  The meaning of life. Can a mere 18 year old (as of 18/02/01) really reveal all? Well, yes to be honest. It's a very easy thing to answer, and has only not been answered as of yet, because people are looking for answers that are more complex than the problem

It's something like this
  • You're born 0 years
    You begin to do cool stuff, like find out where your hands and feet are, you figure out what they do. You also learn how to make weird sounds, and horrible smells
  • You become a toddler 2 years
    You build upon the stuff you learnt when you were but a baby. It's somewhere around now that you learn how to do cool stuff with your arms, legs and mouth. You become mobile, and somewhat noisy, becuse you've figured how to get about and how to communicate
  • Tweenie 7 years
    Your learning continues, but you're more aided. You goto primary school, learn literacy and numercy skills. And of course, the ever useless long devision
  • Pre-teen10 years
    You've moved on from primary school, into secondary school. You learn yet more, and involve things like science and maybe some random forign language(s). You also build upon everything you've learnt to date
  • Teen 13 years
    From now on, everything you've learnt becomes frequently tested. And, apparently, every single year is 'the most important year of your life'. Which, of course, it is... until next year. Each year, the last becomes totally useless to you
  • Young adult I 18 years
    Well then, you're not forced to learn things accademicaly any longer. Although some do, god knows why. Everything you've learnt is essentially of no worth, in the real world. You move on, lose contact with all your friends you made in school. You have to fend for yourself
  • Young adult II 22 years
    Damn, you're meant to be mature now. You're most likely stuck in a dead end job, working for someone else, but never seeing any of the benefits. You're generally getting stuck in a routine, a very boring very dull routine
  • Thirty somethings 30 years
    There we go, you've worked on getting into routine for so long, you're a professional now. You don't know what it's like to do something different, your routine doesn't allow difference in it
  • Fourty somethings 40 years
    You've probabily got a nice house, most likely settled down with someone and maybe have some kids (Who are going through this whole process right now). Unless you go through some radical changes real soon, you've gone up the professional ladder as you're likely to. Your routine doesn't allow for change, so don't hold out
  • Fifty somethings 50 years
    If your kids haven't moved out, you're wishing they would. You're thinking very sensibly right now. Boring
  • Sixty somethings 60 years
    Here we go, looking forward to retiring. It'd be nice to change your scenery. So, you consider moving house. You just sit tight in your job, until you're able to retire
  • Seventy somethings 70 years
    Retired, at last. You've been working possibly 50 years, you deserve this rest. Problem is, you're not as active and able as you used to be, so you can't do all the things you'd planned to. You like to think of all the things you should've done, and generally hate anyone who's currently under 20
From here on, nothing changes. You bitch about the younger generations, complain how you don't like change, and how things "weren't like that in my day". You're drawing your pension, and essentially getting ready to die

What have you done with your life? What will anyone do with their life?
Nothing, life's pointless. You are born, you work for a huge chunk of your life, then you die. Is there much point in all that?

We may aswell all be insects or something, they don't have to work all their life, thay just have to survive. Maybe being a plant would be better. They don't even have to work
