Smoke and Mirrors
Lately I've kind of been slowly coming to the strange realization that my life really is bizarre...but not in big cosmic ways. It's on a much smaller scale - the tricks are all smoke and mirrors.
The Meaning of Life
Quite the question of the day, no?

Not quite as heavy/deep as it seems, I promise.

Anwho, I was just wondering. After a slightly long/random PM with Spacial Pirate, here is my question - what is the meaning of life? And also, does death make life pointless? It's confusing. Weird. Bizzaro - I mean, what's the point of sticking around if we're just going to kick it later on? Eventually, we'll all be forgotten. Not very many people ever really know the true us. And it's just kind of...weird.

So what's the deal with why we're here? Just my random question. Quite broad/vague, so I'm pretty much open to anything. You can get all religious on me, or all hippie "it's the universe, man"-ish, or just add your two cents. I honestly don't care what your response is - serious or joking, deep or lighthearted - so much as you don't swear profusely. Yes.

So. Meaning of life. Discuss.

(oh. and also, one of my favorite answers to this comes from the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. They claim the Answer is 42, but that doesn't matter - it's really the Question you're after)

I like that quote too! And I swear to God I was just talking about this to a friend, cool! I guess it would ultimately be to better oneself but it's
like a freepass you are here no matter what you choose to do with the opportunity but as for me I intend not to just make the best of it but have the most fun!!!!!!!!! heart

I personally don't think anyone should take life too seriously... after all, no one gets out alive anyways.

No, but seriously; people really do need to lighten up and relax once in a while. I personally believe that the meaning of life is to learn from it. And it's hard to do that when you're up to your ears in it and developing an ulcer.
