The Meaning of Life

[VirusType2]

You think you're a lot more special and philosophically intelligent than you really are.

What in the ****ing hell? What would give you the nerve to say this to me, and why?

I come to you people - the only people I speak to - the common HalfLife2 regulars, and ask If you think about the same things I do, becuase I've become worried that pre-meditating my own suicide has become a common activity with me...

Misery loves company - unknown author

To end my misery, and to release my family from this albatross I have become - Before I go, I want to know if anyone else thinks it is possibly foolish to continue living with regret merely becuase they are afraid to die, when death cannot be avoided by any means anyway?

that means I think I am far superior philosophically? is that what you just said to me? WTF is that supposed to mean exactly?

Look all I did was post some shit about what I have been thinking about for the past couple decades. Im laying in bed and the days are so short. Everyone on earth is dying. But everyone continues living knowing this.

I haven't got much time left and I haven't done anything important yet. I've been wasting all of my life. I haven't done anything worth-while. nothing. I haven't saved a rainforest or .. (actually i did save 2 people's lives now that I think about it) I used to party like every day, for about 15 years i was intoxicated almost every waking moment.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. - anti-drug campain

I've wasted my mind. I've wasted my time :dozey:

Right, it's your life that you're wasting on regret. Talk about irony, you're totally missing the point of life.

TheSomeone, im dying. If you knew you were going to die in 10 years how would you feel? So I guess the natural reaction is, " I WANT TO GO LIVE IT UP! 10 YEARS OF FUN! WEEEEE"

But my reaction is different. I don't know that this is special. I don't think I'm special becuase of my views on life. Im not the one cow that knows what happens in the Butchers "office". We all know we are going to die.

I'm trying to find more people with similar thoughts to my own. Knowing that im dying is a total ****ing buzz-kill (downer) and I just don't know if i can live with that - as ironic as it is.

Most people when they are young think that life is so long, but every day adds up, and it's not ****ing long. And the more you enjoy life, the less you will enjoy death. Let me rephrase that since I don't think you are that intelligent. The more fun you have on this world, the more sad you will be when your life is coming to an end.

So you might as well have a shity life and embrace death like it's a nice comfortable bed and you are exuasted. Death will be something to look forward to. Thats my philosophy.

I'm counting down the time untill I die, In case I didn't make it obvious the first time. waiting to die, waiting to live. there really is hardly a difference.
I regret that i haven't done anything great or anything to brag about. I would have liked to have gotten married, had children.. I wouldn't be here typing shit to someone I can't ****ing stand right now if i had, but every time I backed out and ruined everything. Well at least no one will miss me??

Step 1: Get a good education so you can lead an easy and fun life.

How about you get a good education becuase someone lied to you and told you that if you have a good education you get a certificate that allows you an easy and fun life pass.

Don't judge my education level from some post i made in the off-topic chat of some video game forum. What gives you the nerve to condescend me like i'm some kind of foolish child. I've seen some of your posts in the past and you aren't always exactly beaming with intelligence.

I get straight A's in college. A 5.0 GPA
And I have to work harder since I have ADHD and BI-POLAR2. By the way I'm majoring in computer science & math - not philosophy

Philosophy is the top on a cereal box - Eddi brequel

Philosophy means you think about things. Well, i am good at that, since I've had so much time. Put it this way, i think you are a lot less intelligent and philosophical than me. And thats not saying much since you just insulted me. !=/

Finally, you are correct on two points:

you know you sound like a joke right? I feel so blessed now to have your seal of approval! You and VictimofScience could be brothers!

1. The continuation of life is an instinct evolved from natural selection
2. Life is about having fun like playing games and watching TV. Of course, you have to do well in school and later in life in order to afford the time and money for games and TV.

Is this your holy ****ing shit final conclusion? As long as you do good in school that automaticaly ensures wealth and happiness?
Doing well in school, being smart, making money, and having fun are all seperate things and it doesn't require any one of them to get any of the other ones. You can be a Poor boring person or a stupid rich kid having fun in life - or any of the 16 different combinations.

I have all the time and money for games and TV but I want more than that. What kind of life is that? So when Im laying on my death bed I can say, "god my life was great! I beat super mario brothers and Halo and watched all 300 episodes of Sinefeld and 150,000 average movies, and mastrubated 1,000,000,000,000 times and had sex with *********

Your old friend is much wiser than you are.

Oh, you can tell he is "much wiser" than me becuase of 1 thing I quoted him as saying?

becuase he said, "you think about ****ed up shit" that means he is much wiser than me? How in the ****ing hell could you come to this conclusion Sherlock Holmes, and how is that so wise grasshopper?

WHO THE **** DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? you are a joke :smoking:

Anyway TheSomeone, do you think I am 15 years old? You are talking to a grown ****ing man, don't talk to me like I am a ignorant child, OK? As a matter of fact just don't even talk to me. It takes too long to argue on forums and Im tired of
wasting all of my life.

TheSomeone, some of the things you have said.. I just can't imagine why you would say it, and thats half the reason that it pissed me off so bad.

The other half was becuase they were direct insults at my intelligence, which was never in question as far as I can tell. But that is the one thing that will piss me off quicker than anything. You can call me ugly, whatever, don't call me stupid becuase I am not. Even stupid people are smarter than you think anyway. Those are the ones that will win becuase you under-estimate them, and they will be pissed becuase you constantly insulted them.

It's almost like you just gave a reply becuase you were mad that I even created a thread that had so many replies you were frustrated with too many pages of other peoples reply's to read, so you took out your irritation on me and my light-hearted thread entitled "the meaning of life" was taken too seriously.

virus is so cliche

Virus is not original, but it sums me up pretty well. You are just the Someone.

When Someone insults me, its like an attack and I swing back. I have never backed down from a fight becuase I can never lose. If i ever backed down it was only to regroup. I don't know if you may think I've over-reacted. Maybe I have. Maybe they were. Maybe I am out of line. Im out of time.

Im sorry I sound so serious all the time. I'm intense. Im tense. I'm tired. Nobody cares.

:angel:

Edited - I made it nicer

There is no meaning per se.

You will define the meaning of your own existance. You're alive, you have the choice of what to do with it. If you weren't alive, you wouldn't have the ability to define your own existance.

^^Hmm, sounds like crap but it's the best I could manage for the time being.

 

[Sulkdodds]

So, you're actually dying of some sort of horrible disease? That's a shame. I mean really, that's ****ed up and tragic. But like kirovman said, your life is your own. No matter how much bullshit gets thrown around, no matter if life's a bright blink in an infinity of darkness, a sparrow flying in from the night, flashing through a lit room and out the opposite window again into pitch-black nothing. In the end, you are a speck in the churning of a mass organism. You're one tiny step in continuous evolution. A thousand years and you'll be irrelevant. A million and you don't even exist.

But it doesn't matter.

You give your life its own meaning. Concepts like 'love' and 'good' and 'happyness' and 'fulfillment' and 'satisfaction'...sure, they're abstractions, invented by us to justify existence - but does that make them any less valid? No, I don't think it does.

The fact that there is no "meaning of life"; means all the more you should live life to the fullest and take chances whilst you can.
The average person here will only spend around 80 yrs on this earth.

I dont wanna be on my death bed, and think....
I havent achieved anything in life.

 

[dream431ca]

Everyone keeps on talking about "I didn't achieve anything in life..I didn't make a difference, I'm not important ..Ya know what...GET OVER IT!!

Life is not about changing the world or saving the world, or becoming extremely popular and having tons of kids. Life is about LIVING and that's it! Everyone keeps talking about a dreamworld in which they would like to be somebody. Well you are somebody..in reality. You know what life is?? I'll tell ya. Ya get up, go to work, take one good shit, and go back to BED! What's the big Mystery!? Come on people..get it together. Thinking like an emo will only make your life worse..cause your putting yourself down all the time..If something bad happens in life..get up...dust yourself off and get back on the horse. This is reality people, and reality is not nice. And whoever reads this and gets pissed off can :flame: :flame: FLAME:flame: :flame: me all they want...but just remember...I'm not going to powder it up to soften the blow of reality..I'm gonna say it straight to your face. Life is life and that's it...End of my spree on reality.

College definitly makes you ponder the meaning of life....since we're all stoned and drunk all the time.
