Meanings Admit it, every last one of you goes about life searching for meaning, trying to place a reason on your existence, to give value to your life.  You may externalize, attribute it to divine force or random chaos, internalize and know you exist to make the world a better place, or just be neutral and apathetic and claim you don't care but struggle with that inescapable restlessness, that lack of desire or goal.  Whether it be God or socialization, people need structure, purpose, direction.  Cause and effect. We look for meaning in everything, And frighteningly enough, we usually find it.  I'm not going to offer you the answer, not going to provide you with meaning.  Because, my friend, what if life is nothing more than a search for purpose?  What I am going to do is post some of the random info I found while searching the net, and you can sift through all of it you can, until you are utterly confused or have dismissed it all, and then, I will truly have helped.  For the farther you are from purpose, the longer you have to search, and length of life has been sought after long before the Fountain of Youth.  Enjoy.

First let's start with some orientating information.  Few of you are fanatical to just read all of this wonderfully creative stuff, so sort yourself into the appropriate category and go from there:
