The meaning of life is to live.
And to live is to experience. ๐
Not necessarily, living longer could be at odds with experiences like sky diving or bull running.
Are you saying that it's all about how long we live? If so, I disagree. I think it's about how -much- we live.
I don't think that, but saying 'the purpose of life is to live' implies more life is more better.
Then we agree, lol. "Living" more is experiencing more, right?
I didn't think living=experiencing.
How do you define "more life?"
I would define more living or truly living as living the Good Life. What that looks like is the fundamental question of philosophy, but I think a component we haven't touched on yet is helping others. I don't think we should help other people because it gives us a happy experience, but because it fulfills who we ought to be.
Philosophers may question what the good life is, but each individual decides for themselves. There is no universal right answer.
