why is life so pointless

[bobforapples]

Why did life and other biological organisms come to form on this planet? Nothing matters at all, why do people try so hard at life, is it because our genes make us? Are there really people out there who don't want to kill themselves everday at least once or twice when they realize how stupid life is?

We are mould on a rock. So fuck it, let's party.

is it all the drugs that the government is using to make me sad or is it that I know too much and that makes me sad, would I be better off as a religious person who refuses to accept anything but a books word.

people can't change the world, are we powerless against the collective whole, why bother with living

the greatest french thinkers realized existence is absurd so just make it whatever ya want and find comfort in that. i spend my life skateboarding poorly, somebody else is a plumber. neither one is quantify-ably better, everything is just what you perceive it as.

Try helping somebody else out...you'll realize life isn't as pointless as you thought.

ancient minneapolis skater once said 'life truly begins after u cut off ur dick and eat it'

[sexualhelon]

There's so many ways to think about that and knowledge is power but ignorance is bliss.

Rene Descartes decided that the proof of his own existence was in the observation that he thought - had a mind that could think. So he decided that because he could think, he must exist.

I think. Therefore I am.

On a side note, this very guy once walked into a bar and ordered a drink. Bartender brought him a drink. After a while the barkeep noticed his glass was near empty. Another drink, Mr. Descartes?

I think not, said Rene.

And disappeared.

But really, people say that shit like, "you matter to the people who know you". There's so many jobs where people sit in cubicles next to all these other people for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and yet know nothing about each other. If you're saying that to someone who's constantly moved around or actually doesn't have a close circle of friends with a shitty job then what are they really holding on to? In comparison to that you can see examples of celebrities or just insanely accomplished people who have overdosed purposefully but seemingly had it all. Some guys always got it better and some guys always got it worse you just have to find what makes you happy or a way to vent your sadness.

^Agreed.

Also, what would you like me to point at then?

don't let oblivion get you down.

spend some time with really young kids and you might remember how exciting life once was for you too and stop over thinking it.

Accept the inevitable and understand that it's suppose to be a bumpy ride.

[Shredsledder]

I think; Therefore I am.

that's all well and good but what is "I"?

Re: why is life so pointless

Short Answer "Yes" with an "If"...

Long Answer "No" with a "But"...

i get like this sometimes when i'm not distracted by friends, the internet, or some task i gotta do.

also when i look in the mirror for more than ten seconds my whole world melts away and i'm just naked on a rock flying through space like the acid hammered into my brain. but the constant exploration of consciousness and the discoveries of either greater truths or subtle nuances i've never noticed before help to keep me interested in life.

social interactions can help expand your views and can change your mood for days at a time. you can talk with anyone and have an uplifting conversation if you get past the introductions and eventually try to get at the meat and meaning of the human experience.

just talking these things out with friends or people on the internet can help to smooth the road in your mind when it gets bumpy. spend too much time in your head and everything is fucked.
