The point of it all?

Post Reply New Topic

great.....
the point of life is to be a servant!

what a rip off!
I want more out of life.

I want minions to do my bidding.
I want to be a Pokémon master
I want to be a porn star

you seem to be missing the point.
I picked porn star because it's the most vacant, trite occupation I could think of next to being a male model.

My life has no meaning to it whatsoever, and choosing that as a job, would be the perfect expression of my emptiness

lovely, just lovely!

Meaning is a feeling that gets created inside your head. Outside there are only the motions and processes of nature of which we are all a part of. Maybe this seems depressing, but there is no rational reason for it to be so.

Even if there was some greater purpose by what standard could that purpose be considered more satisfactory than what you are experiencing here and now? If we can’t find purpose for ourselves here on earth, than what makes us think that an afterlife will be any more meaningful?

The whole notion that in order to have purpose there has to be something greater than existence itself is logically incoherent. If there was something greater than existence than what would we call it? It would have to be some other higher plane of existence, but then that plane would require its own purpose from some higher plane yet. And so on ad infinitum. Even if there is a God what is his purpose and what makes that purpose greater than your own purpose?

You see its all meaningless head games we play.

My personal opinion...

Might as well hold on to your quarter and it least see how it all turns out in the end. You wouldn't want to miss out on something good now would you?

What is the meaning of life?
There is none

Why am I here?
Because your father got your mother pregnant

Where did I come from?
A cell

What is the nature of reality?
Reality is a delusion

What is the purpose of life?
People make their own purposes

What is the value of life?
Whatever you make it to be

If there are things in your life that mean something to you, then your life has meaning.

Is there anything you want to do in life? Well try and do it.

Are there things in life you enjoy? Well do them.

1. Can't figure that out. Don't think there is a meaning.
2. To save the world from corruption.
3. You came from your soul. Your soul... I can't say, we're all different.
4. Reality's a lie. It's all an illusion - What's real to me's not real to you and vice versa.
5. Varies with the person.
6. As much as you make it.

But that's just me.

We make our own purposes in life.

Myself, I am unimpressed by life and am as jaded as it gets. You might think suicidal is as jaded as it gets. No. Jaded is patiently waiting to die at least partially because if you kill yourself you know that all the idiots will gather around and tell one another that there was so much promise ahead, only you couldn't see it because you were stupid and weird and therefore, astoundingly, should've kept on living with a childlike faith in their uninformed opinion that things will someday be better. Now, if you patiently wait to die, ah that's different. Then the idiots will get to watch a tired bitter old man who lived his entire life that way and they will have to admit that there was not a goddamn point to his life or his suffering. He would have, and this is important, have always been better off dead.

A life that demands changes of you that you either cannot tolerate or make dooms you to pointless misery and rubs salt in the wound the whole while by acting like it's asking perfectly reasonable things.
