The meaning of life.

[Jack]

The very utterance of this statement springs familiour to most peoples minds.
Everyone has heard it at some stage, im guessing that even the native indegenous people who are blessed with a lack of technoligy also contemplate this.

Would it be rude to say that the answer to this question is very simple? Does a rabbit who is eating grass in a field need to ask this question, is it actually relevent? - isnt its very presence answering it?

Its something that i often wonder, i hear this all the time and its often the butt of jokes in many television programmes. And its even mentioned many times in religion. And the thing that beggars belief is the shroud of mystery that is always accompanied with it. You all know the scene, its the end of a cartoon and someone is talking to god and they ask "what is the meaning of life" then god replies with a pat on the head ; "well son.." and the program ends. And then you will hear me shouting at the television with my seemingly very simple answer.

For a question that is so often asked and so shrouded in mystery, it feels somewhat pompus to assume i have the answer. Because anytime anyone asks this question in my presence with such awe and wonder i feel privlidged to think that the answer to this awe inspiring question is so simple, of course i dont dare to answer it, because c'mon, only god knows the answer.

Isnt the meaning of life to experience life? Even the very action of pondering it seems to be a waste of time and feels somewhat irrelivent, its late now, and i ask strange questions when im tired.

If the answer is so simple (is it?) then why does mainstream television handle it in the same manner as if one was asking "what colour is gods left nipple" - A question that truly is mysterious.
