What do you guys think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well I wouldn't put it EXACTLY that way but there is a Zen truth here!. Life & Death define each other!. A rock never lives, so a rock never dies!. Nature is the struggle of who lives & who dies!. We are shaped by Evolution, which is in turn driven by who lives & who dies!. For every meal you've had, something had to die!. Your existence is framed by when you die!. It is fair to say that Death defines the meaning to Life, after all what is the struggle of Life if not to reproduce before you die!? That said, it's more poetry than truth to say Life's meaning IS Death!. It's like saying the meaning of football is when the game ends!. Make sense!? The game is certainly defined by how long you have to play, but that's not quite the same as saying the game's end is it's 'meaning'!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Well the reason you go to school is to graduate and you graduate because you need to go to college and you need to graduate college so you can earn a degree or whatever to get a real job and make money, have a family blah blah blah!. And eventually reach your goal/dream!. That's what the meaning of life is, you've been giving a chance to look at the world and make a person out of you!. Life isn't about finding yourself, its about creating yourself!. And then eveantually after you've done so much and accomplished so much, you die!. I mean, if you were given imortality thennn yeuuuh!. :)Im not so sure that helped but yeaahh!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Hmm, I'm not seeing how life is meaningless without death!. I mean, I guess if we never died we wouldn't wonder why we lived, but that would be the only truth!. But that doesn't necessarily give it meaning!. I'm not sure I agree with that quote!. Who said that!? Who's criticizing you!? I didn't see anything that read as criticism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Then the meaning of up is down because neither exists without the other!. life and death create a whole and are used to define each other within that whole!. If that is where you find meaning so be it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I think it makes sense because if life was endless, what would be the point, you would just keep saying ill do it later, so we need a limit to time!. Although some times I wish it could be longer!.!.!.=0Www@QuestionHome@Com It means the because Jesus died for us we have eternal life and without His death for us to get saved and have eternal life, life would be meaningless and hopeless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You're friend is absolutely correct!. It's the great equalizer -and- the great motivator!. DougWww@QuestionHome@Com That is what soldier said when they went into battle without thinking about coming back alive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I would like you to explain why death gives life meaning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
