The only person taking this seriously is Anton, who incidentally started the entire thread.

Maybe knowing that you can choose your meaning is the answer.

Chainsmoker - you overlook the possibility that whining about it all is indeed the meaning of life. Nevertheless, I prefer to think life’s meaning is a good meal, a beautiful woman, and a bottle of fine wine. I may be wrong, but I’ll do further research on my theory tonight with the wife.

I have often said, in lighthearted moments, that all a man needs to be happy is:

A good meal.
Some beer.
A lovely girlfriend.

Sounds like you’re pretty close to the mark there. We are disgusting creatures, aren’t we?

Well, existentialism is certainly an option. The problem is that there are “no athiests in the foxhole” and apparently this applies to existentialists as well. Sartre lost interest in existentialism in later life and Walker Percy left a version of it for Catholisim in his later years. I guess when you are younger, the idea of creating your own meaning sounds cool, but as you get older, it loses some of its attraction.

I wasn’t sure what existentialism meant so I had to look it up. I didn’t quite mean that. I meant that a person gets to “choose” his/her own meaning. Existentialisn would be one of the many choices out there (buddism, islamicism :? , daosim, christianity, etc.). I guess choosing to create a new and unheard of meaning is an option too.

I didn’t really read through this but it seemed intreasting enough to post [CLICK HERE]

Or if you really wanted to be cynical, you could choose Wolframism, which should become a substantial movement within a few years.
