Why do you live?


Sabre

Recommended Posts

As much as I want to, I don't believe in god. In particular I don't believe in reincarnation or the after life.

A common question when someone doesn't have faith is "Why do you live?" the idea being that life is just a tempory bit of unplesantness in between whatever you believe the soul does the rest of the time.

The typical answer is 'love' or 'joy'. I have neither so that means I need a new answer. 'Hope' is often used but that is just meaningless new age crap. It's like the power of heart in captain planet.

Why do I live? Music. I was brought up as a musician. I've lived my life thus far as a musician. I will die a musician. Music gives me a feeling nothing else can ever do.

You sure this is a wise topic to make? This is going to get religious fast.

I think as long as people leave others alone and not get the whole "you're wrong, i'm right" attitude, we should be fine.

This might just be more appropriate for the Pub. We'll see what the mods say.

As for me, I live because I like to learn, and I can't do that when I'm dead. I also like doing things I find entertaining, like reading, writing, gaming, walking on my hands, etc., and I also assume I can't do those activities once I shuffle off this mortal coil. So basically, I live because I don't want to die.

As for your 'hope is new age crap' thing, not necessarily. Sure, lots of people will use it in such a way that it is just a bunch of meaningless crap, but perhaps, in your case, you could live for the hope that eventually you find 'joy' and 'love'. But just maybe.

You sure this is a wise topic to make? This is going to get religious fast.

If things get out of hand then it will definitely migrate somewhere more suitable, but unless me and Sabre start butting heads I don't think we need to worry :P

I live for those great moments in life, like when everything seems to work out perfectly or when you finally accomplish something you've been trying to do for years. It may not be much, but its enough to keep me going.

Why do i live? that is an excellent question. I live for i lack the willpower to stop living. I lack the ability to stop fearing death. and i lack the total insainity that would require me to leave this mortal coil
