The Meaning of Life

1. the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally. 2. the sum of the distinguishing phenomena of organisms, esp. metabolism, growth, reproduction, and adaptation to environment. 3. the animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual: to risk one's life; a short life and a merry one. 4. a corresponding state, existence, or principle of existence conceived of as belonging to the soul: eternal life. This is a subject that has always annoyed me, an age old apparently unanswered question. The reason for my disdain is simple, people have worded the question incorrectly, the meaning of life is simple(please see above- yes, dictionary.com is everyones friend!), the question should be:what is the purpose,or the reason for life. On this question I have few answers, though google is a pretty comprehensive guide for everything and you can normally buy anything from ebay these days. Why did I post this? What is the reason behind my random meanderings? There is no reason except I'm bored, hungry and lazy and four cups of coffee within the space of two hours is enough to make anyone a pompous arm hole(me and Tara came up with that the other day, it sounds offensive but you probably wouldnt be fired if you said it to a customer-genius!)I shall leave you now with 2 thoughts, completely unrelated both of which my father put to me when I was little:Q: why do bouncing balls never bounce higher than the point from which they were dropped?A: Some of them do, but they all bounced up to the moon years ago(I thought this was wonderful and looked at the moon with a whole new interest for many nights)Q:Will humans ever be able to time travel?A: No,sadly not, otherwise we would be getting visits from the future(logical but sad, Back to the future was just a film after all-sigh)
