Meaning of life?
Timdog:
To me, I feel the meaning of life is to explore as much of life as we can.
Learn as much as you can, experience as many things as you can, form relationships, etc.
There are so many things we can do in this life, and I think we as humans want to experience as much of that as possible. Also, think about it this way, why do we watch sporting events? Because we have no idea what the real outcome of the event will be. Things slowly unfold (or quickly if you're Usain Bolt 8)) but it is the curiosity at what might happen that makes us interested in it. I think this applies to a lot of things in life.
Then again, we also find comfort in familiar things like a particular song we love or rewatching a particular movie.

I agree wholeheartedly.
The only thing that really confuses me in this world is war.
We have such short lifespans, yet we are determined to blow each other sky high over petty arguments like land.
Sure, I support pixelated homicide, but not real life.
"Every life ended is the end of another story" as I always say.

"It's through war that humanity's ability as an intelligent species is utilized in its finest glory." - Me
Our intelligence was specifically designed to be used during wars, yes. That's why we are intelligent: To fight war. :)

Exactly, Think of how further our eduction would be in other aspects (like transportation and agriculture) if we didn't waste all of our time figuring out new ways to kill each other.
I remember a quote I heard from someone a while back. "If we landed on the moon 40 years ago, why are cars still on the ground?"

Its the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything...
But... What is the question?
