I just came to wonder what's the point in living. Do you think there is a point why we all are here? And what happens to us? Why are we just living? What's the point of it?
there is no point in living... we are alive because we are alive... we are too insignificant to change the course of time/the universe... our lives are too short for us to do anything worth being remembered... when we die we just go POOF!!! and decay... +__+...well that's how I see it...
God put us on here to live for him, not ourselfs i dont mean he NEEDS us he wants us he wanted us to live, he created each one of us
instead of worrying about why we are here, why not just accept it and have a good time while you are here? Seems better to me than worrying about things that are impossible to solve.
exactly thats what he wants he doesnt say DO THIS OR ELSE YOU CANT LIVE its like if you do this you will live for ever and a wonderful life
if you be a good person well... you will in a peacful life even if died. because you cant live forever people .dies.
what about those who do not believe in religion? those people have no purpose then? care to provide proof of that?
So... if that's the case... let's say you get married and have children... the purpose of their life is to worship you and praise you? After all... without you they wouldn't have been created. That sounds a little egotistical. Why is it you feel that that is the sole purpose of our existence. From my science background... my purpose of existence is the procreation of children and the perpetuation of the human species. How can this be any different from the other times... it's just a more modernistic view today. From my religious background... my purpose of existence is the procreation of children and the perpetuation of the Catholic church. So in a way they merge... only one wants someone to continuing worship. I've read a lot of Albert Einstein... and he was very religious... yet very scientific.... He believed... "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." He also said... "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty." Moose: "end of times" isn't a new thing.... in fact if you look at history... there have been many instances where the belief was it was "end of times"
you mean revalation in bible right? well .. school , have relationship , married ,have childrens .becomes old.and died. .and if your good going to heaven
For real the Meaning of life is the most wanted answer in the universe... If we knew... well we would be pretty famous. We are all just alive.. and since I am not religious or believe in any of that i really have no purpose other than myself. I am my own purpose. I live to make myself happy, I buy things for myself. We are all here just to live and to satisfy ourselves during this short time we are here. What comes afterwards is what scares me. Im afraid of being nothing.
I have no idea what the point in living is. I don't know what the meaning of life is either, or if there even is one. As a matter of fact, I spend unhealthy amounts of time wondering about these things.
Yea, I'm also afraid of that. Just to think that you won't feel or just live that scares me. That's also a religion belief, because there's no way to go after dying if you haven't got a religion unless a deep empty something.
This also freaks me out. I hate not knowing. Death is probably my worst fear. As much as life can suck sometimes, I'm still happy to be alive, no matter what.
^^ I don't really fear death because if there is life after death then fine it's all good. If we do become nothing there is nothing to worry about, you can't do anything about it you won't feel or even exist so fearing that seems funny to me. You won't care then so why should you now? Hell has never been a worry to me because I don't think it's real I think it was a way of scaring people into Christianity. And because Hell is supposed to just be a place where you live away from God... I do that now. I personally believe that there is no God and even if there was I don't think God would want us to spend time constantly praising him. I agree with Marlene it just seems egotistical. The meaning of life is to live it and enjoy it. Meet as many people as you can and make as many friends as possible. Visit everywhere you want to and try everything whilst you can. At the end of the day when your on your death bed your not going to remember those exam results you achieved or all that time you spent in church you will remember the people you love and the amazing things you did, You don't want any regrets.
This is difficult because I'm not exactly sure where I stand on this. my religion dictates to me some of my outlook on life that I should strive to live for things bigger then just myself. My egocentricity leads me to focus on self pleasing aspects. And (I know, never start a sentence with and or but) of course sometimes I get those days when life just doesn't seem worth it. I guess I don't try to figure out what the point of my existence is, because I might be disappointed in what I find.
