Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are measured in years and decades. You wither and die. We are eternal, the pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything.

One long series of disappointments. It's mother nature's plan.

the meaning of life is sex.... simples

Life is half-spent before we know what it is. If you've ever read anything for Jeremy Bentham, he held the belief that happiness is the ultimate point of life. While I do agree with his notion, I think happiness is subjective these days; everyone has their personal definition of the term.

Those tend to distract you from the pursuit of the others.

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!

(from wikipedia)

Life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or else because they lack such functions and are classified as inanimate.

It would be a nice quote if he quoted Erich Hartmann who said it on the first page.

Well, nothing wrong with Conan quoted twice.

By that definition, a self-replicating computer virus is a life form.  But that is a whole different discussion.

The relevance here is that 'definition' and 'meaning' are completely different things.  We could all eventually agree on a definition of life, whereas every one has a unique opinion on the meaning of life.

Yes, seems some confusion between the "what" of life and the "why" of life. If people define by the "what" then aren't they relinquishing choice in their life?

[Roma Victa]

Precisely.

Perhaps a better way to phrase the original question is "What gives meaning to your life?".

[Funkcase]

To find meaning, to have a purpose?

[VPJ]

Not very philosophical, but I say do your bumbling best and see what happens in the end.

Life is Defined as follows: "the state or quality that distinguishes living beings or organisms from dead ones and from inorganic matter, characterized chiefly by metabolism, growth, and the ability to reproduce and respond to stimuli"

This is literally the meaning of life

No.  This is not a meaning of life.  It is a definition of life or rather a description of what it is to be alive as opposed to dead.

You failed the joke.
