Life's pointless really, isn't it?

We're all gonna die anyway and nothing we did will matter. I'd rather choose when and how I die than let a disease or accident kill me and I'd be forgotten anyway.

    Life is never pointless because your point then is to make it without a point.

    So even if it seems that there is no point in your life, that was your point.

    My life is not pointless because I chose to have a point, several points in fact.

    Like you, I will die and be forgotten. Hopefully, it will happen fast and by surprise, not a lengthy disease or old age.

    In the meantime, I’m here to enjoy life and all it has to offer. Having children is a great experience and give you a sense of immortality because after you’re dead and forgotten, some of your descendants might still carry the torch. Like everybody else, the first human being is still in my blood and I’m only here because all my ancestors kept having children.

    You have the right to choose when and how you’ll die but I could never do that because there’s always the next rose to smell, the next gourmet dish to taste, the next beautiful sound to hear, the next loved one to touch, the next rainbow to see, the next laughter, the next cry. Plus, who knows? The end of the world might be near and I would hate to miss that big event!

    80% of humanity, the non secular persons, do not want to ask the that technique of existence, the church tells them....the supernatural clarification. yet something else people won't be able to swallow non secular dogma, because there is not any evidence. no man or woman can educate that there existence after lack of life, that people are tortured or rewarded after existence or that there is invisible spirits operating round. i have come to 2 conclusions those days: a million. existence has no meaning 2. existence has a million meanings. First, there's a fact that lack of life and annihilation awaits no longer in basic terms you, besides the undeniable fact that the Earth frequently. that is an astonomical fact that our sunlight will supernova and go away the earth a burnt crisp, no longer to educate all the different extinction element activities around the nook. 2d, the million issues that supply us meaning are the pleasing reports we may be able to conjure up in the course of the fast era we are the following on the earth, interior the shape of the relationships we've with our little ones and persons, and the 'house responsibilities' sorts of purposes. What i mean with suggestion from that are the curing ailment, ending starvation, recuperating literacy, lowering crime, struggling with warfare, helping different sorts of issues. So the base line is, we in basic terms have a temporary intending to existence, to shrink soreness and enhance excitement, except that each and every thing is lost to oblivion. To be or no longer to be? "To be" is temporary and "no longer to be" is inevitable.....

    Yeah, from what we can tell it is pretty pointless. Of course, there may be some purpose we humans are too stupid and oblivious to see. I've tried to kill myself before but every time just would up in the mental hospital. I'm just trying to think about how a lot of pointless things are fun...like concerts, art, etc.

    Not really...there are good things in life you know.

    I don't intend on dying by a disease or accident myself. You only sound like a young kid. You still got many great years left. I would understand if you were old and confined to a hospital bed dying!

    No I don't agree with you. If it's pointless, then life wouldn't exist in the first place lol. Understand the purpose of living and live a happy life.

    You are so wrong. I'm not going to bother explaining to you all the great things that life has to offer because it would be wasted. When you grow up, you''ll figure it out for yourself. I hope.

    think of life as a test for the afterlife, and try to make the best out of it. your only here for a short time anyway

  • Hey, it's not always like that. You sound depressed. I answered your previous question too.

    Even I'm really depressed right now. But hang on and don't lose hope.

    Listen to some music and eat eat and eat!

    You are given only one life to live. So don't waste your time cribbing about it and instead go out and partyyy! :)

    I imagine that dying will be the easiest thing that I ever do; it's how I choose to live my life that's hard.
