What is life? the meaning? the objective?

these are the great questions that raise their head time to time. I for one haven't found the answer to those questions. Not that i haven't searched for them ( from various, sometimes very, very dark, places ).

Has someone got a clue for me? I always love a challenge, a mystery, but the mystery of life may be a bit out of my league, hell, none else has solved it. Not that i know of, anyway.

And what is the purpose of this message?

Well, just one of those weird threads that i like to put up, just to color things up here at M-Games site.
The intensity of these game related threads easily leads to believe that gaming is the one and only reason for existence for the thousands of people who hang around here.

So, in conclusion:

Nothing really said, nothing really done.

Life is self-defined. Life is what we make it. Any meaning in life is meaning we have given it. One can aspire to greatness, and have many accomplishments, but fail in one area, and that person may consider their life wasted. Others may look upon that persons life, and only dream of accomplishing as much. Someone else may be totally satisfied with a mediocre existance, and be none the worse for wear. My opinion is that for most of us, our lives are governed by our past, and we aren't even aware of it. What we think is free will and our choice, is really a set of preset responses that were established when we were children. We'll start with that.

The meaning of life is life itself.

The universe exists, that is its explanation.

Life is, that is its meaning.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who babbles here :p

A song I wrote in '94

The Life
by Mike Wiley (Stukadawg)

Challenged by his birth
to dare become a man
There were riches to be claimed
but he didn't understand
Crowns for the taking
kingdoms in dispair
Everybody wants it
so come and take your share

Challenged by his love
to unclench his tired hands
He saw this island Earth
was losing her sands
So he walked along the shoreline
early in the day
Knowing that by nightfall
his footprints washed away

Challenged by his death
to prove his love was true
He unclenched his tired hands
there was nothing else to do
But he never shed a tear
because he learned the truth
To live is just to live
and death is living proof

(a sidenote: the guitarist of my old band wants to start recording some of the songs I'd written that never made it into the band's repitoir. His reason: to help me make some money. Now is that a nice guy or what?)

I really would like to be a friend to your friend...

Stukadawg,

You have a talent friend, thank-you for sharing it.

Thank you for your kind compliment.
They really do make all the difference.

All my best,
