The Meaning Of Life - Condensed

Really, i look on past posts and i'm like: why is that so long...
So, in what i believe to be the meaning of life solved, i'm going to re-write my argument in a shorter format.

Here goes.

What is the meaning of life?

To answer this, we need to give credit to human nature.
I would argue:
Human nature, is an imperfect nature.
To say, "i'm only human" is to say: "i'm not perfect"

This is because:
All other species, through evolution have found ways of functioning to ensure their survival.
A simple example is reproduction.
Another would be processing food.
Basic instinctive functions that ensure their survival.

Concerning humans:

Humans do not necessarily reproduce, some via choice. Some via a homosexual nature.

Some humans will choose not to eat, for symbolic reasons, for cultural reasons.

If our nature was the same as other animals, then the meaning of life would follow as "to reproduce"

If we were perfect, i would argue, then the meaning of life would be clear and all consuming.
We are, however, not.

In our imperfect nature, the only assertion we can make about this "meaning of life" is an individualist assertion.
The search, your search is for your meaning of life.




It must be subjective and relative for it to follow our imperfection.
(noting subjective and relative, we can disregard both these ideas and make a case for each person "meaning" being both true and untrue at the same time with my "quantum ethics" argument.)
