- - The meaning of life..? (http://www.fiestafan.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7661)

For me the meaning of life is: to live.

I don't see any purpose behind life, it just exist. With a deep will of continuing that existence, no matter the cost.

Life actually dont have a meaning. But we might pick up something interesting on our way during life. It's just to enjoy it, maybe?

I live just to live o-o

But like Omie said, there's certain things you might want to do if you want to live ... xD

All Hail Buddhist Monks in Exile :D!

Let's all be happy ^^

No...srsly. Happy.

@ Sinto:

If Life doesn't have meaning, then why do we choose to live? As a human, wouldn't we give our own life meaning? That thing we "pick up" on a journey through life would give us a new 'will' to live. Still, the end result would be enjoyment, at the same time, you can't know happiness without sadness...

Life - Love - Learn - Laugh

The true meaning of life is more than just to "live". It is to love, learn and laugh.

Love, love at different levels with the different people in your life. Love your neighbor in kindness. Love your family in your heart. And love your soul-mate with all your heart & soul. Even love your enemies, to a much lesser degree of course, but love them because their actions toward you evokes responses from you that help you grow in mind and spirit.

Learn, learn as much as you can because with knowledge comes confidence. Knowledge also helps to gain financial stability, and while some say "Money can't buy happiness", I beg to differ. Depending on how you use that financial worth can buy happiness. If I had the ability to fund resources and equipment for third world countries and could affect the quality of life for thousands of children born into poverty I would do just that and that would make me so happy. My money would have bought that happiness. So learn to better your own position and use that position to achieve those things that do make you happy.

Laugh, laugh as much as possible because laughter is the best medicine. In the last few decades, researchers have studied laughter's effects on the body and turned up some potentially interesting information on how it affects us:

Quote:

Blood flow. Researchers at the University of Maryland studied the effects on blood vessels when people were shown either comedies or dramas. After the screening, the blood vessels of the group who watched the comedy behaved normally â€” expanding and contracting easily. But the blood vessels in people who watched the drama tended to tense up, restricting blood flow.

Immune response. Increased stress is associated with decreased immune system response, says Provine. Some studies have shown that the ability to use humor may raise the level of infection-fighting antibodies in the body and boost the levels of immune cells, as well.

Blood sugar levels. One study of 19 people with diabetes looked at the effects of laughter on blood sugar levels. After eating, the group attended a tedious lecture. On the next day, the group ate the same meal and then watched a comedy. After the comedy, the group had lower blood sugar levels than they did after the lecture.

So laugh and make others laugh.

Life - Love - Learn - Laugh

The meaning of life is what you make it. That is why we are all different. That is why we control our own actions.
If you want to go through life being happy, then you choose this path and you do things that make you happy and you look for all the positives.
If you want to go through life with your ass on your shoulders, then you choose that path and you do everything in your power to find the negatives in everything.
The meaning of life is different for all of us. There is no one true meaning of life. But, it is what you do with your life that gives it meaning.

Loki u so kewl.

I can love and laugh but I'm not so sure about learning.

<-- biggest procrastinator ever in school~

As for my view.. never really thought about. My mind is not deep enough to think of a question as meaningful as that. Just as long as I (and my friends and family) are happy then that's all. Haven't really put much thought into it. There's too many meanings, I reckon. xD
