Besides 42, of course.

      The meaning of life (to you) could be to: “Just be here because here is where we happen to be.”

      It’s not that deep, really. Some people want to have an impact, others just want to chill. I’m just curious what people’s first response is to that question and so far I have seen lots of interesting comments.

    Death. I mean, literally or, to be more precise, cosmically literally.

    See, every living being relies on the death of other living beings in order to continue alive. Similarly, death relies on living beings (a dead being can’t die again). I coined a Latin phrase that is quite similar to the Hermetic principle “as above so below”: “Vita mortem manducat, Mors manducat vitam” (life devours death, Death devours life).

    Death is the only certainty, the only truth, still living beings are wired to fear and avoid it (pointlessly, as there’s not much left to do when the organs of a living being stop working altogether due to inexorable consequences of aging).

    So, no matter how strange it may sound, the purpose of life is Death, literally. The true Mother Goddess.
