Do you believe life is meaningless?
Hello everyone,

Well, it's a very delicate and polemic subject, but I'd like to know how you guys deal with this crucial question of life.

Absurd life is the foundation concept behind of The Myth of Sisyphus, a great philosophical essay written by Albert Camus. In his book, Camus proposed that everyone must recognize life is meaningless, but they shouldn't surrender to suicide ideas and stuff as a consequence of that.

So I ask you: What do you think about it? Do you really believe life is meaningless? How do you deal with this "life absurdity"?

Answer

Well, it really isn't a logical statement. How would one determine that life is meaningless? It is merely an opinion, with no proof whatsoever to back it up. If we assume the proposition that "life is meaningless"  is true, what greater absurdity could there be than trying to build a life philosophy based on it? One would have to assume that even the proposition itself is meaningless.

The search for "meaning" is a lifelong effort and we shouldn't be distracted by trite pronouncements such as"life is meaningless".  I would rather assume the opposite, "that our thoughts and actions are important and have meaning " and  spend every breath searching for it, because in my heart, I know it's there.

Answer

I think when it comes down to reality. Yes life is meaningless. Or at the very least (if a meaning exists) I personally cannot comprehend it at this stage in my life. So the way I see it, this leaves us with two options. Either we accept this nihilistic preposition and try enjoy every second we have or we give ourselves a purpose. For example, trying to better the human race through science, art, philosophy ect...

Answer

Answer

I think that the life meaning is to enjoy the people and the consignees we've gotten. The meaning is the one we set, nobody has the right to tell us what to do with it. So I try to enjoy it and I've found that most of this comes from a constant challenge to the mind.

Answer

Life has  meaning.
