meaning of life interview 2: a friendd
what is the most important thing in your life?
Who knows. Right now all i've been doing is going to school, coming home doing homework, seeing my friends. I've been doing all that, everyday, but that is definately not what is most important in my life. It's important for me to do so that I pass school, but actually I might say I hate it. I have no idea what the most important thing in my life is. I love my family and friends. But I don't know.
What is the meaning of your life?
It's nothing. There is no meaning of life. We're just all here, but we mean absolutely nothing. We're here, then we're gone. We turn into nothingness when we're gone so there's no point. We're just here for now but all in all, we're just a bunch of nothings walking around being robots.
If you think there is no meaning, then why haven't you killed yourself?
Haha, good thinking, I should do that. haha, no. I mean yeah, we're nothings, but we mean something to these other nothings who are here. I'm talking about my family. If I died, they would be really upset. Also, killing yourself is just a way of saying to god you can't fire me, I quit! haha, no I'm just kidding ( I don't think there is a god) I don't believe in killing yourself just because we're all going to die so we should just ride it out and see if anything good happens. If nothing good happens then so what we're just gunna die.

meaning of life: my interview # 1 (padre)
please note that I wasn't interviewing my father as an "interview" we were just having a general conversation:
Question 1 (me): Dad, what do you think the meaning of life is?
The pursuit of happiness. And sharing lifes experiences.
Question 2: do you think that happiness is the most important thing?
I think that it's important, but something has to make you happy right? so, you have to make sure you can obtain those things that makes you happy, like what I was saying before, my kids make me happy... so basically, the meaning of your life should make you happy yes, like my childeren and family make me happy and they're also the "meaning of my life" so they kind of go hand in hand. The meaning of your life I would hope, - wouldn't be something that made you angry or unhappy.
Question 3: If someone is happy being a murderer should that be ok?
Not if they're murdering my family! haha, no i'm just kidding. I mean that's a good question , I'd kinda have to think about it more, but right now I'll say no, that's not alright, I don't give a fuck if that's your meaning of life... that's no excuse to ruin someone elses life. If someone killed another person and then got on the news saying "well it's my meaning of life" they need to get help or die or something. Seriously. So right now, I'll say no thats not ok, not if your meaning of life is hurting someone else.

meaning of life : Initial
This is my (Lilly Torres') blog for Andy's class (the meaning of life). =]
Here are some aspects of the meaning of life, and my ideas of what it is:
- I would just like to get out there that this is very hard to define and these are just some basic ideas.
- It depends on the person.
- A big aspect is to reproduce so that humanity can be in existence longer.
- To try and be happy while you’re here
- Do something that is important so that people will remember you.
- Family to me is very important to me, just spending time with them and being around people that I love very much.
If someone is a Nazi or a murderer and they enjoy their lives , I don’t know, what is someone really supposed to say about that? I mean if they enjoy their lives – how can you say that that is wrong? But I really think that the meaning of life should be something that is meaningful to you and that does not involve making another persons life miserable or hell on earth. Mostly I think that the meaning of life should be your meaning and basically, stay out of my meaning – I’ll stay out of yours. So add that to one of my points.
