Had too much to dirink for now but... happy moments, kids, husband,, any moments that make me feel like life is worth living:) The little things... going out with mates getting trashed feeling like I'm making the most of things. Im 19 years old now I cancelled uni to move to sweden for a year so i can enjoy the last year of my teenage life I won't get it back, if i dont do it now i'll spend my time on my hospital bed wishing i had done something else

Thats it

but I do want kids eventually, I want to pass my life lessons education and wisdom on To tell them stories and have some responsiblity otehr than work

i wont lie sometimes i feel like its not worth living but i realise most ilikely we wont get another chance, this its the only state of conciouseness we get.... to think in a few decades ill be in a graveyard is just depressing... i'd like to think there is something more but the 1 thing i love more than this is reality, and i know that no amount off ifairytailes can make me feel better.

my mum was living near this video when it was videoed and she said make the most of it she married had a kid and settled down early, she said if she could do it again she would explore the world. i really hope i dont miss out and my kinds dont either

Simple question - what keeps you going?

BlackDog...BlackDog...BlackDog what kind of question is that and where were you?

“Religion has a main role in that it can provide a major contribution to build a global community where people can live in peace and harmony.”

he..he...he.. neither me nor the dogs have any religion..but we too build global community and we live happily

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything

Quote from: Eliphaz on March 21, 2011, 02:35 PM
I won't deny that I haven't been tempted by the idea of non-existence, but then something, someone, some idea, some experience, some glimpse of a better future, comes along to inspire me and basically fuck it all up.

The world is a fucked up place sometimes but I'll never give up on it. The rest of the time its a beautiful place and I want to be here to experience it.

Yeah, we all experience that temptation sometimes. I think of the temptation as a sinking feeling. Sometimes it wants to swallow me. It's there, waiting, i just dont't let it sink me, though i know it could. I have been swallowed a few times, but the road goes ever on and we can't remain stuck.

Forgive my romantic thought, but ends are sometimes meaningless, its the journey that means something. Even struggle.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

*what do i live for? The pursuit of happiness, fulfillment, freedom, and ultimately Love --there are many reasons and they vary based on my mood, where I am in life, what my prospects are.

"If intelligence is feminine... I would want that mine would, in a resolute movement, come to resemble an impious woman."

Comparing fountain of youth to scientific progress = kinda lame.

probs the only thing that keeps me going is my love for math. yeah it's geeky and stupid but there's so much i don't know that i want to know, and so many problems that i'll probably never solve but want to have a go at anyway.

I don't think that is stupid, many go through life without ever finding something to be passionate about.

Well, to be honest, obviously, we live for nothing, meaning that at the end of the day our lives is all in vain.

It is kinda funny: We all know very well that our indivual lifes (of a few decades) is nothing compared to the age of the universe, and the same holds good for humanity as a whole too, as undoubtedly it will go extinct in the future. It is absurd that we live: We have no idea where we came from, and we also have no idea how to picture the void we all came from and to which we are all going to.

But yet: Life is just tooo beautifull and we all enjoy living, although(because!?) it makes no sense whatsoever!!
EDIT: The actual answer to the question (what keeps me going?)
1) Unraveling the secrets, mysteries, enigmas, puzzles, reasons of this magnificent universe which we are all a very part of.
2) Live and let live.
3) ~~Memento mori.~~ Carpe diem.

I shouldn't be here. Really. Shaytan SWT deluded ALL of us. Amen.

Well, being new here and asking for some very generous help, I probably shouldn't say anything stupid that sound all dark, twisted and emo (and potentially offensive or simply odd)...but I do get slightly annoyed whenever society makes comments that take for granted everyone loves life and wants to live. I know it's supposed to be one of our animal instincts and I'm not suggesting that's what this thread is doing, I'm just relieved to read that people here do acknowledge, as Eliphaz put it, the temptation for non-existence, which probably reflects the reality in most people's lives more accurately but a sentiment that could be very difficult to share in a social situation.

Enough of my signature meaningless babble...in response to the question, I live mainly for the thought that if I don't, I could be actively devastating the lives of people I love and who love me (i.e. a few special someones then). And while I'm being held hostage to that, I might as well do something to help better the lives of people who do want to live. And also a little unease and uncertainty of what comes after.

The secret of a joyful life is to live dangerously. A joyful life is an active life - it is not a dull static state of so-called happiness. Full of the burning fire of enthusiasm, anarchic, revolutionary, energetic, daemonic, Dionysian, filled to overflowing with the terrific urge to create - such is the life of the man who risks safety and happiness for the sake of growth and happiness.

Haha dude, this is the third time since I joined the forum that you've changed your destination! Good for you, though. Sweden is an excellent choice. Scandinavia rules. Just don't freeze to death.

Hey man you're back - you must have been so productive while away! ;-)

I live for, hoping to ...

1. General dreams (buy home, get married, have kids, go on a holiday a few times a year, be productive, enjoy being human, etc)
2. Try and make the world a better place

What keeps me going ...

1. Coffee
2. Hope that I'll achieve the above
3. A fear of the quote, "Man is not old until hopes and dreams turn into failure and regret"

.... yeah sorry - a bit off putting perhaps. Now off to have some morning coffee!

+1

I'm open for debate (of why we should re-/embrace Islam), but I will no longer participate in this forum. Message me if you need anything. Good luck and may you all find your way... again...
