I like the explanation given on Babylon 5.
The universe itself is alive and aware and we are the universe trying to
understand itself.

Subject: RE:Life Is But A Dream ( hitch hikers guide to the galaxy :: 3
questions)
| What do I think is the meaning of life?
| Well first we must define life..and that we cannot really do, because we
are
| unable to fathom its essence, but let us hypothesise:
|
| A cat or a dog is "alive" because we say so.(Yet we make a clear
distinction
| supporting our own superiority, that they are not 'Sentient')
|
| This is proven in many works of fiction. An Android, purely robotic being,
| can be granted the status of 'alive' or 'human' (and is not being human
| synonymous with Life and Alive as we define it?) simply by agreement or
the
| passage of a law.
|
| Therefore, doesn't it tend to reason that the notion of life we have now
is
| a purely human construct?
| ("It's Life , Jim..but Not As We Know It..")
|
| What if Life Is But A Dream?
| Think about it?
|
| We Row down the stream of Experience and Memory and we say we are
| alive...but that stream eventually emtpies into a river..which eventually
| reaches the sea.
|
| I propose that it is the SEA that is life, and is something we only truly
| experience in death,
| when we can no longer row our boats.
|
| Thank you.

| Gel, do you really think the answer is 42? really??
| Actually, I take back any answer I gave in the past. The real meaning of
| life is:
| "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the
| lamentations of their women!"
| But then again, life is what you make it and the answer has meaning to one
| person alone, you.
