WHAT U THINK LIFE IS?

i was jus wonderin how everyone feels about life. what do u think life is? whats tha point? is it really worth it?

this is how i feel. i think there are thousands of levels of reality and this one is life. above and below we know as death cause death is not being in life anymore. im startin to think that my reality isnt life at all. i already lived and died. i dont know how or why but this is my hell. the same day over and over without knowing. same thoughts and actions everyday and this will never end. maby every day i go on these boards and type the same things. maby everyday i have the false hope of getting off probation. i have a past but no future. this thought scares the shit out of me sometimes but maby this is it. i dun know if this makes sense to anyone but it does to me so if ya can try ur best to understand it.

hmmm life i really dont know...i guess i live my so called reality day by day thinking maybe one day it will end. not really sure actully.

life is what you make it

The purpose of your life is to be friends with God. He does not need worship, gifts or sacrifices, but he surely loves to be where his friends are. Be his friend, he is already yours.
Do something different today, do something scary, like visit an old folks home and find a veteran to talk to. Confined to a bed staring at the ceiling day after day with no visitors is a far worse hell than you know.
It's the 4th of July, if fireworks are legal for you, have fun.
If you are all depressed and doing nothing but drinking all day, at least try a fine wine or a different beer. Point is, try some change to get out of a rut.

amen to that

i dont know what life is, i dont know why we're here, what we're here for, what happens when we die, no one really does.. we all have faith that something is true but none of us, not a single one, knows what life is meant for, how we got here etc.. so as far as i see it, im not gonna spend my life trying to figure out why im here, im just gonna make the most out of the fact that im here in the first place.. peace

yeah man if i stay doin the same thing for more than a couple of days then i start to lose it, i need some sort of change now and again. But i have thought about what life is actually about loads over the past few years and i agree with dog420. I figure if you are happy then you are living a good life.

good luck

S :cool:

i jus think its hard to believe that there is a god of mankind, what about that trees, the wind, the other animals, they die and its non existance, but a human dies and goes to some eternal state of bliss and tranquility. how could this be probable or possible. i have a friend or aquaintence die every month and i cant imagin them floating around with halos and harps. i cant imagin anyone doin that. i think maby life was one giant accident. u know like the mold u get in ur tuna but we evolved to work with our giant rock.


PS id rather live in a nursing home staring at the cieling all day than have to walk down tha street and be afraid that one of tha many people that dont like me are gonna beat tha shit outta me wit bats or even a gun. maby im schozfrentic but at least i could sleep at night. dun get me wrong im not afraid of death. its the thought of (if its true) my soul being trapped in my rotting corpse. sort of a cought between gateways idea

exactly what i was gonna say dog!


You need to enjoy what time u have on this earth and cherish all your memorys, i like to live my life to the fullest I love taking chances and risk it what keeps me motivated i hate bullshitting why should u when u can just go for what u want;). I never beat myself up over mistakes i have made i just move on and learn from them. I guess maybe cus i ain't getting any younger but yeah don't be so down about life. It is what u have so love it!!!!!! :)

Life is a tower built with an infinite number of tortoises (we, the human race, are on the top). Now, since the human race is so heavy compared with the tortoise we're sitting on, the top-tortoise is like "What the hell? Get off my back you dirty monkees!" And that tortoise shakes us off into the abyss...but while we're falling, a second tortoise swoops down (this tortoise has humongous gargoyle wings) picks us up with its teeth, and flies off.
We ask it "where in the world is Carmen Sandiago?"
To which it replies "You are Carmen Sandiago. REJOICE!"
Then the giant tortoise gives a bellowing laugh, like Santa Claus, and we magically turn into another infinite stack of tortoises. The End.

Well I think it's a bunch of bs myself. Just from a womans point of view.When you are a kid life is alright. But once you hit the big 18 mark it's all down hill from then on. Your parents are no longer eager to pay your way. You become a poor college student if you go to school. If not you become a poor bastard working at 7-11 forever. You party your 20's away with drugs and alcohol. If you do happen to find someone you love and get married more than likely three kids later and 20 pounds heavier it will end. Then you are in your late 30's alone and desperate. All that partying you did in your 20's has caused premature wrinkles. All those tanning sessions has left you looking like a dried up piece of cow hyde. Your kids are brats and draining you just like you drained your parents. By 40 you hit menopause. All that work you did to your body when you were younger is gone. Your kids left stretch marks on your ass and belly. Your thighs are all gone to hell. Your boobies sag. And then at 50 you start making plans for retirement but by then from supporting your kids with no husband your retirement fund is gone. You rely on medicare and medicaid. Then you start forgetting shit. And your kids slap you in a nursing home by the age of 65 because you get on their nerves. And for the next 10-20 years of your life someone you don't even know is wiping your ass and putting diapers on you like you are a two year old. Yeah life is great.

Or Nancy, you can go through life with a possitive outlook and a big smile on your face and actually enjoy life. Yeah not everything will be happy of course, but not everything will be shitty also. Life is definately what you make it out to be. Read my signature! :)

Hey I enjoy life. There are things in life that I love doing. But I still have to keep it real lol.

Keep it real huh? lol I try to keep it real positive! :) Life is not just a bunch of crap.

Well I feel more sound preparing myself for the big let down that old age is going to bring me. That way when it does happen I won't need therapy or anything. I probably need therapy now lol. But the fact is thinking that life is bs doesn't make me sad. It just keeps me in touch with reality lol.

Nancy, smile dammit! I know, I know, life gets you down sometimes, me, too. Glad to have you back, by the way. No one ever said to me, "Mary life will be all sunshine and roses." Life has ups and downs, and if it didn't, it would be enchanted. And if we lived enchanted lives we'd never be grateful for good times. Karma, baby. If I project a positive outlook, it'll come back to me.

I am smiling. I smile a lot. I just don't sugar coat anything.

I don't think old age is a let down, just getting closer to moving on. That's why you should enjoy the life you have now. Or are you going to wait until you are old and say "damn I missed the hell out"???? I think smoking too much cannabis keeps one out of touch with reality and life. Of course I have nothing against smoking cannabis, that's silly, but I do find that habitual users don't do as much or are not as active as only moderate users. I am a strong believer in Karma, the more good you do, the more that will come your way. Just smiling at someone on the street can change their day towards a more possitive one and seriously effect things. That's why I try and stay very freindly and possitive towards everyone. I find that negative people tend to make others unhappy. It is true that misery loves company. Whatever your outlook, be aware that it can effect others just as it effects yourself.

I smile at people on the street and stuff. I don't sit and wish people would die or bad things would happen to them. I bitch a lot but that's just normal for me. That's how I let my frustration with the world out lol. I'm always doing something. Even though it may not seem so. Because I say I just like to get high and sit around. But once a month I usually go and do something. Whether it be going out to eat or just doing something out of the ordinary. I don't think I'm missing out. I mean thsi summer i'm going to ozzfest. That's a big deal for me. That's enough fun for two summers all packed into 16 hours.

therapy sux, i been to tons of counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists. the only one that helped any was my psychiatrists cause they loaded me up on meds but eventually u feel like a walkin zombie.

for those of you who enjoy a good read, "the lovely bones" by alice sebold is excellent. it may give a little hope.

life is not always what you make of it. some of us are handed a pile of shit and made to deal with it. but there are those who had quite the blissfull little childhood and this great little outlook on life. i think those people need a good dose of reality.

i'm trying to pick up the shattered pieces of my young life wondering what i did to deserve what has happened to me. but in reality i didn't do anything to bring such hardships into my life. it just happened, i was born into it.

my religious beliefs are complicatedly simple. there is a "god." i like to call it nature. not some big dude hanging out on a cloud with some spiffy long white robe and beard. scientifically speaking, life is order in a world of disorder. nature controls this order. humans are no more special than the rodents we so carelessly extermintate because we all originated from the same place afterall. now, imagine what it was like before you were born, no conciousness, absolute nothingness. that, in all likelyhood, is death. of course i hope it's not.

**warning: religious people may be offended by the following**
i believe religion in it's most popular form (organized) was created for two reasons. one: social control. now we couldn't very well have people running around willy-nilly killing, cheating, fucking the neighboor's spouse, etc. conveniently we have handy-dandy rules set out for us under whatever religion one follows, and with it specific penalty, ussually some sort of tortureous after-life. this lovely little rule book sets us up a position of control. well of course the holder of such a position has to be a "god" or a messanger of such. take a look at every and any known society and you'll see at least one common trait: the leader or ruler has some spiritual supremacy, be it the pope, the tsar, or some shaman. i could go on, but i won't. reason number two: a means to comfort human curiosity. most if not all religions teach some sort of after-life/heaven/hell. humans are unique in our comprehension of death (thought not completely unique, a number of other species have been know to show such comprehension). i know plenty people out there are comforted by the thought that they have someting to look forward to, not dread, when their life ends. now there's nothing wrong with believing in something. i just think too many follow blindly without any real thought. my favorite quote (though i don't remember who said it anymore) "religion is a nuerological disorder." i just thought it was funny.

so back to the original question. what is life? does it really matter? we all have it. we just have to live it the best way we know how.

Except for massage therapy! :)

Counselors and psychiatrists are full of crap. Never go for therapy it's a waste of money.
