what is the meaning of life?

Not again.

Sheesh..........

LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in
daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The
question, "Is life worth living?" has been much discussed;
particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written
at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of
the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of
successful controversy.

Hey political guru and steph53. I enjoyed my answer, so you losers
need to stop making negative comments and get a life yourself. My
guess is that you are fat guys who cant get girls and need to read
other peoples google postings, pathetic really.

Hi Seattle,

First of all I'm sorry I may have offended you. Its just that there
have been so many questions identical to yours on this forum. Here is
a link to one of many:

And FYI, I am NOT a fat guy looking for girls.... :)

42   (6 x 9)

In hitchhicker's guide to the galaxy they gave the meaning of life as
42. If you turn that upside down you get "2b" or "to be".  So the
meaning of life is "to be".  But you may ask "Whats the meaning of
42?" again, according to hitchicker's guide to the galaxy, it's 6 x 9
(which is only equal to 42 if you look at it in base-13). Thus we turn
this upside down and achieve 6 x 9.

Old Doug really knew how to screw with peoples minds.

steph 53, apology accepted. This service is new to me and I was so
excited to post a question then I got shot down by the first 2
comments. I guess Im not very original, oh well. I've learned my
lesson and wont be posting any more questions again as to not
embarrass myself.

Im sure your hot and with boyfriend...

Dear Seattle...

Please do not be *fed up* with this GA community yet...
Give it a chance. I, myself, have posted many questions and comments
as well.I've been here since June 2002. If you need proof just go to
GA home page and type in my nic...

Everyone here is wonderful and helpful. Please don't stop posting a
question or a comment just because of my/our comments.

And,FYI... lol... I *may* be hot but I'm home alone this cold Sunday night :(

Stick around, post a few questions and comments ( they are free
)...Its a fun/ Caring website.

Hey, seattle12345678910,

Here's a hint.  You can search G**gle Answers for questions that have
already been asked on a subject.  I'm afraid that one has been asked a
lot, especially lately.  So you could cancel this one and save your
$2.00, because earlier answers will probably do as well as any you'd
get now.

After you've lurked for a while and maybe added comments to a few
other questions, give it another try.  Especially when you have a
question that can actually be answered by research--research that
takes some skill to do--GA can't be beat.

Hi, seattle12345678910-ga

One thing's for sure, you won't find it in Seattle.

Funnily enough all the previous questions on this topic also came from Seattle.

So, I guess the answer is to move on ...

Why not try Baghdad?

Dear Seattle, 

I really apologise for my comment, which was - as Steph said, a
byproduct of us having about 32 versions of the same question.

BTW - What's so wrong with being fat? Why do you feel you need to insult?

Seattle12345678910-ga,

This apologising back and forth is getting boring.

You probably should have looked up some of the previous answers to the
meaning of life but heck, its good to see this question pop up again
once in a while.  Keeps it up the top and gets some new views that
probably wouldn't be put in a single page that was already crowded
with hundreds of comments.

Presuming you are asking the question with reference to "your" life..I believe
the meaning of life is the life itself! Finding the meaning for
anything implies that you have to have some context for defining the
meaning in the context of and since your life is the overall context,
you live life  and that is  the meaning of it.
As a more general question in terms of humanity as a whole, I think it
is a physical irreversible process which the whole humanity
collectively interprets in different fashion and we call it life. May
be you can google some more you will find it :-)
