What is the meaning of life?

First off, happy new year to all you lovely horror nuts! I Hope you had a good holiday season, whatever you got up to!

I thought it would be nice, and interesting, to have a kind of abstract discussion. I think it's always cool to hear the views of people on the mahoosive questions about life, the world and...stuff...like, yeah...man...cool.

*ahem*

Personally, I don't have a fucking clue. (Pardon my French but I feel emphasis was necessary). I'm very disturbed by how short, relative to the earth and life in general, my own life is bound to be. How can there be meaning, what can possibly be acheived by one person...especially someone like me?!

I suppose I'd agree loosely with the Hicksian philosophy that it's "Just a ride". We come from nothing, go back to nothing. But that spark of life, such a short spark, but a real spark nonetheless...that is the ride of life. But then, try telling that to someone born into poverty who will likely die there as well.


Anyway! Discuss, disagree, debate...what, if anything, is the meaning of life?
