18 Answers Hello AMHD.
I think that it would be interesting to see what people think about the meaning of life. I think that the meaning of life is to do what makes you happy while making others happy along the way as well, and doing your best to be a good person. Also to make it more interesting please state why you think you have this philosophy.
Thanks for sharing! Thread Summary |

| | | Hello C:
Meaning of life? To who? You think somebody is judging? Who do you have to please other than yourself?
Me? I don't think life MEANS anything. Oh, I think there's a PURPOSE for us to be here, and that's to propagate. But, there's no meaning in that, any more than there is meaning when trees propagate.

| | | Life is for living every possible experience that you can, gaining knowledge from that experience, whether it be good or bad and learning from it.
Life is a learning curve, for things to come after.....otherwise what would be the point. | | |  | New Member | |

Additionally, I would add that life expands and retracts and is constantly changing, and so it is only natural to accept everything and not reject what makes us feel uncomfortable.
If we control ever aspect of our life we limit ourselves. It doesn't mean let go of the oars in the middle of a raging river, but learn to navigate it well and your much more likely to have a enjoyable journey despite what happens along the way. (imho) | | |  | Junior Member | |

| | | I feel that the meaning of my life is to be truly good, (make people happy, be kind to everyone, have no hidden bad intentions with people, take all the negativity everybody gives me and not be influenced by it at all and not to react in a negative way to it..I.e if somebody ignores me on purpose for no reason or if somebody isn't "good" to me for some reason that my intentions didn't influence, I isn't going to name EVERY deed I think is good but you get my idea I hope) after I can make this my personality and learn to be totally confident with it....then I can die...whatever age I am, young or old. I will feel full and happy with all the good deeds I did in my life so then can truly let go and die being proud of myself. Iv been thinking about this recently and all I need to do now is to tweek a few more things to do with my reactions to bad interactions and thoughts then learn to be confident with myself.  I forgot to add that I have to accomplish one of my hobbies to a decent enough level. I.e. Produce a track I am truly happy with
So I guess the meaning of my life is to become free from negativity and to free my soul. To be truly happy | | |  | New Member | |

| | | My philosophy is what I call Expiritualism, which means that all experiences are made by choice. Your experiences are your choice, and yours alone! I believe this from personal experience. No pun intended, but funny no-less.
If you know in your heart what you want, but you choose to ignore it, then you make your own failed-experience. If you choose to think that life is unfair, then you create unfair experiences. It is easier to change an experience, than it is to change a belief! | | |  | Senior Member | |
