Meaning of life?

Im just a pessimist with horrible luck.
I wonder about life and how people live it. Why we get up to work, only to survive another day. There is always more than just having fun, sex, etc. Why do people live, why are they afraid to die? The reason people suffer is always blamed on others. No one takes there own actions into account and this leads to complaints, strife, and stress on oneself and others. So how do we escape? Heh, we cant. We can only accept somethings are beyond our control. Death is certain, but the hour of ones death is not.
Sorry for rambling there, i constantly think about this. When I find my answer to life, ill let you guys know, till then, keep living!!

It's the human condition... Only recently (past 200 or so years) that people have really been fearing death. Remember Spartans? They didn't fear death, but instead, feared dishonor above all else. So what's different from them and us? We are "programmed" since birth to survive and to fear death because it causes the continuity of life.
Now, is there really a meaning to life? I mean, think of it this way. We are complex (understatement) machines at the most basic level. We are a factory of cells working away at their specific tasks. Our mind and perceptions of the world is processed into our brains creating self awareness (don't anyone give me that "we all see the world differently!" bull crap... blue is blue and red and still FUCKING RED). We think, we put labels on as to how we feel, and we interact with each other. That's life. Just one machine communicating with another machine when broken down to the simplest of levels.
But this helps with how people live their lives. If you control your mind, you control everything. You control your emotions, you control your fears. If everyone had self control, the world would be a better place. But just like any machine... once it breaks down... it's done.

the meaning of life is to be rich, sleep with lots of women, and leave a legacy. Either that or watch jp AV, play video games, and fap fap

Reproduce as many as possible. If you can't reproduce you fail at living.
