42

[Oni]

What is your meaning of life? What does life mean to you?
What is the answer to life the universe and everything?
What drives your life?
What is your life?
Who are your life?
Why is your life?
When is your life?
Where is your life?

[chuckhart]

Why did you pick death (42) for the name of this subject?  In Japan 4 is pronuonced "shi - like - she" 2 is pronuonced "ni - like - knee".  Shini is the Japanese word for death.  It is an extremely unlucky word and number.  When people are 42 and someone asks their age they reply, "Yakudoshi desu."  (I am in the unlucky year).  There is a big party when they survive to their 43rd birthday.

What is your meaning of life? What does life mean to you?  Life means getting up and taking care of what I have to do that day.  It means taking care of friends, pets, my communities, and family

What is the answer to life the universe and everything? God/Jesus make all things possible if we will just try and if God/Jesus feels that what we want is appropriate for us to have.  Sometimes "unanswered prayers" save us a LOT of grief.

What drives your life? My desire to be there for my kids, parents, and siblings.  My desire to see my son graduate from High School so I don't have to deal with his mother anymore!
 
What is your life?  At times it has been a living hell, at times it has been pure bliss, but most of the time it is somewhere in between.

Who are your life?  My church family, my sister, my parents, and my three children.

Why is your life?  Because my father gave up a four year full ride football scholarship to the University of Washington so that he could marry the love of his life.  I came along two years later.  To this day 52 years later he is still madly deeply truly in head over heels love with her.  I am a product of that love.

When is your life? Now.  I can't live in the past, although I write about the past a lot.  I can't live in the future because I have to experience the now first.

Where is your life?  In many parts of Anchorage, Homer, and on McDonald Spit.

Because 42 is the answer to the question. So what is the question?

[yukonron]

    "Six by nine. Forty-two, 42."
    "That's it. That's all there is."

According to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, researchers from a pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent race of beings constructed the second greatest computer in all of time and space, Deep Thought, to calculate the Ultimate Answer to the Great Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. After seven and a half million years of pondering the question, Deep Thought provides the answer: "forty-two." The reaction:

    "Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"
    "I checked it very thoroughly, it's 42" said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."
......
    There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something more bizarrely inexplicable.
........
    There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Arthur encounters a man named Prak, who through a significant overdose of a remarkably effective truth serum has gained the knowledge of all truth. Prak confirms that 42 is indeed the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, but reveals that it is impossible for both the Ultimate Answer and the Ultimate Question to be known about in the same universe (a sort of way to keep the key from the lock). He states that if such a thing should come to pass, the universe would disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable. He then speculates that this may have already happened.

Now on to what the wise cat has to say about that. It is funny that you point out that in Japanese it is Death. Because with that being said. The Answer to Life the Universe and Everything is Death, nonexhistance, and nothing. The ballance and irony all at the same time.
The meaning of Life. I do believe there was a whole movie dedicated to that exact topic. and in the end the poor fish still didn't hear what it was. For me, the meaning of life is to grow in every way you can, to learn to care, to experiance what can't be experianced.

What drives me life. While that's  easy. I DO. it's my car, and I am the driver.

Who are your life. Those close to me, those not close to me. All those that i effect and that effect me. In my direct life there is my House, my Family. Fox, D'mitri, Kritter, my parents my sisters and my brothers. with out them I am would have nothing. I strive to make there lifes better and through that my own. My friends, who know that all they have to do is call and I will be there to tend to there needs. I am my life, my desires and my goals, that interetwine with my familys.

When and Where is my life? When and were it needs to be at any given moment in time.

I'm sick of bolding, so I'm separating question from answer with a colon from now on.

What is your meaning of life? What does life mean to you?: My meaning of life is to have fun and help other people and animals.
What is the answer to life the universe and everything?: Love.  "All you need is love" and all that.  All that New Age hippie crap. :p
What drives your life?: Right now, it's the desire to make something of myself.  I want to look at myself in the mirror and be proud.
What is your life?: My life, at the moment, consists of homework, reading, a bit of the Internet, and lots and lots of Valkyrie Profile.
Who are your life?: Myself, my family, Rosa, and Landon.  It amazes me how much I love Landon...Babies are so amazing.
Why is your life?: Because I'll never give up.  I'll keep living.  There's always something new to do, something more to learn and explore.
When is your life?: Now and forever.  I don't stop living after I die.  These feelings I have now, the love of being alive...it will go on.
Where is your life?: Somewhere between heaven and hell, right here on earth, beneath the sky...and in soda.

In spite of the fact that the 42 thing got old ages ago, this is the most fun question I've answered.  I may even post it elsewhere.

Wow you would think that 42 would be the answer to all of that. but why no one knows. any way I thought about it. And it hit me as I was talking with a friend of mine. The secret to life is something that everybody has and for each person it is different. different as what believe system works for them. It's a secret that some find and some don't. but then she asked me what happens after death, do we sease to exhist go to heaven, hell, come back in another life, what? i replied with...well that's  the secret to death, you dont get to know the answer till you die.


but i figure now is the time that i answer these questions for real. seeing as how no one liked my answer. lol. though i did find it funny that 42 means death in another launuage, and therfor the meaning to life is to die. kinda makes sense when you think about it. sorry for the lack of caps but Fox's laptop's shift key does dont like to work. It has a mind of it's own so I am learning to double hit the cap key. lol
