I mean all future is the past, or at least will be. Whatever will happen in my life will. That is since fate exists. Why not just kill ourselves now? What if we KNEW what the afterlife would be. What if it was everything we would want it to be. Lets also consider nothing in this life affects that life. Now if this was the case, would you kill yourself? I mean if you did you could simple go back to your life in the afterlife. Of course the people in it would not be real, but they would act exactly like the actual people. You could also do countless other things. But, what if that is not the case? What if I am wrong? Then I suppose killing oneself would be a very bad thing. I think this is the reason we don't know this kind of stuff. If we did I would imagine almost everyone would see this life as pointless and leave it. I can't really say I hate this life. There are many things I want that I cannot have. I can tell you this though, if I knew what the afterlife was and was what I wanted it to be I would not wait a minute before killing myself. I guess I am just stuck here for now. I don't want to, but I will have to live this life. I just wish I could do something useful before I die. I just don't life living life being uncertain of things. |

Such a complex and meaningful topic. Hmm. Crucible you could say that everything you will ever do is going to fade into history, but imagine all the parts of existence that your life effected, the people and such. Imo we don't yet know enough about time yet, to concede there is only past, present and future. So in a sense, maybe it won't. As for afterlife, well i fukin hope there is one, a life where i can spend time with the people you love, doing the things whcih bring utter happiness, such as eating steak and pepper pies, mmm. |

Well, I don't know if life is worth living. I don't know what will come. I would imagine my future would be good, but I have no way of knowing. What if at some point I end up going crazy and killing 100s of people for example. Or lets say I get a major brain injury and it drops my IQ to 40. I mean if I knew either of those would take place I would kill myself now. If I am to do what I want in life, I want to live. That is how I am uncertain. |

I believe nobody in life is really important as far as the entire universe cares, we're all just like the scuttling of ants. If we die, nobody really cares except say 0.0000000000000001% people or something. Still, dosen't exactly stop you from enjoying your life, does it. |
|
you have the opportunity to have fun, so go ahead and have fun cause all this theorising is doing no good... |
|
Sure, we could all just kill ourselves. The universe wouldn't care and earth would most likely be better off without us. But just because there might not be any external point to our lives don't mean we have no reason to live. Lives only purpose is live itself. |
|
What Stalker said is right, the only true purpose to life is to live and learn from it. If you were to kill yourself right now, you would realize that the ultimate purpose of life is truly to just live, so stop worrying about it, and just go on living O_o |

-Insert more original signature here-
There really is no future, or any past. Future is what the present will be, and the past is already gone and is just your minds memory. To live, is to recognize that time doesn't exist, there is only the present moment. To fully immerse your whole being into the present and be a part of whats going on right now, is living. When you become a part of the flow of life, you recognize everything as yourself. Your individual perception is your true individuality, but everything is One flowing right now in the present. Just be. Allow all life to be, including all inner life and the true joy of the true perception of life as it truly is, will be bliss, harmony. A good way to start being present, is to observe your feelings and thoughts, without judgement. i.e. observe the feeling of anxiety and don't say to yourself, "this sucks, this feeling hurts, I'm so depressed", etc. Just feel the feeling and that is all. This causes the feeling so subside. Remember, we are alive in the moment, the only moment there is. To recognize this and become one with the only moment, is truly liberating. |

Why does life have to have a purpose? It'd scare me more if it did. Am I fulfilling my purpose? What happens if I dont? etc |

I'm slightly confused Lewis... do you believe in fate or not? If so, how can you CHOOSE anything? That seems really contradictory to me - it would merely be your belief that you are making choices. |

Here's another interesting aspect to consider: |

Well, O'nus, about what you said about remembering how you felt. I remember how I felt for every situation in my life from age 2. I have a very good memory. I remember how I felt emotionally while being potty trained among other things. |

Sounds like you are affraid of time cause all we got is limited time yo. To pull of stuff thats makes us feel alive everything else is just nothing realy, life is made up of good moments, I dont know what happens when I die or if there is a god, but I made a pack with God if there is one, I said gimme a good happy life with everything I need to be happy. Ill do your bidding in the next ie: kill demons or whatever an if theres no deal after death I wont be around to worrie. Its just that you have self awerness now you dont realy wana give it up cause this maybe very well be all youll ever know! |

To focus on one state of mind always.
I'd say if you're so afraid of routines and responsibility... find a way to work around them. Be spontaneous, adventurous... there's no point just ending your life for that reason alone. You'll die eventually, who knows what will happen then, why not make the best of what you're experiencing now. It couldn't possibly be THAT horrible? And you'll probably end up changing your view on this at some point later on in your life. Either way... make the best of it, or learn to adapt. |

Life isn't related or dependant on memories, that's rubbish. We all have inner instincts and human natures. |
|
Instincts don't govern that much (or so I think). |

"Ah, but therin lies the paradox." - Joseph_Stalin
Ah ok I get that. And I agree as well. I have the same view. I don't lean so much towards the idea of "FATE" so much as I do towards the idea that everything that occurs is unavoidable because of the cause and effect of the previous events. It just seems like the most logical explanation to me... But at the same time, I don't waste my time fretting about this... rarely does it ever even enter my mind. I just go about my life trying to be the best I can be, always moving forward to achieve what I want to achieve. |
|
I never said I was afraid of death. I don't care that we have limited time here. I have said more than once that I am just sick of life. I actually look forward to death. I'll be happy when it comes. |

I don't know if this thread is dead or whatever but, I think life is pretty pointless. I agree that there is pleasure and beauty in everything but its just hard to find because of all the emotions, and conditioning in our lives that get in the way of trying to really be ourselves. This probably won't make any sense as Im no good at expressing myself verbally but whatever. |

A thread after my own heart... life is nothing but a memory, what're you going to remember? |
