What is the meaning of life?

The universe acheiving self awareness, and wanting to have friends.

You Hegelian, you.

And did you mean WE want to have friends, or that the universe, after attaining self-awareness, wants to have friends?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

That's Hegelian? I thought it was very reminiscent of some Eastern religions.

Hegel is reminiscent of some eastern religions, as is Spinoza. But I think the particular phrasing is Hegelian.

I'm still trying to figure out how the universe can make friends, if it is the Everything. What else is there to make friends with -- the Nothing?

It splinters, and makes friends with its otherselves?

[wcg.livejournal.com]

Yes. Both.

I felt I used to know the answer to that for myself, but over the last week, it seems to have changed.....All I know that for me right now it is being loved, loving others and being with friends......

i dunno about the actual meaning, but i'm learning, SLOWLY, that it's more about the journey than the destination.

I don't know what the meaning is, but I do know I'm dreading the final exam.

(What, you didn't know about the final exam? Didn't you get a syllabus??)

Auuugh, I used to have NIGHTMARES like that when I was in school!

[lkeele.livejournal.com]

Didn't we all?

The life that has meaning is not the true life.
