    yeah like i was thinking.. when the world ends you know the sun blowing up or before then, however it happens. then like we really wouldnt have existed at all because nothing else would of been aware of us existing. so all this would have been for nothing you know? like .. we;re oblivious to whats on the other side of the universe and when planets dissappear we;re not aware of whats on it so the planets existance never took place cause there is no proof of it... fuuuuuuuck. my head really cant handle all this.

    Haha, yeah crazy to think like that isn't it?!...It's hard to think like that and it's not like you can think about it then stop lol..I've tried, but it seems if you think about it liek that, then living has no point (which, in my mind, it doesn't)..People have a hard time wrapping their minds around that..

    Reality is only a condition due to the absence of good drugs...

    How can you not have an ultimate purpose? What exists which does not have a contribution to reality? You just gotta believe.

    my brain is fried at page three but the meaning of life is a mystery, im not religious but i am a philosopher. Sometimes i imagine we are like mice in gods cage. hes doing experimeents, think about it birth defects and the form of energy and feeling, how each is their own.. like what the fuck!!! wow..

    I've never thought about life liek that, then again i've never thought that God existed..Though it's a good explanation of our lives if you believe in all the religion mumbo jumbo (not saying that as a downput on religion, just saying it instead of explaing it all lol)

    Think about it, we only exist to ourselves no one else is aware of our existance and there is nothing else except us (unless an alien will drop by). So, like no matter what we do, we will be forgotten, our existance will eventually never have existed because there would be nothing to prove that we actually existed. But, if i think like that, i realise that there is no point and i should roll over and die already. FUCK THAT!

    Wether there is a meaning or not, i'm going to live my life doing what i love:D

    peace out ma brothers n sisters

    I thought it made sense, but maybe you could try believing in the existence of intelligent life beyond the human form. Spirits and ET's etc.

    You believe in gravity yet there is no way to know what it is... Higgs field? Warped Time/Space.. who knows. But you still can't deny its existence.

    You definitely don't have to believe in any religion.

    Oh i'm not saying not believeing in something for lack of knowing WHAT it is, i'm saying if there's no way to prove it. We know that what we call gravity does exist, yet say, with God, we don't know that. I mean, I could just believe, I guess that would be the point, but it's ahrd to do so when there is no concrete evidence for any of the things you are just supposed to believe and feel..if that makes sense to you guys..I don't exactly know how to explain what I mean...

    yeah i think i dig.
    but, despite there is not cocnrete evideance of life beyond i still beleive there is. like there has to be more. cause all our mind is in our brains. IS our brains. so when they rot and decay we just cant not think anymore. .... im not thinkin heaven ruled by god. maybe a giant forest where we gather and drink tea.. but, then we wont be ruled by reality so it could be absouletly anyhting.. which makes me think on the otherside of hte universe there could actually be planets that are totally wild compared to ours or osmething... woa

    I think we can just not think anymore..I mean, when you die all things in you die. It would be the same as a person with severe brain damage that is brain dead.

    "To comprehend the purpose and meaning of life, one must above all love life and become totally submerged in the turmoil of living...he who understands the sheer experience of living will, by the same token, understand the theory of life."

    Wouldn't that then just be the person lovign life, not to say that all fo a suddent hey understand the meaning of it (provided there is a meaning)..But it is a great quote to get people to love life, and I like it a lot. btu is it saying the meaning/theory of life is just to throw yourself headfirst into to life?.
