What's the point in life?
I'm not suicidal but what's the point in life, we enjoy, we suffer. I'm constantly bullied, I'm not great at school and I still have to live. I know there are people dying who need things I have so why am I here? Please don't say god as I am an atheist. Our loved ones die eventually, I'm going to die eventually. So why do we live? Please give me another reason other than to enjoy life..

You are suppose to be finding your heart's desire and doing it. That is the one and only point/purpose/meaning of life. So stop your sniveling quiver-lipping, get off your butt and walk on down the road like everyone else. For most, "enjoy life" means happy happy. Is that what you are thinking? Trying to be happy and chasing happy is an ugly lie and a dead end road to misery. The idea is to like yourself and be at peace with yourself. And the farther you walk down the road and the closer you get to your hearts desire the more you will like your own company and be at peace. And while you walk that road, alone or with others, you get to find real happiness now and then. You are great at something. Find it.

I don't think there really is a point in life. Maybe it just started, and even if there isn't a true reason why we should live (even though there are plenty of chemical explanations about how we started to live) I think we should all just try to focus on the fact that life is a true beauty. Otherwise, considering the fact that our world is purely scientific, there really is no explanation about why things are like they are, we can only know how.

WHAT "IF" IN REALITY, there is the God-factor, which we would be foolish to ignore. especially for our time!
NOTE PLEASE:
*** g82 9/8 p. 4 Can a Realist Believe in God? ***
There is another reason why some claim not to believe in God. Sometimes they use science as a cover for deeper motives. Consider what atheist wrote: “I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assume ALDOUS HUXLEY ( Brother to Thomas) that it had none.” What were his motives? “For myself, as, no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality"
OTHER:
*** g96 2/8 p. 9 You Can Trust God ***
You can trust the Bible because it is totally authentic. No one has ever successfully challenged the Bible’s authenticity. Renowned scientist SIR ISAAC NEWTON said: “I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatsoever"

Well, life, you see, is round, composed of infinitely many points equidistant from the centre. The radius of life is varied, but generally 6.000321 metres, and, from this, one may calculate the volume, surface area, etc. of life. It is wrong to speak of 'the point' of life, when there are an infinite amount of points. Paradoxically, if one has a larger life that has the same centre, it also has infinitely many points, but it is, manifestly, bigger than the life which is encompasses.

the point of life has no true meaning only you can make life worth living and even if the most impossible is out of reach sometimes only the heart can guide you there

You decide. We all have to find our own answers. How do you want to be remembered? What things in the world do you desire to impact or effect change in? What are your talents? Explore these and find YOUR reason.
