    What's the point? (Or the serious thread)

    Yes, times are that tough for me to be serious

    Lately I've found myself just questiong the point of everything. If I take a bit of time to think about something, I wonder why the hell I bother doing anything at all. Most worryingly, I can't seem to find a reason for life

    It seems that the only thing I ever do in life is circulate money around various shops, the rest of the time I'm a selfish git with little to no feelings.

    I think that all the thinking is bad for me

    You're still young, believe it or not I was like that at your age too.

    Thinking = bad.

    Gotta find something to achieve and do it!

    There is no point to anything, you have to decide if you find the good things in life worth the bad things in life.

    You've just got to keep doing things and do more things that you enjoy doing.

    The more you do the more occupied your mind should be and the less you will think about things, so if you keep your brain doing stuff you should in theory spend less time wondering what the point in doing things are.

    Although, when it comes down to it, there is no point to much as we didn't ask to be put on this earth..but you've got to make the most of what you have as when its gone Im sure you would miss it.

    Affect some changes in your so that when you get a quiet moment to think.. you can just smile inside...




    ...i'm not there yet

    I think a hell of a lot when there is no noise, but I've got the foundation for good life so.. muddle through, I'm sure you can to.

    And when in doubt.. POONTANG!!

    And if the bad outweigh what good I can see? If there's more crap in life than you're prepared to take, is it even worth having one?

    Forgot to mention I occasionally suffer depression and/or suicidal impulses

    I think this is the begginning of another downwards fall

    Re: What's the point? (Or the serious thread)

    well TBH.... what IS the point in everything?

    what the hell are daddy long legs for?

    I cannot define life itself, I do not believe anyone can, but our lives on this planet can be defined. Our lives are collections of experiences, choices, and actions. That's it. Choices and actions are obvious. Experiences include things like emotions, love, thoughts, sensory input, etc. Can you think of anything in our lives that is not an experience, choice, or action? I can't.

    What is the point of defining life in such simple and general terms? It shows that the only things we can gain from this life are the memories of our experiences and possibly spiritual salvation or other spiritual benefits if you are religious. Given that our choices and actions and the choices and actions of the people around us shape our experiences, we must consider our choices well; they define our lives.
    i did spend a whole week pondering what the whole meaning of life was about.... (back in secondary school... such a long time ago )
    and all i could come up with while i was thinking was... right.. so your born to provide for the world... you work to better the world and keep yourself alive so that you can add more to the world... some people add more to the world than others, but without the whole range of people in the world... there would be no world, only a singular nation, if things went wrong it would be upon the nation to sort itself... if something went wrong inside the nation the whole nation falls as one... the experiences of the nation would be shared as one...

    By all means a blank and empty life is all that you can see before you... but that is what it is... a blank canvas that you don't know what is going to happen... the past cannot be changed...

    "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."

    you are handed a blank canvas, you cannot forsee what you are going to do with your canvas... you just have to take things as they turn up... if you try painting too much on your canvas at once then the image becomes cloudy... your mind is like water... when it is aggitated, it is difficult to see... but if you allow it to settle then everything becomes clear...


    in short.... Take life as you find it, but don't leave it that way

    It sounds like you need to upgrade your PSU. Look at the corsair TX 650W

    Re: What's the point? (Or the serious thread)

    I get like that sometimes. My problem (as I am so very often told) is that I think too much and don't drink enough!

    My other problem is a lack of motivation and that comes from a lack of goals in my life. Ambition is good to give you something to aim for. However, you can get into a downward spiral, with your attitude that nothing is worth it making it hard to find goals in your life to motivate yourself. When that happens, then you usually need either something dramatic to happen to yourself to "snap" you out of it, or some external factor (friends and family).

    My suggestion is to go and find a hobby. I know that in your frame of mind it seems pointless (been there, and in regards to some things, still am!). See what your friends are into and go and try it yourself (assuming it's legal!). Or go travelling; something I plan to do next year when I can get more flexible time off.

    Good advice from Gerrard... but I would still go for the corsair... and I think staffsMike has picked out the best bits again.

    Around £340, you might want to add a better cooler though

    or this mobo

    JK, there isn't a "point" to life that anyone else can tell you about. At the end of the day, you have to find something that works for you. I can tell you now though that if you're feeling this low, you should go get some meds. They're not an answer but they do help for the time being.

    This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
