I was tempted to answer the question with "A fool and his money are easily parted." , and take the $2 , but then I had a sudden burst of conscience. Merely a temporary aberration, but it earned the questioner another answer from someone a bit less cynical :) willie-ga |

"Life is that property of matter whereby it can remember. Matter which can remember is living; matter which cannot remember is dead. The life of a creature is the memory of a creature. We are all of the same stuff to start with, but we remember different things. As for the stuff itself of which we are made, we know nothing save only that it is 'such as dreams are made of." http://www.wku.edu/~smithch/wallace/S303.htm |

I take the question to be, "What is the purpose of life?" If this is correct, here is my answer. The purpose of life is for "The One Universal Source of All" (as humans, we unfortunately are not capable of understanding this gigantic concept and we give it all kinds of names and shapes) to obtain experiences through individuation, and to subsequently return to the whole. As "the whole" it cannot have these experiences. JCG |

There is no meaning to life. It is merely zillions and zillions of nonthinking particles of matter which just randomly happened to form into you and me who think feel and cry, with no intelligence whatsoever guiding the process. And this computer I'm using was not made by Dell. I found it in a forest after a hurricane went through and randomly rearranged atoms there into a computer. |

It is your one opportunity to write your book. You are born, and you will die; any meaning conceived is up to you. Others may have varying opinions as to what meaning you achieved, but you must give it your best shot or crouch in fear. |
