life help: When we die it all ends so whats the point. - Help.com

You really are confuse with all that point stuff arn’t you?

Somethings have a point that as clear for everyone to see, other things have a point that is only clear to you and then there are things that only have a point to themselves that on one else will ever understand.
Another thing you can call a point it reason, everything has a reason but not everything will be understood.
Life is one of those reasons that can never be understood and to somepeople there be no visible reason for it so you have to make your own mind up on what your reason is, everyone has one :)

I wish I could spell!

You’re right. Everyone reacts to the news of “you’re gonna die someday” differently. Even though everyone might ask the question “what’s the point in life then?” not everyone takes it literally and decides there is no point.
Each life is independent and to me, the purpose of life is to seek out happiness, do what you’d like (as you said) and find a way to be at peace with the earth. We should embrace what is good about life and celebrate all we’ve done and all we can still do!
:)

whats the point in life, well the true point in life is its pointless. it has no direction other than the ones us as humans have come to constrain ourselves to in a social setting. so really its totally up to you to decide what the point of your life will be. for me its to enjoy myself as much as possible.

But I don’t want a quick end. I take the bad with the good. So pain is fine for me today if I can smile tomorrow. To each his own.
Besides, the second terminator was better anyways.

yeah the bad comes with the good, just have to ride it out, the worse a bad moment gets the better the good moments feel, think of all the things you could do in your lifetime, sure we may have to work to earn the money to do these things but they are worth it. hey why not try skydiving or go swimming with sharks something to give you a new lease of life?

See, it’s better with a positive attitude and the ability to explore new things in life! Thanks Big Giant Head!

hey foggetaboutit, just glad to help TBH.

I always thought the point of life was to give your life a point.
I could put the whole “what’s the point of life if it’s gonna end” to anything. Say movies. What’s teh point of watching a movie, it’s just gonna end. Why listen to music, it’s just gonna end. Why make money, because it’s just gonna go away.
What’s teh point asking what’s the point of stuff? The only time people start talking like that because they are lonely and bored.

The meaning of life is just to influence and change the world around you in a positive way….then when you die you become part of the earth again to help it grow and flourish. That’s a nice way to say fertilizer but you get the idea.

Everyone has the same goal in life……. to be happy.

So playing with death makes you feel more alive? Maybe we are subconciously drawn to death because we know that what awaits us is far better than what we have now. Makes sense.

In a way, yes. But I don’t believe when I would do things such as swimming with sharks, would hope to die because I think death is better than life…that part confuses me a little.
If I were to swim with sharks, I would rather hope for an unforgettable experience to share and have for the rest of my life.

life-death.. ok when you die thats it Nada, your fcuked so you better live life to its fullest while you can.

take this song for example hopefully you take a good listent to the lyrics and take something possitive away from it… please if this dont work can someone embed it?

Happiness is inconsiquencial, I think you are all searching for a reason to be alive where none exists. We are just animals who have been given the burden of conciousness (some of us anyway). We live then die - no reason

of course there is no reason to be alive. why is tht a bad thing, surely it only frees us to do more things with our lifes? and boy trust me there are better things than dying.

In a society, we don’t live then die - no reason.
What about Albert Einstein? Benjamin Franklin? Even my mom. Her reason could have been to give birth to me and my sister. And now my sister is pregnant. So she has made a pretty good point in life I think.

Um I like that you read the part with the reason to live was but you totally didn’t comment on the point of living I made.

If you can’t differentiate between a reason and a point then this conversation is pointless. Just a FYI. BUt if you want an animalistic view, our point is to reproduce and multiply.

Since you are so wrapped up in yourself now, you won’t listed to anyone and probably should close the post.

Oh yeah and a “point” is the same darn thing as a “reason”. it’s a synonym for goodness sakes.

I didn’t mean it as for procreation purposes. I meant it like, if Benjamin Franklin’s mom decided not to have kids, would we have electricity today??

Well, the way I see it, an absence of spirituality is justification for living as long as possible? Don’t you like thinking? Don’t you enjoy being? Why would you want to end it?

I live for the collective. This society we have, this structure — our art, our science, our buildings — they are beautiful. As a society we are beautiful. We are like a million different artists painting a mural together. I have been given a little corner of the mural, and intend to make it as beautiful as possible, while helping with the whole.

The point is to enjoy life.

How can we be so sure that ‘it all ends’ when we die? On whose word and authority do we believe and assume this?

I think it’s true.

well God is the mean little kid on the top of an anthill with a magnifying glass in his hand under the sun. His POINT for your life is to test you out. see if we’re stupid enough to destroy ourselves until we’re all gone. This may actually very well happen, so we failed the test. I think the point in life is to make the best out of it while trying to not get bored. Now would i love to be able to make the best out of my life without having to go to school, work, pay bills, and deal with emotionally deteriorating relationships till i can find “THE ONE”, but unfortunately in order to do the things you want you have to have money. Money is what makes the world go round unfortunately, otherwise, I’d travel everywhere and do nothing all day but hang out with the people i love the most. Health also is something that keeps us from doing things but that’s another story.
