Have you ever thought about life? About really how pointless it is?

Yeah I know how you feel. I mean life be it may pointless, we are stuck with it. If you take your own life (DO NOT ATTEMP) then what you are waiting for is a whole different endless life. So try to suck it up, go with the flow.

what's the real meaning of life?

I can't say it has ever crossed my mind...\n\nHow could you have no hypothetical situations?\n\nThat would mean we lost the ability to wonder about the "what if" scenarios.       We would have lost the ability to think.

There isn't a true meaning of life, any more than there is a true meaning of rocks, or a true meaning of gravity.\n\nThis is not the same thing as saying life is pointless or worthless. It's what you aim for that counts - as the saying goes, shoot for the moon, and even if you miss you reach the stars. You have to agree with yourself which aims make sense, where you want to go - nobody can do this for you, they won't be the right ones. For me, coming to terms with the fact I can't do everything was the first step towards realising I can do something. \n\nMay you work out what your own personal something is, and exceed it!

I ask myself that nearly every minute of my life, so...\n\nI give up, what are we doing here?

What if you found out what the point is?  What if you found out the meaning of life? Wuuld you be satisfied?  nope.  You wouldn't.  We are never satisfied.\n\nWe deal with those things because as living creatures is our nature to stay alive.  The the thought of losing a life is usually a lot worse than anything else.

When you die, that's it.  There is no purpose to life except the purpose you give it.  \n\nThis may seem depressing if you've never pondered it before, but once you accept it, it's immensely liberating.

Yes I have, and I find the idea downright scary! I mean, why does there have to be something instead of not something? This is actually a very old philosophical question and IMO a deeply religious one too.

No this isn't the life I had imagined.  It is both better and worse, depending on when I was doing the imagining.  But I have a lot to be grateful for, if I look for it.  I married my best friend, we have a nice but modest home, and we are both employed.  We have friends and family who love us.  Although not in perfect health, we are mobile and not living in constant pain.  Our needs are taken care of and sometimes some of our wants.  There are folks who have more than and less than us---but as long as we are grateful for what we have things are good.  Very good.\n\nLife IS an adventure---regardless of where you are.  Really look around you to see all of the people you have the opportunity to make a difference in.  Even the little things that you say to a child or stranger may make a difference.  When I remember the simple things that people said to me that changed my life, I doubt that those people knew how much it would mean to me years later.  To love and be loved is the most productive anyone can be.  To give to others is the most rewarding thing you could do in life.\n\nAre you only concentrating on the positive things in your life that you want to grow or the negative things?

Nothing does exist, nothing is real. Life is a journey, not a destination. Our perception of life is only memory and stimulation of senses. These things are not permanent in time. After our bodies and mind have decayed, from our perspective nothing exists. Because our memory of our entire life is also decayed, our life will also not exist. \n\nTherefore we exist only in the eyes of God because only God can transcend time. We are a creation of God and a part of him. Death is permanent. Death is reality.

We'll never know. And what's the point of knowing anyways? If you know you go to an afterlife paradise like heaven... won't you just kill yourself? If you know that you would go into another life, like reincarnation... you'll still forget everything you know now, so you wouldn't know that you've been through reincarnation in your new life... what do you know? This life may be your five thousandth reincarnation... what's the point of knowing if you'll forget in your new life?\n\nThese kind of questions are just there to let us ponder... let us know that we'll never know... yet still ponder...

Honestly, the deepest thought I can think of is Nothing. Seriously, close your eyes and try to envision nothing. Most likely, the colour black or white will pop into your mind, as if those 'blank slates' are nothing. But even blank slates are somethings...and if you really think about it, even Nothing is Something. What would True Nothingness be? And if you could ever actually think of it, would you ever be able to resume thinking thoughts again, or would the Nothingness be vacuous like a mental black hole?

No. I take you have though. Or are you just thinking about it?
