Meaning of life

[cd20]

I believe the author has a right to her viewpoint. She also expresses strong belief about other issues as well. For instance, she expresses her feelings about the rooster which she took diligent care of till it died. As for me though, I believe that the meaning of life goes beyond creating, it encompasses much more.

You are right, the author has every right to her viewpoint. It is her book and she can say what she wants. I do believe that part of life is creating, but like you, it also encompasses so much more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I definitely agree with the author's statement that meaning of life is to create. Just imagine how would you feel if something very original comes out of you. It can be book, idea, invention, game, device or software or anything that till now has not existed in the world but came to light only because of you. Trust me it would be one of the best experience that you are going to ever have in your life. The purpose and meaning of life lies in creating something new.

We are constantly creating things, posts, emails, texts, new memories, etc., so I do agree that part of the meaning of life is to create. I am not sure that everything we create is new, or that it even has to be. It would be wonderful to create some new invention or book that no one else has, but I do not believe that is everyone's purpose. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

I agree with the author, but only if we don't use the most literal definition of "create." Some would take that to mean we must procreate or we must create something solid. I don't think that is the case. I think that if we even just create happiness in others, that's the meaning of life. You don't have to create something tangible, you just have to affect one other person's life.

That's very wise. I was going to say some people are creators and others are not. But you're right, we all create, whether it's little ones, art, ideas, or smiles. What a lovely thought, thank you.

I can see how one meaning of life would be to create. However, I think with so many lives, there must be multiple types of meaning for life. For some people meaning is derived from creation, for others inspiration, or caretaking.

[Kiara Mae Gutlay]

Yes I agree that the meaning of life is to create, to create purpose out of our mere existence, to create joy, goodness, journey and inflicting emotions. The ability to create makes us human because it is only this way that we are able to explore ever thing that is given upon us.

Yes, one meaning would be to create, but I believe life is more than that too. We are constantly creating, but as you said, some people find their meaning from other things as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I agree, we are constantly creating and that is part of the reason we exist. I do not think we can exist without creating something. I do believe there is more to just creating, but it is part of the meaning of life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts

I found the meaning of my life when I discovered reading and writing. It became a kind of religion for me. I don't know if Life in general has any meaning other than the unique expressions and relationships of all life forms that create a kind of cosmic library owned by? I guess that would be God.

[Sara chhawniwala]

I agree with the author. Life would be meaningless without purpose. The purpose is to create. Be it relationships with others, creating something for ourself or just creating a better life for our family. Life depends on creation of things both big and small.

I think part of our meaning of life is to create because we are constantly creating something. What do you see as your meaning of life? I do like that you feel like you found the meaning of life when you discovered reading and writing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I also believe that part of our meaning of life is to create. I agree that we are constantly creating something, rather tangible or intangible. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I agree with the author. Everything there is in life is definitely as a result of what man creates and this gives meaning to life. Man has a big influence on what goes on around him because everything is as a result of his creation.

if by quoting the creation story the author means procreation then i would respectively disagree. Because interactions between humans plays a big role in the growth of modern society and with that humans are tasked with creating an harmoniuos environment for all to live in

I had not thought of it that way either, but yes, everything is a result of something that has been created. Thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate you commenting and sharing your thoughts.

When I very first read her comment, I thought she did mean to procreate, but I don't actually think that is what she meant, or all she meant. We are constantly creating something. I wish everyone felt that humans were "tasked with creating a harmonious environment for all to live in" because things would be so much better! I see your point. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
