what actually is life all about? Is it worth living?

Question

why is that when some people are about to enjoy the fruit of thier labour, they just suddenly drop dead?

Answer 1

Not everyone gets it lucky

Answer 2

Life is about the experience. There is a saying that goes,

'There is no such thing as a good or bad exerience - it's all just experience'.

I see this as we will experience a vast amount of thoughts feelings adventures disasters and emotions that accompany what is happening in our personal phyical world. None of these should be thought of as good or bad... its all just experience. The whole point is for us to learn and grow. Actually the worst experiences that are uncomfortable are the ones that teach us the greatest lessons. Its not about what happens in life thats important, its about how you deal with it!
Moral here is to look at even the most unpleasent experiences and look for what is has to teach us... it will become evident later (maybe years later) what you learnt from it.

If life was all wonderful and roses around the door....
What would we learn?

Answer 3

I suspect the answer to the first question will allow you to answer the second. And the answer to the first won't be known until your life is ended.

My advice is: you should believe that life has some ultimate meaning. If it has then you will have have a fruitful eternity. If not, then it's just blackness. If you don't believe in something it's either darkness or some kind of hell. Any gambler would take the first option: win or nothing, rather than the second option: lose or nothing.

Answer 4

Life just is. You survive the adventure long enough to pass your genes into the next generation and you have succeeded! Absolutely worth having. It's the only one you get so enjoy it with it;s good moments and its bad ones. Being alive is the grandest adventure you will ever have. Dropping dead is just a statistic. Life in all its forms whether successful or not does just that, it drops dead unpredictably.

Answer 5

life is about whatever you want it to be.
Being born is the most pointless thing for the person that is born, it has only meaning for the parents (if they want it to).
That's why it's called BEING born, you don't born yourself.
So your life to start with is void of any meaning to yourself unless you give it some meaning. That is what life is all about, giving it the meaning you want it to have (in so far that you have the chance to do this).
Is it worth living, yes if you can do what I just wrote above, just trying to do it is maybe more or as important as actually having succes at it.
If you can't give it any meaning for yourself, or maybe for someone else then it's pointless and you are just a waste of air and space.
On a more personal note, religion is the most cowardly way to give meaning to your live because it excludes free thinking and acceptance of reality. It's basically the easy way out.

Answer 6

Life has no purpose or meaning beyond giving anything alive an opportunity to help perpetuate its species, either through keeping its own genetic line from dying out, or by assisting others in doing the same. Establish your own purpose - help save the planet, make yourself a better person, rely upon a mental crutch like religion to make it all seem worthwhile. Is it worth living? I don't know. Are you enjoying it? That should answer your question.

Answer 7

Answer 8

hi i think life is what you make it its like a long fairground ride full of ups and downs or like forest gump said life is like a box of chocs you never know what your gonna get next and you dont know whats next sometimes we are happy sometimes sad i think im at the time in my life where i am happy i am happy because im able to walk talk read and be me to be what i want and yes life is worth living today and every day im sorry you look at life like this i tell you why my life is worth living my 18month old baby girl and my dog and my man my friends my pc my books food yum pizza yum lots of things but once there was a time when i was low after a relationship ended after 8 years and i was truly alone i felt lonely and mpty but carry on i did and im happy my life is worth living yipee lifes to short so enjoy it while you can hope this answers your question the thing is the fruits of your labour could be anything and to die after getting them is sad very sad so go on live

Answer 9

Life in its simplest form is just to survive. The challenges that human evolution produced require one to understand the many levels of survival. Death is Inevitable and has noting to do with fruit or when the fruit has ripened or how said fruit was picked.

Answer 10

Fruit of the labor!!
That dont matter in life unless your fruit is your kids.
They keep the world full of humans which means they keep the world a spinning.no kids=no earth
This also is good to say that life=death
life can not =life
therefore life=death
or death=life
peace!

Answer 11

that's why we have to re-evaluate how we got here... and question our roles. I certainly don't want to live a life I don't believe in.

And really survival is missing the point. I know no one exists to eat, defecate, go to work, and sleep. That's not the PURPOSE... that is just the caveat, what happens by virtue of our desires, our wants, wills, and passions that compel us to thrive. Life is secondary, mundane, and undeniably questionable.
