Thinking about death...

[Uncle_Vanya]

...not in a suicidal way though. I may be a little buzzed at the moment, but my mind is kind of traveling towards a particular line of thought. What is the point of this life? So far I've experienced my share of both happiness and sadness and I laid out the path for myself which I think will lead to happiness, and thats what Im working towards. But whats the point? Whatever I do in this life on one beautiful or not so much day, I will die, if I make something out of myself in this life I'll be remembered for a few dozen years and then thats it. So whats the point?

Time goes by way too fast, it seems like yesterday I was departing the Moscow airport and now 8 years later I feel completely natural in a setting that due to my prior life experience should be completely foreign to me. You change, you grow, you adapt....you learn, you work, you make friends, you find a woman that loves you (or not so much), you make children, you pick up a hobby but whatever you do in life nothing lasts. So what do you think is the point?

I think your life is what you make of it. It's a ball of potential that can evolve and incorporate experiences and ideas from yourself, your surroundings and your choices. Basically it's the purpose of your existence defined by you.

What makes you think there's a point? Unless you're super religious, you have as much point in living as mayonnaise has in being mayonnaise.

Life's purpose is different to each person. It's what you make of it really..and if this is all there is, we better just make the best of it. I'm not really all that certain that there's some main point to life. It just is what it is. There's not really any other choice..minus suicide..which I wouldn't suggest (except to the emos).

Why are we living are we just like animals living? Why does religion say we have souls and animals don't? Just because we are superior? we weren't always... I wonder I think there's nothing after death which is scary but suck it up.. Unlike the weak who need religion because they fear death... If I had to choose a religion probably Buddhist

I *think* life has something to do with leaving a legacy. It's really the only thing that stays after you go. So I guess that's what I think about the purpose of life; to leave a legacy so you're not just a waste of space.

 

[Uncle_Vanya]

The thing is even your legacy won't outlive you for long in the grand scope of time.

I thought about this earlier...I think 'life' is a giant picture, and from the beginning of existence to the end, each persons life is a small dot that fills a small square. It keeps filling up and up until our existence ends. A big group effort for the end.

The thing is even your legacy won't outlive you for long in the grand scope of time.

I don't see why leaving a legacy matters. I don't really see why being remembered matters. The whole idea of life is to make the best of it while you're here, not after you're gone.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Life is what you make of it, we make reality..

it's hard to explain, but if you do understand make your world beautiful.

i used to wonder and ponder but i stopped when i realised that its just kinda pointless. When we die we will know...or dont know due to the lack of existence. maybe we have souls and maybe we dont. maybe God is real but i dont believe so. such an irresponsible dickshit for a god is just totally beyond me.

you live and struggle in the present i couldnt give a fuck about anything else.
