Left to its own devices the universe would create more earthlike planets, and more humanlike races, (thought i doubt quite as nasty as homosapiens.)
Does your disillusionment with your fellow human beings also include you, or do you consider yourself to be removed from it all.
I wouldn't destroy the universe without myself along with it, to do otherwise would be missing the point altogether.
"Captain with the ship," as they say in certain circles.
I came across this alternative question in an article on Philosophy Now:
"What is it that makes your life worth living?"
I found this alternative question to bring a sense of relief and direction. Now, I am wonder what suggestions people here might have for even more alternative questions. Which questions do you find helpful as alternatives to "What is the meaning of life?" (if any)
I'm new here - this is my first post. So - thanks and I look forward to interacting.
Meaning of lIfe??
On what basis do you think it is remotely possible to begin to consider such a question. Does it even make sense?

The meaning of life is that everyone must choose the answer to that question for themselves. Not find, choose. Mine is to be fulfilled in making everything perfect for everyone. Perfection is a direction, not a destination, and i hope you'll use it too. Nothing else is worth the effort.
"Why not just go ahead and learn any random trade or profession that pays well, choose anyone who expresses interest in you as a significant other, and become part of a community -- since you can afterwards still chuck it all and become a hermit if that eventually reveals itself to be your life's calling?"
