Rock doesn't have meaning?

What's all this sculpture stuff then?

And the giants causeway ah yes.

And fossils and so on.

The point in living is different depending on three things...
1) If you are single and/or cant get the one you love
2) You had the one you loved, but then you lost him/her
3) Your an ordinary happy person.

number 1: "there is no point in living because you cant get the man/woman you want so whats the point? might as well stop myself from feeling anymore pain.." this could be view of someone in the same situation as no.1

Number 2: "i had him/her, now theyve been taken from me. might aswell take me from everyone else. Now it seems like theres no way of getting him/her back, might aswell not bother with anything. if he/she wont have me, no one will. ill just use this razor/rope/really tall building/speeding bus..." this could be the view of someone in the same sit. as no.2

Number 3: " The point of living is to be happy, make as many people as you can happy, get laid, then get laid again. Its also to have lots of Kids... so come on.. lets get busy " this could be the view of someone in the same sit. as no.3...


so do you know the Point of Living Yet?

Like FFF said.

Also, I believe that we're machines anyway. So once you expire, it's eternal nothingness.

So I pose to you, what is the point in not living?



However against my own argument. If I believe we have an eternal sleep unknowing of time, then you wouldn't know any differently.

What?
If all you live for is getting into heaven, might as well save all the leg-work and get straight up there.

But seeing as every child is born pure and innocent - why not slaughter them at birth? You can be assured they'll go to heaven then, if that's the only thing living is for.

Otherwise just wait up until you can get pretty good odds on being accepted in, and fall under a bus - lest you muck up all your hard work some time further along the line and end up in hell.

Good work, chuck.

The answer is in my opinion to work your way towards heaven.

Live for the moment. That's all there is to it.
