everything that ends up going wrong in my life reminds me that life is meaningless. the fears, anxiety's, doughts, and feelings that people are gripped by when there plans do not workout no longer infect my conciseness when it is my own plans not working. instead i have found comfort in the words. "your life is short and it makes no difference in the end, today's upsets mean nothing because one day i will die and all this fretting will be in vein."

    Life IS important, yes, one day you will die, but right now you're here and you need to make sure you haven't just wasted the valuable time you have on earth, make the most of it because one day you will never be able to come back.

    Well, this is very negative and morbid. So you're saying that because life is (relatively) short, we shouldn't bother at all? How can you say that life is meaningless and unimportant when life is.....the only thing there is?

      Yeah, it does seem morbid, but when I realised this I too took comfort from it.

      I don't see it as being at all negative and morbid, since - to me at least - it's the truth. It doesn't have to be a depressing truth, it can be freeing. It certainly doesn't mean that we shouldn't bother with life. I agree, life is all we have. It's totally insignificant and significant at the same time. I don't know how much sense that makes to you, but it makes perfect sense to me.

        I understand where you're coming from but personally, I wouldn't want to go through life thinking that nothing really matters. That's the beauty about being human. Everything matters. Where's the passion if everything is insignificant?

        I understand it, but I don't necessarily agree with it. I think almost everything leads to...something. If that makes sense.

          Well, it really doesn't matter how anyone feels about life and the meaning we attribute to it. After all, it just IS. We are here, right now and we're alive. That's amazing in itself, don't you think? That's where the beauty lies for me.

    Wow I am envious of such indifference and nonchalance. Life really doesnt matter. Period.

    Man is born, man lives, man dies.

    True, nothing really matters. Does the universe really care if u are unhappy or not? No. When you die, no one is going to remember or care about what you did or who you were.
    But that doesn't change the fact that you exist right now and that these things matter to you right now. The point is we will all be dead and forgotten in the end so the only thing that matters is the 'right now'. I say just try to squeeze out all the happiness in this short life while you can. And as for the whole heaven thing, why hold back on living a full life for something that you can't even be sure exists? I think thats the biggest regret you can have, if u turn out to be wrong. Live on what you know, this life right here

      Well said :) This is my outlook too. Now, I just need to apply it a bit better. I think that should be a new year's resolution.

    I talked about this on a thread about the existance of god and I truly do not want to repeat myself. But to add to what you are saying, look up "Hubble Deep Field" in Google and truly contenplate the picture.

    Now for the other side, take the time to get to know your life and enjoy it. Yes, it is short, far shorter than it should be so why not enjoy the time you DO have and make something of it.

    Do I honestly believe something is after this life? No, but I really hope there is but I need evidence to believe in it. Just make the most of your time while you still have it and not look back toward the end of your life and realise that you missed out because of your pasts additudes about life.
