How about we think about the beginning of the universe? It's very interesting:smile01: And the meaning of life is to live. To live, enjoy life, and be happy.

People, you're thinking about the wrong thing! To determine the meaning of life, you need to understand what LIFE is!

Everyone searches for the meaning of life when they have a lot of free time and start "burdening" themselves with eternal questions that have **no definitive answer**, such as "Who is to blame?" and "What should we do?". Therefore, it's necessary to occupy oneself with a pleasant activity, such as playing Heroes, etc., but the activity must bring satisfaction, and then all the "eternal" questions will not bother you!!! :smile02: :smile09:

This is a rhetorical question. Everyone has their own meaning of life, and many are not even aware of it.

In short, enough guessing, I'll tell you everything as it really is....in general, all of humanity has only one main purpose: to reproduce, which is related to the instinctive desire to preserve its genes and comes from deep within time......but as a person develops, they move further away from their natural roots, and for some, the reproductive purpose takes a back seat, and a more ambitious purpose in life comes to the fore, such as leaving a mark on the world. For example, when studying the biographies of outstanding people, it was concluded that Newton, Paganini, and others were driven by the desire to leave a memory of themselves so that they would not be forgotten, to immortalize their name (I don't remember the exact list, it was a long time ago when I was told about it, when I was in university). There is also one test, it is a bit tedious, but quite representative (meaning truthful): take a sheet of paper, write any question at the top, for example: Why play Heroes?, and then draw arrows down and answer this question, there should be a maximum number of answers that you can come up with, for example, one of the answers: to get pleasure. Then you need to form a question from the answers, as many questions as there were answers, and that's it. That is, why get pleasure, we answer all the questions, then according to the scheme further, if the answers coincide with the ones already received, then we close the branch with an arrow, and so after a long struggle, in the end, when only one answer remains, from which it will be impossible to correctly make a question, the test will be considered passed, and the last answer will be your meaning of life.

Ada, but a person is not an animal, so the meaning of his life is not in reproduction. Although there is some truth in this. However, in my opinion, life without love is just a fart without a smell, as is death.

This is a rhetorical question. Everyone has their own meaning in life, and many don't even suspect it.

Vsadnitsa, I respect that. Once I held the same opinion.

Wiz, what about the phrase from the Bible: "Be fruitful and multiply"? This is precisely the meaning of life that Jehovah intended for humanity. Hindus approach the question of the meaning of life as follows: The meaning of human life is to feed the gods; the meaning of the life of demons is to torment people; the meaning of the life of gods is to fight demons. And further down the hierarchy, each varna has its own meaning of life. Personally, I believe that the meaning lies in life itself. Life should be lived in such a way that you don't regret wasting it later!!!

"Be fruitful and multiply" - I don't remember where this was said, but in my opinion, it's just an encouraging instruction, and Jesus himself said: "Love your neighbor, for... see the signature;))

The meaning of life:
1. Find the meaning of life.
2. Find true love, having gone through hundreds of false ones.
3. Live long enough to find love and discover the meaning of life.

1. Exactly.
2. Forget it.
3. Hooray! We live forever! :smile01:

Or maybe the meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life?

And what will happen if you find that meaning? Is life over?:confused:

Personally, the meaning of my life consists of three things, in order of importance (i.e., the first is the most important): 1) To live a life that I won't be ashamed of. 2) To become the person I've always wanted to be... 3) To achieve success in equestrian sports... There are also 4, 5, 6,.... but they are not as important. But honestly... I probably still don't know the meaning of my life...

It depends on what you consider the meaning of life to be.

Announcement:
Lost the meaning of life. Distinctive features: something incomprehensible, shapeless, and transparent. Responds to the words: "How does this thing work?" and "Who even came up with all this?". Whoever finds it can keep it; I don't need it anyway.
But seriously: how do you imagine searching for the meaning of life?

For me, the meaning of life is to bring good, benefit, truth, and happiness to people around me. After all, if you are surrounded by happy and kind people, you yourself become happy.
