To the guy who said something about being thankful for what I have since I could have it worse... take it easy. I'm very appreciative of all that I have. You're asking me to put myself into another person's shoes but what good does that do? It won't end the world's problems. The fact of the matter is that I'm not them, nor have I experienced some of the things they have. So why pretend? Thinking I understand and actually understanding are two different concepts my man. I'm grateful to have been born in a place where I'm free to think and do as I please, so don't chastise me for challenging you guys to think. The effort you put into telling me why I shouldn't ask the question could have been spent on coming up with a better answer... but I digress.

Back to the question. Living. Loving. Losing. What's the point of it all?

One of you said something about truly understanding life when I'm living for my family and God knows how much I'd love to live the simple life with my wife and children... but look at the guy who lost his wife and two kids when the jet flew into his house. God bless their souls, but they're gone and what's to come of this man until he passes? Is the purpose of living just to grieve in the end?

In all honesty, I think the point of living is simply to experience: love and pain.

and then to give someone else the chance to experience that. that's pretty much all it is to me, because that's all i see in the world. a lot of painwith happy moments spliced in.

I was waiting for someone to bite on that.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

It really is that easy.

So like I said, things can always be worse.

Be content with what you have.

damn, If I ever get a scroll tattoo.....

Dude the more you post the more i realize how much we think alike.

Nothing makes me feel more terrible when thinking that you have only one life to live and theres people out there who have nothing.
North Korea for example, their all forced into a life of peasantry and cant do @%#+ about it.

I sooo take what i have for granted it aint even funny. And sometimes i feel really guilty.

You need to be more spiritual. Being spiritual is not the same as being religious either. It's being in touch with yourself as a person and knowing whoyou are and being in touch with your spirit. You'll find out then.

 

[i am knowledge]

There will never be one universal purpose/meaning of life. I've learned that each person will have a different meaning in life, and the purpose of life isthe quest of discovering your individual meaning.

It may sound complex to some, or simple to others. But that's how I'm living my life, and that's how I'll live my life until I die.

everybody saying there is no point

there IS a point to life

to Love & Learn. more so learning though.

Once you learn what you need to this lifetime you won't have a reason to live anymore and you'll be dead.

Ahhhhhh life.....this journey that we partake in until death.

 

[s0lefunk]

We live then we die... only truth in this world.
The core reason we do things is to simply pass the time.

 

[yep617]

imo the point of life is the journey itself, i try to place as little emphasis on the outcomes of situations (or life for that matter) as i can...
i find that if im busy thinking about whats to come, i miss whats in front of me, so instead of being in the reality of life, i am stuck in theprojection/fantasy of the future.
i have found that doesnt work well for me.

I try to remind myself that I'm not living for this life, but for the life after this one. I won't get religious cause I'm not quite sure what therules are on this kind of topic.
