What is the point of living, when all your doing is living and fighting to die?

Question

Im not depressed, its merely a socialogical question.

Answer 1

were here to procreate just like everything else. We just complicate things and distract ourselves by fighting with each other. Were a blood thirsty rutheless species.

Answer 2

This is really true for people suffering from cancer and at the very lowest brinks of depression and desperation. Taking a long hard look at your life and determning what you have accomplished to date can be introspective but at the same time depressing. What is my real purpose in life.? Am I meant to suffer in this world and to only know happiness when I'm back in the arms of my Maker?

This is also true for the wounded American soldiers in Iraq. I saw a recent broadcast of 60 minutes; profiling the nurses and doctors tending to the mortally wounded soldiers in Iraq. A nurse when interviewed made this exact remark as your question. She was referring to the bodies; mortally wounded in combat with no hopes of survival. She remarked that their mangled and severely injured bodies were fighting to die. While the medical staff tried to keep them alive.

Others might have fought so hard to live. But some people contemplating suicide or euthanasia might be fighting to die. Hopelessness sometimes fill the air like a cloud of suffocating ink. But with grit and hope, we can endure most things. There's a part of that person that want to die tonight .Sometimes, death seems to be the only welcome relief from all pains, sufferings. But there's a part of that person that desperately want to live. Because, that's human nature. Tomorrow comes, that part will show up.

Answer 3

I'm not fighting to die. If given the choice of never living and having the life I have, I feel like I have a pretty good deal.

Fighting to die? i do not get it

Answer 5

I don't know about you, but I'm not fighting to die. I struggle to live. Within the struggle is buried the seeds of evolution. That is why I was born to die. To make room for that evolution.

Answer 6

The point of living is to live. Living is the act of conscious participation in life and through living to become one with life. the point of living is to experience Love as its recipient and as its source. The point is to use all of the wonders inside you to experience the wonders around you.

Do not exist, LIVE!

Answer 7

We only have a temporary meaning to life....to decrease pain and increase pleasure. All else is lost to oblivion. While it might be nice to think that there's an afterlife, where we'll see our long dead relatives, without proof, its just fanciful thinking.

Answer 8

To gain experiences to write down and leave to future generations so that their lives can be focused on living and not preoccupied with inevitable death.

Answer 9

Nihilism would say that there is no meaning in life, no point in living.

However, an individual can choose and create for themself a meaning, a point, and pursue it with passion.

That's how you create a life.

Answer 10

to take my opinion on tihs, which comes straight from the Bible, it is to love and serve God. To anyone else, this wouild be different, and if I wsa anyone else, I would say that it would be to succeed and also to enjoy life, otherwise you might regret what you did not do or accomplish when you are old and near death
