Read Heraclitus. Maybe you'll find your answer there (or rather a lack thereof of a definable answer). Or if you are looking for another point of view, try Aristotle. He argues the ultimate goal or end is happiness. I suppose that could be taken to be the 'meaning' of life. Go to the library and check out Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle if you wan't to hear his arguement. Or you could always go the way of the nihilist...
(/nihilism)"What's the meaning of life?" is a loaded question. This would require a definition of 'life' and 'meaning.' Are they relative or is there an absolute to these definitions? The question also presupposes that there is a meaning. Is 'the meaning' singular, or a collection of many things which comes together into one fufilling 'meaning'? If an absolute answer is sought, presuppositions must be answered. If its relative, then there is no reason for debate, its all relative!(/end nihilism) Oy vey. I love how silly and dogmatic philosophy gets. :lol:
My answer? To find a Grandfather. Year's of playing and that sword won't drop! At this point I've dreamt so long about it, I'm convinced that it will complete, and therefore give meaning, to my life! :P
