Does anybody see a point in life?

[Bruces]

I'm struggling to see one?

 

[DyingAlf]

No, it's all so pointless

 

[Drowning fish]

No, sorry.

 

[grungeCat]

Nope, life's completely senseless.

 

[MariV]

yes. people want to live forever and be eternal yet dont know what to do on a rainy sunday

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
-- Ecclesiastes 1:14

Everything we do as human beings are pointless and the Bible, to my surprise, actually speaks of these things. And it was written thousands of years ago.

 

[sadworld]

nothing > life

For me, life has no meaning, but I don't mean that in a judgmental way.
Just because it has no meaning, it doesn't have to be bad.

You can try to give your life meaning, but you don't have to.

 

[Futile]

The goal of life is to die, everything in this world is wired towards self-destruction

It is to reproduce. That is what nature wants us to do. Nothing else. We are carriers for our DNA.

I'm not sure there is even a point for that but it's the main force of life.

Life is pervasive all over the universe on planets and moons of planets. It's a byproduct of the chemistry of the
stars. I think the universal consciousness wants life forms so it can express itself. Like a painter needs paint and
a canvas.

This too. I always felt that since I'm never going to reproduce i'm just wanting time here

 

[marcusuk63]

No, it`s one endless nightmare and no matter what you do you still die

 

[Todessehnsucht]

Living life each daily has always been a struggle and then Saturday came, I got raped by the person I trusted the most.
I don't see any point.
Things are getting bad daily.

 

[Tasdevil]

No I can't see any point in life. It just like Groundhog Day the same rubbish daily.

 

[NextSummer]

Non-depressed here. I enjoy life even though mine isn't particularly good. You might as well when you get out of your depression.

Let's say, your life is mostly enjoyable and feels worth living overall (I don't know if it's actually true, so I'm creating a hypothetical scenario where it is), would such life be acceptable to you even if it was pointless?
What would you prefer, a pointless but mostly enjoyable life (no sense of meaning but you mostly feel good than bad), or meaningful (you have a sense of goal/purpose in life which you want to achieve or bring yourself as close to it as possible) but mostly unenjoyable life? (You feel as if the pain and suffering are more prevalent in your life that pleasure and contentment.)

 

[Vault of Memories]

Not the way mine is going.

 

[Lupgevif]

To some extent. The point is to survive for as long as you can, satisfying as much basic and physiological needs as you can.

 

[voyager]

One could argue there isn't, I guess. No matter how good or evil you are somewhere a few thousand years down the line humanity will have replaced your repute with someone else's good or evil deeds, and of course in the vastness of time and space it's perfectly irrelevant whatever we do anyhow. We'll all be forgotten at some point.

On a personal level though I think one can find meaning in life. Simply because we see the world from our own perspective which is the complete opposite of the above. Who cares what's in a million years before or after, the universe as such is your life. Which is why I think it's important to find joy in life and being able to fulfill oneself, selfishly or altruistically. That can be meaning in a personal universe.

If one can't accomplish this though despite meaning to one might just have a problem.

I have to constantly feed this body i'm in , buy expensive housing for this body etc. I have to go and apply for jobs and work and struggle and constantly fix problems and broken things, washing, cleaning and on and on. So why do i have to work so hard for what purpose? I don't see one. It's a lot of work just to maintain everything and then you get a torturous disease and get old and die anyway. Time goes by much faster than people realize too. 100 years from now will be here in no time at all.

 

[HappyMstake]

I can't speak on anyone else's behalf, but for me nope.

 

[DyingAlf]

Living life each daily has always been a struggle and then Saturday came, I got raped by the person I trusted the most.
I don't see any point.
Things are getting bad daily.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
In some ways it seems so much worse when it's someone that you trusted.

I gave you a hug on your post, it came with a smile on it but obviously I'm not smiling, I'm so sad for you.

 

[Todessehnsucht]

@DyingAlf Thank you, it broke me and I realized how alone I really am.
I almost left yesterday but I chickened out.

 

[EssenceFocus]

Yes, I see a point in life. It can be very, very, very difficult. But no life is wasted time.
You have the choice to end it or to go on, whatever you wish, there is no better or worse.

Whatever you do in life, it is the most perfect value fulfillment, even if you ctb...

 

[TheDevilsAngel]

I think it is completely pointless, we life we die and time continues on and times change a complete waste imo....

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I don't see any point in life and I am suffering.

 

[Bruces]

You enjoy life?

[DJJE]

Some people have. They might have a family, kids, loved ones, job, or passion.

Some might be blissfully ignorant.

In the past, people had gods to believe in and to be fearful of. Advances in science has taken that away from the masses who now just exist.

 

[WOODESITY]

I do not, I think nothing can be gained from this life, only thing that i see can be worth continuing life for is to reduce and eliminate suffering as much as I can

 

[GoneGoneGone]

NO

 

[Worthless_nobody]

Nope..For me life is an inherently pointless endeavor...a means to an end. I can see how others might think life has "purpose and meaning" but to me it's endless, senseless suffering.
