Question: What's the point in!.!.!. anything!?
I mean, I was just thinking how a lot of people love reading, singing, improving their skills and such!. And then I thought (for the millionth time), if you're going to die eventually, then why taunt yourself with all this knowledge!. What!? Will it come in good use when you're dead!?
I mean!.!.!. I adore reading, and writing for that matter!.!.!. writing, there is a point- to let the rest of the world (all generations worth), hear your story!.!.!. but all the studying, reading, schooling!.!.!. learning in general- is there really a point!? I know it's fun and it feels good to have to knowledge, but it all seems like such a waste!.
I could spend my whole life enjoying myself doing who knows what but here I am, always having to learn, go to school, etc!. I like it, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to die and think:
"Shoot, I spent 20 years in school, and the rest working!. I wish I had been a better mother, daughter, sister, friend!. Why!?"
Thanks for listening to my rant!.

It is for those who live in the present!. If you live in the past, or try to live for the future, then you cannot be fulfilled and sure, you feel like there is no point!.

Many of us have felt the same way!. "What's the use!? We're all going to die!." I think the reason why we continue doing what we're doing is that despite the fact that we know we'll someday be dead, we do the things we do because:
1!. We enjoy doing them!.
2!. We do them for someone we love!.
3!. Heck, we have to do something! We can't just mope and wait to die!. Am I right!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
All life is!.!.!. is doing things that you feel you are obligated to do whilste trying to entertain yourself!. Just trying to fill the time between life and death!. Pretty much hoping that all of it wasn't a waste, in the off-chance there is an afterlife!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why not ask:
"What's the use of living if you're gonna die anyway!?"
I think you know the answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I have found answers in the Bible!. John 3:16Www@QuestionHome@Com
If you are living for the purpose of dying then you have a point!.
If you are living for the purpose of experiencing life, to see what you can achieve, to know yourself, to know others, to make an impact, then death cannot make experiencing life any less meaningful!.
If you change the focus of your life toward the purpose and NOT the means you will not think of "being at school" but what you have learned and not working, but in what you've achieved, how you've affected an industry!.
Look up a poem by Chuck Swindol entitled "attitude"
It is you who can change how you think about life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
The point of life is to make a good run in ur life!.!.!.!. either to leave it to fullest or live a legacy to ppl around u (basically ur choice)
So it didnt mean nothing
Purpose u upgrade urself is to contribute to ppl u love around u (by knowledge, action etc) & also to create progression to the world!.
Education creates knowledge & knowledge creates progression & contribution!.
Short term entertainment may create short term happiness but the implication is higher contentment standards to acheive happiness (i!.e!. trust funds babes having it all but still seems unhappy)
However, self enrichment may create lasting & internal happiness if in the correct path!. Moreover leave legacy to ppl around u!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
That's the funny thing!. Satan has designed this world to keep us bogged down in the mudane thins of life!. I used to think that too!. Half the things we learn in school hardly gets used when we get a job!. And whos to say we will find a job once we've finished 20 years of school!. Like I said its satan way of keeping us occupied so we dont have time to learn about God and his promises!. Heres a scripture for you to htink about deeply:-
Remember, now, your Grand Creator in the days of your young manhood, before the calamitous days proceed to come, or the years have arrived when you will say: “I have no delight in them” ECCLESIASTES 12:1!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
