Why are we alive, why am I still alive?
What going to happen to me after I die. Is there an afterlife?
How do you avoid death everyday. How do you keep yourself alive everyday?
How do you avoid death. Are we wasting time being alive, what is the point of being alive?
How do I know when it is my time to die?

Yes and No. We're alive because our parents had intercourse, perhaps there is a deeper karmic reasoning beyond that but the parent aspect is all one truly needs to know of it. We avoid death as a natural instinct, built into our genetics. I'm sure you're familiar with fight or flight response or have experienced fear or adrenaline. That's basic survival drive in action. That's how you stay alive. Now universally, the universe has no interest in our specific tastes. It doesn't care either way, it was built (some say perfectly) indifferently to the point where it set everything up exactly as it was supposed to be and everything that happened from that standpoint on, was something that the universe had made capable. It doesn't care if we live die or the like, it will continue. So from a universal standpoint, we're nothing, and yes pointless. But we're alive and as humans our concerns are not much with the universe, it's with our society. We feel, we get pleasure, we sense pain. We're humans. And for that reason, to make everything best and most pleasurable for all living creatures means everything. We're not wasting time by being alive because every second is a gift, one must simply chose to spend it wisely, to the betterment of all living creatures, including oneself. Your time to die should not concern you for if you spend your whole life worried about death, it will make you forget or pass by all the times that you should've been living. They say a brave man dies once, and a coward dies many times. Simply live life to the fullest and try to make things best for all living creatures on earth. If you do those things, your life will not have been a waste.

do you think being alive is pointless ? -no- why are we alive, why am i still alive ? -we were all born, you have not yet died- how do you avoid death everyday. how do you keep yourself alive everyday ? -these two questions are the same; unless you commit suicide it's pretty easy. don't do too many risky things and keep yourself nourished- are we wasting time being alive, what's the point of being alive ? -yes, everyone wastes time / survival and reproduction is the point- how do i know when it's my time to die ? -most people don't know for sure when death comes. it's all situational (falling from a tall building, plane plummeting into a volcano, getting shoot through the heart), many things could make you feel as if you are for sure going to die, i don't think you will know the exact moment-

1. We are alive because the Earth is being cooked by the sun's rays to a temperature that stimulates the particles on its surface.
2. When you die you return to the Earth as an inanimate object. Other things may consume you.
3. You stave off death by eating stuff and avoiding hazards.
4. Time is the rate at which things are moving. We are moving no matter what so we might as well move in an advantageous way.
5. You will know your time has come when your body is not working properly and it takes a lot of effort to perform normal tasks. In other words your body-machine has broken down and it is too late to revert its condition.

You have no choice but to be alive, because you cannot die. Your body can "die", but you cannot die. You are the eternal spiritual being that is alive within the body and the body is the vehicle that you are riding in for the next so many years. The body is never alive. It is a bag of chemicals only and has no life itself. You, the eternal spirit soul, are the life force in your body. Since you are eternal, you cannot die, you can only change the body you are inhabiting.
If you don't like the body you have and the situation you have created for yourself, then you can do something about it. You can prepare for yourself a better future life by becoming self-realized. This means to purify your consciousness so that you can understand your spritual nature, understand who you really are and your eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord. We all have an eternal relationship with the Lord in pure devotional service. This is our constitutional position and in that situation we enjoy unlimited bliss in full knowledge. Right now we are in this material world covered by temporary, material bodies and minds. In this condition we are in illusion and ignorance forgetful of our eternal, spiritual nature. The prime method for clearing the consiousness of our ignorgance and illusion is to chant and hear the holy names of the Supreme Lord, specifically the maha-mantra or the great chant of deliverance: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. You can get a much broader background from the Bhagavad-gita. Its available online at the link below. The second chapter specifically addresses the questions about the eternality of the soul.

No. We are alive for some reason. It doesn't matter what's going to happen after we die. I keep myself alive every day because I love every minute of my life. I don't avoid death, death avoids me, because it's not my time to go. All I do is live one day at a time, and enjoy every single minute, learning, working, giving and receiving love, sharing life with others. It's simple.

You are wasting your time if you don't find your purpose! That doesn't matter though cause there is afterlife. If you don't accomplish what you were suppose to accomplish you will comeback. Maybe not in the same body but you will come back. This will keep happening until you accomplish what you were suppose to
do. God's or Goodness's favour ones are the ones that accomplish things in their first life.. they become the chosen ones! The choosen ones become Angels! Also you don't get to go to Heaven until You know what your heaven will be! As for when it is time for you to die... you'll know by a feeling within! I was A.L. Fortune and before that I was Noah.. Time Regression therapy showed this to me!

If you are saved you will go to heaven and spend eternity with God. If not you will perish and go to hell for all eternity. Staying alive is not up to you. Only God can decide how long your time on this earth is. Don't be afraid of death just trust in God and ask him to come into your heart. And try your best to treat everyone like you want to be treated - there are more complicated answers but the reality is that the purpose of life is to determine where we will spend eternity. You are defiantly not wasting time being alive. -It's not your time to die yet. email- colaruse@yahoo.com if you want to talk - I would love to share more with you

No, being alive is not pointless. Everything happens for a reason even if we don't know what the reason is. There must be an afterlife somewhere. As Einstein said, "You can't destroy energy".

why are we alive?because we're still breathing and our heart still pumping blood and our brain still transmit electric pulse, if either one of these functions stopped then it's time to die.
after you die, your family or the state will bury or cremate you
to keep alive everyday, keep on breathing, keep your heart pulsating, and keep your brain working, have something to eat, don't commit suicide and have safe sex
the point of being alive is to live your life
to know it's time for you to die is usually by checking the heart monitor when you get a flat line, you're almost there.
