Make your life a pursuit of beautiful things -- not just in the narrow sense of the fine arts, but also in the more important sense of developing your inner beauty. That, for me, would suffice as the meaning of life. (You might also like to look at the Religion II thread started by Cerek.)
Great post, K T Ong, and I love that quote...
However... Whoooooooooooooaaaaaaaa!! You put the quotation marks in!! LOL LOL
Litereary critics have bashed eachother's heads in with big dictionaries over those two silly quotation marks
(...) a friend to man, to whom thou sayest:
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty.(") That is all
Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know(")
Where do they go? Finding that out is the meaning of my life, heh.
