The Meaning Of Life

It isn't the answer, it's the question that's important. It's consideration is what really matters.

I don't know Mason, you're going awfully deep here.....LOL. 

It's not your usual MO. 

It's kind of scary.  :ninja:

Definitely the question that's important. When the answer is known, you might as well lie down and wait for the end. No fun anymore :)

Or..it isn't the destination that's important, it's the journey.

The meaning of life:

21 + 21 = 42

There you go, now don't ya all feel silly - it's that simple. ^_^ ;) :p

Seriously though...hmm. I think the question shouldn't be "What is the meaning in life," but:

What is my meaning in life? What meaning can I find? What meaning can I "give" others (i.e. How can i help others help themselves, and grow)?

Personally, I think my meaning - or purpose - is to help others. Lately, while I love art fromt he top of my head to the end of my toes - I have found myself drawn more and more to charity and volunteer work; I've seriously considered volunteering overseas in Africa and have looked into opportunities. 

So, in a sense of the question - what is my meaning (purpose) in life? Honestly? I think it's to be a good person and help others. To be kind to others and help others.

Though, I think Albert Camus had a point when he said "we humans are creatures who spend our lives trying to convince ourselves that our existence is not absurd."

It is in the pondering that we discover ourselves.

I wonder what Multivac would say?

I had almost forgotten that story.  It is a classic!
