What's up?
I'm torn, sometimes I think life has meaning, purpose, a plan, and karma, but sometimes I think there is no meaning, and a materialistic, atheist, nihilistic, and physical view takes over my thoughts.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

This is the wrong forum for bluffing

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

Hallooo!
The green careening planet
spins blindly in the dark
so close to annihilation.
Listen. No one listens. Meow.

Re: I have arrived
The only meaning that your life can have is the meaning that you choose to give it (within reason, naturally, as some things are unachievable or rely too much on other people... but, y'know, as best you can, that meaning is yours to decide).Jacen wrote:What's up?

The purpose of life is to survive long enough to reproduce. Not very fulfilling, as it is the same purpose of life that (e.g.) plankton has.
The only plan that life has... actually, re-read what I wrote about the meaning of life.
Karma exists, but not in the divine sense (reincarnation etc). If you treat other people badly, you'll likely receive the same in return.
This is a materialistic universe.
There are no personal gods, so you're on good grounds with atheism.
Nihilism is pointlessly self-defeating.
Hope that helped. Oh, and welcome.

Halo.
Nihilism ain't all its cracked up to be.
There is no meaning, but so what? The desire for "meaning" outside yourself is an implant from religion. It is unnecessary, and there is no negative consequence to ditching that unhelpful concept.
Then, party on!
