    All in life which you are subject to gain is subject to loss, so tell me, why do you try?

    Knowing that a piece of chocolate is only going to last for about 10 seconds in my mouth still makes it worth my time.

    People try because it gives them some form of fulfillment to their petty lives, they should really give up on all the bullshit and seek only things that can't be taken away so easily...

    "knowing that a piece of chocolate is only going to last ten seconds in my mouth still makes it worth my time"- i think this principle is the entire reason i keep trying i just have to learn that enjoying the chocolate when it comes to me is not the same as chasing and hoarding all the chocolate to myself. so to answer your question why try. i am here so why not.

    I try because it gives me purpose, and I like to reap the rewards.

    Well if you don't try to obtain food you'll just starve. Pretty simple really.

    Try just sucking it rather than chewing.:D

    Maybe gain and loss are not the purpose of all of this. There are many other frames of reference, many that make all of this far more than merely worthwhile.
