Where do you base your LIFE's significance, from Scientific texts, Bible verses, Media materials or?

from the pages of your Personal journal?








(in other words, are you scientific, religious, social or individualistic- %26amp; you can only be 1 more than the rest)

Where do you base your LIFE's significance, from Scientific texts, Bible verses, Media materials or?
i don't know about others here but i am someone who draws my believes from different fields, i mean i look in all directions. I try best to live a life of harmony, and it takes me to all (scientific, religion etc). The point i am trying to say is i believe in all.


For example: i read spiritual books because this is where i get moral courage to live in this world.


But this doesn't mean i am religious person totally because as a student my subject of study at school was Science.


And also i am looking forward to become a Journalist.





So, i will say one can take bits from all fields, one don't have stick to a particular field.

Reply:Social, then scientific, then individualistic.
Reply:Social life, because how i grew up and what i got to know showed me how to make choices, take the right path (not always).
Reply:From my own personal belief systems and faith supplemented by philosophy and religion and biography's of great men on earth.
Reply:individualistic all the way. I go to the beat of my very own drummer.
Reply:scientific texts tell me the nitty gritty of what's in dirt, the atmosphere, my body etc.


Society tells me that what matters is looks and money.


My journal tells me where I've been.


Only God knows where I'm going. He knows the meaning of my life. If I ask Him, seek wisdom at every step of the way, I will realize my potential and my life will have significance.
Reply:And what can you do to stop me being number 5?





If you need to ask what it is then you can't read my name...








My life has no significance.... objectively speaking.


Subjectively speaking, it may or may not have "significance" dependant on my decision at any given moment to apply said label.





I suppose that would put Individualistic highest out of the four you listed.... then Scientific next ....


The other two I have nothing but contempt for.
Reply:=( Philosophical isn't an option?





It seems strange to me to say that someone could base their life's significance in science. Science is a field concerned with gaining knowledge of the physical world- it does not deal with the supernatural or with values in any way. How could you draw your values from a discipline that is necessarily distinct from issues of value?





Many people draw their ideas about value and "life's significance" from either their religions or from the conventions of their society, but I don't think either one of those is the most prominent for me.





Since philosophy isn't an option I guess I'd say I'm individualistic. I draw my values from philosophy, philosophical thought, and philosophical inquiry. I read philosophy, think about it, and talk about it with other people, and then I come to conclusions about what I think is true, what I think has value, and what I think has meaning. (As a result of this strategy, I sometimes have no choice but to change my mind about things- these inquiries and discussions sometimes lead me to the discovery that I had it wrong before.)
Reply:I base it from philosophy derived from any, mostly fictional, texts, mainly from RPGs but I got inspired a lot too from the book Childhood's End, which is rather scientific... I would first choose individualism then science though.
Reply:Anything that shows promise and creativity in people, from Shakespeare to Pickover.





As long as people can create, life can never be insignificant for me.





(And that includes myself and my own writing though I don't pretend to be on par with any known authors)
