Meaning of life IS LIFE itself

[LAOLONG]

It is from my old days, as a philosopher .
In Western thought if you want to
Define A you must define it with something that is not A .
If you define A=A it is a tautology
In Western thought .
So the meaning of life in Western
Logic must be something transcendental
To life itself . You cant define life
With something that is part of life.
In Eastern thought the meaning
Of life is life itself ( sachness )
A=A, and it is a pantheistic view .

Yes, but what does life consist of?

[Boundlesscostfairy]

Anything that youve ever done..

 

Your experience in this moment..

 

Your plans and projections into the future!

Well said! Bravo!

 

This is another way to reach the conclusion of acceptance. Life IS the meaning of life so accept it as it is, not as you wish it to be.

 

Thank you!

I will still suggest that there is no meaning to life.  It simply is.  Because it could.
