meaning of life...

i was just wasting time online...
came home from library and didn't really feel like continuing studying...
when i came across this...
it's quite... interesting and cool... and weird...
it's from yahoo... and i came across it while mindlessly surfind around...
basically i just wanna waste some more time by posting some mindless internet surf...

but still... it is a little thought provoking... more of interesting actually to see what the world at large thinks...

here are some excerpts... the site is here...

This is the supposed "best" answer... it's a bit long... so i'll just give u up to about 30 words...

A question that has been asked so many times in so many ways.There is no finite answer that human beings at this level would be absolutely satisfied with, because any answer would only lead to another question.
More why's, but...what..how?

it's really long... if u really wanna read it go check out the site..

here's more shorter and more interesting answers...
i think this is the bane of the internet... no one's interested in substance anymore... just bright lights will do... and not too many of it...

hard to describe
but life is like a hamburger with everything on it
there are parts i like
and parts i just wanna get through
but overall the hamburger is good
*nice... but a bit like Forrest Gump*

Ah! The meaning of life! The human experience is the single thing that ties all of us together. You should read some of the basics existentialism; satre, nietzche. Also absurdism; Albert Camus, in the Myth of Sisyphus, ponders if life is worth living. Though a seemingly depressing notion, Camus argued that the only way to find true meaning is to free oneself of presupposed notions of fate. It's really great stuff. Life is a wonderous thing and the universe is full of possibilities!
*wat?? *

i found it mildly interesting that amongst over 20 replies to this question... 4 were religious...
3 christian (kinda).. and one buddhist i think.. Dharma is buddhist rite?... the other's were mainly... fun answers... but most of the answers as well as the longer answers... consisted of probably atheistic ppl trying to promote their belief or rather.. un-belief in God... strange, but i realized that if the tables were turned... and it were the religious ppl trying to persuade others to see things from their point of view ppl would ask...
"Why do you have to force everyone to believe wat you believe in?"
but since its coming from some one who "doesn't believe in anything"... heh, i guess it's "okay" to "persuade" someone to "not believe" in anything, but it's bad to persuade someone to believe in something... hmm...
