do you think we will ever find out the meaning of life or do you think we are dumed to live life never knowing what it all means?

my Partner is talking to me about metafisics :confused:

[Sam]

No we will not, to answer that you will need to know if space is indefinite, if so what is out there - if not...

[Timsk]

I heard it was phortey-too...

I think you will be given all the answers when you die - when you move on to a different plain: if you had them whilst you were living, there would be no point to being here.

I never believe we are here for nothing. I'll never believe that - ever.

[E*F*4L]

we are tiny in the big picture, & it really depends on if you believe in extra-dimensional-universes & string theory.

we are no different to another living organism on this planet or another, we are just a collection of atoms & stardust & when we die we just die & thats it, we don't go off to 'some special place' the meaning of life is simple;

live your life, as you only get one shot at making a difference & achieving the ultimate goal which is becoming immortal in name as that is the only way you can truly live for ever.

OMG, you sound just like someone I used to argue with on other forums about life/the universe.

What about reincarnation? People who are here now who know stuff about previous lives that they can't possibly know.

what about mediums? There are some excellent ones I have been to who have been able to tell me stuff that couldn't possibly have been known to them.

this is not a argument, but a discussion

reincarnation, well surly there would have to be a finite amount of people then or it wouldn't work & they know stuff about previous lives who's lives ?

mediums, where is the actual proof ? if they do know all this stuff they wouldn't need to go about charging people as they would already be billionaires & it's all just conjecture anyway just like the horoscopes you can get anything in your daily life to fit into what is said in the days horoscope & all the diffrent ones are the same just worded differently.

[Ryan16]

i think that the meaning of life is making a meaning for your life and then living it.

[Nik B.]

There is no meaning to life. Instead, you fill the empty hole where a goal in life should be, by filling it with our own.

[Rob]

I think we shouldn't think about- we should enjoy our time here

[phoenix]

The meaning of life is to learn.

Yep.

Thats what I think anyway.

[Andy B]

The meaning of life? It's nothing special really.

Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in and try and live in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

[Behelzebub]

It's 42 as the late great Douglas Adams said, end of story

Reincarnation: I was watching a programme recently about a young lad who claimed he had previously died in an aircrash. He was able to accurately describe the area, and what had happened to him. No young child could simply just do that.

Mediums: I was at an excellent one who told me exactly when my aunt had died, and all sorts of other stuff she couldn't possibly have known. You can't explain the inexplicable. There's a lot of fake mediums out there, but some great ones too.

[Guest]

The pursuit of the meaning of life is a futile gesture.

Sadly your parter won't find the answer
