Ok time for something more serious. Been wanting too post something like this for a while already. I'm wondering what evryone's point of vieuw is of life. Whats the use, whats our purpose so to say...

Me personally i think life is useless, it only matters to ourselves and others around us. I try to live life as a game, every stage in our life cycle is a level with different obstacles. Take time too enjoy every aspect of life even the heart tearing moments because they help you put you back on earth and help you see things in perspective. Try to step out of yourself and look at your life rationally. What does anything matter? Nothing.... Everything is a result of a choice you make at one point in your life.. So instead of bitching about life being hard (wich it is at some points) accept the consecuences of your choices.

There is another reason I believe life is useless if it wern't for its own existance. I am a firm believer of Karma; What you reap is what you sow etc.. Some people say everyone is everyone. So you and me are the same person/energy. This energy always seeks balance "YingYang", if this is tru it does not matter how you live your life. If you are a murderer u create a huge negative karma ---> creating a huge positive outburst somewhere else.. So if you live life as a 'saint' so to say you create assholes??

This still has me puzzled and would be weird if it is tru, the more logical thing i can see is that the total energy does seek balance but we can controll where the balance point exists, the more positive people the higher the balancing point goes. Its nothing more then converting negative energy too positive or vice versa if you like that. :S We all are part of this and i think we can contribute by starting not to judge people. (Impossible but at least you can keep it too yourself so it does not influance them or anyone else in a negetive way.)

I think i could go on a while but im curious what you people have to say about this /hug

i agree about balance, but not energies etc. if everyone was the same level of goodness, there would be no such thing as an arsehole. no such thing as a great person.
for someone to be intelligent, someone else needs to be less intelligent. otherwise there wouldnt be such a thing as intelligence.
etc.
ive always been the believer in taking shit as its thrown at you. and this last week has made a big difference my life and how i see it all.

so what is life about you ask? life is about what you make of it.

you have to take those little oppurtunities to do that thing incase you can never do it again. take a chance or a little risk just because you can. you can say ive done this. dont take things at face value. just think how much your life could change if you give someone a chance and get to know them. its all very chaotic. like forest gump says -

its like were all just floating around in the wind and bumping into each other all accidental like. (not exactly, but something like that ;))

-

if you really think of the chain of events that need to occur for something to happen, its fucking amazing.

"Life sucks and then you die... again." -Steve Jackson, FRAG

Most hilarious statement about spawnkills, but also quite fitting on the whole life thing.

What's life according to me? Hmm, i guess i'll know the answer IF i die one day, until that, i just hang loose and live it. No stress, no panic, just living along and drifting on the sea. Maybe with some boats scattered here and there. And an island. And treasure. Such and such, you get the point.

No point in wondering about the point, it's pointless really. Just accept life as it is; time to spend.

I think this "life" is a stage, we are learning and suppose to get as much knowlegde as possible before moving on. I just can't settle with the thought of this being "the only thing" must be something more, it all can't just end after death. I want more, I want insight on bigger things - stuff like: What am I, where am I going, where have I come from and what the hell is the idea of Formula1 ???

Life is joy, pain, love, getting your heart broken, being angry, being happy, hating, liking, distroying, building.

Life if everything and its opposite.

but dont you ever wonder of the events that have had to occur for you to do something?

im in two minds at the minute. im a firm believer in pre determinism. but now i think is there possibly some element of chance?
to think of how complex everything is for an event to occur, im more inclined to believe its all pre determined.
there is so many out comes you could expect from a single event except only one of them can and will ever happen.

I did a philosophy course at Uni a few years ago. They managed to present a pretty convincing case that we do have free will in a mostly pre-determined world. Seems it was the view most philosophers hold. And before anyway one says anything - I know it sounds impossible... so impossible it must be true.. hehe.

But I believe we are here for a reason - that many things are pre-determined, but we do still have free will. Life should be lived, and not just experienced :) At end of the day, I believe loads of things that we believe are beyond us are actually achieveable, how much you put into life reflects in how much you get out of it :D

Life is about living to protect and love those that you care for. Life isn't about ourselves but about others around us. I'd die for my family and girlfriend, and that is what I think is important.

A part of me wants to believe in pre-destination and fate (mainly so i can use this kickass quote "the first morning of creation wrote what the last day of reckoning shall read") but I don't.

shakespeare had the right idea in my opinon;

"Arm, arm, and out! There is no flying hence, nor tarrying here. I 'gin to be a-weary of the sun, And wish the estate of the world Were now undone. Ring the alarum bell! Blow, wind, come wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back!"

biologically i see there's no point in living, universe will implode anyway, no reason to replicate if my spawn dies in a couple of million of years right? else im more of a naturalist(or a biologicalist) that nature has it course and we're just poluting as a part of the evolution, everything adapts at some point, and 99% of all spicies that lived has died so what does it matter if more die and if we chop down the rain forest -.-

if life is everything and its opposite? then life is nothing as there can be nothing more than nothing in the meaning of nothing? :eek:

Yes but why? Why would you keep any genepool going...

but dont you ever wonder of the events that have had to occur for you to do something?

The only thing pre determend(sp!) is our concept of time wich keeps going. This means certain stages in life in wich you ponder about certain issues (like this) , or have a specific way you live life (be that a todler, puberty or midlife crisis etcetc..)
The chance/freedom of will part is the way you choose to go through one of these stages, from the choice i am going to play this computergame instead of making homework, too I will have sex with this girl although im in a relationship with another, too crossing the street at that split second at that spot and the truck runs you over or not ofc :D

I think life seems pre determined lots of time because people are just too predictive. Its a pig pile of random organisms doing their randomly chosen useless things with one common goal. Too ensure their survival as race and as individual. Wich is stoopid because without life there would be no use for it, but we are, so we better just be good have fun and experiance as much as we can can.

if all events are really random then how can the things leading up to it be so complex and specific?

SOMEONE TELL ME!

or nothing is actually something, wich we say is nothing but doesnt mean it is infact nothing. White light is actually all light, in darkness we see nothing but there still can be ultra violet light for example :p

Because evrything is an inevitability you are bound too experience at some point build up out of randoms. So the actual experiance is bound too happen but who is part of that experiance for you is not.

so you are saying very complex chains of events are totally just from luck? could you explain why you think that is?

i think that nothing happened for a reason, it just did. its just a coincidence that millions of years ago that single celled organism changed the way it did, whereas it could have changed another and we would be a different species carry this on going through evolution up until our point and then it gets to where things such as you meeting your new girlfriend can be luck, you could leave your keys at home go back out of your way for 1 minute and then bump into them thats lucky. :p i realise it probably doesnt make much sense to other people but its what seems logical to me.

also every action no matter how small changes everything around you in some small way now but could be a huge change in the future :p

im not sure how events could be luck. think of something thats happend to you and track back the chain of events that led up to it.

something very specific will of happend somewhere which allowed something that has to happen, to happen.

i find it strange (not knocking u btw) you can say 'random' happenings are logical :)

every event that happens in your life is a dead give away that it would happen. It will happen or has happened to me or anyone else here. The version is just different for you then it is for me. In that sence it is pre determined ( as i said stages in life ).
example: You will fall in love for the first time. <-- Pre determined
With whom, when, where and how. <---- chance/luck/choise

Life is a gift

And its over in a blink of an eye

Its a one way ticket

So I try to fill as much of it as I can by being the person I know I can be

I know the difference between right and wrong

I am very positive and if there's anything I don't like about life I try to change it for the better.

Could talk for ages but cba really.

There's no magic secret to having a good life. Whats good for one person is not for another.

There are some golden rules which will certainly help you enjoy life more

Remember that post a few days back where ppl named the top x things they wanted to do before they die ?

If you give up on life you can forget that list.

No one can live your life for you.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

You only get one chance.

Make the most of it
