We were born because we wanted to, aye? When we were... *uh hum* sperms ( 
), we fought with millions of others just to live. I say the purpose of living is very simple, to ensure survival. Bahx. Just my thought. Sometimes I wonder why I'm living, and I tell myself:"Because I want to!" But then, there's another question. "Why do you want to live?" AAAH! 
I need panadol.

Oh don't worry. I think me and my arrogance are back with a few opinions of our own. This might kill 5 or 6 minutes.
Ah....Human nature at its very core aspect.
Bullshit. We're killing each other even as I type this.
Actually, I'd have to say that those who actually consider suicide mostly decide not to out of fear, generated by religion and allot of other stuff that tends to change the minds of others.(Once again, just my arrogant little opinion at work)
Now, as for the actual topic of the meaning of life... Heres something I have learned and come to accept. Humans...give things meanings. We are meaning making machines. Someone says one thing, it means another. Why? We gave it that meaning. Does it really mean anything? In pure existance, no. Absolutely not. In language, yes, because that is a human creation that where human meanings can come into play, because they aren't nescessarily bound to physical objects. So basically, every meaning we give an object, is essentially, in its purest form, false(unless it has to do with other humans and language is somehow involved). How does this come into play? Simple. If all the meanings we give entities that do not exist in language are false, then life is meaningless. This seems pessimistic, doesn't it? Well its not. Why? Because there is a loop hole. Life is meaningless. And that means NOTHING. And this assumption is valid, because it exists in language (typed up in words, yo. Words have meanings, because they're a form of communication created by humans a.k.a. meaning-making-machines).
So once again, I state my views on the meaning of life:
Life is Meaningless.
And that means NOTHING.
This assumption has brought me to the conclusion that there is no real limit holding me back in life, and therefore, I am open to infite possiblities. There, see? I told you this wasn't pessimistic.
Anyway, I hope this entertained devilesk, should he be reading this that is...

Right, it is human nature to give everything meaning including life its self. However, you are human, so therefore you have never looked at things from a perspective where you didn't try to give everything meaning. So, until you view things from the opposite perspective, you can't truly judge something's meaning. If you judge that your computer's purpose is to do your homework on, you may in fact be right but you can't ever know.
In additio (and this is somewhat contradicting what I just said): Most use their computers for work, gaming, school, whatever. But your computer does not know why you use it. You know your computer's meaning, but your computer does not know its meaning. Using this point of view, you would need a super human to understand what a normal human is for, and humans can never understand what they are for unless something much, much more intelligent than humans is discovered.

The primal point of life is to be born, grow up, have sex and reproduce, get meat, protect family, fight males and to pass on dominate traits.
Thats my thinking about human's primal point of life.
Today's point of life is to grow up, be successful, have sex and raise a family and die wealthy.

Question is, can you?
Cuz I think it's rather difficult to have sex everyday. First, you'll need a loyal girl. Second, you'll need to have your engine going.

I just think human-kind is a freak of nature. If nature could correct us, it would do so. Nature is perfect in every way, it has invented the best way to move, to produce energy, you name it. The only mistake it made was giving us a big brain, allowing us to dominate each form of live and basically 
up everything nature has made. We're throwing the entire planet off balance, interfering with other creature's food cycle. basically, human-kind shouldn't be here.

It's perfect in everyway, and it made a mistake? I still understand what you are saying, and yes nature does a pretty good job of form follows function, but it seems that as we became too smart we began to kill our planet.

I think Darkfire is 100% correct. We destroy rainforests, we destroy the planet, we kill of life at a rate of 1billion life forms per second. (insects, (no not 1cell))
Although nature isnt perfect. There's pain isnt there? Nature should make pain a simple signal, not an unpleasant signal to ure brain

Dude. Pain is unpleasant for a reason. That would be, if it weren't unpleasant, you'd ignore it and get yourself killed.
Now, as for the meaning of life: The meaning of life is to not die. (AKA, "stay alive")

Nature is a bitch. It's getting it's ass whooped by a group of little monkeys. We can kick nature's ass anyday of the week. Just make a shit load of atom bombs, and make them all go off at once. DA BAM!!! Earth loses. We will too, but that's not the point. The point is, Earth better know it's place before I put my boot up it's ass. She best recognize.
