The point of life is simple -- the point of life is life itself.  What do you think?

If your saing that the point of life is to live and be happy, sure that makes sense.  If your saying the point of life is to give life and make babies, that also makes sense.  If your saying that the point of life is life meaning your alive to be alive and there really is no reason your alive but your here so the reason your here is just to be here...than you might be right but I think thats pushing it.

What if you found out what the point is?  What if you found out the meaning of life? Wuuld you be satisfied?  nope.  You wouldn't.  We are never satisfied.\n\nWe deal with those things because as living creatures is our nature to stay alive.  The the thought of losing a life is usually a lot worse than anything else.

the meaning of life is to ponder the meaning of life.  The catch is if we ever find out the meaning of life all life will end and be replaced by something even more complicated.

LOL\nTo illustrate the point of itself, I guess :)

life is a discovery...of yourself...your desires...your ambitions....your destiny....\n\nand of everything that can ever be....\n\nlife is a melody, a mystery, an expression, a story, a rhythm, a puzzle, a reflection...life is an awareness of the cosmic soul

I believe that the meaning of life is to give it your all. This is the only chance we will ever get. So make the most of it live life with no regrets. Make a difference. Be proud, be happy. Get out there and DO SOMETHING. For yourself and those deserving.

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nAs human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth. \n\nEach of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

I think the meaning of life is enjoying everyday.  Humans do not have all the answers, and there are some things we wouldn't be able to wrap our minds around if we tried.

Yes. I've heard it said that it is easy to live life according  on peoples terms when you're constantly surrounded by people, and it's easy to live by your own terms in solitute, but it is  the great man who, in a crowd, finds the sweetness of solitude. I take that as saying, You be who you truly are through and through, regardless of where you are and who you're around, nonetheless what the situation is. I'd suppose if you really took the time to go off by yourself and find the meanings within your soul of all of life's reasonings on existance and what you're to do here, then yes I'd think in solitude a person could become very great. But life is about balance, and nothing balanced happens instantaneously. It's always gradual. So I supposed if you gradually took time out of your day to do something in solitude your life would, gradually, become more serene peaceful and all around more satisfying. Great Question.

THERE IS NO POINT IN LIVING. That's right, there is no meaning, no aim, and it doesn't end with death. When you die, you won't go to heaven, nor to hell, but you will be born again, instantly. And not to a different life, but to this self-same life, equally aim- and meaningless. There is no escape. The only thing that can justify your life is JOY (the feeling of power).\n\nEDIT:\n\nWhen I wrote the above, I did not know that you were only 12. I was a bit irritated by your question, but perhaps this was by something I read into it. The thing is that I am fed up with people who use the implications of an idea - for instance, that it berefts life of meaning, or that it undermines morality - against the idea itself, e.g., "it must be false, because otherwise life would have no meaning", or "because otherwise there would be no responsibility". These are emotional arguments - arguments that apply to one's "humaneness". But I have repudiated humaneness. - Man is something that must be overcome.\n\nEDIT 2:\n\nAs for the procreation question, I tend to symbolise this with the Indian reincarnation theory. Procreation is reincarnation in the literal sense, as the parents' genes "become flesh again" (this is the literal meaning of "reincarnation") in their child(ren). This is rebirth in the literal sense. In India, however, the goal of such rebirths is to eventually produce a child who does not need to procreate because it is self-realised: "What is the point of offspring to him whose soul is the world?" This child, who is the goal of the reincarnation process, does not, like his ancestors, posit the goal of his life *beyond* himself; his goal is the joyful affirmation of himself, and thereby, of existence itself. He is the link that justifies the whole chain. I believe that Jesus - the real, historical Jesus, who I believe was Julius Caesar - was such a justification of existence. This is, I believe, the psychological reason why he was posited as a *goal* for other people to strive for: so that they could, eventually, in the course of many generations, produce a child who would likewise justify existence.

We are the accidental products of unthinking natural processes, and therefore the meaning and purpose of life can be anything we choose.  For myself, I didn't choose to exist, but now I'm here I want to enjoy life, bring up my kids well, leave the world a slightly better place than when I joined it, and die having no major regrets about what I have or haven't done in my life.

To know the meaning of life, you must know the meaning of death.\n\nUntil you have died, you cannot know the answer.

Life only once and short, I don't think too much about the definition of life because  how we live for our own life writes the history and definition. I choose enjoy my life. To enjoy life comes with so many ways. The summary of happiness I experience is sharing happiness, achieve dreams and help people. Best Wish

Hello,\nThis is a quite simple question to answer, but a quite difficult answer to accept. There is no purpose. Life simply is. We are the successful (by)product of the reproductive fitness of our ancestors and chance. \n\nAccepting that life simply is and that there is no great thrust or drive toward progress or perfectability makes many people very anxious. \n\nAngst, the best term derived from German, to describe this individual anxiety; existentialism, the largely French school of thought typified by Camus and Sartre (as well as others), tries to exemplify individual human happiness in the face of the purposelessness of individual existence and in light of the fact that the universe has no meaning. \n\nIf you find my response depressing, I recommend the Douglas Adams classic "The Hitchiker's Galaxy" in which he comically portrayed the absurdity of life in a myriad of possibile worlds.\n\nAlex
