We all are here against all chances. In the _observable_ universe there are this many cubic meters of space: 35000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000 (literally, and the total volume of all universe might be vastly more), and you have ended up on one of 1,000,000,000 galaxies, and to the perfect region of that single galaxy's area of 1,000,000,000 stars where life can potentially exist. In that region of the galaxy there is a small star, our sun, which of all its planets and their moons it has chosen to support life here, on earth, through billions of years of evolution and give you, a tiny speckle of dust, a chance to experience the world around you.

Now you come to me and start wondering if life is worth living, and I'll whop your ass because you owe your existence to everything else, and nothing owes its existence to you.

I just realized I posted in the wrong thread.. >.>
Anyways, now posting in the right one... here's my post.

There is no point in living.
You're born, you live, you die.
No matter what you do in your lifetime, it will all be washed away with time.
Time does not remember.

While that may be true, why not enjoy yourself while you are still alive? :P

There is a point in living.
Your actions, no matter how small in the big scale
Shape the form and fate of all else there is and will be
Whatever you choose to do in your own lifetime
Will have an impulse on rest of the universe
So use your time well, as totality of everything that exists
Remembers.

Well Im trying to see the good sides of life and don't think about the fact that you loose at the end of your life everything for that you worked so hard .

It's kinda weird if you think about the fact that we just live to die

If anything, it's more of a reason to enjoy yourself while you're alive. Every life comes with a death sentence. We are here playing a game without very many limitations. Most of the boundaries we have are set by ourselves. Time won't remember, and the actions we do now won't in the end.. so why try to live according to social norms, acceptable standards, and what everybody see's as the correct way to live? If anything, it's more of a reason to set your own standards, norms, and to take control of the environment your living in. Life is a game of chess, and every event, person, object, idea, and so fourth that we come in contact with is simply another piece played. My only question is, who's playing them? I would much rather play my life on my own terms than on somebody else's.


I'd have to partially disagree with you.
Sure, our actions do somewhat shape the world, but we are a very insignificant acting factor on everything. If you think about it, the world and the universe are highly independent of us. It is we, who depend on the world. The countless numbers of us are just lost souls so to speak, wandering through life without a clue about anything. There is so much of our universe that has been gradually washed away through time, and as you know, we are still both forgetting and discovering so many things. As with everything, it's just a matter of time before it's washed away. Suppose we succumb to another glacial age. What will your actions, my actions, and everyone's actions be worth when it's merely wiped clean off the slate? I do realize this a rather large "what-if" statement, but my point is that time gradually withers all aspects of life away. So, again.. sure, what we do helps shape the things around us, but time will not remember our actions now if someone looked back hundreds of years later. Suppose we skip ahead a few decades.. I don't think Hitler will be remembered nearly as much as he is now. Time forgets. We're born. We live. We die. Time moves on, non-judging, uncaring, indifferent, and independently of us or our actions.

I partially agree with you, but not all that is washed away ceases to be worth happening at all. Without imperfection the universe wouldn't exist; we are products of a faint vibration that has managed to produce all we see around us. No matter how small, no matter how short-lived, I strongly disagree that life wouldn't be worth living, because that is all that really matters.

And if it comes down to it, no matter how would odds be against us, we may find ways to populate the solar system, the galaxy, other galaxies and maybe even find a loophole to another universe. Even striving towards that goal is enough of a reason to continue existing.

If you're looking for a goal, there may not be one. Such is nihilism.
Opponents to this say that it's about the journey.

However, many people cannot enjoy their journey. Therefore, there is a goal for me, and that is to help people be able to enjoy their journey. But...I do have to watch out for numero uno first, me.

Well... What about that butterfly effect thing? The one where a butterfly flapping its wings in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic?

If you look at it that way, everything you do effects -everything forever-

Ok lets think here:
WW I
WW II
The big bang
Tupac
Biggie
Who ever create pizza

Who ever created ice cream
