What is the point of Lucid Dreaming?

And because this is our only exsistance that is what makes compassion, respect, helping eachother and the other life on this planet, protecting eachother and the other life on this planet so important.

If you wanted to do what you said you'd be wasting precious time.

Cheers. I've had enough. You all can continue to wade around in some half dream fantasy and not see reality if you want.

I'm not saying there isn't a concrete reality in front of us. I just believe something else, because I have personal experiences that prove to me there might be another reality. But in case I didn't believe it, why bother being nice, or helping others or caring about little (apparently insignificant) insects and such things? Compassion towards other animals, for example, is not a biological instinct, hunting them is... And even so, I'm a vegetarian, why should I be, if I didn't believe animals and other beings to have a soul? If physical reality is all there is, give me a point for not just going around doing whatever I feel like?!

dont you believe in anything? all your posts sound so negative and sad and you keep saying how nothing is special and nothing has any point. You should to try to see the joy in life and things and not be so pessimistic, maybe you'd feel like you had a point in living

I am a vegetarian also because why would I want to destroy something that wants to be free of pain as I do? Animals feel fear and all that stuff and don't want to suffer, that is biology, that is fact. None of us wants to suffer so why cause it? That is enough reason for me. That is the point. I even rescue spiders from the bathtub.

No, I don't 'believe' in anything like gods or fairies or such like that. I do believe in having some concern for others and compassion because it just makes life easier but what would really make me happy is not to have to be bothered at all especially with you humans.

I feel like I have a job that, while it might not be the worst job in the world, I actually hate it. I think some of you might relate to that feeling. I just don't want to be bothered.

I want to be rich so I can sit on my ass all day and watch tv mindlessly and not have worries.

Maybe those people in africa should think twice before having kids they can't afford to take care of. Having kids is a choice and I don't think anyone would actually want any of them for parents or that life.

I don't want life. I did not ask for it and I am annoyed at having to struggle to live even if I am better off than some dumb ass in africa.

Don't have kids you can't afford or whatever and people all over the world including the other life on the planet that has to suffer for your pressence would be much happier.

the point is, its whatever you want it to be. as for me, i want to see it for myself.

I know that I'm new and all, but if all people thought like you, this earth would be even more of a hell than it already is. I'm very optimistic about life even though I'm lost in it most of the time. I kinda believe that it's each person's point of life to find what it is that makes their life fullfilling. Even if my mother couldn't take care of me, I would be happy she had me because I would have something to work towards. I would hate ta think that some ancestor of yours worked their ass off so that you could take this life for granted. Any one fond memory or good time is much more than can be said for he who wasn't even granted a life. Reading your posts is even bringing my own moral down. Honestly, I think you should take your negativity elsewhere. And I know I'm coming off as preachy, but as for your fish signature... maybe the other fish is better of without legs, belief has nothing to do with intelligence. Stop trying to rationalize everything, you're making yourself miserable...

Wow, that sounded harsh, my apologies. My first point is, to each his own. I wouldn't say that I religious, but I do have higher beliefs, and I strive to find out more each day. I think that most people have their beliefs not to show they're 'better' than anyone else (though I admit some do). I think most of us just want to believe that there is something bigger and better than all the b.s. thats around us. In that way, we're not that much diff'ernt from you. Personally (I know ur gonna jump all over me for this), I'm sure there's Someone bigger than me and something better than this... I just try my best to understand my own existance...

You are here because your parents had sex. What is so hard to understand?

And as for my anscestors they can rot for all I care. They did not do anything for me. I am sure they were nice people and all that and if they liked life fine, rock on. I don't and I don't like my family very much either. I did not ask to be born and while my parents are nice people, at least they aren't serial killers, I still don't see why they would think anyone would want them as parents. I hated growing up poor and being a poor adult. Poor people, and ugly-man-looking women, should not be allowed to breed. You think I enjoy the torment you humans have put me through just because everyone either thinks I am a gay man in drag or a butch because all the women in my family are butt ugly? I won't post more because it seems I am doing more for religion than I would like.

This is my last post.

I wasn't telling you to blame a kid because he's starving. that's his parents fault. You even said "I wish i didn't have to suffer for my parent's fantasy of being a parent" well i'm talking about the kid, not the parent. There are people out there that have it a lot worse than you do, and you're sitting here on your computer that you had money to buy typing words that you learned with education and you're not dying of starvation or out on the streets beggin for money and you're so selfish and uncaring that all you can do is complain about "I hate my job" "the women in my family are ugly :rolleyes:" " You should be thankful for what you have and since you're here living a life you should be out trying to make the best of it instead of whining and complaining! and i'm sure you're going to get mad and not take my advice but that's not my problem because you're the one who's miserable and i love my life

Sometimes people just get depressed and they have to find a way out of it by themselves... It doesn't matter what other people say, or the starving kids in africa...
