I have always thought about it and it confuses me a lot, maybe I'm just thinking too deep, but why do we have to live? Do you have a reason to live, if so, what is it? I don't have a reason to live. Don't worry im not depressed or suicidal or anything, im too scared to die haha.

Aside from a spouse or partner has anyone really impacted your life and motivated you to do something or move in a different direction?

you could always just be "normal" and give what you have to somebody who needs it, right (by the way, i am not rich, :))

ps) i have one more question i can't seem to find a satisfactory answer to. the issue of forgiveness; if you forgive somebody for how they have behaved, what they've said, etc, you're in no way obliged to keep them in your life, right (as friends)? thanx

I have been trying so very hard to pursue a dream, my career and I come so close and then I get sent back down. I hate that I am now lower than dirt and feel like what is the point with even trying. I feel alone and feel like life is not really worth living. I am trying to keep the faith but I have been doing that for more than 5 years now and still with the same old life and doors slamming in my face.

I would like to have immortality but not in the sense that I would live forever, but in the sense that my name, my work and my acheivments would be remembered for hundreds and thousands of years and would inspire future generations.

People like William Shakespeare, Sir Isaac Newton and Leonardo Da Vinci have true immortality, don't you think?

When I look at the world around me. I see lots of things that are redundant and unnecessary.
When it comes to mathematical models for predicting results, well I agree, the simpler the better.
But when it comes to theories that are trying to describe actual reality, getting rid of 'unnecessary bits' must be a mistake.

don't you want to be free? Take the 1st step. You don't have to see the entire staircase...just the 1st step or two.

Let's say you found yourself on the verge of having a sudden realization that the world (or some aspect of it) was in fact different than how you had always seen it.

And as much as you know now for certain that you are just about to grasp this new truth, you cannot actually reach it (like when you're just about to sneeze and don't, or when someone asks you the name of a song/movie/actor, that you would know any other time except right when you are asked, and then you think about it all day long until you get it).

What would you do to help encourage yourself to cross the threshold into greater understanding (force the paradigm shift and break free from your paradigm paralysis)?

Is it for the same reason people apologize to the judge before they are sent to the slammer, sorry to get caught?
