in a sentence or less, whats the meaning of life

[Pegg]

Good post Pegg
But one that will not reach many ears !

thats ok, its a good reminder for the rest of us

The meanings of our lives
are the meanings we give/impart/see/understand in them.

This business of "meaning"
is a human affair.

 

[Janri]

Life is a manifestation to which we all are brought into in order for our souls to learn and evolve so that one day we might become somehow closer to god.

one sentence sucks

 

[A Thousand Suns]

Simple----the purpose of life, is to worship Allah(swt) and only him alone

 

[chinu]

Simple----the purpose of life worship Allah(swt) and only him alone

Can you explain this in brief ?

Yes it is - but only for the short-sighted , those who lack vision for an eternal future.

 

[chinu]

To collect the frubals.

Yes it is - but only for the short-sighted , those who lack vision for an eternal future.

Or, equivalently, those who have not been conned.

Yes it is - but only for the short-sighted , those who lack vision for an eternal future.

This is an example
of one of your meanings.

Contradiction of terms, violation of the first commandment; and mixing of metaphor without a simile. For shame.

 

[Beta]

Some are obviously missing the similarity between physical and spiritual short-sightedness. Poor eye-sight does not only apply to human life it also restricts our spiritual vision. In this life we seek assistance from an optician (or even more sophisticated gadgets) on the other hand we need GOD to enhance vision into the future.

 

[Civil Shephard]

The Meaning of Life is the "circle on the face of the deep"... that endless horizon of adventure and joyful discovery.

 

[blackout]

Draws circle....

 

[slowbreath]

i think the meaning of life is to learn and experience

 

[bhaktajan]

Go Home Back to Godhead.

 

[Nooj]

I'm talking for the non-masochistic ones, but even for masochists, they find happiness from pain, so even they prefer happiness to depression. I can't see why you would prefer a life of depression instead of happiness. Care to enlighten me?

It's not a matter of preferring. Most people would prefer to be happy. But what's the value of happiness? Why is it better than feeling bad? I mean of course it feels better, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is better, unless your worldview actually states that the feeling of happiness is the ultimate good.
