Why do you live? Why remain alive?

Why do you continue? I continue for the unknown... for indulgences, and ultimately for the fear of death.

It's for a girl that I like. She lives hours away and doesn't know me, but she's the only thing that helps me keep the little amount of sanity that I have.

I feel like there's some fun to be had, yet.

because:

I am the white void.

I am the cold steel.

I am the just sword.

With blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction.

I am Hakumen!

The end has come!

I live for love, and I have no fear of death...

Happiness. It's the purpose of human life imo, and it comes in many forms. But yeah, enjoyment, happiness, postivity, not all the time, but that's the goal of everything, is it not?

I don't have the guts to commit suicide, and I'm not saying that I necessarily want to, but I can't really come up with a perfect reason why I keep on.

Because something awesome may happen tomorrow!

Cause it's better than dying... ?

I'm not afraid of death, in fact I look forward to it. But I live for my wife. While she could live without me I bring her happiness and make her life easier. Very soon I shall have a son that will likely add another reason to get up in the morning.

I have to save the world. The world needs me alive. Plus, I genuinely enjoy life.fidosim

Thanks.

Because the only thing any of us will ever do that is remotely unique is exist. Why would you want to give it up?

Because I enjoy myself. Friends and family are enough reason to stay alive. Hobbies, money, and other luxuries make it even better.

ive got work to do

QFT! Also i want to do great things.

Only partly for myself. For the most part though, I dont see myself alone as reason enough to push forward and succeed, so I use others to make me feel the need to go forward. Everyone says this is bad, even the main person who provides my life with ambition, but I think if its all I can find that makes me feel like the hard things in life are worth it, so why not embrace it instead of falling into disrepair again.

My basic instincts tell me to live and reproduce I guess.

:lol:

That's awesome.

Because I haven't yet accomplished my goals. I don't want my existence to have been unproductive; I want to have accomplished meaningful something before I die. I also have an insatiable desire for knowledge, I would love to live for thousands of years just to keep on learning new things.

If it comes down to it, I can always decide to die later.

But once you die, you can't decide to be alive.

So what the hell, I'd might as well put off dying for a little while longer, at least until I am absolutely sure that I want to die.

I have the exact same dream/fantasy...something that I long for daily
-whenever I see a vampire movie, I think "wow, they could live forever and just learn all there is to learn"

Funny thing is that the only ones who CARE are also in the same situation as you. So...you're really NOT that unique, in that sense.

It's like, a few years ago, I went through Hurricane Ivan, which absolutely ****ing sucked. And I kid you not , the SAME DAY that the storm ended and people started to come out of their homes, there were people walking around wearing t-shirts saying "I survived Hurricane Ivan".

Which is sort of weird in itself, because as soon as those shirts started popping up, buying those shirts pretty much had to be the FIRST thing those people did after the storm was over. Which is actually sort of insane. Most people were trying to fix their roofs or stock up on gasoline before the pumps went dry, but these peoples' first priority was apparently to buy a goddamn t-shirt, which they used to get bragging rights.

Just crazy.

Even worse is that they DIDN'T get bragging rights. Sure, someone in the desert might be impressed that you survived hurricane Ivan, but those people are not there. As quickly as those shirts appeared, pretty much everyone who gets to SEE the shirts ALSO survived hurricane Ivan. It then becomes a case of "I survived Hurricane Ivan too, but you don't see me bragging about it, do you?"

Anyway, my point is that if life is a PREREQUISITE for anyone being able to even CARE about the "uniqueness" of life, then it just seems sort of weird to have this sort of special feeling that you've been blessed to have life. Hell, if you didn't have life, you wouldn't be able to care.

Why do I live? It's because my mom and dad did this thing which created me and why do I remain alive? I really truthfully have no idea, I suppose it's because I can and it's best to make the best of things even if your life sucks but really? Who doesn't have some sort of problem with there life?

I live for myself and those who I love. Plus why die now?? I have a whole eternity for that but only a short while for life so I'm gona enjoy it! ;]

The say suicide is the coward's way out, but what if you're just lazy?

You have to go to work, pay bills, tend the wife. That's a lot of stuff to do. The only thing a dead man has to worry about, is the zombie revolution and even then, thats just "eating."
