so go for existential philosophy which very distilled says life's meaning is whatever meaning you give to life at that moment...whatever you value.

Jon,
'Helping other people, give joy and happiness to others...'
Is this the meaning of life?
I am too selfish for this, man....


I consider myself a very selfish person. Meaning that I act in a way that benefits me. I assure you that life has been good to me in every category.

In order to receive, you must give it away.

I do agree with what Ray said about Budda and The Hitchhiker's Guide.

Live. Feed flee fight boink. Have children. Eat the other guy's kids if he lets his guard down. If the other guy comes at your kids, shoot him repeatedly. Do what you must to secure a future for your offspring. Discuss the transitory and illusory nature of reality over some really excellent Port with an old friend. Build an operational interstellar colony ship.
