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

    "If, then, there is some end of the things we do, which we desire for its own sake (everything else being desired for the sake of this), and if we do not choose everything for the sake of something else (for at that rate the process would go on to infinity, so that our desire would be empty and vain), clearly this must be the good and the chief good." --Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics

    So you are unwilling to discuss the point unless you can call me names?

    I understand. If you have no ability to discuss things rationally or even calmly you are free to bid me adieu. I would recommend you calm down just a smidge, though.

    I knew you were a troll in your first post. You are not clever, it is obvious. Is wasting other people's time the only joy you get out of life?

    I apologize for addressing the post and angering you so much. I can't help that you clearly have some "issues".

    If you would like to discuss the concept of nihilism and/or the meaning of life (or lack thereof) I'll be glad to do so, but I really have to ask you to stop being so angry and unhinged.

    Perhaps for you the meaning of life is to take offense?

    Oh my! A post finally without an attack! Whew!

    I do not believe life has any specific "meaning" per se. As I stated earlier at least twice now, I believe that any point in life is what we provide.

    I'm sorry but this isn't a "conversation". I'm still genuinely curious about your initial question:

    I don't see how that applies to my point about nihilism. Would you care to explain what you meant?

    Okay, first, there was a typo, I meant "unique understanding of life."
    Second, I have no idea what nihilism has to do with this.

    Seriously? You don't see the link between "Nihilism" and the "Meaning of life"? OK. I'm not sure what I can do with that. Maybe hit up a philosophy class?

    Thanks for not explaining your point or how it relates to my post you were responding to. I like having people demand stuff from me and calling me names.

    I agree


    It’s up to us to make life have meaning



    And to help others feel their life is meaningful


    Just warms the soul to ponder that
