There has been some good responses on this topic, firstly I think everyone agrees that everyone has a similar perception on life. Imagine if Humans never Evolved from birth , we would never grow and never learn how to survive on our own of course we have evolution of mankind the most important thing to ever happen to our lifes.
Personally My life consist of Love, Friendship & Health, Finance is not a major part of my life, Of course money helps personally Id rather be poor and happy , the rich and pissed off.
Aslong as I have Trance music and time to drink beer and see my g/f and family and friends im the happiest guy in the world.
Yea just doing what you want to do.
Someone told me once, Life is all about the gain of pleasure and the loss of pain.
...Yea spose
sorry my friend, you're looking for meaning in something where there is no meaning. everything you see around you is a result of random acts and mutations.
think of a rock that falls off a cliff. why does it do it? what is meaning? is their anything to it? not really. its just a random physical act.
think of humans the same way. why did certain certain clumps of cells in the early universe survive and others not? it just happened for some physical reason. nothing more to it.
if your question is why does everything happen the way it did? there's no f'n answer. no one knows or will ever know. anyone that claims to know is an f'n liar. why torture yourself? its just a phase.
if you MUST read something, look at my recommendation in the book thread in the political discussion forum. also check out a buddhism in translation by henry clark warren (i always confuse the guy's name) its classic text that i discovered in college accidently. also really good is the dhammapada , the translation by karen armstrong (if you can get a copy b/c i think it was a small printing. he he i snagged three copies) mostly for her introduction. smile.

Your question negates the answer.
A life truly lived is one where you find your own answers: not where you choose to have faith in answers someone else came up with.
It is when you abandon that struggle to create your own purpose, your own perspective, your own values and beliefs and you simply adopt someone else's that your life becomes genuinely meaningless.
I could give you those answers which I have found for myself, but they are incomplete and they are mine, not yours. Life is your project to create your own answers: keep your ears open but your mind closed! The open mind is often drafty and the isolated one is usually most unique.
Your life is your journey: don't let yourself be dragged in someone else's wake.
As much as everyone elses views and ideas make sense, Im looking at going with Arbiter truthfully. In a way, going with what he is saying is kind of contradicting what he is saying .. I suppose, although im not sure how to explain. Anyway, I do think taking this in as my desired choice of lifestyle gives me the most freedom in life, and allows me to kinda take on a case by case basis. Ill let it all come to me instead of searcing for an ultimate answer. Still, I am going to continue meditating and reading these insightful books. I doubt this is the end to my search, but rather, a break.
