    My point to which you responded was that life is a "bring your own point" concept. That's just a statement of a soft form of nihilism. I fail to believe that there is some overarching supernaturally developed "reason for life". It just is. It is up to us to figure out what we want to do with it.

    Now, are you able to discuss without name calling?

    Thanks!

    Wow, you seem to have some anger management issues. Mighty thin skinned to be on the internet aren't you?

    Also: would you mind NOT making this about me and actually stick to the topic of the thread?

    Thanks.

    This was first post. Where did you actually respond to the content?

    A philosophy professor writes:

    “I assume you’re here for The Meaning of Life?” I asked on the first day of classes a few falls ago.

    Sixteen heads bobbed over a regiment of crisp new notebooks and pens cocked for action.

    “That phrase is a bit misleading,” I said. “When most people hear it, they think of large-scale questions like ‘What does it all mean?,’ ‘Why are we here?,’ ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?’ The assumption is that there’s some deep order built into the universe that we might uncover and comprehend.”

    Why?



    Because he rationally believes we were not created for some imagined destiny assigned by a higher being?




    There is no higher being


    We evolved to a point that we have emotions and a high functioning brain



    To breath is the only real meaning to attribute to that


    To exist



    The real meaning has to be created by the individual

    I HONESTLY could not understand his point. He addressed my post but I could not figure out what it was he was trying to say.

    Then he lost his sh*t and started screeching about trolls and hurling insults. I even tried to address a point I thought MAYBE was his point. But sadly he was still too overly emotional.

    But you have to understand what people are saying.

    Look on Post #14. I attempted to address your point.

    I suggest you improve your READING skills as well.

    I addressed it in the post you initially replied to but then you got into a snit over someone questioning your syntax.

    Then I went on to further explain my point in Post 14.


    You are spending too much time calling people names and not enough time actually reading.
