I know the purpose of my life. Love God and keep his commandments. Love your neighbor as yourself. I think man has a cursed condition in that we are led by our desires and they are currently out of control which makes service God and loving others hard. We spend our time giving ourselves pleasure and striving for things that give us fame, fortune and pleasure. Learning to change being controlled by our nature (desires) and life a God focused life is what my purpose is. Beloved144
this is less of a documentary then a bunch of reactions to a question, with some mediocre footage and editing to boot. not to criticize too harshly, keep working at it and make more, practice approaches perfection.
the message below me is what i think the meaning of life is. now the purpose of life and why we have to live it. god forced us to play his game. and we have and need and must complete it. when we die thats the ending of our story or scenario (game like). we dont have a choice. when you suicide, trying to force yourself to die is the end of your scenario. thats how it's supposed to end. so the purpose of life is for us to keep on going, even if we dont want to.
i think life is like a game. you have 1 life and you can do anything in the world! and god made the rules and scripted his game. the physics, the wonders, everything! and the players (humans) are the ones updating the game. updating meaning like discovering fire, electricity, smelting, and all the other things we have accomplished. The reproducing part (having babies) means "New Life" and that i think is the way the game keeps on going on and on! but god will wipe the game out and make a new 1
I think Dina from San Fran has the best answer. A life of servitude has the most value, though it seems to have no impact, it holds so much more weight than to simply seek happiness.
look at it this way, life has no meaning as a whole. but life to the individuals is something else, the action of the individuals effects others around them. its fine that there is no meaning to life because live doesn't need a reason to exist. life simply exist because of trials and errors in the elements that eventually led to life. because of our human nature we attempt to give life meaning, but in reality it doesn't need meaning. simply live people ><
I personal think their, is no meaning to life as a whole. Life existing in this world does nothing to server a bigger purpose. Even if all life is wipe out from the face of the the world, the world wouldn't be effected. Life's definition can only be define by human minds. Because life has no meaning there no answer to the question " what is the meaning of life?" Because we are human, we make up our own personal meaning. Each and everyone of us have our own meaning. but in reality their is none.
or commit suicide I honest to God or god or no God or gods don't give a fuck just forget about this fucking philosophical question created by some self pitying indivual who sucks!

Why i am here what's my meaning of life? To help people to choose what truly right from wrong, and i try not force them into what they dont want to do, giving freedom/ free will to live. I said same goes to you, " what is your meaning of life?" "Why do you continually work everyday tirelessly for a piece of this world even losing your soul in doing so"
Great Doc, exposes a side of us that we never really show, or live by. We are all people. doing what we can. Happening to be Conscious now. Exploring what we are.
@TranshumanCyborg God didn't create conditions (at least the ones your refering to)He created the Universe,included the man with free will.What your seeing as condition is the free will exercised by people...far from the best way but it's part of the evolving conciousness of mankind.At least thats what I think..carymgc didn't answer
the meaning of life i think is devlopment. rather that be devloping your mind, body, and spirtual out looks. ppl are always trying to get better and the reason why i think we do that is cuz we want to be rememberd and looked upon nicely. the way i think im going to devlop into what i strive for is just keep trying and experincing new things.
"I have come that you may have life, and have it to the fullest."-Jesus (John 10:10) "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent"-Jesus (John 17:3, NIV)..... I promise... He is the answer and the meaning of life. You can accept true life through Him or reject it. Today it is your choice. Will you chose life? Much Love.
This is an outstanding documentary. But the meaning of life, sadly, will never be discovered until death...if even then. You can spend so much time thinking about this, but there are no "for sure" answers.
I'm thinking of doing something similar to this. How did you go about getting so many people to cooperate?
@AsphaltClips I just asked a lot people if they wanted to be in my project. And also told them they could refuse to have their footage used if they didn't like their response.
The more meaning you make of life, the more suffering you'll probably encounter. Life is empty and meaningles, really. I live life as it happen, neither expecting or anticipating but not without goal and plan. If anyone want to ask me what is my meaning of life and I must assign an answer to it. My meaning of life is probably the power to live every moment in total awareness of life. Be present to everything and not be affected by anything.
I've identified my lifestyle path as that f an academic. I don't want to be one, but my personality seems reflective of it just the same. I intend to find and disseminate new information for the good of humanity. these people int he video who said "love... help others...be happy" are really saying in a less elaborate way to protect and proliferate the species for the collective. Above my role in society stated above, serving God is the reason we were created, and it is my number one purpose.
I notice a disproportionately large number of attractive young women interviewees. Are you putting male libido above the quality of the surveys? A good researcher should include balanced viewpoints whether they are male, female, young, old, different races, handicap, sexual orientation etc.
The question is great but it seems like the majority of the answers are rather shallow?
Life is a lottery you cant change the life you have been given so live it to the full and be as happy as possible dont sit around regretting and bitching about it of course there will be people better off than you and there will be people worse of accept the life you have and live it!
i think life has no sense by the fact that we died; there's not enough time to learn a subject totally; nobody gets bored of life and no matter what we do we haven't time to enjoy it fully especially that we're all conditionned by the collective values imposed;we generally can't do what could make us the more happy during our lifetime
life has no meaning. when i stop and think about it it only makes me more depressed. love , money power impact on human lifes has no meaning in the end. we live and we struggle through it and then we die . nothing exciting really. i dunno im very confused as of right now and the more i think about the meaning of life the more i understand that there isn't really one. its like we're just a mistake in the universe that happened.
i agree... when one truly thinks about this question, the more you understand that their isn't an answer.. and that is quite disturbing... any answer that you come up with will ultimately mean nothing in the end.. humans do not have the capability to think outside space and time.
I think you're forgetting the key component of the question: personal. Life may have no objective meaning, but it's the personal meaning to which we ascribe it which is of true importance, both in this question and, more importantly, in our lives. It's possible that we are just a mistake in the universe that merely happened, so what of it? What do you make of it now that you're here?
omg !! look at their reaction !!! its like they never ask themeselfs that question !!!! i can't believe that a 26 or 30 years old personn never did that !!!!!!!
my personal meaning of life is to understand why I am here, and to persue self fulfillment in a way that will benefit the world. To become enlightened and balanced between the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of my life. To ultimately understand the meaning of life and come to God :Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. (carl jung)
all of my thinking and trying to figure out the meaning of life has taught me this. Any conflict that has ever happend or will happen has one thing incommon, there is always atleast one intelligence who is trying to accomplish something or is trying to keep something from happening. and the thing that decides what will occur is only the movement of physics, and thats why everything is survival of the fittest.
that's also why every animal goes through the same conflicts: fighting for its life, trying to reproduce, why they share the same emotions like if you hit them they'd get mad. or why they like it if you give them food. it's because that's just how our brains are built up and work. it's all just physics.
the person you think you are is only memory of yourself, your likes dislikes, personality, etc. but all that those are is just memory, that's why theres no such thing as time and thats why there can never be an afterlife, because you don't really exist. It's all just memory. a physical act.
religion cannot be right because it makes you fight your natural urges like lust, jeolosy, wanting to kill someone if you're really angry, etc... They are all just actions from a physical brain that has been constructed over time by no intelligence, that's why the same conflicts reoccure each and every generation, it's because this is the way it every could be.
Ok BUT... what in the hell started all of this . Can you create something from nothing? Magicians try it , but we all now they are cheating... Tell me how something can come from NOTHING. That is the real question , and we wont understand it until we experience it. We aren't programmed to understand it.
It seems all I do all my life is seperate "the good stuff" from "the crap." It seems that's what all forms of life do. Seperate stuff. I guess deep down all we are is a bunch of cells, and cells interact with the world through the membrane, which is a filter, to keep out crap, and let in good stuff.
The Meaning of Life: To survive to see the goodness in the darkness and to engender goodness in those with two open eyes around you; to parry reason for goodness; to value life and the words of others; to extend a smile and loving hand; to tread softly, quietly but nonetheless to speak clearly; to give love, to receive love, to build love; to cheerish internal beauty in this wide land; to give to that which you believe in - but at all times humbly, softly as beacon worthy of a ripple of change.
Many define their life's meaning simply from what they desire. In order to truly find life Meaningful, you must go beyond "personal meaning". To find True Meaning you have to look beyond yourself and what YOU would prefer. Life is not about you. It's about us and it.
I too was very saddened by many peoples answer and my theory holds true for many of this current age. If you can tackle the truth nor understand of prove it, make your own rules and therefore your own meaning.
For many it's pointless to think about the pointlessness of life.
But I accept that I received life, through no coincidence, and I treasure the giver god.
For there is a truth and yet many are incapable of accepting it
woah!! the girl in 3:50 just did it for me, she just gave me the last piece of the puzzle: it is what ever you want it to be, and what ever makes you happy while the perfect ness of this world lasts you, taking in consideration the respect for yourself and the people around you. ;)
learning...on human encounter...preserving the planet or SAVE IT from what we´ve done to it! That should be everybodys meaning of life,specially over there in the white house:(
I started thinking: i just need to have fun without hurting anyone. But then i thought, i want to create too, i want to make music, and have children, and travel. and what about contributing something?, helping my fellow man?. Finally i came up with this:
I want to explore every single possibilty of what i can do in this earth, that doesnt involve hurting anyone, or being unkind.
Life is easy, have fun and do what you want aslong as you do hurt anyone its all good. all the money in the world wont mean crap to you when your gone
yeh man, good idea. I've just worked in Thailand, Asia for a year and planning to go back. I'm planning to go back and I'll consider doing this. yet, everyone watching it needs to learn Thai then :P
I'm agnostic, God I believe does exist though as a supernatural power (still trying to figure it out). Its not necessarily giving your money away, since you practically cannot live without money within today's society, but more of how you USE your money. E.g. charity, helping others, supporting, giving love, etc. Money doesn't make happy, but you do need it. My plan of help is going to thailand helping poor children on the street making something out of their life through football and education.
9 minutes into part 2 - I threw up my mouth a little bit watching this, did you find anyone that was not on ACID? I hope the end is something inspiring from JOHN WAYNE or I may kill myself...
I can scientifically prove that god does not exist and what the point of human life is, this is no joke. I figured it all out. I'm working on a long ass essay, I'll add it to the "Meaning Of Life" page on wikipedia when I'm done maybe in a couple of weeks, it's gonna tell you how there is no such thing as time and all the stuff that people cannot answer with their stupid religions.
I really like your attempt to make people think about their convictions, and it is very interesting to see the outcome. How about doing something like that regarding ethics?
A simple & effective way of sharing basic thoughts, feelings & values held by most. I don't mean simple in the technical sense, as this video (pts 1&2) obviously took time, effort & editing. A truly eye opening & uplifting experience. I should tell you that I intend to imitate the project. In fact, I think that everyone should, in order to both understand themselves and the other souls that surround them during their mortal lives. TRULY SUPERB, BRAVO!
i love this...bt what really comes across is the number of people who barely give it a thought in their daily life..and the similarities between what the people who do think about it say
Since I don't know of a supernatural meaning,my person meaning of life is to pass on my genes, if possible, help with evolution of our species, and know as an individual the meaning of life is the meaning I give it.
I admire the way you capture your guests thinking and grasping for a coherent answer to a complex question. You're my favorite YouTube director, you always make me think. Nice job Jon, love your work!

I guess deep down all we are is a bunch of cells, and cells interact with the world through the membrane, which is a filter, to keep out crap, and let in good stuff.

What's the meaning of life?
Just torture yourself until you're so depressed you want to die, then you'll know the answer.

The Meaning of Life: To survive to see the goodness in the darkness and to engender goodness in those with two open eyes around you; to parry reason for goodness; to value life and the words of others; to extend a smile and loving hand; to tread softly, quietly but nonetheless to speak clearly; to give love, to receive love, to build love; to cheerish internal beauty in this wide land; to give to that which you believe in - but at all times humbly, softly as beacon worthy of a ripple of change.

Many define their life's meaning simply from what they desire. In order to truly find life Meaningful, you must go beyond "personal meaning". To find True Meaning you have to look beyond yourself and what YOU would prefer. Life is not about you. It's about us and it.

It seems like for the most people today the purpose of life is to eat have fun and sleep. For my ancestors, it was quite different.

I too was very saddened by many peoples answer and my theory holds true for many of this current age. If you can tackle the truth nor understand of prove it, make your own rules and therefore your own meaning.
For many it's pointless to think about the pointlessness of life.
But I accept that I received life, through no coincidence, and I treasure the giver god.
For there is a truth and yet many are incapable of accepting it

woah!! the girl in 3:50 just did it for me, she just gave me the last piece of the puzzle: it is what ever you want it to be, and what ever makes you happy while the perfect ness of this world lasts you, taking in consideration the respect for yourself and the people around you. ;)

I started thinking: i just need to have fun without hurting anyone. But then i thought, i want to create too, i want to make music, and have children, and travel. and what about contributing something?, helping my fellow man?. Finally i came up with this:
I want to explore every single possibilty of what i can do in this earth, that doesnt involve hurting anyone, or being unkind.

It's a combination of all those factors and the apparent fact that "attractive" people are more likely to agree to be filmed.
Castaa 4 years ago
interesting you say that...an inherent bias on the filmmaker or the fact that more "attractive" people like displaying their own vanity? or both?

I'm agnostic, God I believe does exist though as a supernatural power (still trying to figure it out). Its not necessarily giving your money away, since you practically cannot live without money within today's society, but more of how you USE your money. E.g. charity, helping others, supporting, giving love, etc. Money doesn't make happy, but you do need it. My plan of help is going to thailand helping poor children on the street making something out of their life through football and education.

I can scientifically prove that god does not exist and what the point of human life is, this is no joke. I figured it all out. I'm working on a long ass essay, I'll add it to the "Meaning Of Life" page on wikipedia when I'm done maybe in a couple of weeks, it's gonna tell you how there is no such thing as time and all the stuff that people cannot answer with their stupid religions.

I really like your attempt to make people think about their convictions, and it is very interesting to see the outcome. How about doing something like that regarding ethics?

Thanks. I'll keep that idea for consideration. What type of ethical systems?

A simple & effective way of sharing basic thoughts, feelings & values held by most. I don't mean simple in the technical sense, as this video (pts 1&2) obviously took time, effort & editing. A truly eye opening & uplifting experience. I should tell you that I intend to imitate the project. In fact, I think that everyone should, in order to both understand themselves and the other souls that surround them during their mortal lives. TRULY SUPERB, BRAVO!

Since I don't know of a supernatural meaning,my person meaning of life is to pass on my genes, if possible, help with evolution of our species, and know as an individual the meaning of life is the meaning I give it.
