Tkill93 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 A common expression with a simple answer. Nature, nurture and maybe a little free will but in reality if an entity existed without the conditioning of nature and nurture what motivation might or should it have? The question is why should anyone do anything? What difference does it make if anything is in one state or another? If existence stopped tomorrow, nobody would know the difference, so why would it matter? People say this and that is a tragedy like if 1,000,000 people died in a war it's a tragedy but those people will die one way or another and there's no way to know what their life would of been had they not gone to war. Besides surely the ultimate purpose of life isn't to live as long as possible. You could argue they were lucky to die fighting because a life without any conflict would be a life without purpose.

Shaco Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yeah, this thought bothered me for a long time. Why should I do anything? I, along with everyone else, is going to die someday, so why do things? But, life is pretty awesome. I just live for moments and things like that. And each of those 1,000,000 lives had a mind, and people who they loved, and who loved them. And the fact that all of those people died would sadden me quite a bit. "You could argue they were lucky to die fighting because a life without any conflict would be a life without purpose."Eh, I'm a peace guy myself. Although we haven't evolved to the point where we realize that fighting just to give us a purpose to live, isn't a very good reason at all.

Oh and this isnt a thread about war/fighting, just an example :/ I dont have much to argue, because i dont have too much to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I didn't mean to sound like I was solely focusing on the point about the war/fighting. I'm also not looking for an argument, just a small discussion maybe. I don't look at the sucky parts of life anymore. If someone wants their life not to be sucky. Then make it ... unsucky. And I personally don't feel I have a right to be unhappy with my life. I live in a free place, where I can express myself to my heart's content.Food is always on the table, a roof is always over my head, and even if there wasn't, I'd still be alive, and that's good enough for me.

But a disscussion is worth while Sometimes, when your life has many more sad parts than good ones its hard not to focus on them and basically were born just so we can die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yeah, I suppose, but you've got to pay attention to detail.You're looking at the big picture too much. Overall, is life useless? Yeah, pretty much. Unless there is a God, then yeah, life is pretty useless. I suppose even if there was a God, life would be pretty useless anyways. hmmmmm...

HORUS Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 the world needs to end soon. sure life's fun sometimes, but its just as often really boring, miserable, or full of pointless talk, much like an episode of Yugioh. i had a dream that i was in Hawaii and Korea finally bombed us, starting with hawaii, and everyone died and i was happy, then i woke up and i was very disappointed.

Static Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 People say this and that is a tragedy like if 1,000,000 people died in a war "One death is a trajedy, a million is a statistic" - Joseph Stalin If someone wants their life not to be sucky. Then make it ... unsucky. TKill, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Attraction This "law" got me really great pulls at the prerelease, so perhaps it will work for you.
