Real talk, what's the point in living? vol. No, I'm not about to off myself

[iblink]

I swear, I'm not about to commit suicide. I'm just curious.

I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night it made me wonder. We're born into a world filled with temporary attachment. We grow used to ourfamilies, friends, pets, and other sorts of relationships... but they never last because death is imminent. Every minute that passes get you 60 second closerto your time being up. So my question is what's the point? We love people who are bound to leave us one day.

I've never had to deal with death. I can only recall attending one funeral in my entire life; my grandfathers... but I hardly knew him so I wasn'teffected by his passing (plus I was about 9 or 10 at the time). So now, I'm 20 years old and I'm attached to all of my family members, my dog, and mygirlfriend... but I'll lose them and the thought of that gets me ridiculously down.

What do you guys think?

I used to think that like (matter fact I think I wrote that exact same thing about every second we have means we are dying) until I read this book by EckhartTolle. You should look into it.

Nah not yet. I usually read books start to finish, but I'm reading this one little by little because its some heavy stuff.

I'm not going to get into everything that I could on this topic but just wait until you have a wife and kids and you'll have reason to live.

And go do something to get your mind off of this subject because no answer will ever be satisfying enough

I'm not. I'm just saying that there are so many questions and answers for this subject that no matter how many good answers are given, there willalways be more questions to ask. It's the type of thing where you understand someones answer, but then another questions comes to your mind and whenthat's answeres more questions come up.

My answer to the OP's question is that if you don't care about dying then your being selfish because you're not hurting yourself but insteadyou're hurting the people around you who love and care for you.

Read the Quran, you'll find all your answers there, inshallah.

 

[creekshow]

Just the way its supposed to be. Imagine a life of not making those relationships and having those bonds with people. Would be a pretty boring life in myopinion. It wasn't your choice to be brought into this world, I dont think its your choice when you go out either. I see your point and I can see whereyoure coming from too. But it is what it is and ill be living my life until its my time to go

 

[nawth21]

technically? Reproduce and die.

Anything else is just icing on the cake

And besides, there might be more to existence than this.
