Question: What's the point of living if we all will die in the end!?

I get really confused all these people worried about their lives, looking for someone to love so they won't die alone and studying in the best Colleges to get a job that they probably will lose!. We live to die so I just don't take life that seriouslyWww@QuestionHome@Com

We live in order to be able to help other generations, everything we do can be a huge discovery, in order to accomplish all we want even if we die, we don't know what happens next, and we shouldn't care!. Death is not going to rip away all the things you did in life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

what happens in between is pretty cool!. Maybe we should not take life "that seriously" being able to an observer as apposed to trying to control and get the most out of it may be counter productive!.

find a curiosity and ride it as far as it will take you!. it will take you to the next curiosity and through a fulfilled life worth sharing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I completly relate to this!

I used to be utterly depressed because of this idea!.

"Why the hell do people bother!?!? We're all going to end up dead and buried! Everyone's chasing possesions and education and it can't go with them! What the ****!?!?"

But I did a 180!. I realized that if I'm going to die, then I better make the best of my life!.

At first I went in the direction of partying all the time to make the most of life!. I did drugs everyday!. And then I got addicted to heroin!. I realized, although hedonism is nice, it creates reprcussions in life that ultimatly deter happiness!.

So I realized then, that balance was the key to long-standing happiness!.

Anyway, what changed my mind about life was this rationale:

If this is my one shot at life; if there is no afterlife, then I better enjoy it while I can!. Feel happy for most of it!. Why rush the inevitable!? Why waste it feeling miserable!? I can't control/change the fact that I die, but I can change how I feel!.!.

This was helped along by anti-depressents as well!. It turned out I had serious depression, which makes sense, as I was thinking these thoughts at 8 years old!. haWww@QuestionHome@Com
