What is the REAL meaning of LIFE?
After much thought on the subject (about 54 years) I have come to realize the following...

It's all about SEX

Everything else is derived from or leads to sex.

Power (or lack of power), politics, religion, all could not function in their dysfunctional state without sex being the driving force.

You either want it, deny it, have it, or make it evil.

2. Sex drives people to drink
It is a secondary source. You drink to get some. You drink cause you dont get some.

8. The Hokey Pokey
O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.
-- by "William Shakespeare"


Yes, the Hokey-Pokey is what it is all about.

9. As one of my professors used to say:
"Everything's about sex except for sex itself. That's all about power."

12. Well, of course it is!
Every animal lives essentially to pro-create. It's called the selfish gene theory.

Small snip: Selfish Gene Theory regards the visible organism (the cat, human, flower, amoeba or whatever) as the host. It is like a big lumbering robot whose purpose is to replicate the genes it carries in its cells.

15. Nope. We're all just self-replicating fertilizer units.
We produce fertilizer as a waste product and when we demise, we're fertilizer again. Meanwhile we create other little fertilizer units who produce fertilizer as a waste product...

17. Does "meaning", itself, exist outside of one's own experience?
that is to say, can anyone ELSE determine the meaning of life for anyone?

Understanding and/or discovering the meaning of one's own life, imo, seems to be such a personal and subjective process.

Personally, for me, the meaning of life is: TO LOVE and BE LOVED.

....which, amusingly enough, ties in nicely with YOUR meaning of life, of it being "all about sex". :evilgrin: Or not.

I'm kidding. Sex isn't necessarily about Love, obviously.

But my point still stands. I think "meaning" is determined individually.
