Topic: Is the meaning of life the same for animals and humans? (Read 294 times)
Definitely not. Human beings are special creature created to rule and have dominion over all other creatures. Animals do not know anything called life. For humans there is another life after death. This is not true for animals
No, it’s totally different. We are made in God’s image, which includes our duty to follow his commands and, among others, to be compassionate and to protect and save the very weakest.
Almost thesame. Survival and reproduction
with my, the thought of life of people and animal is same. They are towards to a best life, the best thing for them. Humans and animals differ only in their level of thinking about life. Animals just achieve the purpose. But people need to achieved the purposse in high leve
What do you think guys ?
Animals and humans can not get a common thought together, humans are also animals but belong to animal-level cap. Can not be compared to wild or pure species What do you think guys ?
Humans or animals, too, want to live and be raised. There are animals that live only a day or maybe a week, which is too unfair for them, as for human beings, babies are born that can not enjoy life anymore. .
I think both are the same. Every life should be deserved honorable.
I do not believe ... the animals live the man survive.
But whats the meaning of life?
Pretty much. The ultimate goal of life is to make more life for animals and humans alike. All this "legacy" you leave after you die has only one purpose - to make your offspring more effective at making childen, nothing else matters in the grand scale of things.
I'm sure mantis and I have different meaning of life. As far as I remember my wife didn't bit off my head after successful coitus and I'm still able to raise my child along her 
Being serious though, I guess we're able to create ourselves the meaning of life since we are able to make decisions on so many more levels than animals and that makes us different.

Yes . Because they are both living and breathing . And they both need to survive to live.
What do you think guys ?
Of course not. Animals live and survive thanks to their instincts. People do what they want, they do not need any instincts. What do you think guys ?
Yes, I sense that all beings that are conscious have the same big-picture purpose.
In my view, we are all players in this complex game of life.
If you ask what's the purpose I think it's evolution of consciousness by making good choices. But that's just me and I'm sure everyone has their own metaphor for this.

I think it is an unanswerable question because you cant be both but in general no. Humans have much deeper thinking process which allows us to reason and perhaps make changes to how we live. Whereas most animals
only have the hind brain which is the thing that keeps you eating and alive. There main goal in life is to eat and stay alive that is about it this is a generalization of course but overall majority of animals function this way.

Humans are actually animals, so my answer would be yes! And the purpose of any animal is to survive and to reproduce.
It's almost the same but the advancement is far more different.
Its almost same but the acts are way too different. Its good topic man congrats.
I dont think its the same. i think most of animals are a lot more activated by ancient parts of brain that controlled by impulses and instinct.
They think less about purpose of things.

Of course not. Animals don't have the same advancement and values as us.
