its a logical puzzle for a reason..
lets brake it down into its parts so you get a better understanding..
WHAT - is a question one askes to figure out something
LIFE - is the very reason as to why you are asking in the first place
Question - is the thing that makes humans work without it you can not function and become a rock..
So the what, in what is the meaning of life is the very question of why you are asking it in the first place.
huamsn are AKSING WHY we are here when they forget WHY they are asking?
because THAT is the job "ASKING" why!
so the meaning of life? is to understand the QUESTION not the ANSWER TO IT.
if you know the question YOU always know the answer..
understand?
problem we is.. we do not know what the question in fact WAS
so it becomes QUESTION Vs QUESTION = answer = QUESTION
= Infinity BUT on the flipside
without this WE / LIFE would never have been created.. we ANSWER "the question, what ever it is" just by BEING here.
sounds crackers i know.. but think about it logicaly gets a lot more simple..
and its not just me who have said this.. most religions do say this in some form or another..
i use math and science to prove it.
Now I know your a liar and definitely a member of ATSIS!

I believe what it refers to is money. Bartering or exchanging things of use is universal. but what is money or gold. what use does it have for the person receiving it, nothing really. it has no meaning or no necessity besides the importance man puts into it.

agreed correlation does not imply causation but if there is a correlation there must be some sort of connection right?
The opposite phrase, correlation proves causation, is a logical fallacy by which two events that occur together are claimed to have a cause-and-effect relationship.
