What is our purpous to keep on living?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel down really down and feel we have no purpous to live or exist. Even if there was a god or what not why would we need one to have a purpous to exist? There seems to not be one anyway and while we exist and the only explanation is to just work breed then die as all life forms but now with new discoveries on cloning and such one gender can live on without another so there is less of a purpous to live on or exist. I though I was supposed to have a purpous but no longer know what mine is but decide to keep living even though I am just a walking talking organism with no use on this planet still wondering what my purpous is.

Vinyls, concerts and the hope of finding some more acid at some point soon .

Actually I don't know those are just some of the things I think about to keep me going and maybe causing a little trouble for the system...in legal ways that intrestingly enough you still risk being arrested and charged for...

Purpose is just a word. Ignore it if it bothers you.

I thought we have to have a purpose to exist everything must have a purpose otherwise existing is meaningless!

Your purpose is to enjoy yourself without hurting others and to help others less fortunate than yourself.

The old-fashioned way of making babies will never go out of style.

Your purpose, your luck, your fate - they're whatever you make them to be.

And if existence is meaningless, what does it matter? Should it affect anything you do?

Maybe I'm being excessively nit-picky here but I think you are getting stuck on the word purpose and forgetting that, as another person pointed out, it is just a word. What if you, instead, think about your "reason" for being here. Or maybe you can find a better word.

My point is this... You can construct your own purpose or reason to go on living. My belief is that there is NO PURPOSE to anything. We were not created or put here for any reason. A few molecules accidentally formed in such a way that increased their chances of survival and improved their ability to make copies of themselves. Through countless mutations that further increased fitness, we have arrived at humans (among a lot of other species) and after us will be other species. There is no purpose to any of this.

But we can look at what cards life has dealt us and we can try to make the best of it. We can construct our own reasons to go on living. For some people it is being able to raise children that will live on after them. For others, it's that delicious piece of fudge in the kitchen. Whatever reason you find only has to work for you. There is no deity to tell you that you are right or wrong. There is only you. You have to look at the life you have ahead of you and ask, "what can I do in this life that will make it worth while?" I don't know what that is. There may be people for whom the best thing in life is the leaving of it. But I hope you can find something of value that you can grasp and hold on to. Something that you love, that you can return to, that gives you joy and excitement, that makes the world seem new and interesting.

If there is a purpose or a reason to keep on living, it's this; it's the thing you would really miss doing if you weren't around to do it. And if you don't have that, well, maybe it's time you looked for it.

I suppose so thanks for that I needed it alot. I just felt sad coming across some threads online not here that life is meaningless and I am useless and such. I suppose your right, after all I have come to realize the whole bone marrow thing is probably ridiculously expensive and women would prefer some company and such. Either way it would lead to child birth and child birth is painful indeed. I mean if I were to fall in love again and settle down and emotionally connect with someone and feel wanted and needed emotionally I would feel better and if I had a kid the looked up to me as a dad I would be so happy I would cry.
