Saracen 16 Posted August 17, 2005 I thought I'd take a different road in a topic and explore some philosophy... This topic is simple.. what do you believe the meaning of life to be?? Be sensible here.. I want a serious, honest and interesting discussion please. Share this post Link to post
Guest Rabbit Posted August 17, 2005 I believe the meaning of life is just like every animal's life. Just to live. I think we have no meaning, we just happen to live here and we have to deal with what life throws at us... Share this post Link to post

J-Fire_Man 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Well, I have a weird theory about live. This is all because...why people move. Why I'm is me? I sometimes think that this world is jsut bunch of integrated dynamic codes. That this world was made by a psychotic programmer, and the programmer made me perfectly to think and evolute by itself and all of the environments around me including people, animal, plants, etc are just codes with many events. So, the reason why i was made is to appease the programmer or show it to his friends that he can make a very complex dynamic application. Well...that's one of my stupid theory, but the more I know programming, the more possible it's. It's kinda ridicolous though... Share this post Link to post
Masked Shah 5 Posted August 19, 2005 Watch Neo Gensis Evangelion, Inside the anime lurks cryptic messages... and double meanings... I had to push my religious, pychological, historical knowledge to the brink... by the shows end everything was hard to understand... but then became so easy to hold on to.... Weta works (the same people who did lord of the rings) is making a live action movie of Evangelion... Several suicidal people in Japan and America, the show stop them from killing themselves... I believe this show has the power to change lives... by the time it's done... you're like..... sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.... Share this post Link to post

Masked Shah 5 Posted August 20, 2005 As Anno Hideki would present these facts: FATE OR FREE WILL? -They CAN NOT exist at same time, the statement of total free will is freedom from the control of a God or fate. -Fate is the absolute control or partial control over someone by God or higher being, so that person(under control) has no free will at all. So both can not exist at same time. So what DO YOU believe? IF YOU CHOSEN FATE...THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO YOU -You don't have to worry about "what is" or "who you are" because it's been decided for you. -You have a destiny for better or for worse, you can never run from it... but at same time you can never know what it is... and if you did... you still wouldn't be able to change it. -If you do wicked or good things, they were pre-planned into your life. You may think you have say, but you actually don't. -The ultimate meaning of life may not be clear to you, but it has been defined and written in stone.... your fate is sealed, and discovering it may do nothing to change it. Safety would be a God's mind set to allow this to happen, but leaves an unanswered question... Why does evil and misery exist in our world? God or other elements come into play, and the game of life "is in play/has been in play/was in play/ continues in play" but with no real surprises for a God if there is one.... IF YOU CHOSEN FREE WILL...THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO YOU -Because your life is blank paper, you have freedom to paint it how ever you wish for better or worse. -This believe would help explain "evil" and why it is a chosen path people take to instant gratification. -The meaning of life is what one makes it to be... EXAMPLE: If you believe you exist to help others, that's what your here for.... but on the same note... If you believe you exist to steal, kill, destroy, and that's what your here for... This is grim but would explain the misery of world. In a sense, we are our worst enemies... We are the ones who inflict world hunger and war... and godlike creatures like the Devil or God (if they exist) have no say in matter. Fate and free will is one question of many.... like, what is suffering? The western view (Good vs evil) of the concept and the eastern part(desire vs wisdom). I can also explain Socrates theory about "god". Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted August 21, 2005 To me believing in fate is like a coup out.. Cause you're basically just giving up and accepting that what is happening to you is out of your control.... I mean if you believe in fate then what is the point of living? If its all pre-destined... Share this post Link to post
J-Fire_Man 0 Posted August 21, 2005 Some fate can be changed, some can not. It depends on your action. If you're lazy, then I guess your fate is to suffer in the world Share this post Link to post
Guest Rabbit Posted August 21, 2005 I liked that Idea masked shah... but, what if you are one of those people who believes in free will, yet go crazy reading their horoscope? They believe in free will, and they think that stars control them... Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted August 21, 2005 As Anno Hideki would present these facts:-Fate is the absolute control or partial control over someone by God or higher being, so that person(under control) has no free will at all. I don't like this idea. This gives people an excuse to be complete dunces in life. Fate is meaningless drivvel. Everyone has free will and if people choose ignore that, fine, let him f**k his life up. Share this post Link to post

I don't like this idea. This gives people an excuse to be complete dunces in life. Fate is meaningless drivvel. Everyone has free will and if people choose ignore that, fine, let him f**k his life up. I presented two concepts, and explained why fate and free will can't exist at same time... In truth Anno and I believe in free will, just like u Fenring... Yes, free will would explain the wicked things in world... but according to Anno if you say you're here to bring misery and destruction.... then whos to say you are not..... meaning of life for Anno is whatever you chose it to be... I'm here to eat waffles in druken state, but IHOP hinders that... that is my meaning of life.... thanks to free will.... blame God for free will... I will present another reasoning of the meaning of life, just gimme moment to gather my info into order.... History and religion are my hobbies... so philosophy just flops into my lap every now and then.... Share this post Link to post
