Im not, I know there is a goal in life, but it can be altered, and changed by the decisions i make today.
I believe by taking things seriously all the time, games... small insignificant events can help prevent people who cant see the big picture from making minor mistakes in the future.
I believe in influencing others, every minor step you take, every minor decision alters your life, and the life of all around you.
I believe that if it's your time it's your time, however.. I also think you can postpone, and even reverse that effect by taking the life of the person trying to take your life.
It gets complicated.. but i think its best not to pay much attention unless you get that eerie feeling. at that time you should take a step back and assess all possible choices.

thats not a meaning in life, thats an inevitable end.
please, think the question through and then answer it, and if that was your serious answer you need help. | |
He did answer the question. The subject line is "Are you a fatalist?", and that statement sounds pretty darn fatalistic to me! =P

The meaning of life, just as every other obfuscated theoretical half-assed question that aims to be unanswerable, is exactly what you want it to be. It's your life, what its purpose or meaning is, is entirely up to you.
Well, thats my biased opinion anyways. Im pretty sure the reason I continue to live has nothing at all to do with preparing for death. | |
Then why do we aspire to spend our time alive as best we can. If our meaning was to merely die then why dont we just keel over now?

No no no you misunderstood what I meant. I meant that the reason I am living is to prepare for heaven. Most religions do believe in a higher place. But the purpose is to clense yourself and be prepared for heaven which is pretty much death. Death really isnt as bad as the world thinks it to be. You go to a better place if you were good. And sometimes a worse form/place if you were bad.

He said that the meaning of life is "to prepare for death", not "to die." And I think it's a pretty good answer, if vague--not that the alternative answer given is all that precise, either, although the two of them are actually pretty similar. Think of where (in the big-picture sense) and what you want to be before you die, and what you need to or want to do to get that far--that is how you would prepare for death.
