wondering
oh how i wish i could know what my meaning is here on this earth. not to sound preacher-ish but i know that there is a reason (don't ask), i just haven't figured out what my purpose is. surely if i am self aware (that i am) i would have figured it out by now, or maybe because i'm "slow" or something. i just would like to know so i don't screw up the opportunity. of course asking wouldn't be wise after all i do suppose that that's why we live life so we can find out what it is that drives us. if we did know our purpose then there would be no point in living, since then it would be meaningless and thus we would never really live. that's just like me, answering my own questions.

That's better then my
That's better then my pessimistic outlook which is to repopulate the earth and make money go around, to better the economy. Or my positive view which is to find love and happiness and that shit. Or what you said.
Yeah can't help you there. Maybe you have to go on a journey of self discovery, if your not already on it.(Yep I sound like a fruit loop)

i've heard that the meaning
i've heard that the meaning of life is to find your own meaning. i know this doesn't help so much, but my Philosophy club is discussing this exact conundrum (oh how i love polysyllabic words) tomorrow, so i'll repost after. this is the exact thought process that got me close to suicide recently, though, so be careful. sometimes you have to just go on without a purpose. i'll let you know tomorrow though.
just to clear something up...
i'm not suicidal, that i can assure you of.
good. i was just warning
good. i was just warning you.. i think? anyways, my club kept going on and on about this and had to stop when a class was about to start. sorry we didn't have any answers! most of the ideas were happiness, love, finding meaning, etc.
yeah.

truly one of the best quotes.

woah. i like that. a lot.
woah. i like that. a lot. and i've been thinking about the meaning of life. i decided human meaning was too big of a question, so i downed it to dogs. for a dog, the meaning of life includes giving and receiving love, eating, sleeping, etc. so i came up with two: 1. maybe we're all that simple? 2. maybe we're too complicated and a meaning can't be articulated.
maybe,
humans tend to overanalyze the simple things, afterall nothing of this magnitude can be answered with such a simple answer.
