Many
religions
,
viewpoints
, and
creative artists
have tried to find the
meaning
of life
, but have no sensible answer. Some people say that we will never know what the meaning of life is. Many
religions
claim to offer some answers. There are also sets of ideas called
philosophies
which try to answer this question. There are also artists who
paint
or
create sculptures
to try expressing life. There are
musicians
who write
music
and
writers
who write stories that try to explain life.
Many have different opinions on what the meaning is. Some say life is a war zone where we are the soldiers fighting in that war for survival. Some think it is all about the relationships that we make in our life. Some people say that life is full of violence and hatred but some say that life is full of hope and happiness. Still, other people say that the meaning of life is to achieve the goals you set in life. According to
Douglas Adams
, the answer to the question is
42
. The
biological
answer is to have children, which is to pass on your
genes
. Others say the meaning of life is simply to live your life to the fullest.
Some say, however, the meaning of life is simply to give life a meaning. However, life can also be an illusion, or maybe a mere mirror of a different universe. Maybe we really don't have any control over our or the universe's actions, since we are all just imitating a different universe. We can never really know. Philosophies such as
nihilism
and
absurdism
deny that life has any meaning.
Or maybe the true meaning of life is to live it completely how you want to, then find out the meaning of it at the end. The meaning could be unique to all of us.
Others, like
Solomon
, argue that 'life is useless'. (
Ecclesiastes
1:2)
