Friends,

          every one lives in a castle of  subjectivity. every one should explain the world as they see it! every culture and religion has tried to answer the question, 'what is the meaning of life?'

         I dont know the meaning of my life, because i dont know what  is meant by meaning! if meaning means a life predestined and already decided, i dont believe in it. i believe our life is an accidence just as is the growth of mushrooms on the ground after the rain. we dont know what is before birth and cant know what is after death. i believe when i die, the memories that make me nisar will  fade away because after death the brain gets no oxygen and no blood. i do not want to give myself any delusions that a better life awaits me some where else. im satisfied with the present opportunity i have of living. i hold no ultimate explanation for why i live, the only little that i can say is that i want to utilize all opportunities of making my life better and more enjoyable. and the other thing  that i want to do is to write my feelings and thoughts in words so that any other person (even though one in millions) who feels as i feel can have the comfort that there is a person who felt very nearly the same as they feel now.

       this is the meaning of  my life!

no great expectations, no regrets over the temporariness of human life!

i would like to know what do other friends on TCP say about what is the meaning of their lives!

well i can not dictate meaning of life for others. meaning is a subjective question?

after death? well this question can not be answered, because questions like these have more answers than can satisfy any one!

but tell me what is the meaning of life? for a person, whose home is destroyed in an earth quake, his whole family dies and he does not have enough money to pass  his life!

i  think there is no officially prescribed meaning for every one! if our material needs are amply satisfied, we name it meaning!

but even today millions of people live under poverty line and yearn for food?

i wonder what is the meaning of life for them?

For me:

L - Love

I - Intelligence

F - Faithful and Fruitful

E - Enjoyment

May be life is full of above ideally..but it reality is being experienced by every living being on the earth.

I think that people who believe in a higher power (whether you call it "God" or "the Great Spirit" or "Allah" or something else) will have a different answer, in general, than those who think that "this" is all there is.

Perhaps it is your language skills, but I don't like to be called "a fool" because I believe in God.

So I choose not to continue this conversation.
