What's the point of being alive?
437291
If there was a specific point to life, one thing you had to do to "win", one thing that absolutely everyone had to work towards or one thing that absolutely everyone had to do... do you really believe that would be better? I think that "why bother?" would be a very good question to ask a person living in a world like that. \n\nInstead you get to pick your own things to work towards, your own reasons for living. Nobody can tell you what the point of your life is, you have to decide that for yourself. That's why it's worth bothering - you can actually enjoy doing and working towards things when everyone in the world isn't doing and working towards the exact same things. \n\nThe point is that there is no point, and that is why it is good.

Life gives the living something to do until death.

To follow God and try to follow his instructions (the bible) to get to heaven. Thats what I know. The point of living on earth is to bring others to Christ so they can come to heaven with you! :)

Why does there have to be a purpose? Just live your life the best way you can, try to be happy and not hurt other people, abide by the law of the land. Don't over analyse.

We are the accidental products of unthinking natural processes, and therefore the meaning and purpose of life can be anything we choose.  For myself, I didn't choose to exist, but now I'm here I want to enjoy life, bring up my kids well, leave the world a slightly better place than when I joined it, and die having no major regrets about what I have or haven't done in my life.

THERE IS NO POINT IN LIVING. That's right, there is no meaning, no aim, and it doesn't end with death. When you die, you won't go to heaven, nor to hell, but you will be born again, instantly. And not to a different life, but to this self-same life, equally aim- and meaningless. There is no escape. The only thing that can justify your life is JOY (the feeling of power).\n\nEDIT:\n\nWhen I wrote the above, I did not know that you were only 12. I was a bit irritated by your question, but perhaps this was by something I read into it. The thing is that I am fed up with people who use the implications of an idea - for instance, that it berefts life of meaning, or that it undermines morality - against the idea itself, e.g., "it must be false, because otherwise life would have no meaning", or "because otherwise there would be no responsibility". These are emotional arguments - arguments that apply to one's "humaneness". But I have repudiated humaneness. - Man is something that must be overcome.\n\nEDIT 2:\n\nAs for the procreation question, I tend to symbolise this with the Indian reincarnation theory. Procreation is reincarnation in the literal sense, as the parents' genes "become flesh again" (this is the literal meaning of "reincarnation") in their child(ren). This is rebirth in the literal sense. In India, however, the goal of such rebirths is to eventually produce a child who does not need to procreate because it is self-realised: "What is the point of offspring to him whose soul is the world?" This child, who is the goal of the reincarnation process, does not, like his ancestors, posit the goal of his life *beyond* himself; his goal is the joyful affirmation of himself, and thereby, of existence itself. He is the link that justifies the whole chain. I believe that Jesus - the real, historical Jesus, who I believe was Julius Caesar - was such a justification of existence. This is, I believe, the psychological reason why he was posited as a *goal* for other people to strive for: so that they could, eventually, in the course of many generations, produce a child who would likewise justify existence.

Life is what you make of it. We're all here for a reason, but that reason is different for every single one of us. The purpose of us living is to fulfill the above, to find out the reason we're here and achieve the goal in satisfying ourselves that we've found out that reason and completed it.

An interesting question to answer as it is by default infinetly unanswerable. Imagine that feeling that you get when you wake up from the worst hangover of your life, you look outside and the sky is lifeless, grey, boring not even the once tedious sound of birds fill the air. Nothing.Silence, you realise suddenly that you are the last human alive. Why? What is my purpose? no purpose... you die.There. No life, no wind, no rain, no music, no shouting, no passion, nothing, a terrible vacuum of nothingness. But...things can only get better...

Every living being has a unique purpose for which he/she/it was made.  You will be able to understand it only if you live your life to the full..\nSo, stop worrying and if at you haven't started yet... start now.. Start living. \nPlease Don't exist.

just ask yourself-why have you come to this world??? i dont mean to get all "religious" with you, but it's true that god sent you to this world for some reason-you find out what it is and serve god you think is right.  so if you fee like all's lost-think about WHAT's lost, and how that has anything to do with why you're here.   what's the point of doing anything if you're just going to die one time or another.  so you might as well do what you can in this world while you still have time-dont waist it...

is there a point to this?

None at all.  When you're dead, you're dead.  It's best to make the most of your life, because it's all you get.

Some would suggest that just being alive means you are studying psychology - however as to your question, this is a High School course. Although you truly don't understand all the systems and theories until college.

There is no "reason" for living.  The reason that you live is for whatever you choose it to be.

I hope.\nIve been asking myself this but I can never find the answer.\nI hope life has a meaning because then what would the point be?

When you die, that's it.  There is no purpose to life except the purpose you give it.  \n\nThis may seem depressing if you've never pondered it before, but once you accept it, it's immensely liberating.
