| If there is no further meaning, a further end after death, such as eternal life in "heaven" (non religious sense). And if life and existence is just the effect of the random process of the universe Then life seems really special, yet so pointless. Pointless in the sense that when you're dead everything you've done, for you, becomes pointless. Things may not be pointless in the moments of when you're alive. |

| The thought of eternal paradise interests me. So I try do good. And imagine once I die I end up surrounded by women of my wildest dreams. Drinks and food out of this world literally. If I just end up back in the dirt non-existing I will be disappointed. |

| wat? well ya know.... theres this thing called procreation and yuh shure life is liek only special to you if you see it as special if theres anything "worth living life for" or smth life is simple: find something you want to do or something you like, live life for that thingie then if you want to leave a smudge of how you existed then procreate, do the most villainous thing and be remembered as history's most heinous person, or something liek art or smth. if ya dont find anything worth living for then end it. if youre too chicken to end it have someone do it for you and you'll be in the newspapers. if you dont want to do neither then thats jast contradkshun and how you kling onta life cuz yu want to do something in life yah? if you think too much about yer hole existence or w.e then you'll never fall down/go up or walk forward or smth |
| Whats That? You think my username is Pretty?! Me too!!....... until I found out it was the name of a JAV actress whom I dont even know. |
| Oh well. Pointlessness isn't so bad if your life is enjoyable and interesting. I never quite "got" why people consider the meaningless that comes after the end of your life to be such a bad thing. I try hard to look at that in a negative light, but I can't help but be indifferent/slightly optimistic towards it. Realizing it doesn't change anything about your life, anyway. |

I have to agree with you there. I think many people tend to view my threads in a negative connotation. Probably because I didn't explain too well. But I think that even if something is pointless, it doesn't mean that you can't enjoy things or have fun. You can do those, but ultimately it's pointless. If I see it as pointless then why do it anyways and not just kill myself? Because the distinction I make is that it becomes pointless AFTER death. But when you live in the moment, PERHAPS at that moment it doesn't have to seem so pointless, since you're enjoying it. And you enjoying is in the present, while the ultimate pointless end is in the far, not yet reached, future. |

| Have sex since sex makes babies and babies make your species not die out = biology's meaning of life. |

| If its meaningless and we're just some accident, then it is better for all if we just never were. A kernel becomes a popcorn, but for a popcorn to become a kernel again is inconceivable. And if you're never going to be eaten, but to be destined to be a kernel again, why give them hope to start with? It only brings about a temporary suffering. Life exists and multiplies because it is ephemeral and faulty, and cannot endure eternity, so it resists death by continously multiplying. Instead of just dying once, it'll die billions of times, but something will stay around. That is the only escape. That is great for the strain of life, as it will always be "alive" but it only does so by sacrificing parts of itself all the time to stave off eternal death, but not so great for its pawns, whose only real purpose is to spread its seed for a new generation, and then promptly discards you. |

| Life has no meaning by default. You give it your own. It's not that difficult a concept to grasp. Enjoy life your way and savor it before you perish. |
| I came to this realization a few years back. My opinion on it is that the point to being alive is to be alive. Beforehand you didn't exist, there you truly had no purpose. Though now that you're alive your purpose is to experience existing. Also just because something has no purpose doesn't mean it isn't valuable. Value is something people put on things so it's up to you how much value you put on your own life. Though regardless of value everyone as an individual are rarer than diamonds. There will ever be only one you, despite many others similar. Oh and just because your dead doesn't mean your life was pointless. Your actions in life will leave behind purpose. |

| I dunno, I like to entertain the idea that there is something beyond death to keep my troubled soul calm. |

To be happy. Simple as that, I live my life with that one long running goal in mind, if I'm enjoying my life in the present then what else do I really need to ask for? |

And what if you have never been happy? I mean by now even my track record is starting to get long. You know how like once you reach a certain age you shouldn't still be a virgin. Well its like that but with happiness. Dull life story. I'm genuinely surprised anyone find happiness in this world today because looking back I don't see any moment I was glad to be alive to live through. Its just the icing on top that life is meaningless anyway, people suffer for nothing and die just the same as anyone else, life will never owe you anything, especially happiness. So never assume someone can find it, its not set in stone. |

| I live only to improve surroundings for the people around me whilst also making myself comfortable. As for where I'll go if anywhere when I die? I don't give a fuck. |

| I enjoy the time spent in my life having fun and experiencing new things. Caring about stuff like what happens after you die is a bit too much thinking with little value attached. Put it another way, there is no incentive for me to care or think about stuff after I die. I live a life, and enjoying as much as I can with it seems like a good and obvious course of action. |
