Just sayin'. There has not been one permanent thing done by a human on this Earth, to Earth. Our lives revolve around the fact that we want to be happy and make a lot of money, but what is true happieness, and if we find it, it is pointless to another human who is still searching for their happieness and vica-versa.
Not trying to be a downer here, but I just want to know what you think about the futility of being a mortal with no real purpose other than to find a personal Utopia.
Life has the meaning we give it, just like everything else. You want your life to be pointless? I am fine with that, as long as you dont start pestering me. The meaning of something is not absolute, you know?
Something like what? An afterlife? Why MUST life have to achieve something after the fact to have meaning?
Maybe it's best said like this, at least in my opinion. There is a meaning to life but not absolute meaning to the existence of humanity. Individually we can exist to serve one another, love, create beauty, and discover beauty as well. As a race however we have no point, we are here and we shall die.
Good argument. I like your reasoning. To bad it has no point at all.
Damn... I thought I was onto a winner there. :]
To whom? Does the point of an action necessarily have a point? Do all of my actions have ramifications in the future? Again life has only the point you give to it but because you will die that point will die with you.[quote]
In all seriousness tho and like I said... it matters not that we as living creatures see a point in life. It has no more point than death or that which was never alive in the first place.
[quote]Life doesn't condone a reason until you give it one.
Did you see the poem I posted on page ten. Here it is again cos I think it ties in quite nicely with what you said there.
"A man said to the universe"
A man said to the universe: "Sir, I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation."
Stephen Crane
Are we really waiting around for the universe to tell us we have a point, or will we get up and make one.
Thats why I said I give life a point. Noone is able to tell me otherwise. If I lose point in my life its my own fault.
Anyone that feels life is pointless is on the wrong track.. There is meaning to life and being here on earth. We may be oblivious to why or what the meaning is, however, there is a meaning. People were put on this earth for a reason. There's no way this can be called coincidence? As human civilization goes on, I am almost certain more and more things will be exposed as to why or what our point of being on earth is.
