Hell yes I think! Would the birds sing less sweetly if we believed in nothing? |

There is a meaning to life. Unfortunately, it takes, on average, 70 years for it to be understood, and by the time understanding is reached it is always a fraction of a second too late for the insight to be of any practical use. |

"Meaning of life" is a faulty concept. Nothing has meaning except in relation to a living being; what does anything "mean" to, for example, a rock? So life doesn't have meaning; life is what gives meaning to everything else. |

If anything, 'neurotic' is too weak a term. Perhaps 'psychotic' would be better. |

Did anyone stop to think that we'll find out the meaning of life right after we die. |

Technically we would be "Neurotic" if we needed other people to tell us there has to be a meaning to life. |

Koshko- that was my point, although my delivery was a little oblique. |
