This isn't about the meaning of life, for this thread at least please don't get rapped up in whether there's a God or no God. Or which god is the true god.

This is about what we do with our life and why.

I've been thinking about it lately and I've come to some what of a conclusion I think the purpose that drives all of us is first survival. And then are you ready? To entertain ourself's. Why are you on this site? To entertain yourself. Why do you watch TV to entertain yourself. Why do you go to school? Because apparently something there entertains you OR the ultimate reason would be to get a better more entertaining job. While the direct reason of doing something might not be entertainment the real reason is to entertain yourself.

Your thoughts?

My purpose of life is to have as much fun as possible

I disagree. The motivation for everything is not entertainment. I dislike eating vegetables, it does not provide me any enjoyment or entertainment whatsoever. The direct reason is not entertainment, and the REAL reason is not entertainment.

You misread my post I said survival and entertainment, also if you dislike eating them why do you? To become more fit so you can get more girls and do more activities, i.e. for entertainment?

You eat vegetables cuz you remain healthy, live longer, and can have more fun that way (or your mom forces you)

the purpose of life is to pass on your genes to insure your species survives

First I already said survival was foremost, second that's a bit more related to the meaning than the purpose don't you think.

life has no meaning, only purpose

can the purpose really have entertainment values? reptiles do not have emotions so i wouldn't expect them to find happiness

the answer to life is 42 :]

Well being Chrisitan I disagree but off topic.

Should have said human purpose.

Because apparently something there entertains you OR the ultimate reason would be to get a better more entertaining job.


Or because society requires it of us. If we don't go to school we'll be viewed as useless.

I've made a thread like this before, got some good answers, and some stupid ones, lol. Ultimately I say there is no purpose for life. We're just here, so we might as well make the best of it.

still the purpose of any living thing would be survival, i think humans defy/screw up natural selection

entertainment is an aspect of life, not the purpose

Well I still think entertainment is a driving force of life maybe even one of the purposes.

I could swear the meaning of life was 43. Well, maybe I heard wrong. Isnt ironic, how much of our life, we waste questioning it. Its there, do something about it. Have fun, and then survive.
