What is the point of life???

Couldn't tell ya'...


But, I can tell you what is Best in life...

no one can answer this for you, ... it is for you to find on your own.


what makes life worth living for you ??? what makes you happy ? .... if nothing, ... what would make you happy?

who do you want to be ??


for some it is the comfort of friends, a sense of belonging, .... for others it is the caress of a womans hair as she kisses you. for others yet, their career or passions.

do not find the answer ....... CREATE the answer.

It’s really hard to explain the meaning of life. Just understand that Life has to be. If there was no life there would be nothing. You have to do your part, Just be.

Oh this is an easy one.

**** and Don't die.

Mate, Reproduce.

And at all costs, avoid dying.

That's the basis of it.

You can get more complex with the help your neighbor (even though she still owes me sugar!!!)

Or find a job that you love, and make a difference, and on and on.

The meaning of life, expand your species!

dunno but we all lemmings now

You have read and heard everything? I find that hard to believe.

Perhaps professional help is in order. Depression can be helped by drugs and threapy.

The human brain is geared to think in terms of "purpose" because its a great survival tool. The purpose of a sharpened stick can be to spear you a wooly mammoth and get dinner. The purpose of a lever can be to lift a heavy rock that's in your way. The purpose of a hammer can be to drive in a nail and build yourself a shelter. And so on. By looking for and identifying purpose everywhere, we have been able to vastly enhance our ability to survive and thrive.

The problem enters when we start applying the concept of purpose to abstract issues like "life" or "existence." Its a kind of linguistic/conceptual foul-up. Think of it this way: It is grammatically possible to construct sentences like, "What does the color pink smell like?" This sentence is grammatically correct...but it has no meaning at all and is totally unanswerable. The same thing can basically be said of the question, "What is the purpose of life?" Its a gramatically valid question but it has no underlying meaning. Purpose is a limited tool meant to be applied to limited aspects of the physical world. It cannot be applied to concepts that are super-abstract, like "life" or "existence" or "the universe." Unfortunately our brains and nervous systems are sophisticated enough to pose those kinds of questions, but not really sophisticated enough to readily understand their inherent meaninglessness.

Useless post i'm posting.

But you get a star for pointing that so, "greatingly" (new word?)

That was well thought out, That I had to post a post, noting how great it was

To eat,sleep and procreate. Nothing else matters...well it does since we are human and with our intelligence we like to create a web of reasons in regards to the point of life, but when push comes to shove everything else is meaningless.

Point of life is to eat, live, reproduce? That's all? If that's all the meaning than it has no meaning at all and the best thing would be to cease exist because there's no difference then at all. To be born just to die?

I don't think drugs are worth taking. Too me that would be just another way to mask the problem. I think alot of us are bored, and that could be the reason you feel the way you do saabacura.

The purpose of life will change according to your perceptions of it. Every twenty years you will look back and then look around you and realize that the world is a totally different world.

Find someone to share it with and take lots of pictures so that you can look back and say, "What was I thinking?".

I think the actual purpose is sailing through the ups and downs with Grace.

The point of life is to ensure that your journey is worthwhile...

well to be worthwhile LadySkadi can you please help me access the favorites page for threads. not the one for media. but the one for threads??

As an adult it is your choice that you make.

If you want attention just ask its a lot easier.

All i can share with you

At 4yrs old I decided suicide was stupid and not worth my time.

As I got older it became a matter of not giving the bastards I met the satisfaction

Personal opinion

The smell of a beautiful woman, with all the attendant pleasures. worth it


EX-

fat bottom girls

I will for the sake of argument engage this.

What is the malfunction?

Assumption is the drudgery of life waying you down.

I can prove to you that you have not seen everything

Try learning CRV.
turn your eye to the universe.
Smiles at shameless plug


What even the skeptics will agree with.

Go try and pick woman and blog on your experiences. It seems youve got nothing to lose so why not.

Now you can write and share experiences and others will write to you asking for advice based on your experiences.

I've heard it said, and it's true: For some the whole point of life has been to act as a warning of what not to to.
