Life or human existence has no real meaning or purpose because human existence occurred out of a random chance in nature, and anything that exists by chance has no intended purpose
Life has no meaning, but as humans we try to associate a meaning or purpose so we can justify our existence
There is no point in life, and that is exactly what makes it so special
One should not seek to know the meaning of life
The answer to the meaning of life is too profound to be known and understood
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life
The meaning of life is to forget about the search for the meaning of life
