Without a "life" to experience life, there is no meaning. Trying to find out "The Meaning of Life" is like trying to pick yourself up. Life cannot tell what it is because "explaination" itself only exists as a product of life. And because we have nothing to compare it to, whether it be the ramblings of our own minds or that of another, we cannot describe it using its own tools. We label things to form a "grasp" on reality but once we realize this, we find that we even made up the very "cliff" we cling to. So if we are clinging to a cliff we made, then we are still falling. To fall is to live. To hit bottom is to die. So, to unfortunately coin a phrase, "Life is what you make it." Anyone who does not want to realize that they are in total control is afraid of losing their control or "grip". I guess it's just important to get used to falling. PEACE. P.S. My philosophy is true to my thoughts. As I can never lie to myself, I can never feel as deeply as I do about the things that I share with others. Be you stranger or friend.
