Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

The meaning of life is complexed and simple, all at one time.
According to Terence McKenna, it's a stage of transition in to a new dimension, if I remember correctly.
I think the true meaning behind life would be a lot easier to obtain if Psilocybin, LSD, and DMT were supplied at every pharmacy and gas station alike.
Of course, supplying such things at a gas station would be implying to use in the midst of driving and that would be bad.

For some people I'm sure the meaning of life is to take drugs, but I'd like to think I take drugs to gain another perspective on life.

Life and reality are, to a large extent, in the eye of the beholder. Psychedelics just help you realise this. I've had mind blowing spiritual experiences, but ultimately it's me relating to the universe in my own way- life is what you make of it.
You can make life a beautiful psychedelic dream or a pointless hell. It's your choice.

language has too much sway where it should remain subordinate or descriptive. language is what we are using here throughout. the language in the title is quickly twisted into dangerous syllogistic arguments such as: if you can't pin a meaning to life, then life has no meaning; and if life has no meaning, we should kill eachother and/or ourselves and end this meaninglessness...
I need to remind people that meaning is a measure of connections that a thing may have. you could say a dictionary meaning is simple if there is one description of how a word is used, or what else it means. you could say a dictionary meaning is complex, or that it had more meanings, if a word has several explanations and examples or associated word relations. the meanings occasionally seem like logic, or like intelligent directions, but they are merely lists of other related words and circumstances.
we say we are looking for more meaningful relationships, which means we are looking for more connectedness in relationships, more associations, more pleasure, more depth, more color, more understanding, or resonance...
you could ask what does a relationship mean to you, and you could be crude and summarize it if a few ways, but those ways are never adequate to describe what goes into a living relationship.
then with life, the ocean going in all directions, why even try to ask for a meaning unless you intend to speak, or listen for weeks and weeks, or unless you expect speechlessness.
it is the anti question I think, one that really means nothing; but we do need to ask questions, to find good questions worth asking.

There is no meaning to life, because nobody created us for a specific reason. Life is all about the way you perceive everything. The great thing about being alive is that one day it will end.

lol ha ha the meaning of life is meaning if you cant find meaning in anything then explain how youu function doing anything. i disagree that life is totally how you choose to preceive it because you can have misperception. There is always a meaning wether or not you grasp it.
