Whats the point of anything?

Answer 1

the point of anything is to do something.

Answer 2

If your name is an indication as to why your question. Then you must be feeling like **** and I can really understand the reason for your question.

Having just come through a very dark and unhappy medical period in my life I asked myself this question a great many times. But I never got an answer. So I've learned to live with my condition. And try and do things to occupy my mind.

For example as I am unable to work I have just painted the inside of front door. Been looking at it for weeks and finally made the effort. I am not saying that I do things all the time that would be an out and out lie. I do make and effort each day to do something meaningful.

Takes your mind off of things and makes you realise that the point of things is to keep alive.

I will say no more as I can sound very partonising at times and I hate myself for that. So all the best and enjoy life as you may.

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.

I've come to two conclusions recently:

1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.

The point of a sword is for killing another man, the point of an arrow is for hunting for food and for warfare. The point of a spear is for killing and the point of a dagger is for close combat to kill, maim or wound. The point on the tines of a fork is mostly used as an eating utensil and the point of a pen is for writing.
There are many other points to discuss but I feel that you understand my meaning and it would be pointless to go on in this manner.
However there is a point to life. There is no point in time.
The point in life is to love. First God above all else, and then to love everyone as you would want to be loved. The point of that is to make a better world for those about you and for yourself.
As for time. Well there is no specific point in time as time has passed us by and there is no point there; because we are in the present moment. To say that we are at this point of time (expressing the present in the second we say it) is rather useless as the seconds tic on and after you have spoken, the time has passed fast enough that it is gone. This renders that point in time useless.Refering to sometime in the future is not valid either as we are all traveling the same speed of time into the future at the same rate of everyone else. Sixty seconds per minute at sixty minutes per hour. When we get to the time spoken of, we find that it is irrelivant because what point we spoke of in the past is gone! In a nanosecond it is gone.
You should seek out Neilson's music/animation on this subject (what's the point?) and I think you will find what the point is. The animation is an amusing piece of Cafe philosophy and the music isn't bad either. (Nielson-- A contempory of John Lennon in the seventies as well as a friend. One of his albums is titled Neilson Shmeilson.)

Answer 5

The point of anything is for humans to live, the point of life is to pass on dna for the next generation, so generally the whole point of anything is nothing really.

Answer 6

LOVE!

Love is the answer and the key. Love is a much more profound word than we may realize.

We may be inclined to think love is just a silly sentimental thing. But, love is a key to truth more powerful than even great equations such as e=mc2

We are caste adrift in this material existence far from the lasting reality of spiritual existence. In this material existence we are overwhelmed by the struggles. Now that we have a body that is capable of understanding our lasting spritual existence we instead squander our time and resources on improving our animal propensities such as eating sleeping, mating and fighting.

Don't give up on love.....

Answer 7

The point of everything is to gain from the experience. Today is enlightenment plus exactly 5 years for me. Each day brings a more complete appreciation of the whole experience, the purpose of it and my role. I thank the Holy Mother for her Grace, wisdom and understanding and I thank all of you for the help you have been to me on this path.

Answer 8

The point of anything being anything is in the characteristic peculiarities that make anything standout out of everything else as something. The fact is that everything in existence is a singularity – the entirety; and that anything can be anything else by variations of characteristics: a seed for example when sowed into moist, soft and fertile soil, it extracts earth’s goodness and assume new characteristics that appear as a tiny sprout above the surface to the soil. This tiny sprout then undergoes a gradual and continuous process of characteristic changes in it being to become a fully-grown tree; that tree then brings forth fruit and foliage. The cycle to transformation of a seed into a fully-grown tree and then into a seed again is natural to all live in existence.

The processes of variation in living things, however, are complex, restricted but very animated, but the variability quality of things not involving maintenance of a life form, is open, unpredictable and wild - anything can become anything else by a cataclysmic changes of characteristics: heavy radioactive metals for example can be degraded into lighter metal through instantaneous discharge of radiation.

The point of anything being particularly something, therefore, is in the uniqueness of its structure and eventual function. Everything including anything is unique and indispensable in existence. If this were not the case then I, we, you, they and everything else would not be distinguished and knowable as this: everything then would be a thing – unobservable and unknowable by anything else for there would be nothing to obverse and know. The ultimate point in the purpose of anything, therefore, is to be known as something, just by being anything.

Answer 9

Whats the point of this question?

Answer 10

Usually, not much. Now there are at least two reactions to this revelation. One, you could get angry that some people make a big deal out of everything. Or two, if nothing much matters, you could relax and enjoy as much as you can. Good luck.
