Life... Most Variable and broadest topic. To live has many definitions or meanings. Many have what we refer to as the "Good Life" what really is the good life? since when did mankind pull up to standards . what is the standard and how do we measure how good we have lived?
That is left up to those whom lived out there lives. Life of course has many hardships. for some it gets better. for some it worstens. But what truly is the meaning of life? To experience living.... how to describe it. But really. Life doesnt have a single or definitive meaning becuase theres too many variables. Shall i make a difference as a Doctor or Lawyer? Whom or Whom i will not help. Decisions upon Decisions. Life Choices. In the end there is no single meaning or purpose in life. for some it may be Firefighting. Others may Choose to Go into the Armed Forces. Life is a Blessing. We have the Oppurtunity to exist. we have the chance to make a difference anyway we can. Again. Tis up to us how we put meaning and purpose. noone else can guess that. What are you going to do with your life? what meaning shall you put into it? what do YOU want out of life?


A bit of what i want:
Someone to share my life with
Possibly a family (Kids)
a Career i enjoy
I love to bring joy and happiness to anyone.

A bit of what i want. but thats my goals. my intentions. you decide.

back to the topic

ok

why do we do things or suffer this things

and  in the end were just gonna die

(sorry if my question has been repeated)

Why do we suffer? That's not really related...if so, quite abstractly aru ne...

As I said above, we establish the meaning of our lives through a purpose. I guess, when we suffer, it is possible that someone/something else is dictates our lives instead - generally in a fashion we dislike

If our bullying is reason we are suffering - It is bullies are dictating our lives and making us suffer
If poverty is the reason we are suffering - money is dictating our lives and its absence are making us suffer.

Overcoming such things is definitely a very difficult and daunting task. However, overcoming these things give your life a sense of purpose. A sense of purpose gives you a reason to live. Hence, the meaning of your life has appeared ^^.

Now Death. Most people see death as the end. However, I view death as incentive.Since i don't know when I'll have to leave, I might as well give myself a purpose while I'm here. I don't want to die knowing I could've done this or I could've tried at that. Only through living a ife of purpose will you gain a meaning to your life.

Btw, Happy Bday D.kaiser-kun! Try to make your sentences a little bit more understandable.
Btw, @ Jiz-kun and Kei-kun, Arigato Gozaimasu

thanks you have enlightened my life 30% (the other 70% is unknown)

here's how I put it

either life is a chase or life is a vegetable garden

the saddest thing is, for a selfish person, life is a joke

if ya want, I could give something deeper than that(like maybe explaining it)

alright

let me first say, that all those of you who said the purpose of life was to have fun, have a very good point

and it's true that living must have a meaning given by the one living it

I just think they're intertwined. When you think of it, isn't the entire purpose of attaining a goal purely for attaining happiness? As humans, we have a driving mentality to make things better for ourselves, and in that, we give ourselves purpose. After all, if we suceed in attaining our goal, we make ourselves happy

The sad thing is, our happiness can't be pin-pointed, and we're left with no true idea of what will bring us happiness

It's like we're little specks all searching for a meaning in life in a large world, were doing so means finding it. In that, life is a chase

What makes it all confusing is our own need to make things better no matter what(and this is governed by how we are molded)

I think the best way to explain it is by the most simple means(for cartoon fans)

how many people here like the loony toons(They're hilarious :lol: )

even in all the mirth and tomfoolery in the series, it's still good for making you think

take a look at Wile.E.Cayote

notice how he's just one creature in a huge desert?

For him, happiness is finding and catching road-runner. The sad thing is, he never can, Road-runner is simply too elusive and he never succeeds. In a sence, this is an idea of what attaining happiness is. For him, the place where road-runner is standing, eating seeds, is a place of happiness. If he was there, he could catch that crazy bird and finally have a good meal. But sadly, every time he gets close, road-runner is off again, and blazing down the road, and when he gets close to where the road-runner is next, he'll just be left in the duast again

It's the same with us. In all these thousands of years we've been on this planet, we've done everything in our power to advance and make life better for ourselves, endlessly trying to attain a plataeu of advancement. Sadly, in all those thousands of years, here we are now and we've reached the pinicle of technological advancement and yet we're left wondering "Is this True happiness"

even though we've got all the convinience in the world, we still haven't attained true happiness. Despite our technology, we're now loosing many of the better aspects of our selves(like arts and poetry), and the closer we get to this kind of happiness we've been trying to attain for so very long, we've been left wanting to get back to our more deep-minded type of thinking. In a way, life pulls a "Meep Meep" and we're back to chasing some other ideal for happiness

That's one reason why I believe that people who dislike TV, Movies, Cars, and all that other popculture stuff, are often just trying to look cool. Just because it apears to kill the soul, doesn't mean it's depraved. If anything, there's something artistic about it. The fact is, all happiness is in some way, a form of indulgence(because happiness is a gift we abuse) and it will eventually kill the soul in the same way

So yes. All happiness is valid in some way, and the truth is, all happiness will leave you feeling empty(even "Pure" kinds of happiness, like love, peace and friendship)

Then there's Sylvester and Tweety

it's a bit sad that Sylvester can never catch Tweety, because if he ever tries, he'll just get batted by granny's broom. Unfortunatly for him, the closer he gets to catching that bird, the more hurt he gets(and usually results in pain). If he were a good and obidient cat, he'd just sit still and stop trying to catch tweety, and from there, he'd have peace(albiet, an empty stomach only able to be filled with lousy cat-food, but peace nontheless)

to say it outright, the higher you jump to reach the bird-cage, the harder you fall when you miss the bird cage(cuz it's a long drop, all the way from the ceiling)

anyway, I'll continue this thought later(I'll continue more on the chase, to vegtable garden to joke later)

Life is a gift. Wether you trash it or not is up to you. If you trash it, there is only one thing I can say to that. God don't give refunds.

You're absolutely right! trashing wouldn't be very great. you have just one life so live it! I, myself have to go to my mom's academy everyday for 3 hours and I get smart! I play, eat, go to my mom's academy, and sleep! This way others hate me. so the question about life is actually in my head,"IS THERE MORE TO LIFE?"
