology and psychology. Even our supremely valued emotion of "love" (in all it's forms) exists for very specific evolutionary reasons/pay-offs... just as hunger and thirst and sexual lust do.
2. When it comes to the purpose of an individual human being, we were "brought into being" for a very definite purpose... and that is to service the needs of other people (as others exist to service our needs). But again, imho, this is in no way a good/sane/moral purpose (in-and-of itself = a gigantic web of mutual need... a worldwide multi-level-marketing scheme is the epitome of evil, imho).
3. People often say "Life has no purpose... so you need make up your own." To me, that's absolutely unacceptable... reprehensible even. That means that I should allow myself to be forced by society/family/the economy to perpetuate my life/suffering for a made-up purpose?!?

Beyond those, I can find no other purposes (unless and until one starts imagining gods existing)... and that means no other good purposes whatsoever.
