Default Re: The Myth of Meaning

[ QUOTE ]
The problem is that when you die, your personal X goes to zero.

[/ QUOTE ]

But X lives beyond your life. It means nothing to you... but if your dead, it doesn't matter. X only matters to you while you're alive. But most lives have meaning beyond their own life... they touch the lives of people around them. Some better the lives of many others to come.

[ QUOTE ]
Now if you happened to live forever, your X would remain and something real could be possible.

[/ QUOTE ]

X is real as long as you are alive. Living forever only extends how long you personally can appreciate X.

[ QUOTE ]
Now about the truth out there - we don't know it but we can make assumptions i.e. god exists and thuss life can have a meaning.

[/ QUOTE ]

assuming God exists does not now give you meaning because merely assuming God exists does not give you eternal life.

Your logic makes no sense.
