What's This Life For?

[NOKUY]

I have been pondering that Q? the last few days...I seriously don't have an answer.

what do you guys think?

I seriously dont know????

I'm def. not talking about that stupid pop song w/ the same title, but really what the fuck is goin on?!

what the fuck are we doing here and why the fuck are we here doing it?

I've been chopping plants all day, and watching the only Tv show I like, and I only relate to these peeps.
(u know the show if u know me).


I def. don't get most people...

I really just wanna bounce, and get on w/ what I wanna do and quit playin this stupid fukin game that society has set up!

I'm seriously smart enuf to see thru this shit, and I know what the fuck matters, and that I gotta take care of #1...and thats damn easy.

I have peeps (family) offering me $75 dollar an hour jobs to do pipeline welding, but I dont wanna do shit but bounce and be left the fuck alone.

I'll be glad to elaborate, but really what do guys think?

Why do you think there's a purpose to any of this? This life is not FOR anything. You're here to do one thing, and that's to ensure survival of your species. Besides that one job, do whatever you feel like doing. Society blows because society is caught up trying to make meaning out of their life purpose by subscribing to capitalism and diving into that as their purpose, forever chasing the American Dream and never quite catching up to it. Most people are too scared to imagine that they're not put on this earth for any specific purpose. Same as most people being too scared to consider that once it's all over, ITS ALL OVER.

Oh, and Thorodee, think you can drope the font size on your sig a point or two?

life is whatever you want it to be. Life in itself has no point but you can still enjoy life because that's all that really matters. Most people will be just forgotten when they die so you'll just eventually become another dead guy. Dust in the wind.

I personally want to remembered for something, something good, at least I'll try to do something that matters before I die.

hi thorodee

im smoking sum kalimist/x13/thai X Deep Chunk

thats not the issue tho

 

[marx2k]

Yummy, why do you care if you'll be remembered for something? Life, humans and even this planet is fleeting. It exists now and will not tomorrow, so really, what's it matter? It's like people with money trying to take it with them.. you're dead. Gone. That's it. On the grand scheme of things, what do you think any one person can do that would really matter?

 

[NOKUY]

yummy..you'll be remembered

 

[Yummybud]

lol

because if you are remembered you'll live on forever in a way.

 

[marx2k]

Who wants to live forever?

Look man, people need to come to grips with the fact that they are on the planet for a short amount of time and then they end up dying and then they are no longer around. People have a very hard time conceptually with the fact that they will not exist anymore. It's a really difficult thing to get your head around, it's true. That's why humans came up with nice shit like reincarnation and souls and angels and shit like that. It calms a person down to think that when they die, they're no longer just deleted.

The only thing I believe in when it comes to the 'afterlife' is reincarnation, and that only in the sense that our atomic energy gets transferred into other forms. So if you like to believe that you will become something else, that may be true.

But the thought of your consciousness.. your SELF not being around anymore... is bizarre to comprehend.

Of course, a good 10-strip would help you come to terms with it real quick.

plus you can influence people in the future.

look at Hitler, after all these years, he still influences people , theres even a channel dedicated to him, the history channel lol.

Not saying I like Hitler lol, just saying he was a powerful guy that still influences people decades later ( both in a good / bad way).

i really don't think there is a reason nokuy. we're are just here by some random chance. damn this shit always gets my head in a bind . theres so much unexplained shit that really if you think about it long and hard enough it would probably drive you insane. like blackholes and shit. where the fuck do black holes go to??? how far does the universe go? are there parallel universes? its fucked up. i think it was in that movie What the bleep do we know they talk about if you look at your molecules or whatever at certain magnitude they disappear and reappear. damn that movie is nuts, i saw it once and i was a very stoned and i couldn't even watch the whole thing. what would be great is if some supreme being came down and explained everything to us but if there even was such a thing i think by now they might look at humans as a lost cause.

sigh

Life is for living.

All the other stuff eventually comes back to this.

Now the point of concious thought and great mental powers that humans seem to be blesssed/cursed with... thats something entirely different

It all depends on what the one thing is that all of your other actions are done for. For example, say you value money. You do not value money because money is something good in itself, you value money because it is a means of attaining other things. The reason that you wish to attain these other things is because having those things makes you happy. Happiness is the thing at which all of our other endeavors are aimed. Happiness is the only thing that you want for itself, not because it brings you something else you desire. The conclusion is that you should live life with the goal of being happy. Use your ability to think rationally (the same one that enabled you to ask this question) to decide what actions will make you the happiest. Then act in this way. As you go you will learn what makes you happy and what doesn't, and then you can take this new knowledge into account for the decisions you will make in the future. Hopefully this will lead to you being both happy and wise.

Of course their are many different ways to look at this question, so choose to follow whichever one you think will make you the happiest
