The meaning of life is to achieve freedom from suffering.


a worthwhile aim, but I don't see what it has to do with life's "meaning"



Suffering is part of human life. Realising this is the first truth.
Freedom from it is the meaning of life, true enlightenment.


I'm not a buddhist, so I don't see the relevance; obviously suffering is a part of human life, but whether or not you overcome it you die, and as far as I'm concerned that's it, so it doesn't matter.



Whether you're Buddhist or not is irrelevant, gaining freedom from suffering and true enlightenment is not only the meaning of life, but the meaning of life, death and rebirth... No one truely dies. You're constantly "reborn".

I'm sure God wouldn't want you to NOT be nice to animals. He even says that when Jesus comes back he'll be riding down on a chariot with 2 white horses or something of that sort.



Sure he doesn't want you to be cruel to animals. But there life is still considered to be less, they're never going to evolve and get into heaven, they don't have a chance at all. They are here to serve. Hence why he will be riding them... He didn't say he will be sitting on the backs of humans...
It's just that darn human exceptionalism that gets me everytime.
