What's the point of life?

[Lucio]

Right now, I feel like things are going nowhere and I don't have any goals or ambitions. What do you guys use as your motivation? Is there a point to life at all, because right now it, things seem utterly bleak.

Get someone pregnant, then you realise your fulfilling the meaning of life, but my god loosing a lot of sleep doing it!

But on a more serious note, unless your on your deathbed your gunna have plenty more years to experience life to its full. You can't predict whats round the corner, and you can't plan happiness but things pop up and change your life, and over time, almost always for the better! Keep your chin up and just take comfort in little pleasures (treating yourself to a new game/component/etc you've always wanted, or a good night out with friends or a good program on TV etc) and take each day/week as it comes.

Iv got my final year at university, where im gunna be away from my gf & daughter for 1-2 weeks at a time, that along with my family living abroad ( South Africa) and the pressure of needing a good degree (Automotive engineering) and the massive incentives my family are piling on me to do that mean when I look at the next 9 months as a whole it sends me weak at the knees & makes me feel ill, but you just gotta take each day as it comes! If everybody looked at the challenges they faced over the next year in one go, it would drown most people out.

edit; Out of curiosity & only if you choose to answer but, how old are you/at what stage are you in life (middle/end of career/at college etc)?

edit2; Put it this way, a year ago last month I had a very messy break up with my gf of 2.5 years, i wrote off my car & id just come back from my yearly trip seeing my parents. I still had 4 weeks to go until university started and was staying with my grandparents. I spent my 21st birthday in tears(all plans involved gf/car), and i had no one to turn to (parents via MSn aside). And that was before i found out my (then) ex gf was pregnant. A year on & my life has totally changed, turns out being a father has been one of the best mistakes i made, me & m gf are back together again having spent 6 months working together over it. I couldn't have planned the last year out & despite feeling at my worst several times iv come through it fighting & am happier as a result.

Point to life?

There is none. Unless of course you count procreation and being part of the food chain....

[TheAnimus]

see how many paracetamol you can drink with a bottle of vodka?

Happyness in its guises can be found i'm told, at least the lows make the highs better i guess.

I must admit if it wasn't for the people it would hurt i'd off topped myself long ago.

The problem comes, when I decide it would be crewl to not bring those who care for me suffering to an end, killing them too. So then you have to figure out all those who they care about and then you realise its easier to get drunk and just have rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish.

Christ.

= Joy, peace, happiness, fulfillment, adventure, contentment, humour, love, healing, wholeness, holiness, etc

We are spiritual beings with a physical body (not the other way around), and no matter the success in life, it all comes to dust, unless we have Christ.

I'm glad you're asking the question now, rather than later.

Alcohol & drugs.

Just kiddin

Family & loved ones, what keeps me going on the dark days. A hug from one of the kids just puts everything in perspective

I'm not sure there is a point but that doesn't mean that life's not worth living.

Ultimately it's a balance between the good and the bad. Most of the time we bimble along in neutral with small things happening that veer between the good and bad. Occasionally, something major will come along which tips that balance, sometimes into the positive but often into the negative. It's the negatives we notice the most, unfortunately.

You're going through a bad patch at the moment, accept it without trying to understand it except that this is what happens in life. This too shall pass though it feels never ending when you're going through it.

Don't give up, think of positive things if you can and if you can't, think of going to your doctor and arranging some counselling? We're all here to listen/offer support if you want to vent/talk.

I've had a few bleak spells and I find keeping busy and keeping my mind off the bad stuff helps a bit. It's also very easy to hand out advice, much tougher to take it and get through these things. Hang on in there, the worm *will* turn.

No offence intended (well not much...) but...

I'm cool. I'm looking after myself,
And I could never place wealth before my spirit,
I feel it's unhealthy,
The devil creep around you so stealthy, stealthy
Till ya get bold, rush the gold,
And before ya time is over,
Ya soul is sold, where's it gettin ya?
Competition starts sweatin ya,
Golddiggers setting you up,
Soon be forgetting your existence?
Do ya need a for instance,
I hav to admire your persistence
In sticking to a game plan,
That brings ya pain man,
And at the end of the day nothing is gained,
So listen to the voice within,
I'll see ya later,
Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator.

I keep lying and trying,
Denying the call from inside
Ya can't hide responsibility
So decide from today just how it's gonna be,
Thou shalt have no other god but me,
So set ya free see,
But you'll have to listen,
And who's that false idol
I see you kissing?
Money, success and untold wealth, good health
And all ya have to do is love yourself.
It's a fact you'll attract all the things that ya lack,
So just chill
And get off the race track
And take a pace back, face facts,
It's your decision,
You don't need eyes to see,
You need vision

FSM.

= Joy, peace, noodles, happiness, fulfillment, meatballs, adventure, contentment, sauce, humour, love, healing, wholeness, holiness, something to eat on mondays etc.

We are food loving beings, with a body that requires sustainance, and no matter what life is (so there is NO point in playing that game, its nothing compared to eternity), it all comes to a end, unless you have FSM.

If you are lead astray, and don't take the guiding hand of his noodlely appendadges, all can still be saved. You just only get one helping of meatballs for eternity. Remeber that you heathens.
