Death Metal Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Interesting. Life's 'point' is different for us all. So I guess the meaning of life is to try to find your meaning for living. Suicide is always an option though. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 The meaning of life is, more or less, not to care about the meaning of life. The idea of freedom and enjoyment is not to use these things as an image, but take advantage of them while you can. I see no need to get philosophical over a matter that cannot be solved.

Aximil Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's how we have evolved. Human nature draws anywhere from couples to whatever China's population is together because we rely on eachother. Every human relies on at least one other human in one way or another. We also like to see other humans live their lives and normally subconciously compare it to our own lives. And as for the meaning of life' date=' from my view(basically meaning non-religious), there isn't any. A human is born, ages through life, and eventually dies. Naturally or un-naturally. Also, every human being effects the world in some way. Ranging from drastic changes like Albert Einstien(or however his name is spelt) to minor changes like a baby dying after birth. But in the end, we will use up Earth's resources, move to another planet and repeat the process, or the Sun will blow us all up. Life is meaningless. P.S. I wasn't really paying attention to anything I said. Half asleep and my body is on auto-type for whatever comes to mind on the subject I'm reading.[/quote'] That was a post in another thread similar to this. Not going to edit it because I'm too lazy enjoying my life with a few friends at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I love the blatant trolls who post just to get +1 post count. Read the topic before you answer. If you'd have done that, you'd not have answered. Well. Here's the truth: There is no point to life. Us being alive doesn't ... do anything. We live to satisfy our needs that aren't even important in the grand scale of things. But dying isn't going to make you happy. When you die' date=' you lose all consciousness. You just become... dead. There's nothing special about it. You don't get reincarnated, you don't go to heaven/hell, you just die and that's it. From that perspective, does it seem like being dead is better than being alive? No.[/quote'] If I used the term 'happy', I deeply apologize. I meant to say 'escape pain'. Assuming no afterlife or heaven/hell or reincarnation, death is "not life". And if your life, for example, is pain, then wouldn't death be "not pain"? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd have done that' date=' you'd not have answered.[/quote'] You want a literal answer instead of an indirect one that is worth more? Fine. Theoretically, suicide is a good option if you do not enjoy life (if we're going by the theory that life=enjoyment). However, we can also look at it from another perspective, which is how OTHER people feel about you. If you do not enjoy life, see it as pointless- how will others react? Your friends and family will grieve, and be thoroughly unhappy (presumably). Now, if we're still going by life=enjoyment, I highly doubt these others will be enjoying your death, therefore ruining their lives. Now, I can hardly believe I'm saying this but religion could come into this. If a man is broken, has nothing else to turn to and wishes to commit suicide: religion could help. No matter what you think of it, it would give him faith and a reason to live. That is quite simply, almost fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is suicide a 'viable' option? Will it eliminate your "pain"? While suicide is the best way out of this miserable thing we call 'life.' It's not viable. Nothing will ever eliminate the "pain", except death of course. Some days the pain will be numbed, others it'll be excruciating. (Trust me I know) To deal with it and ease it you have to have good friends, a strong will, and a person you trust to talk to and vent your feelings to.

Encalade Shinamisu Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 To be honest, I think Suicide is a weak willed person's way out. It's the latter, and just shouldn't be done. I think the point of life (Although this might be contradictory) is to find your purpose in life. To find THE point of living for you. Only when you find that, when you have affected and changed the lives of others for the better, worse, or not much at all, will you see a peaceful death.

It may be hopeless, but we are given hope in something being unknown, and we wish to know it, out of our curiosity. No matter how impossible the feet, humans will continue to want to reach toward this feet. We want to know, all of us would like to know, and I believe it feels good to attempt and strive for it. We may never get it, but we will always want to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he maintains at least slightly correct, as you wouldn't consider suicide unless you thought you had no other way out. You'd have to have either alot of balls or a huge motivation (a negative one) to do so, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suicidal people are like "f*** IT" and then do it anyway. That's pretty ballsy. However, people kill themselves over losing jobs and not having friends. Other people live after getting raped, kidnapped, beaten to mere inches of their lives, losing jobs and facing constant struggles, and several people dying around them, most of whom they considered close. Those who actually kill themselves are cowards looking for a permanent solution to a temporary problem. They find the easiest way out and never face those problems. It's a slap in the face to those whom have gone through so much worse. And I can understand if there's no way out and you go in with hopes of glory, but taking your own life is quite bad, why not go out in a blaze of glory instead?
