Dear Beth,
Most people ask that question, get nervous, and have children instead of answering it, lol.
I personally don't feel that life has any meaning, since whatever we do or accomplish in life, results in death. To me thats a bummer and I have not yet seen any proof that there is life after death (not have any of you). I suppose I'm a nihilist at heart. But I do enjoy living and see it as a precious gift. Interestingly, I have goals, I get worked up about environmental issues, cruelty to people and animals, and I care a lot about life. I think some of this is because life seems so short, and so precious to me, that I value it so highly.
Beth, surely you're outlook isn't as depressing as mine?
