The Obvious; The Meaning To Life

GrandmasterTheGameOfLife · 09-21-2007, 05:55 PM

Probably more than once, You have found yourself pondering the question... What is the purpose of all of this??? This; being LIFE.

If you haven't already figured it out for yourself. I will educate your ignorance with a few simple keystrokes.

To answer this question one must ask; What is common to ALL LIFE?

ALL LIFE strives to survive as long as possible...
You breath air every few seconds, drink water, and eat food probably every day. Life even goes through evolution to do this.
WHY? TO SURVIVE, as long as possible, thats right.

But us humans; in certain countries that is ; have these necessities of daily life taken care of and as a result; we are on the top of the food chain.

So then the question comes to mind , not what is the meaning to life but what to do with all of this free time that us humans have.

The answer to this is obvious.... PREPARE.

We should be preparing for events and species; THAT will end our survival.

For example... Curing diseases like, AGING (being the biggest one) , VIRUSES, CANCER etc... or Natural Disasters, WAR... This list goes on and on.

Obviously the meaning of this wonderful game of life is TO NOT DIE!!!!!!

So, I hope you have enjoyed this lesson and become a productive member of society to further mankind in this beautiful existence that we call LIFE.

I didn't start with that statement.

But to those who take the word ignorance as an insult;

It is not.

Ignorance is a synonym for unaware.

What is your conclusion of the meaning to life Geshtinnanna? Is it the same as mine?

It's probably not. Your untrue statement says plenty about you already.

It shows that you are uneducated, a follower, and lost.

With all due respect, I believe that Geshtinnanna was trying to point out that your initial post was caustic. It was condescending and dictatorial. It smacked of, dare I say it, preaching. What Geshtinnanna indicated was that a lot of people will summarily dismiss your ideas because of the way you've chosen to package them. Your response was combative.

My assumption is that you'd like your ideas to be judged on the intellectual content of your rhetoric and not just the emboldened veneer.

Now, as far as your observations, it seems to me that you're saying, "We, humanity, should be focusing our efforts and resources on sciences and technologies that are aimed at curing disease, space colonization, civil defense, etc. because instinctual survival is the only evidentiary constant in living things."

Is that right? Close?

This is false. I will pardon your ignorance. When you finish collecting more data, please feel free to try again.

Hey, look at you. You can Read and Paraphrase. Can you chew bubble gum at the same time?

No, It is not False.

ALL LIFEFORMS DO STRIVE TO SURVIVE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

You can't even put up an argument for it.

pseudonous · 09-24-2007, 12:18 PM

lol, I really didn't think it required an arguement. How about a few facts;

1. smokers clearly are not striving to survive as long as possible
2. salmon certainly don't strive to live as long as possible (if they did they would certainly put off breeding a few more years)
3. a male preying mantis risks death every time it trys to breed (the female may kill it)

Clearly all life does not strive to survive to survive as long as possible. Of course, it really only requires one example to disprove an absolute but I thought I would give three just for the fun.

I will knock your half a** arguments down one by one.

1. Whether one kills their self slowly by smoking, or quickly by a gunshot to the head. Their HEART will continue to beat as long as possible, all involuntary motions including;their cells that they are made of, will continue to do what they always do to continue life (I.E. Replicate and adapt as best possible.

2. and 3. are the same- Disregard for one's self for their OFFSPRING. OFFSPRING is life's way to LIVE LONGER.
