What is the point of life, really?

I have been thinking about this today. And I think life is just pointless. We are born, grow up and then die. And there seems no meaning to it all. I see no reason not to go crazy and get incredibly fucked up with drugs and alcohol and die ASAP.

I guess this could be posted in the philosophy section but I feel like it's just my fucked up brain thinking this way...

So I guess what I want to know what do you think the real purpose of life is...?

unfortunately life is all about money not about being happy or enjoying it.everything revolves around fukin money.

 

life =/= culture

CULTURE is all about money...but you can adjust your culture

Love

Learn

Help others

Procreate

Protect

Teach

Try to leave a mark in the world you might be remembered for

I like to think about this quote sometimes:

-Oogway (Kung Fu Panda)

 

Life is a gift. A truely incrediable gift and to the best of our knowledge, it only happens once to each of us.

Therefore the "point" of life is.

1) Take every opportunity to play
Play like a kind loving child when you're a child
Play sensual and be a kind loving adult wuen you're an adult

2) Have Children and teach them to be kind and loving

3) Take every opportunity to admire beauty in this world.

4) Eat good clean food and share what you have with others

5) Always challenge your fears about death.
It's going to happen sooner or later and you never know when. So fearing it just becomes a waste of precious little time we have.

 

I don't know, but I seem to spend a lot of mine posting in threads without much to offer.

 

I guess I feel kind of like this too, I mean I don't really get down on people for being a junkie or something. It's unpleasant that there is suffering because of it, especially when other people are the ones suffering...

I have no clue if there could be purpose or meaning and I haven't really gotten to the point of nurturing my 'spiritual' side or educating myself on philosophy or any other manner of seeking to find meaning or purpose or ultimate truth (esp the nature of good/evil, right/wrong)

For now it is enough that I seek pleasure and aim to give pleasure (ie kindness, hugs, generosity, laughter)

I feel like there was a place I was at, energetically, in the past that was closer to being tuned into the nature of things, but I lost touch with it... There's a whole weird story with that...

I basically have no answer for you but to suggest you not worry about it.

If there is purpose, it is natural and it's ALREADY PART OF YOU.

 

What we are able to do in this life is create temporary conditions for ourselves and each other. Temporary conditions, so our one commodity is time. Time exists, to allow time, to bring it to an end. Learn to use time wisely.

 

...if we knew the answer to that, there would be no point in having one.

 

You have to answer that for yourself.

For Lady Gaga, it's wearing a wedding cake on one shoulder and writing around singing about how great gay people are.

For some of us out here, it's fishing on a creek.

 

To find enjoyment anyway you want to.

 

to be honest i ask myself this pretty much every day :/ hmm not good huh
check out this website .. takethislife.com ..i go on it its good for ranting and things..xox

 

The meaning of an individuals life is to give it your own meaning. Believing life is going to give meaning to you is lazy, and believing life has no meaning is defeatist. Meaning or not, your still living your life, so put meaning into your life instead of complaining about how meaningless everything is. If your life has no meaning then its your fault, and expecting something outside yourself to show you meaning is artificial.

 

Yes.

What do you love doing? When you know the answer to that, try to find a way to spend as much time as possible doing it. That's your path, and that's your challenge.

 

I love weird stories.

 

Life isn't about money.. if the point of being alive was all about money then lions and beetles and shit are doing it all wrong

The point of life isn't anything deep or meaningful, it's to fuck and reproduce and continue your species..

 

It's badgers. Thats the whole point. God made the universe just for badgers.



Badgers.
