what is life really about ?

[kronas]

i didnt know where to really put this, i was going to put it in to my blog but i thought it may make a good topic.....

so as im going through life monitering whats happening around me and to me, building a background, a history and looking in to individuals and what i see i often wonder what life is about.....

you have all the nice things in life, whatever they maybe for each person as an individual whether it be a particular food, drink, clothing, or person, its often something that will create happiness or a 'feel good' factor, positive and creatively influencing them forward, whilst working, or hobbies increase a void of time which needs to be filled.

there is often a less forgiving time in human nature where certain members of the public do something which is ireprehensable, a murder, killing, shooting, stabbing, an indulgence in drugs and other such paraphernalia, but at the end of it why do it ? for retribution or a 'buzz' temporarily creating a 'thrill' ?

there are reasons why people do things the way they do, whether a person has picked up a particular trait or found something that is accoustomed to them its 'their way' but deemed right ?

i suppose what i am trying to say is doing all this and more.... what is the point of life in general ? maybe there is something more, it seems foolish not to denote the fact that happiness is simply easily created for some more than others, but at the end of the day with all the money, food, happiness, freinds, family, and so on, what is the point to all this ?

as you can tell i dont enjoy life much

very true, but not the type of answer i was looking for ofcourse your not wrong there, life is what you make it, even if you try and try maybe you will or wont get to your goal, whether it be a job or a particular activity, the point i am trying to make in general is what is the point of doing all these things ?

satisfaction ? what for ?

greed ?

temptation ?

after all you have done and been throught, its all just emotion or an external foundation, seems worthless.

It certainly is, but, what other peeps make of / do to your life is a big factor

.

Satisfaction.......maybe
Greed...............not me
Temptation.......sometimes

I've had my times, thought, I want / need this or that but at the same time, I would give up the rat race to live " comfortable " ( not rich in money ) on some island somewhere in the sun............ I know, dream on

life is for sifting the diamonds (the good bits) from the mud (the shte that seems more prevalant nowadays). Or is it me just being cynical

Why do people always seem to think theres got to be a point to everything?
There is no point in life, we live, we die simple as that. Might aswel try to make the best we can out of the living part. By the best I dont even mean a big car, nice house, plastic wife, etc. I mean make as big an impact as you can, try and be selfless when apropriate, But dont let people walk all over you (Something I always find hard to stop, people always seem to take advantage of a giving nature). Basicly if you can keep the generations that follow you talking about you (For good reasons, no killing sprees please ) then you have lived a phonomenal life.

Anyway, my 2p worth

There is too much involved in the world to just 'live' then 'die'. And who says death is the end? Perhaps it's just a transition. Perhaps we move on to another dimension that entities on this material plane will never know about.

Yes, and perhaps you just get slapped in a wooden box, buried 6 feet down and rot ... the end.

It's possible of course but seeing as energy cannot meet 'the end' (or so I'm told...), surely there's "more"?

Sorry, didn't understand that.

Energy cannot die? It can only change form? Or have I got that wrong?

Yes, it gets transformed into worm and plant food...

Tell me what happens to the energy from a generator when it runs out of diesel. Does that go to heaven too?

Thats a possibility Russ, but without anything to go on since entities on this plane of existance are unaware of it, whats the point in making that supposition?
I think we should just live each day as it comes, be the best person we can and as I said earlier try and make sure our legacy lives on (For the right reasons).
I have also never seen anything to suggest there isnt more to the world then living and dying, as depressing as that may sound.
