<p>True or False? The meaning of life.</p>
<p>False in that life's perceived meaning is merely a lie. Nothing you do matters except self-gratification, since when you die and your life is over no one will remember you and within a year nothing will have changed. You are a worthless pawn of those in power. You have been brainwashed into thinking you can "make a difference" when the reality is that very few ever will. </p>
<p>So since self-gratification is the only meaning of life, you need to kill a bunch of people and get remembered by history.</p>

Why do you find killing people to be gratifying?</p>
<p>To put it in short, life is basically one big test that we're all being tested on.</p>
<p>It's not killing people per se, it's violence. Everyone loves violence, even me, and I'm all for world peace. I figure all I have to do is get a sawn off shotgun, baseball bat, wrench, and other awesome weapons, go out into the wilderness for a while, bonk/shoot some trees, and then come back to civilization with my thirst for AWESOME violence satisfied.</p>

but what is a test without answers</p>
<p>Meaning = interpretation including nihilism, life’s whatever you make it. But that’s just one way of interpreting meaning (I get that wasn’t it in your context). </p>
<p>Things would more likely lose value and be taken for granted if they were eternal. Even if you wanted to live forever, you’ll try everything to the point of boredom. What next, more purposes via evolutionary regression? And if it’s so that’s where many parts of the world are headed, at least life’s a mindless trap without the pursuit of discovery. </p>
<p>There may not be divine purpose but just as much as transience can be perceived as futile, it can equally have value because each moment is unique; we must rank preferable pursuits and make the most of what we’ve got until its gone. Self-gratification isn’t necessarily meaningless. If you lived your life to be remembered I reckon that would be pointless since your legacy wouldn’t effect you whatsoever. I think it’s absurd to say the success of a man is measured by how many people miss him, all that matters is how the sheer idea of it gratifies you in the moment up until how many regrets still haunt you on your death bed. Heck, I would rank metaphysical prospects before legacy; at least there’s hope for something in it for the deceased. All that’s left is the possibility of what comes after, which no one can sure of. As for militant pimps and pawns… Satan says its better to be safe than sorry :P</p>
<p>Is it multiple choice?</p>
<p>Haha, I’ve always wanted to write a philosophy exam that ended with “What is the meaning of life? Express your answer in radians.”</p>
<p>(Anyway, the answer is “False” because I’m a nihilist.)</p>
<p>false…the meaning of life is worthless because if we knew, then what would be the point of living. we’d already know why. the meaning of life could be definite or always changing based on our decisions. sorta like the future. :)</p>
<p>To get into Harvard, if CC is any indication.</p>
<p>'grats to lockn on being the only one who isn’t cliche</p>

<p>Therefore I present this.</p>
<p>Pikachu knows all.</p>
<p>Meh the thought of Harvard makes me want to shoot myself. Oh right we’re talking about people who couldn’t live without the bloody prospect. </p>
<p>I’ll take credit for that by eating the pokeball. ~animorphin~</p>

I thought that too, but then I visited. People were pretty normal. Admissions is very unpredictable so most of them are surprised they got in.</p>
