I recently went in for open heart surgery. Needless to say, I had to ponder the meaning of life, among other things.

Writing your will is sobering.

I went into the surgery OK with everything.


I think the meaning of life is to live life so you have no regrets when the time finally comes.

You were doing good with the first part, then you killed it with the second.


You're supposed to try and fool the government for as long as possible by NOT paying your taxes.

I think that's what Hitler's expectation of what life was.... achieve all of the things in our world.



Jus sayin.

Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. And, finally, some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their fucking arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment? Bollocks. What they want is filth: people doing things to each other with chainsaws during tupperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats.

Even mutant goats deserve a chance, that's just not right, just not right man. It's not right.

Here's a 'nugget' for you all:

"Meaning" is what we seek when we are not enjoying ourselves. To cognitively process the pain/suffering from not having our way, we ask "why?" - hoping to reduce it's qualitative blow.
The Why of life, is that life is an experience, from the point of view of evolution. THe ability to experience -putting us beyond reflexive bateria with no qualia of experience or memory- is the ability to learn from each experience and develope better ways to 'live'.
Thus, in a properly working organism, positives should always outweigh negatives, with the incentive of 'improvment' to learning.

So, meaning in life is secondary to enjoyment, but necessarily we must all face it because we cannot possible be enjoying ourselves all the time. Meaning soothes and reduces our unavoidable worldly suffering - knownly cognitively that we suffer and retain those experiences is evolutionarily so that we are forced to learn from them - paving the road smoother experiences of future generations.

The "why" of why do we exist is what Buddha referred to as the metaphysical - that is, why does something exist rather than not. We can only assume that life must be worth living otherwise why would it exist? And if you disagree, it must mean you're doing something wrong.

Religious experience magic mushroom

Life is good but sometimes it could be depressing. Well, have you heard about this magic mushroom? It somewhat changed my life. However, Psychotherapeutic drugs could be costly to produce and rather unstable. One study, however, has discovered that the normal narcotic in magic mushrooms could be used to treat some psychological problems. The research found that spiritual participants that took psilocybin, the active narcotic in magic mushrooms, noted mystical experiences and better life fulfillment 14 months later.

Can't believe I didn't think of that one.

I was hoping someone would catch what movie it's from... Hint: The name of the movie is similar to the title of this thread.
