The meaning of life, the universe and everything …

...
...

I'm about to get all philosophical on your a55!!

...
...

When you look at it, what’s the point? We are born, we live for a few years, we breed (or at least that is the idea ) we live a few more, then we die … so what??!?!

If ‘life’ didn’t exist, what does it matter?

If you can convince me why it does I'd be surprised

p.s. this is a philosophical discussion, not a sign I want to jump off a bridge ... its just something that I keep arriving at when people go on about disasters, global warming, war, disease and famine etc ... I just tend to think ... "Hell, just let us all die out ... in the big scheme of things, so what?!?!"

There is no point.

Don't mean you can't have a life filled with lots of laughter and lots of love.

Oh and wring the nuts off your bike once in a while.

Aside from passing on the genes, I agree with Tiger.

Live and enjoy living.

We will die out eventually. This is just mankinds moment in the sun. The dinosaurs had their day, but in the end their time passed. Compared to them we've only been around for a very short while, but something will get us all sooner or later and then ****roaches will rule the earth

If by 'life' you mean humanity specifically as opposed to living things in general...

... it only matters because we are capable of thinking it does.

ok, so I am not asking what should one make of life, more what is the point of life? ... if it didn't exist, what difference would it make?!?! Why do we put so much importance on there being life??

The answer lies within your own question my friend...

The point of life is to make something of it... And therein lies the level of importance...the greater the importance the more relevance your life will have. But the less importance you attach...well...why bother weighing the anchor?

We're only here for a short time - lets make the best of it and perhaps help others to see better things whilst we're at it.

I recall my ex wife asking me one time a similar question...maybe that's why she's my ex...she just didn't get it...thought something that didn't exist was going to come along and wave its magic wand...yeh right. But that's all another place & another time. This is the now...and stuff's Rosey...
