Langbein said:Some people ask about "the meaning of life".
But what does it then mean that one's life or "anything" has a "meaning" ?
But what is then the meaning of the meaning, and why is meaning such a good thing to have ? Why isn't the condition of "no meaning at all" bether than the condition of "having a meaning" ?
What is then meaning ?
Nietzche speaks about the new meaning about everything and why values have to be reorientated and rechoosed or reevaluated, but I can not see that he give any arguments why there should be a meaning at all ?
What is "meaning" and why is "meaning" such a good thing, and why is not "meaningsless" or "freedom from meaning" a more preferable condition ?
If "meaning" should be something importent or preferable is it then a good idea to live ones life without knowing what meaning is, or why it is important ?
The simplest of answer is that Life must have a meaning because a meaningless life is simply not worth living. Try to think and act senselessly or non-directionally and you'll probably appreciate precisely what I am getting at here.
