so you meant, life as the origin of things, not the period when we are alive? :thinking:

 

that is yet on debate, i think none of us will find the right answer because nobody knows the answer, but michael is right.

 

I mean both to be honest. I'm just countering what people say to challenge what they believe

 

How can nobody know the answer but one person be right?

So the point of living is just to get a comfortable death? Then if the inevitability is still just death, then why be alive in the first place?

 

because you don't have a choice.

not at first, anyway. :rolleyes:

Life is an accident and there is no point since a "point" is a human concept. Basically just live and do what makes you happy and be thankful that this great accident happened.

 

We are humans, so it makes sense for us as humans to challenge the point of something. It's impossible to do what makes me happy since I have to get a job to sustain myself and unless I have spent a lot of time working hard I am not going to be in a job that is rewarding in the slightest and it will take up most of my time and I'll fall into a cycle of working just to get by and end up not doing anything that makes me happy and feeling like there is nothing to be thankful for.

If I say no one knows the answer, then that is right.

I think that's a good idea, it's enlightening to have your basic beliefs on life challenged. I used to just believe life was all about happiness and making others happy, but then I realized there is no "point", you do what you choose to with your life.

because you don't have a choice.

not at first, anyway. :rolleyes:

 

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR

No I haven't that was me mocking other people for spurring out clichés in a different thread

 

How about the "depressing" part that you started that post with?

 

I can tell from that thread and your post in it, though, that you're not going to get any kinds answers that you haven't seen before. I'll just give a probably cliché answer:

 

The "meaning" or "point" to life is whatever one wants it to be. Everyone has a different view on the matter. There is no "true," "universal" meaning.

42?

 

...just kidding :wink:

 

But it's impossible to say what the point of life is. That's for the person asking to decide.

cheese-the meaning of life :lol:

Ok then let me rephrase: Do what you can to make yourself as happy as possible in your circumstances, and if you're 100% convinced you cannot be happy, kill yourself and get your misery over with. If you are that unhappy chances are you wont want to live.

So you genuinely think if you are not happy you should kill yourself? So then only a selection of people are worthy of living? Since they are the only ones who can be happy

Well I'm asking YOU for YOUR personal idea.

my comment doesn't make sense as much as yours, because if your only point with this thread is to automatically challenge everyone answer, it means your initial point of knowing the answer to that life question in both senses (origin and alive) is not true as you really seek other stuff, so is a waste of time to debate that, as you only want to waste our time and get us annoyed with you once more, cause your real objective is to challenge us, again.

How about the "depressing" part that you started that post with

 

How is questioning the point of something depressing? It's only depressing because you associate asking what the point of life is with someone ready to kill themselves, maybe fed up, that's not what this is.

I added this to that post after I read it over:

I'm not saying you should kill yourself, but if everyday is just filled with misery and you are convinced you can never have any happiness, perhaps it's best to be "put out of your misery". But then again, I'm not saying you have to, just if that's how you feel.

You're looking at this COMPLETELY wrong. Twizted Logik understood what I meant by that. My attitude in this thread =/= how I feel about life

Well I'm asking YOU for YOUR personal idea.

 

My opinion is that the reason for life is the legend you leave yourself as...if the makes sense :thinking:

 

I don't believe in an afterlife, so I'm trying to make the best of what I'm gonna have here on earth, and what I'm gonna leave here when I'm done.

I chose that scenario though because I feel it is one that genuinely happens all the time, people very rarely get to do in life what they actually want to do, it's true. So being denied the ability to actually do what you want means you aren't really living at all?

Well what are you going to leave here? Probably nothing.

Memories, and my legend.

Your legend? Who are you?

It's because I've been asked this before; it doesn't mean the asker is depressed, it's just an opener for a debate and some mind-opening.

I'm not saying that. I know a lot of people are stuck in situations they aren't happy with. But most of those people do find some happiness elsewhere; family, hobbies, Fight Club, whatever it is for them. What I'm saying is, if a person has no happiness whatsoever and they feel they don't want to live anymore, I'm in no position to tell them that's wrong. I would try to help them figure out something good in their life, but if someone is truly not wanting to live anymore, why should they be forced to?

cheese-the meaning of life :lol:

 

Don't fucking ruin this thread with your retardedness, I know it's hard

 

.

Your legend? Who are you?

 

Someone who want's to do something to be remembered for

 

..Obviously...

How is questioning the point of something depressing? It's only depressing because you associate asking what the point of life is with someone ready to kill themselves, maybe fed up, that's not what this is.

 

Oh, that isn't what I meant. You said that the post of yours that I quoted from another thread was just intended to mock others and not actually answer the question. I was asking if the first paragraph in the post of yours that I quoted was serious. I only referred to it as "depressing" because you did so in your second paragraph (hence the quotation marks that I used).

 

There is no meaning, if we all died now, never to return in the grand scale of things it wouldn't mean a thing to the universe. We are pointless.

 

But if that's too depressing

 

Not blaming you for the misunderstanding. I wasn't clear in what I meant.

Yeah I'm sure they do, I was just saying it's probably not what they would have done with their life had they been able to choose. I wasn't saying they should be forced, I was just intrigued because suicide is looked on as a massive taboo in culture in general.
