Re: The Meaning of Life?

You went so much deeper than I intended, but a very profound reply indeed

If I may add, I don't think that a person has to actually be high on something. I think people are perfectly capable of experiencing exaltation from overpowering emotions. In my opinion, this is the best kind of high there is (although there are many I haven't experienced )

The most important being in my life is family. I have lots of times imagined what my life would be like without the people I completely trust and boundlessly love, and my mind draws a complete blank. There is absolutely nothing in this life that I would trade for family, except maybe a trip to outer space, but that'a a totally different topic.

"You must always be high. Everything depends on it: it is the only question. So as not to feel the horrible burden of Time wrecking your back and bending you to the ground, you must get high without respite.

But on what? On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, whatever you like. But get high.

And if sometimes you wake up, on palace steps, on the green grass of a ditch, in your room's gloomy solitude, your intoxication already waning or gone, ask the wind, the waves, the stars, the birds, clocks, ask everything that flees, everything that moans, everything that moves, everything that sings, everything that speaks, ask what time it is. And the wind, the waves, the stars, the birds, clocks, will answer, 'It is time to get high! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get high; get high constantly! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish." - Charles Baudelaire

Re: The Meaning of Life?

Life means different things to different people.

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Re: The Meaning of Life?

There's no right answer when people say whats the meaning of life.
It's how people choose to live there lives that makes a diffrence.

Re: The Meaning of Life?

How you use (and think about) your time in order to enjoy (and perhaps find immortality in) what is ultimately a freefall state towards death.

Re: The Meaning of Life?

To me the minute I held my first and only babe in my arms, I didn't know what a difference and a true joy a new life can bring to a human being. I immediately felt a surge of unknown and uplifting happiness that I'm sure another mother or a loving father can relate to my uplifting happy experience. And right after that, as if I didn't know any life before my child was born. It's a great feeling.
