Dangerous Game

[Dustinsd]

Is life a very dangerous game ? And if so - are you supposed to win or lose at it ? What is the end purpose ?

 

[Darkover]

the end game is death eternal oblivion

"Is life a very dangerous game" ... well, certainly no chance of getting out alive.

To me existence is certainly something so harmful, I see existence as an abomination that causes all this cruelty and suffering until all is gone and forgotten in non-existence anyway and there's just so much suffering and so much harm in existing with no limit as to how much one can be tortured, I see it as so harmful to be burdened with this existence capable of suffering to unlimited extents and I'd just always prefer to not exist no matter what than suffer all for the sake of it. I could just never see a point to any of this rather to me existence just feels like the most terrible mistake and I'd just never wish for the suffering and cruelty of existing, I see existence as something so futile, it's just waiting to die anyway, it's just suffering that was completely unnecessary that there was never a need for at all, and more than anything I wish this existence was never imposed, the fact that this existence was imposed is the most terrible tragedy to me.

Life forces you into a lottery (and I hate gambling). I believe the purpose of life is simple: to live and to die. Societal expectations and consciousness make it dangerous, fearful, and arduous. Embracing a "purpose" is how we cope with the suffering: having fun experiences, a great job, lots of money... in the end, we all end up at the same place, and on the other side of life, I don't think we recall our achievements or failures.

There is no winning or losing. We're born from sparks that come to burning flames, waiting for the fuel to exhaust. You can wave your flames however you like, but you will soon be smoked out one way or another.

You're supposed to live it. However, there are different outcomes for different people. Some people enjoy life. Every minute is fantastic. And there are some people who dread every second.

So far as I can see, life has no ultimate purpose or meaning. I reached that conclusion when I was about 15 or 16. I'm now 71, and I haven't changed my mind.
