"What is the meaning of life?"...
June 2, 2014 at 8:34 pm
I always hear this question asked as if it's some profoundly deep philosophical conundrum that can't be answered. Well, it isn't. Fact is, life is just organic chemicals that can self-replicate. It has no intrinsic meaning. The fact that we have a complex enough bag of chemicals in our skulls so that we are self-aware means nothing. If the question is directed towards your life in particular, I'd say the answer is whatever meaning you will it to have.
