It's only humans that think there should be a meaning.

The search for the answer to a question to which there is no one right answer.

Yep I agree! No meaning at all, we just got to clever for our own good! Life existed millions of years before we did and they didn't ask why they were here!

Like any other species on this planet, we are simply here to reproduce, simple as. Hope this helps!

Youmake that sound like it's a bad thing! Anyway, how do you know that the average dog or cat doesn't ask itself the same question?

We are too intelligent for our own good but not intelligent enough by far.

We have been given the ability to question our existence but not the intelligence or capacity to even begin to answer the question.

What if you don't reproduce?

What's the meaning then?

Internet porn.

Never really understood why this question holds such fascination. There is no 'meaning'. It's like asking "what is the meaning of soup?". Sweet FA, frankly.

To have a good time while you're here, whether that being a dustman or a captain of industry.

Then your family line dies out and you fail as a living organism, as that is the true meaning of life! It's really not that hard to grasp! The answer is simply 'to exist'.

We, as humans, think we are oh so special because we have the ability to question ourselves and life/existence, but it is all bks really. We think there must be a meaning behind everything, we are all special and that we are here for a reason.

Maybe a cat/dog also questions why they are here too, but until I see one post on PH asking then I'm going to presume that it's just us humans!

Things are born, reproduce and die. Have done for millions of years before we existed, and will do after we have gone. Humans are a drop in the ocean of earth's history and we're really not that special!
