I agree that life is pointless, but what do I know!. As far as I'm concerned you just live to dieWww@QuestionHome@Com

Life in general is pointless!. You just stay alive until you die then it's all over!. You get 70 some years for living and an eternity of not existing!. Who gives a **** what you do!? Save a life, save the world, rob a bank, ruin the world!.!.!. it's all the same!.

The only reason life would mean anything is if the religious people got it right and there's more!. But that doesn't seem to be the case!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

not me im athiest!. i beleive life is supposed to be spent the best it can, have as much fun as you can and do what you love!. screw anyone else!. lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

NOONE can substitute me - I am a hardcore Christian here to change the world, find someone who can match that!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. I believe that God created me (and the ant), that he values both of us, and that because He loves His creation, He has made contact with us and has a perfect plan for our lives!.
From a naturalistic perspective, yes, life is pointless!. The strongest, the toughest, the meanest win!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

noone can substitue me!. In order to do that they would need to be my exact weight, my exact height, they would need to sleep the exact same way and time I do to breath the exact same way!. Not only that but they would need to live in the exact same time as ME which IS IMPOSSIBLE in this world for to do that he would have to be inside of me, so I guess you could say there is a infinite ammount of me in one place at one time for as long as I am here!.

Yeah I kind of think life is pointless but you know what I do when I think this way!? I start to think about other things!.

Ignorance is bliss my friend and somethings are better left being ignored especialy the inevitable and unchangable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

not pointles, well at most we can hope to be a statisic!. like in history u hear the percents of ppl that lived and the population count!. but never a name of a real person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

life is not pointless!. only when you choose to make it pointless!. and its not just going to school, having a job and then dieing!. There is fun stuff to look forward to inbetween!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that life is a bit pointless!. My religion tells me there's a life after Earth, so why waste time down here!.

If you look at it in a secular motion, life would still be pointless!. You live, die, decay, and it's the end!.

Make the best of your life while you still have it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Whether or not my life has any significance in 10k years, it has significance now!. Which is all (IMO) it needs to have to be worth something!. Not much in the grand scheme of things, I agree!. But "not much" is not "no value at all"!.
I think it is fair to say that very few individuals are important singularly!. I believe that people's lives are important in the aggregate!.
And not only humans, but all living things, since they (again in the aggregate) make the world a working system!.

In the long term, I can confidently declare that ANYONE can substitute me!.
In the short term, and among a VERY small segment of humanity I can confidently declare that no one can replace me!.

It would seem that the answer to you question is essentially a matter of context!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know that noone can substitute me when I see the look on my mom's face when she sees me!.!.!. when my dog runs up to me when I come home!.!.!. when my boyfriend calls me by the ridiculous nickname he came up with for me, knowing that any other girl would beat him senseless for it but I love it!.!.!.!.
I know nobody can dance quite as recklessly without caring who's watching at any given time!.!.!.!. nobody can fit into my skull and roses rubber cowboy boots and walk down the street without blushing!.!.!.!.

You carve your own little niche in the world!. You matter to the people that love you and if you truly want to, I believe anybody is capable of creating the type of impact that generations later people will talk about - but it takes a ton of determination and hard, hard work!.
I'll be happy if I've got people around me that would genuinely miss me if I was gone!.

As to the people living 10,000 years from now!.!.!.!.!.
I'll be glad if our species manages to survive in it's current state for the next 500 !

And as to the ant running on my table!.!.!.!.
Maybe I'll try to brush it down, accidentally knock over my water glass, slip in the puddle, bump my head and suddenly realize that I can invent a new quantum physics accelerator!.!.!.!.

Anything's possible my friend!Www@QuestionHome@Com

very pointless!.
there is no point!. but if nobody was living on this world, it would be wasted, but it would last a lot longer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pointless only in the sense we keep making the same mistakes over and over!. Met a lady that if she were male could substitute me!. I thank God she is female, she's my girl!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Life is pointless from an objective view, but it has a subjective point!. Just by being alive, you instill meaning into your experience!. There's no way to know if the meaning you see is "objectively real," but that ultimately doesn't matter; you have the ability to focus your awareness on whatever you want, and when you do that becomes the point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think Life is pointless to people who use life well!. I think life has its advantages and its disadvantages!. For ex-sample: For people who live themselves truly and live their life to the best everyday then no life isn't pointlesss at all!. Life is only pointles when you give it up cause you can't get it back!. Disadvantages about life is that it can either be too quick or too slow!.

I hope this helps answering your question :)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It would appear to be that way

Your next question how many of you can confidently declare that no one can substitute you!? No one can't substitute me

life is a beautiful thing!.!.!.!.
if one were to be alone, life would be pointless!. But what you do in life is huge!. You know how in all those time travel movies, they say, "don't step on a butterfly" and all that, because it will change everything!? S
It's true!. One makes an impact in life, to be remembered, and to change something!.If no one ever remembers you, you don't change anything, and don't rebel about something you think is wrong, your life is pointless!. Dr Martin Luther King Jr!.'s life was VERY promising and had a point!. He made his permanent mark on the world!. Life happens, and you've only got one shot!. Take it like someone is trying to steal it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
