Seriously, what is the point in life we all die anyway ?

It's fun.

You can't give everything up. I feel like you do, but I know that you only live this life. Yes, you will die after this, but everything you do still matters. Even though you will die eventually, you still will only experience the things you do a few times, or just once, and then never again. We are too intelligent for our own good. You just have to be happy with what you have, even though you have these negative thoughts eating away at you. Let me put this much more simply: Do you want to live your life happily and then die in peace, or do you want to spend your life wondering why everything is the way it is and mentally exhaust yourself, live alone, stop eating or exercising and die exhausted, crazy, confused, and miserable? I wasn't even trying to make it sound bad. If you think like this and let it overwhelm you, believe it or not, this is how your life will be. People say to be happy and just enjoy it because they already know this, and yet you push it away and insist on being negative and stubborn. Yes, you will die in the end, but when you die, it's all over. Yet when you live, and while you are alive, endless opportunities are available to you. I truly hope you understand me, and please know that I have had this same issue, but I knew better. I am passing my knowledge to you. Don't shove it away.

The answer is that being alive gives you to the opportunity to have multiple levels of exploration. First there is the internal exploration. You know what, I'm not going to waste my time with that answer. It is not about what I or others think about regarding why having people around us who we love and care about is important. It is not about why we believe education is a triumphant activity that helps us internally and can be shared externally. It is not about how having a certain level of wealth makes our lives easier and if you are good allows you to help other people. In this conversation it is not about how those things nourish you as a person and give you a certain level of comfort and solace.

The question is not why everybody feels like this (which is not true), but why do you feel other wise. I think in your head you keep saying what is the point to all that and then stop. Maybe you can't see down the road being old and seeing how you have been what I hope is a good influence on others. To do things in some small way that allows you to leave the planet a little better than you found it.

None of us on Yahoo answers has the capacity to change that conversation in your head away for looking at life as being just some useless activity. I'm sad now because it is not a useless. It is sometimes hard and painful and joyful and spectacular. We do it because we are not a bunch of freaking punks. We are not afraid of life or think it is worthless to us or the people we come in contact with.

So in the end are you a big chick sh&! and a coward afraid of embracing life and all the ups and downs and loves and losses that go along with it, or are you a person who is just looking for a way to make the pain and the thought of the finality of it all just get over and done with! You have to decide which you are and stop making excuses. But understand this, dying makes it easier for the person who is dead. What it does to all the people he or she knows is hurts them. I do believe in choice, but I choose life!!!

Looks like you have got nothing to loose. Do something outrageous, spontaneous, exciting. Move to Mexico or some sub saharan county and help out. So what if their is no point. There probably isn't so just get the hell out of where ever you are now and just do something everyone thought you would never even think of. Try it. Don't think, just do.

So, would you rather spend your whole life sat in a hole waiting to die just because... "We're all gonna die anyway"?! Enjoy life! You don't need to believe in some big purpose/plan or reason to enjoy life... you could be sat in a hole worrying about that, telling people not to bother, or you could have a fun day, do the things you enjoy, get the most out of life.

Yes we all die... but we all live as well, and we only live once... surely that's enough reason to make the most of it while you can? What could worse than a life of wasted years, nothing lasting, nothing true, nothing dear?!

People bother... because every single person wants to be happy, they go through education, jobs, friends & love because they want to be happy, and so do you, if sitting in a hole wondering why everybody bothers makes you happy, knock yourself out, but me? I wanna live!

And also, not forgetting that some dude gave his only son to die... purely so that you could live... a little selfish not to after the sacrifice he made really.

What is the point of life? This is an age old question that has no definitive answer. Most people who are not misanthropists would argue that the point of life is the pursuit of happiness. As human beings, we look to have a happy life, content with how it is going and having a life goal to reach. An excellent example of what we as humans require is found in Maslow's hierarchy of needs psychology model;

I know, I feel exactly the same way, and honestly, I have no idea. I guess it's supposed to be a gift or whatever, so maybe you should treat it like that. Do whatever the heck you want, and just enjoy yourself.

I've asked that question myself. But then I thought, who cares? Why does there need to be a point to life? You may as well live it and have fun while you have it.

why does there have to be a point.....accept the fact that it JUST IS........accepting that fact you now have a choice.........you can go thru said life miserable with your head down saying what is the point of it all why love if i will just lose it living out your sad existence making everyone around you sad or......you can just appreciate the time you have and make the most of it.........live the fullest life you can........be the kindest.....most generous person you can be.......go rock climbing or white water rafting.....get married and love your spouse like no other person could ever love them.......and when your life is over you will go with a smile.........and know you did all you could with the time you had

I always think the same.

I always think at the end of the day what is the point? Why did we get out of bed to go to work/school? Why did we go the the shop and get that top? Because what are we actually working for? Money? And what are we actually spending that money for? A top? We're going to die anyway.....

Wow i'm so pessimistic... (However yo spell it) =]

That is the existential question.

The point is that you can make your experiences and your life transcend time. That is the true meaning of 'eternal life' or 'life in the heavenly sphere'. Not life that goes on forever. Otherwise, there is no point, except passing pleasure.
