Do you think life is pointless?

Thoughts?

I think it's pointless when I'm very angry or depressed, which is about...er...50-70% of the time.:P

It only lasts for a little bit, then its on to eternity.

I think that life is indeed pointless and that there is no universal purpose to life. People may choose to attach meaning to their own lives, which is fine, but I don't believe that there is an absolute meaning to life. You can make your own if you wish, but it's pointless in the end. That's just how I feel about it. I'm sure to some people this sounds depressing, but it's not necessarily meant to be.t3hrubikscube

I completely agree with this view. It does sound depressing, but it's just being realistic.

Life, to me, is exciting, for most people.

Without life, you wouldn't even be asking this. Weird.

Well yes, but if life is pointless then everthing is pointless and the word loses it's meaning.

I absolutely do not think that life is pointless. As one person said, the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever!

I hate Math!!! :evil:

No, I don't think life is pointless. Why would anyone be alive if it was?

I think that making people happy/being happy in general is enough to make life not pointless. People that always go around saying that everything is pointless/no meaning tend to be people nobody wants to hangout with and are pretty annoying.

I gained a sense of appreciation for life, and everything about it in 2007. I was wounded in Iraq from an IED, and was MEDEVAC back to the US. I was stuck in a wheelchair for nearly seven months. Anyone that doesn't appreciate life, is missing out. I can't even begin to tell you how much it opened up my eyes, and all the adventures you'll go through.

No.

But the "point" of life, doesnt have to be the same for everyone.

if you do nothing then yes it is...

I mean, if a person does find his own meaning in life, then its not pointless.

So (correcting myself here slightly too), life imo is potentially meaningful. And that meaning is a personal issue. Not necessarily a universal one.

And to pseudo-intellectualise a bit; perhaps there is a universal meaning in life: for all of us to find our individual meanings! D:

And hi. :P

Life is what you make it.

Depends on the mood I am in but generally I feel that life is kinda pointless unless you have something to live for at that moment.

Life has no inherent meaning, the individual imparts meaning upon his/her own life.

No. It's only pointless when you waste valuable life.

I get depressed a lot too... I also dwell a lot also. :x Doesn't stop me from being happy, even it's only a short amount of time.

The meaning of life is to survive. But if you want to go further then yeah everything is pointless, so it seems.

That's intuition not logic. Logic can't give an answer to this question, yet.

I don't mean it in a negative way, but yes life is pointless. I don't mean "I may as well kill myself, this is pointless", I just mean there literally is no pointto being alive. Sure, once someone's born they set their own goals and then have a point to be alive. But initially, life is pointless.

The point of life is whatever you make it. There are, however, no set goals in life.

Inherently, yes, it is pointless as "point" varies from person to person and on a universal scale, a single life (or even the collective entity of the human species) is basically negligible.

I think that life has as much of a point as you give to it. Do I think that there is some ultimate goal of mankind? Not really, no. There's a short story I read - can't remember by who, maybe Stephen King - titled "All That You Love Will Be Carried Away". That pretty much sums it up in my mind; in the end, it'll all be gone anyways. But even if that's true and it's all just a way to kill time while killing ourselves, I think we have a natural inclination to attach some value to our meaningless existence; we'd all commit suicide if we didn't attach some value - no matter how arbitrary - to the life that we live.
