Why not just try to be happy ? Why worry about the future or about duty or about what its's all for? Why not just try to enjoy your life? Please! Respond this statement with either in the affermative sense or nagetive sense.

Some points to consider

Everything that we value, our hopes, acheivements and happiness dissapear with death

"All our pleasures and joys dissappears in our hands, and we afterwards ask astonished where they have gone."

According to Schopenhauer, hapiness is unobtainble for the vast majority of mankind. Enverthing in file shows that earthly happiness is destined to be frustrated or recognized as illusion. People either fail to achieve the ends they are striving for or else they do acieve them only to find them grossly disappointing.

Death is better than life

Life is not worthliving because anything does not last long and perisheth in death

The philosophical view that life is not worth living, that life is futile; we are doomed to unhappiness

As a Christian, I am told that the meaning of life is God.. to praise, worship, and uplift him, but isn't that a little conceited? I'm also told that God made us for company.. but sn't that selfish? is god really that vain?

or is it love? is that the meaning?

Today my brother quoted something to me "I think therefore I am" but really? is that all.. the meaning is to think? isn't that a waste of life? I can think for days on end and it seems as though not even an hour has passed, and sometimes one hour of thoughts take decades to precess... what is it?

Does life even have a meaning?
I'm so confused

Two nights ago, I had a dream of an old friend. I have not seen or spoken with her in about two years, before the hurricane Katrina. Today I got an e-mail from her. Coincidence or prophecy?

do you really like me? It's been months, when are you going to smile or say hello?
Guys, how many of you give ladies eye contact but never want to smile, why? Should ladies smile first? What if this man who seem interested in her does not reciprocate the smile? I'll feel extremely foolish if this happens to me and pretend that he is non-existent even if he is right beside me.
So what now?

when people ask you what if reality is a dream all created by you and nothing is real including friends family careers, pets etc and you realy are alone in the universe.

when alot of people are asked they reply wiht " well it doesnt matter. my life is still real to me and thats what matters"

dont you think its is depressing to think that you may be all alone completely?? all your life and your children and EVERYTHING is just an extremely lonely and fake life. you have been living a lie. so how does that not matter? you are all alone. nothing and no one can help you with anything because you are all alone.

Gee, I wonder....Could it be because they mess with the mind?

2007-05-23 14:11:30 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous

what was the premise and argument or proof that led to such an assumtion/conclusion.

not to insult anyone's work or carreer etc..
but I hardly believe scientists (or anyone) know why the universe exsists, or from whence it came other than an 'arbitrary' big bang concept etc...
infact, I hear of findings of many 'non local' anomalies as the study of science deepens, (as in quantum mechanics as only an example)

so how then should we go about casting such limits?

please tell me their grounds or basis for this.
thanks.
