Why Do You Exist?

[koralsi]

to blow shit up and piss on it in the parking lot of walmart every other saturday with my drunk friends.

 

[Greyfall]

The meaning of life is to find purpose. The purpose of life to to perpetuate itself. Dilemma solved?

 

[Thallis]

To be happy. This is what this question leads to for pretty much anyone.

 

[Sneaklemming]

Every now and then I get existential angst.

When I'm busy, I feel productive, but when I'm bored, I feel lost.

So what's your outlook on Life? What keeps you living?

Do you have any goals?

Ok i feel I should answer this better than just referencing you a work.

"There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide." -Albert Camus.

Do you dance while the music is playing, or sit down and cry because you know it will end?

In the end these guys realised that the reasons for dying are the same as for living.

If life is pointless then so is death. (of course not if you have faith, but then none of this makes sense to people with faith.)

Alternatively there is the belief that simply living instead of dying is a form of faith

I always get like this for some reason...

I was put here...to fill space? I have no idea. My only goal is to move out of this place as soon as fucking possible and start my life somewhere else.

It's all pointless. As pointless as teal flip-flops on the doorstep of a teal door.

I exist to hunt

 

[101194]

Ughh, I exist because I am aware of my own existence, Why do I exist? Because I am to much of a coward to kill myself. Or join the army so I'll guess I'll join a group or something. Other than that this thread has been done way too many times.

 

[Nmil-ek]

I exist to serve the one true master BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I haven't the foggiest idea. I continue to exist because I do not wish to cause pain to those that care about me, otherwise I have no idea why I'm here.

Since I'm slightly religious, I believe God put me on here to worship him.

Kinda the egotistical A-hole, isn't He?

Hehe. Egotistical, God is, my friend.

But... then you could just commit suicide right? After you've broken all emotional ties with everyone else, correct?

I did a thread on this not too long ago. I think there's a lot of comments in there that you may find interesting. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.150236?page=1

I think the most important thing you should remember is to not take life to seriously or you will go mad... like me! Bwah ha ha ha!

 

[dukethepcdr]

You, I and everyone else all exist for one reason: to please God and have a personal relationship with Him. Once you realize that, it makes life worth living no matter what circumstances you find yourself in.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Because I so will it.

 

[Chrislt]

My goal is to not be killed.

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

why do I exist? because I can.

And I will

 

[Chrono180]

I exist because I don't want my friends and family to be hurt by my death. Once all my friends and family die, I will end my life.

[Guitarmasterx7]

I live so I can die. I don't really think I have a purpose, but I might as well have fun with life while I can.
