Why do humans care about life?

we don't know what there is or isn't outside of and beyond this life, but we damd well know, however much we may try to deny it, that as long as we are alive in it, what we make of this world we are all living in, is what we're damd well going to have to live with as long as we do.

Dam yes

 

that really makes a lot of sense.
i mean, we care about life bc we're living in it.
right now, tommorrow and yesterday.
life is all we have, if you think about it.
i mean i'm not dead set on a religion.
i was raised to think for myself.
luckily i have had the oppurtunity to experience many religions.
before i found my true calling.
i believe in many different things.
and since i have put one and one together,
life is about living it until it's gone.
why bother with the afterlife.
who's to say it really exists?
so, who's to say that our "fun" is limited to.
chase your pleasures.
"break on through to the other side".

(i'm listening to that right now)
thought that was conspiscious, lol.

 

That would basically an absurdist position. An absurdist positiong is essentially an all or nothing position with no value judgements. The problem is that every breath you take and second you stay alive you are essentially making a value judgement. If life is pointless everything is pointless, that would include death.

 

Yeah I get the feeling that since ima die eventually that nothing really matters, after it happens i mean. When life is happening, the only things that matter is happening in life itself. It's just depressing for me just thinking of death in general. I really wish i could live to be like 300. No joke if i had 1 wish it'd be that. My second wish would be to be rich.

 

how can i tell if ive properly consiously evolved? am i crazy?

 

my purpose is to be famous lol

 

If we would prefer to not be killed by others, than it is imperative not only to not kill our fellow brothers and sisters, but to respect them to the best of our ability.

All undue negativity cast upon others shall be returned to you. I truly believe that is true in this universe.

We're all linked in a spiritual way, so doing harm to another is actually doing it to yourself in a way. A lack of understanding of this, and the western emphasis of the "other" is the biggest problem the world faces. It is the reason so many are so selfish, and why we all suffer so much.

When Jesus said "turn the other cheek", it was the greatest advise we could have asked for and if we all followed it, we would all be living in complete paradise in a few years.

I do think the transformation would be that quick, and also that as a species we are headed in that direction. Don't ask me for proof, I have none. It's just a feeling that our global consciousness is rapidly expanding and soon we will all get wise to this information.

 

Not really paradise if you're only one of the few that live by that though. I get what you're saying, but it's really not going to work like this.

 

Answer to question:
Because as another species on earth, we strive to survive
that means competition with others as well as basic instincts transformed through ego and consciousness to complex engrossing lifestyles

I think we are as simple as any other species, we need to eat, we need shelter and we want to be better then everyone else
Its natural selection taken to the extreme, in a form that is so complex that our lives revolve around it
looking the best
(we are all just flesh and bones, what does a few more pixels of body mass seen through our eyes amount to in terms of efficiency at living, and yet being a few pounds overweight can plummet someone into depression or constant dissatisfaction)

Succeeding
-how much you have
-what people think of you
We glorify the idea of being wealthy but at the end of the day, you can only sit in one chair at a time

Besides all that nonsense, I don't know why we take life so serously

 

chugtonio i agree, my conclusion is there is no point "it is what it is"
