Whats the meaning of life?

Hmm,

...the point of life?
 
Why do people obsess with the idea that life must have meaning? What if life just simply exists, with no underlying meaning or purpose? What then?

Then you can either start to see life as all we have and cherish the time we currently have, or just go onto a morose state about how, ultimately, useless all our efforts and labors are, in the end: We still have a choice as to how we should act according to our beliefs. So, in a nutshell, nothing changes - :beer:😀

Why must worth come from an outside source?

If there is no outside source to give it worth, if there is just existance, then we can give it any meaning and purpose we want to. We are totally free and unconstrained and able to do whatever we wish with it.

I'm afraid that the more absenses there are, the more things are possible. And if there's an absense the size of God, then there probably isn't anything so appalling that we can count on not meeting it.

why be dictated by outside sources? what if it is each individual that determines the worth?
 
Life is living proof that miracles occur.
What's sad is that the creator knows that all life destroys itself eventually.
Life is an experiment. Is it a supervised experiment, now that's the question.. LOL ( I have had way too many beers..)
