1. Love. Pain. Light. Hope. Darkness. Beauty.
I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling that some of those are at least part of what it's all about... :shrug:

16. Touching, and yet still had that zany Baz touch. :)
Or as one of my exes put it "That movie should win a special Oscar for 'Best Unexpected Nirvana Song'." :)

4. Because...
Because we exist, we are meaningful. Because we are meaningful, we exist.

9. The mere fact that we exist....
Edited on Tue Jan-22-08 11:16 PM by philboy
makes us meaningful. Our deeds during our lives can then make us perhaps not "more" or "less" meaningful, but rather, "differently meaningful" than if we merely existed without doing much of anything else.

edit: added :hi: hiya Parche

5. I ask those questions every day.
Sometimes I think life is worth living and we have so much to live for and sometimes (probably most times) I think life is meaningless and we all just live and die.

I struggle with this quite often.

11. what is best in life?
to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women.

14. 1) The absence of death. 2) Because we're not somewhere else. 3) Who said it was meaningful?
