Lightbulb Newbie Here!...and a little bit more............

Im a newbie here and I know it, but I just want to say hello and good day before getting on to the lengthy part of my post.


Well, what I am requesting has to do with a new book I want to write. The project name for the book is "This so so thing called life" I havent decided on a title yet. What I would like from you is your own "philosophy" on life. All you have to do is answer the following questions the best you can. If you want to add more feel free. Your direct answers will not be noted in the book, unless I quote. What I am searching
for is about 100-150 peoples of all ages different views on life no matter how sane or insane. All views will be accepted, for that is what will make the key of the book. In the book, all people will be noted in a special thanks
section, but your name will not be specified within the text to your views so there will be nothing to worry about. If one wished to be "unknown" then please state so. Also, after you finish answering the questions, please email them back to me at METALIKAT3003@yahoo.com

Ok, here are the questions, feel free to add more if you want, or if have any questions concerning the questions for me, just email me. :::

PLEASE DO NOT PUT A RESPONSE TO THE QUESTIONS IN THIS TOPIC!!!!!!!

1.) What is your definition of the Meaning of life?

2.) What is your belief of the Purpose of life?

3.) What is your defintion of happiness?

4.) What part does relegion/no - relegion, play in
your life?

5.) What do you think societys outlook on life is?

6.)What philosophy do you live by?

Feel free to rant and rave about anything else in your response. My main goal is to write a book that anyone can pick up and agree/disagree with, without having a sense that there opinion doesnt matter. People these days need to be exposed to new Ideas and new methods of thought. Id it stays in the mind, then what good is it, though society may not be ready for it, why not prepare them for it. Thank you.

Peace,

Would you consider that the most contented people of all might be some of those who never even bothered to stop and think about these questions ?

Actually I thought it a fair topic (albeit impractically broad), but my question was serious FWIW.
