Not necessarily. Depends on the individual, and his circumstances.
Yes,i definently believe that life is worth it,we were given the best gift by God,so we should use it and be happy with it and try our best to make the most of it

Without God, there is no definitive reason for anything, especially for working your whole life. That being said, those who are too weak to guide themselves onto a path and a goal that they choose to live for, they usually turn to religion. Surely we do not need a definitive reason to live otherwise we should kill ourselves? I like to think of it this way, lets say we, in an alternate reality, are all soldiers in Gods army and we have just one an excellent victory against one of his many opponents. Because of this victory he has sent us on a 6 month holiday with very little money, so we have to work a bit, but we try to have as much fun as we can when we can. That there is life, don't work the whole time because you're on holiday, but you have to work a bit to survive.

In my opinion most people have to strict of a definition of what god is. I think its a state of being instead of a supreme being. Everyone has to work to survive, but you can choose what kind of work, and how to survive.

I believe you've answered your own question there. Life bears a plethora rewards, many of which have already been mentioned in the thread so I won't present you with a full list. Most of the hobbies and activities in my social and educational life I do because a) I enjoy doing them, and b) they further my knowledge and understanding of the world. These are the goals I strive to achieve because they induce positive emotions; what could be better?

If you don't even know why you're alive or if you feel like your life is pointless, get off your arse and do something constructive with it instead of whining on an internet forum about how it's shit.

Here's how I see it.I'll explain it in this little quote I made.

All-in-all,Life's a bitch.All the more reason to strike it head on.

Meaning,for the few people who think they have it harder than others and life is not worth it,you should find lifes good sides.What has it given you?It's given you a home,parents,and if your reading this,a computer.Most children don't have those.It may not seem like much at all,but be happy for what you have and punch life right in it's jaw.
Live for fun.Strive for fun.Die for fun.
I agree to most of the people here. You live to be happy. Some peole are happy with few things others need more. Some get those fast others need longer. Those with bad luck need much but don't get it (or at least think so).
Especially throughout the last year I realized that life can be way too much fun to waste it whith beeing lazy.
Yes, for some things you have to work hard but there are always things you don't have to pay. Just go out and talk to random people. If you're lucky you'll make new friends, if not don't think about it and do something crazy instead.
Just don't give up.
