    maybe it's the depression or the meds or the craziness i've been through.. but i really see no point to my life. this disturbs me. i've been trying to find some meaning to it all.

    whats the meaning to yours? whats the meaning to life in general?

    i don't look for meaning in life. i figure i'm here, i won't be for long, and i won't be again. so i just try to have the best time i can while i am here

    perhaps you need to think a little outside the brain...
    what do you mean to the people who love you? or your three beautiful children...i dont know about you but im betting your life has a lot of meaning...

    yeah. just feel pretty shitty cus none of my kids are living with me at the moment. kinda makes me feel not needed. i seriously walk in circles some days not knowing what to do with myself.

    i'll probably go sit in the park and people watch for an hour or two tomorrow. i just want the blank feeling to go away and to be filled with something again.

    Maybe you could kidnap somebody else's kid and put em in the cellar? That always makes life more meaningful :)

    hobbies are good. get a dog? walk your dog, train your dog.. pick up a guitar and play? read a good book? sometimes when you're thinking too much, and thinking negatively, you have to just do something to free your mind and put your attention elseware. i hope you feel better. i always find myself caught in these, 'what the fuck am i doing with my life' traps.

    truth is, I don't think there is a 'meaning to life' but to enjoy it, find out what you like, and spend your time doing that.

    There is no overall meaning to life, just what people actually mean to you and what you mean to them. I think it's called LOVE.

    I'm sure that your kids are thinking of you just as much as you are of them. So give yourself a goal, aim towards when you are going to see them again. That will give you something 'meaningful' to look forward to.

    Sounds like you need to set yourself some goals. Start small.

    The meaning of my life at the moment is to wait until we go to war.

    Then should that happen I will fight on the battlefield gloriously and die, thereupon I shall be lead to Valhalla and become one of the einherjar :)

    the phraise "meaning of life", mine or anyone else's, is itself, an intrinsic nonsequiter.

    life is life and meaning is meaning and never the twain shall meet.

    I was sent by the god Shiva to smoke as much charas as possible, and to chill out and spread love and happiness.

    A thing I love to wonder about. After few years of active thinking i came up with this answer: the meaning of life is to reproduce that is to have children find someone to spend your life with and then keep in contact with your offspring and be a happy family.

    Wich you've done however human is a pack animal and usualy not happy without the pack, what happen to your husband(mate) if i may ask?

    you could ofcourse make up a new goal in life or try to live through your kids. (not recommended)

    maybe go travelling, start a garden grow some nice plants, find a new guy fall madly in love and make more kids.

    Religion is an answer to some wich i as an atheist see as just an escape however if that makes you happier why not.

    why not try and live a day at a time =) enjoy everything as much as you can be spontanious do whatever you wish to no matter how silly or crazy it seems. if you dont like your job quit it. find something you like no matter the pay. Dont think at all about tomorrow or yesterday. Ignore the laws and the norms just do as you like. hopefully without hurting anyone else

    LIVE!!! best wishesh to you and sry if i sound bit cold sometimes i do mean the best.
