What’s life about?

[Porridge GTI]

I’m in reflective mood as I contemplate my morning cappuccino. Friends, let us contemplate the cosmos and its workings.

[Squiddly Diddly]

It's big, very very big.

Don't bother wondering it will just confuse you & blow your mind. You/we are totally inconsequential in the grand scheme. The planet is of no consequence in the scheme of the universe.

Start thinking & the booze will be out before you've had your next sip of coffee.

Simplified, it's about 42 x MX5

It's not that big. It's not even as big as mine.

I would use the car analogy - 30+ years ago I had a Chevette and I wanted to know how every bit worked, so I could analyse and fix it. Now I’ve got an incredibly complex Skoda Superb and I just enjoy the ride.

For me, life is a delicate balance between making the most of it for me, and trying to do good things for others. It’s far too complex for me to understand.

It’s a just a complex series of subatomic particle arrangements.

About 6:54 on a Saturday at the moment.

Do you suffer from insomnia?

Children.

Not for everyone of course but those who don’t will never understand.

We’re programmed to want to multiply and the satisfaction you get from doing so is immeasurable.

The experience of bringing them up and improving their being rewards you even further, building a bond in family.

If one man can achieve greatness, his family can do infinitely more.

According to IMDb, "A team of scientists aboard the International Space Station discover a rapidly evolving life form that caused extinction on Mars and now threatens all life on Earth."

Or if it's the tv series you're talking about, "A former police officer returns to the force after having been wrongly imprisoned for years."

OP, why don't you study philosophy? Lots of very clever people have been asking this question for two or three thousand years.

Bertrand Russell's History Of Western Philosophy is a good place to start.

Spinoza is my hero.

[David87]

Maybe it’s all a simulation anyway.

[daddy cool]

Oh, life? It's bigger... it's bigger than you, and you are not me.

[cat with a hat]

It's to pass on your genes by reproducing or there is no meaning.

Basically it’s just about reproduction and the survival of your species.

The role of Homo Sapien is to populate the Universe.

We're witnessing the very early stages.

To be happy - that’s my motto.


Life is short and sadly can be cruel and savagely short.
Have no regrets
Money stuff things don’t matter one jot

Time passes so quickly before you know it 40/50/60 heck then your into your 70’s and wonder where did it all go.

Having kids is a great thing

Actually Russell himself is a hero of mine. Not Spinoza. I don’t do old full-of-silly-and-abstruse-assumptions philosophy. Russell was in a different league, however. Up there with Magnus Carlsen and the like.
