whatever happens in our life is not important in the cosmic level.whatever happens in your life the universe is going to be much the same.
- Life has no meaning, but as humans we try to associate a meaning or purpose so we can justify our existence.
- There is no point in life, and that is exactly what makes it so special.
- Life is a bitch and then you die.
- Life sucks and in the end you die.

- Life or human existence has no real meaning or purpose because human existence occurred out of a random chance in nature, and anything that exists by chance has no intended purpose.

And for the rest of yall (yoyo), our exsistance is pointless from a big perspective cause if it wasn't, there would be justice in the world, there would be something called "fair" and there would be good and bad... In reality there's all a big blurr, black and white's mixed to a shade of grey, dark grey.. A bad action can have good motive behind it, is it then good or bad? A good action can have a bad motive behind it, is it then bad or good? See my point?
Well, if life was meaningless or pointless then what would we call this communication in here and the process of going from sad to happy?
Good, bad or indifferent, life is going to merely be a reflection of you. Life is going to be what you put into it.
Birth, life, death and re-birth are a complete cycle in nature. We're all going die in body and if we were simply body, then death would be the end of the cycle. The problem is that rebirth is very much a part of the cycle. So while this body may die off, spiritually there is no death.
Take your arm for instance. If you were to cut it off and throw your severed arm to the other side of the room, would you be your arm or would you be your spirit. Likewise, if you proceeded with more body parts and removed them, what are you... your body parts or something else. As much as people are led to believe, we are not body, we're energy. So in the cycle of life, birth, life, death and rebirth... it continues.
Wizzy... when we create the injustice in the world or the justice, how then can our lives be pointless? When we make someone smile or find peace within ourselves, how can life be pointless? The good and bad are present because of what you and I make of them.
Look at it from a business perspective for a moment. There are only two things, negative and positive. So from a business perspective, your life is either an asset or a liability. We either create good or bad. However, we are the ones who create it. So if a person can make the decision to be an asset rather than a liability and enough people make such a decision, liabilities become less and less and assets are greater and greater. Apply this to the world of people and take a look at it from a business perspective.
On the business note, one thing I'd like to add since we're talking about this... Wizzy, you are a CEO. We're all CEOs of a business. The business being ourselves. Whether we want to believe it or not, it's true. Each man has a business to run and that business is his life. Just as a man would take a business in life and make it a successful one, life is the same way. We are all CEO's of the most complex business known to man... which is our life.
When a business executive makes poor decisions and doesn't plan or spends more time focusing on the negative aspects of the business and the things that will not improve on the business, the business will reflect this. Same thing applies to life. While being a CEO of a business may seem like it pays much more, being the CEO of your life is so much more important and so much more complexity.
So the business we run is our life. When an executive of a large corporation makes a big change, generally there is careful planning and goal setting. Likewise this also applies to life. When a contractor builds a structure, there are detailed plans, electricians, plumbers, architects and all those various services involved and the goals are set, the plans are approved... all before the first stone is overturned. Many of us however go through life looking at ourselves as just bodies and we don't take into consideration that we are actually CEOs of the most important business we could be faced with. CEOs create, run and manage businesses, Wizzy creates, runs and manages wizzy and wizzy is much more important than any physical structure or other profitable business venture.
Just another way of looking at it. We're all CEOs and we all create. So taking meaning out of life doesn't make much sense because we all have a business to run and that business is our life. Just like the business, whatever is put into it, is what will be reflected back. If you choose to run your business poorly, there will be poor returns. However, stepping down from CEO is not an option, recognizing that you are a CEO is.
Anyway, different perspective. Didn't mean to single out Wizzy and certainly not directing anything towards him. Just trying to make a point.
If you are CEO of a business, is it a joke or is it real?
We all have a job to do and a corporation to maintain and run.
Wizzy, I personally agree with you that, if taken by itself, and if life is its own (only) source of meaning, then life as a whole is meaningless. It's a chase after the wind- in the end no one knows what the next moment will bring, and before too long the body will die and life will be gone from it.
Have you read Ecclesiasties? (Book in the Bible) Even if you don't agree with the conclusions (the author in the end believes that meaning stems from God), I think it's a great read! Especially for anyone wondering about the meaning of life and finding very little... I've read it many times- Somehow it's nice to see people dealing with this same issue thousands of years ago.
Have read the entire official bible but it was some years ago.. It turned me into a athiest... Can't remember exacley that part but it could be because the names of the books isn't the same...

Boagie,
With regards to what you said about Nietzsche being the tonic, which I find to hold true for a lot of my social frustrations.
Would you say that is there a difference between suffering the crushing blow of the realisation of the OP and then developing the attitudes and will to overcome, and the attitude and will of those who simply don't chose to (or can't) endure the blow? Dan.
