If you think about it, life is kind of pointless. When we die, we will forget EVERYTHING we have done. Even if people remember your accomplishments, the universe will eventually collapse and everything that existed will be erased. We basically live here for a while, suffer, then die, amirite?

Theres a reason people have religion.

Idk if this is true but I think you don't keep your memories upon entering heaven at least I don't think you will recall anything because you will be focused on all the awesome things in front of you.

And you won't remember the people you loved and the people that loved you? You won't be able to ask God to do something for them because you've forgotten all about them?

Maybe, but what do I know I am just a man.

And there I was, thinking you were supposed to be Jesus. Shucks.

With that point of view, life is pretty depressing.

Life IS depressing.

that's the one part of life you have COMPLETE control over- you're view of it. sure it will be influenced by what goes on around you, but you get to decide whether or not you want to be depressed

Life is beautiful. Even the fact that we can all recognize and discuss whether or not it's meaningful is fucking incredible.

Woah man, slow down. If people were just living to eventually die, then the universe would just be recycling humans over and over again. And the universe obviously wants to make some sort of profit somewhere; having people live and then die gives no profit nor gain. CHEER UP EVERYONE I HAVE ICECREAM (in the least creepy white van way possible) wary

by Anonymous 14 years ago

the universe does recycle humans. after we die our bodies disintegrate and the atoms are reused.

No but you see, we don't live just to suffer, suffer makes a small part of our lives. We only live to enjoy ourselves and to try as many amazing things as we can. It's not like the point of everything has to be an everlasting effect. Life is like going to an amusement park: sure you'll have fun for a while, maybe throw up here and there, but when you leave happy you won't need to have changed the park at all, it's still there for all other people to enjoy.

great analogy... everybody fasten their seatbelts this rollercoaster will give us one hell of a ride.

Please don't ruin my analogy with something completely cheesy and overused. Life is NOT a rollercoaster and I'm sick of that saying.

That's a good point. Our experience here doesn't necessarily have to be bad.

Depressing? Maybe. Pessimistic? No. This is just being realistic; that's why ignorance is bliss.

Agreed.

No, this IS pessimistic. There is a glass, and he's viewing it as a glass of no water and no nourishment whatsoever, while all it is is a free glass with which to do whatever you like.

It is true. Someday the universe will implode/explode, or at the very least the human race will die out. Nothing will be left. Oh the lulz of mortality

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Universe isn't going to implode, gravity is far to weak compared to dark energy, which repels things

I like your username. From now on I will say "son of a rifle" or "son of a revolver". OT: the universe must end eventually, one way or another.

I know it will end one way or the other, and that is also stated in the bible, I dont believe there will be a big crunch, more likely a big freeze or a big fizzle

A big... crunch? What?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That sounds like a cereal brand wary

XD Kinda does.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Hmm it does, the big crunch was the scientific name for the collapse of the universe, opposite of the big bang

by Anonymous 14 years ago

So we're all gonna be killed by a mothereffingly huge meteorite?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

We could be, but the universe wouldnt end

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Wait. You just said the big bang is the theory of the creation of the universe. And the big crunch is the opposite. So let's say a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY mothereffingly huge meteorite...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

No, it would have to be something that counteracts dark energy so much, that the universe implodes on itself, which is impossible from what I know

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm just going to pretend I know what dark energy is and say okay, cool.

Opposite of gravity

We were talking with the master regarding the nature of conceptual reality. Psychologically speaking, the human mind, or brain, or whatever are almost incapable of distinguishing between the real, and the vividly imagined. Sound, film, music and radio. Even these manipulated experiences are received more or less directly and uninterpreted by the mind. They are cataloged and record upon, stored in the memory, or both. Now this process, unless we pay it tremendous attention, begins to separate us from the reality of the now. Am I being clear? For we must allow the now to just happen, as it happens. For where there is clarity, there is no choice, and where there is choice...there is misery...but then, why should I speak? Since I know nothing.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Sorry, I found what you were putting across extremely interesting, but I didn't quite understand what it was that you were saying, would it be okay if you could explain that again

by Anonymous 14 years ago

No one has any idea what happens when we die, so this might not be true.
