I am curious,what do you think is the best way to look at that which we call life? Is it something to enjoy? something to makes us stronger for the afterlife? or something else entirely?

Please do not take this as trolling or a means to offend,this is meant to be a serious thread with the purpose of rousing thought

As for me,I see life as a difficult,yet rewarding journey,finishing with me becoming nothing.

It's a thing, I can tell you that.

Not really sure what else I can tell you about life. Maybe living. But life itself, hmm. It's rather nebulous, isn't it?

Life is wonderful, live it and love it, DEAL WITH IT.

Did I do a good job impersonating someone who joined on October 9th, 2013?

I agree as life should be enjoyed whenever possible rather than just going day to day seeing that which you dislike about life,regardless of what awaits us after we die.

So, living.

It's subjective I suppose. I mean, I have some idea of how I want to live my life, but I couldn't give you guidelines for your life. But about me, is being a pessimistic romantic possible? If so, that would be how I tend to go about my life. Although it seems to be shifting towards realistic romantic lately. Or is that too contradictory?

Contradictions aside, in accordance with that shift, I tend to both dream and long for the many potentially wonderful and beautiful things that could happen, create some expectations. And then act as if that's all silly, while accepting that I myself enjoy that silliness, so it must be alright in some respect.

If I'm trying to be concise this early/late, I acknowledge the fact that my mind tends to view my life along two paths, one which is romantic, dramatic, and a wonderful story filled with tragedy and beauty. And the other which views my life as average, predictable, and interesting only in my imagination.

I debate with myself along these two viewpoints when considering ideas, decisions, etc. (I write in dialogue with myself)

I did say my life philosophy revolves around "why not".

You won't get anywhere if you don't try something else. Otherwise you stagnate.
For example, what you think is wrong, so why not do something you didn't think of?

If you believe all your energy expenditure is a waste, why not waste some of it doing something enjoyable?

I can't believe anyone on a web forum is that pure on the other side of the screen.

Oh yeah, OT response.

I look at it as one giant obstacle course. Some of them take longer than others, some are pretty easy. Either way, the finish line is still a mound of dirt.

Life for me is to at least experience all the good things a normal person would be able to and learn all the new interesting discoveries/inventions/creations possible in this lifetime.

Earning as much money as possible isn't something I think life is worth pursuing for, but at least enough to enjoy the simpler things I like to do.

As it probably has been said, enjoy the journey, not the destination.

It relieves you of some responsibility. I mean if your life is shit you can't blame yourself for it ending up that way if you've managed to convince yourself everything was predestined to be shit anyway.
