"Shag at last we 'almost' agree. What you say is perfectly true. Humans don't have to create though, they simply have to 'be'. People never examine their lives. They believe they are free but they are only free to choose within the confines of societal rules. Life has no meaning at all Shag. None. That is part of the reason people should live in the now .....for the next moment may never come. Just 'be'. Just be beings. Just ENJOY being........ stop looking for meaning. " That works for me.  | |||

" The next moment may never come, OR it might come at you with 40 tons of artic and boom! The rest of your life takes on a very different complexion. Just be. And be understanding that the lot you have presently is only temporary. | |||

I hope the carer turns up on time "They don't give a time. It could be between 07:30 and 11:00. | |||

"I think some of us are talking about the meaning of *our* life rather than life itself as a concept I don’t think the second one really exists does it? Everybody is life has a different meaning and that is whatever they choose it to be." I think you're right. Hence me saying we can't assume the meaning of other people's life. Life itself just exists and the 'meaning' is the biological imperitive for it to continue. All imho of course | |||

"I kinda like the meaning of your life shag, sounds good. I agree, humans are super creators - and collaborators , it’s what makes us different to every every other species. Mine is quite similar, in addition I want to have a positive impact that lives on way beyond me. " Yes, we are super creators and collaborators, that is good yours are similar too | |||

"I don’t think we are meant to create, rather we create to give meaning. It’s interesting that what is considered our highest expression of meaning, art, must of itself be useless as anything other than itself to be art and therefore meaningful. " Art is one is the first things humans did to attach and communicate meaning - probably before any kind of language, religion and science. Art is a core outcome of the transcendent nature of being human Human’s have created a deeply symbolic and meaning-laden world, way beyond what was ever heeded to survive, reproduce or simply ‘be’ | |||

Exactly I don’t subscribe to the ‘choice is an illusion’ or we’re all trapped in the system bollocks. It’s a total cop out
Read about people born into or living through the most horrific unimaginable situations ,( Hellen Keller, Viktor Franklin, hundreds more) still able to create the most meaningful lives. | |||

"The meaning of my life today is to dry my hair and give the house a darn good tidy up. I will definitely achieve one of these things even if it is by default" My life would have a lot more meaning today if I could reach the bottle of Oramorph. Alas, I cannot. The morning carer forgot. I await the sweet, sweet relief from pain (well, the sweet, sweet reduction in pain) later today. Until then, my life is mainly ouch. Ouch, ouch, fucking ouch | |||

"42 One very sad day, people will stop getting that reference. " I hope not, Douglas Adams might have only been trying to write something funny but I honestly think it's a wonderful piece of philosophical writing dressed up as humour. If any of you haven't already - read the book. You already know the answer (42), the real problem is knowing what Question to ask. | |||
