What gives your life meaning?

well, it's hard to get up in the morning i must say ^_^; i stay in bed for another 2 hours or so after waking up :P but maybe i'm just lazy that way. what does make me get up though is the thought of maybe seeing my bf later during the day. or just b/c i feel icky and have a headache from being in bed for so long :P anyhoo, i know i must put more meaning into my life right now that's how i feel anyway

The meaning of life? The Cosmos tends to cycle in increasingly complex patterns, and life refers to patterns of a certain level of complexity. For the purposes of this post, life means the conscious experience that we can agree upon.

I live to make positive changes in the lives of those who are close to me. I live to move human evolution forward. I live to grow, to love, to create, to shed light on redundancies in human behavior. I live to one day be the best father possible, and pass on what I've learned to later generations.

I live to witness human evolution, to see advances in technology. I want to know if our species is smart enough to survive it's own greed. I live to shatter ignorance and illusion. I live to make the future better. I live to give folk reason for optimism.

Continuing consciousness is the most important thing in the universe. I live to ensure that there are more opportunities for the universe to experience itself. I live to increase the chances that it's an enjoyable one.

Family, friends, and sports. Without them, I honestly would have no reason to get up in the morning other than pure motivation to prove someone wrong who doubted me.

At some point I hope to find a significant other that I can start a family with, which will give me more meaning to life.

Music, that's for sure. My fascination for it has been growing since I've first touched the old piano in my house. Other things would be friends and family since its what you see everyday. Hope, choices and goals too give life meaning. These things give me a sense of direction. Surely if not for these I would probably be leading a fuzzy unclear life. Living life with the end in mind surely helps me see things from a broader perspective.

Every single thing about my life is what I live for. I'm just so simply happy to be in existence in the first place that every scent, sight, sound, feeling, and taste stirs up my blood and makes every day an exciting experience.

Simply being grateful for my position in life definitely contributes to this overall ecstasy that I derive from life. The fact that I am able to actually survive with little effort on a day-to-day basis is something that I cherish to no end. I think of all the people in this world who have the insufficient supplies to stay properly fed and hydrated and feel so bad that they are not able to live comfortable lives with the bare-minimum needs fulfilled. Then I reflect that unto my own life and always come to the same conclusion: I have no reason not to enjoy every single moment of my life, for everything is urging me to do so. In fact, with these requirements met, I have time to try and figure out ways to help those less fortunate than I.

Damn good point.

A while ago, it was video games, and music. Video games lost their charm. music is still important, but it doesn't give my life meaning. it's more of a hobby now.

My girlfriend is the one thing that gives my life meaning as of now. Unfortunately, I haven't seen her, talked with her, or had any kind of contact with her in over a week, because her parents are over protective. Trust me, it's and ugly ordeal. They even complained to the sheriff. Luckily, the guy was nice enough and was basically on my side about it.

It might be considered as a silly answer, but dreaming is the way to go for me.

Every night I can simply forget about myself and embrace night as deep as she is.

The world moves for love. So do I.

Is it sad to say that a girl that I've known for about five months now gave a totally new meaning to my life? Crazy shit, these women...
