Oh well, found Jian Wei saying something about the meaning of life on his blog, so I'll just throw in my 2 cents worth on the topic as well. Heh.. I just feel obliged to at least blog something to keep my blog alive, but I've been so tired and lazy recently...Ok, here goes nothing....
The meaning of life is....... what you make it out to be!! yay... anticlimatic. Haha, but seriously, there is no point in searching for the meaning of life. Asking questions like "Why are we here?" "What is our purpose?" is unlikely to yield any correct answers unless you believe in a religion or something. But in this case, fact would be based on belief and for the rest who do not have that belief, the answers given might not go down well with them.
Besides, knowing the reason for our existence as members of the human race or simply a living organism isn't going to make much difference. The general world population has a common set of ideals and morals which trascend all boundaries, but yet this common knowledge of what should be done is not carried out by all individauls simply due to the existence of selfishness in human nature. So what if the purpose of our existence turns out to be providing aid to the needy or making the world a better place to live in? Is the world likely to cease all it's damaging activities? I doubt so. Take the US stance on the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emmisions for example.
So to put it crudely, what the heck man, ask less questions, do more.. Life is short and it sucks. People in Japan can expect to live up to 85 or 86 while people in South Africa or something can only live up to about 50, so yea, it's a cold unfair world and there's pretty much nothingthat can be done about it.
Just live your life the way you want to. Do what you want to, do what you need to, do what you think you should do. Reflect along the way and someday, the answers'll come your way.
Assuming your morals are there that is...
