What do you feel is the point of living?

[Simslover92]

[ohsheeT]

I've been in positions before it was either fight or die

I dont care what it is in this world we are going to come up against energy. That will take us down paths we have no business going down


Sometimes if we are in our own head a lot. We can talk our way ourselves in to anything

I'm curious about everything. and I need answers. We have life. We live we experience. We die

Why? Or is that the way it is
For me i say no
It's so much deeper. It's gonna take me to pages to try to explain

Look at it like this. You do something in life, and it brings you alive. You become in a zone, you're frequency is so sky. High smile on your face will not leave the energy in your body is peaking

And 2 days later, it's gone, so you try to do it again.\n And it didn't work that day, so you search for it more and you might get a little bit of it, but not all of it

I think when we come into this world, we have that frequency\n As little kids. And we lose it by the way that we're brought up how view life what we go through but we are on that search for that same feeling

As a little kids, I never lost that feeling. It has always been with me. From 5. To ten years old , i'm sure I lost a little bit and in searching for answers. That feeling new feelings and staying out of my head want more answers and experiences I know there is a deeper meaning i look at everything as if it's a test
If we live in dual ity world then we're gonna have the days. We're gonna have bad days because you can't have one without the other

But if you live in a harmonious spiritual peak world, everything just flows everything kind of comes to you in a peaceful, meaningful, deep way, and you definitely do not get in your own head then

And understanding this and trying to get to that peak is my point is meaningful to me. Until I get there.\n I'm not living life to the best. I can so that's reason why even come on here, because I want to try to help people see this and to get there because it is the most beautiful peaceful i have ever had it\nGoes way deeper on that

For me the point of living is understanding my own mind learning how to manage my special way of thinking, of absorbing the world and then finding a way to connect with people and enjoy life. Not only am I autistic I don't have the specialisation where I just focus on one thing and become really good at that, I try to understand everything and make sense of the world and myself and other people. Which takes a very long time. In this world people only care about the one thing that you're best at that you've dedicated your life to and for me that's my own mind and figuring how to function and coexist in this world. But that's not something flashy and impressive. For 35 years I was dealing with overwhelm, understanding what's even going on and trying to find stability building a foundation. Now I'm just starting to build my identity and start realizing my potential. So I'm on a completely different journey than pretty much anyone else. I feel like many people would have already given in to despair, anger, bitterness, rage, self hatred etc. before getting to this point.
Being patient, being kind to myself fighting against things I absorb from the outside that say I'm failing, I'm not doing enough etc. But it's all slowly paying off.

I can't really say what the point is in a more abstract, grand way. What keeps me going is that I experience bad things more intensely but also good things. Like drinking hot cocoa that I drank as a kid after being outside in the cold is more amazing for me than other people, I enjoy it more I feel more pleasure from small nice things. That and my happy childhood, which showed me what possitives are possible in this world and the love I recieved, are what keep me going. And just my endless drive of curiosity and trying to improve myself and other stuff. I think everybody has to find their own answer of what makes life worth it for them.

For me, the point of living isn’t one big achievement.

It’s meaning.

It’s understanding myself better, forming real connections, and leaving people a little better than I found them.

It’s learning, unlearning, loving, losing, and still choosing to stay open.

Life feels purposeful when I’m growing, being honest with myself, and living in alignment with my values, not just surviving or performing for others.

A meaningful life isn’t loud.

It’s intentional.

Listen to what this young, attractive woman has to say about it.

I kinda agree with her. But I still have my son who needs me so I just have to deal with whatever life throws at me and suck it up.

[Simslover92]

Yeah I don't really have a child keeping me here. I have friends and family that would be devastated but I'm starting not to care anymore. Thanks for sharing the video.

[HawkPerception]

I'm agnostic and lean towards the concept of reincarnation just from what I've read. But I don't really have any strong beliefs of an afterlife of any kind.

And because of that, I don't necessarily believe there is a point in life. There are evil people in the world that have been extremely lucky in their lives and have everything until the day they die. And there are people who are good down to their core who are dealt shit their entire lives. There are people who suffer from the day they're born to the day they die. And there are people who are born with a level of health, wealth, intelligence, attractiveness, and talent that other people can only dream of.

I don't believe in karma. It's clear that karma doesn't exist. And justice is not absolute. There are so many people who have suffered without getting any justice.

That's why I'm a somewhere in the middle or a mix of a nihilist, hedonist, and agnostic.

Just live your best life and try to die happy. Try to understand what causes your happiness and pursue it to the best of your ability. Because at the end of the day, none of it really matters. We're less than grains of sand on a vast beach. But at least if you live happily, in the last 7 minutes of your death when your brain replays your life (your life flashing before your eyes), you'll have one hell of a cathartic movie to watch.

[Cidknee]

Though I can't "like" your answer I do agree and like a lot of what you say. In my version ALL that evil and unrighteous imbalance will be rectified.

[sawno]

The universal point of living is transformation. Its the one thing we can't stop doing. Our minds, the air we breath and the people around is. Everything is impacted. You asking that caused people to share their ideas, it made me hope you are ok and if you'd like to dm feel free. Soon our answers may have an impact on you and the others who read them. Those kinds of impacts are meaningful to me.

But ultimately the end goal is to be the best version of yourself by the time this is over, and ideally to have succesfully passed that on.

[sawno]

Oh and important to add, there's been people who felt like there was no point of living because they simply didn't discover something big ahead of them yet. Lets say the love of your life shows up next year, would you wanted to have missed that by leaving early?

So a large part of it for me when I am going trough a hard period in life is making it to the finish line of that hard period so that I can enjoy the rewards that come after. Because good things inevitably will come along the journey, its just a matter of when. And then when you have those (back) in your life you'd look back on those moments you asked yourself this and be glad that you saw it trough.

Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why, why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist? - Agent Smith

[sawno]

That's probably one of the worst things you could have posted right now when its someone who doesn't know. That could have made me give up if I was feeling down. So for people reading that its important to know that smith was just trying to discourage but ultimately the protagonist won.

[Berethor]

It's the Straw Nihilist Trope, I actually already know that she had saw the Matrix. :)

[RandomGirl42]

Life is totally meaningless. That's what is so absolutely awesome about it! It has whatever meaning we give to it! I know most people think I'm full of shit and just some dreamy, airhead, flower child or something but life really is all of our making.

And the bottom line for me personally, is to love. I don't need anyone else for that. I love because I believe I was born to love. 💖

[TonyMetal___86]

You ain't full of sh*t, you're funny in many occasions plus you have a positive side, it's true that you play dumb sometimes but these traits makes you for what you are 😄

Sometimes you act childish and i believe you when you say that you were born to love but personally i have hoped if you were born to love men, not women 😅

Anyways, you are what you are, i won't throw rocks on a simple blonde witch like you 😁

[NathanDavis]

to me? personally

the people in my life... and making them happy

that's why gave meaning and purpose to my living, when I didn't feel like I was living this life, and that has not changed ever since...

making others happy makes me truly happy, and their reciprocation has made even happier

[MikeTheBartender]

To maximize your enjoyment of life without hurting others , that's the selfish part, the unselfish part is to make a little dent in the world and make the world a better place, whether that world is your street, your city, or your country, it's kind of subjective to each person, but just make things a little better.

[UrLoveMocha]

This is a question I’ve always had… when I was younger, I thought it had to do with love and reproduction.. however as I got older I realized it wasn’t at all for love. 😂 The reproduction thing is having a decline too.. so now I’m back at nothing.

[Bricealan]

@Simslover92 I have no religious faith, so I will not spout the usually religious Montra of believers. I think the meaning of life is the meaning you give it and that sound empty to those that are the faithful

[TwoDecisions]

the point of living is whatever you make it out to be.

You'll be finding something when you find a dude to obsess over again. You be up and good with a youngster or an ex in your life, depressed and pondering if it's even worth it when you do not.

It's honestly sad to see.

[douride2]

Well when you have 2 life altering near death experiences that I should have never survived before I was 16 I look at the other side. For the most part now I live everyday to it's fullest. I want to live as long as I can.

[lightbulb27]

To fully exist for and with God in the present moment.

[CherryLove007]

Finding the DELIGHT in hobbies and people and sharing in the delight. 🍒

[Telekinetic-Potato]

All I know is if God asks what I thought about it, I'm gonna try to have a good answer

[MikeMcMansion]

The answer would be God

[supercutebutt]

Eating tasty foods. Enjoying baseball. Engaging in buttstuff. Teasing Trumptards.

[Finchie40]

Still trying to figure it out because my life hasn’t been easy

[Cidknee]

A plethora of things ranging from the simplest of pleasantries across the entire spectrum to the most detailed analysis as to our existence.
Short version, God.

[RavVid]

I put effort into making the local community better.

[TonyMetal___86]

To enjoy life, to be happy, to love, to make a family, to help others and to thank god for everything...

[exitseven]

to be more of a burden to the government that it has been to me.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

There is no point.
You make your own or simply die if you don't

[Alex-Snow]

Right now the USA is loosing its democracy and its spirit... very depressing.

[supercutebutt]

Sad but true. :(

[Dargil]

To leave life better than I entered it. I'm not doing so well.

[supercutebutt]

You can say that again.

[Dargil]

@supercutebutt OK. I will.
To leave life better than I entered it. I'm not doing so well.

[supercutebutt]

If you are feeling empty, you can always join ICE. Satan would love another team member 😈

[Dargil]

@supercutebutt I don't feel empty. I feel empowered. If Democrats aren't careful, we will end up stacking their bodies up like sandbags.

[supercutebutt]

You should write a book, 'The Dreams of Fascist Scum'

[Dargil]

@supercutebutt What would I say in it?

[supercutebutt]

I'm not writing it for you. You have to come up with the words on your own. Just let the hate bubble up inside you and your furious, fascistic fingers will do the rest! 😡

[Dargil]

@supercutebutt I'll do my best!

[Twalli]

For me, it's more time with my fiancée. Before dating her, I asked myself the same question. I didn't feel like I was living, just existing.

[BarryLiverstone]

Use the special gifts God gives each of us to love and help others. Obey God and follow His glory

[dudeinohio]

Learn lessons and experience that leads to better growth in the afterlife.

[Ironco]

Because the alternative sucks... even at your lowest, life is better...

[Chazmatazz269]

To be of service to others

[slatyb]

There's no point except what you make of it.

[MemeSupreme]

the "what if"

[Spencer10]

Making a difference.

[Shiprex]

To experience things

[MikeMcMansion]

For God. To at least try.

[noohair]

To discover the new day.

[msc545]

It's better than the alternative.

[Anonymous]

I can't see any point in my current life.
