What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times?

That my landlord generally does not prefer to let me live for free.

Haven't you done this one before?

As the bumper sticker says "Doing my part to piss off the religious right." My reason for living. That and raunchy sex, but done right that'll piss 'em off too.

Cuddles and the need to eat

Well, the alternatives aren't great. :p

You mean I can have a purpose to my life!?:eek::p

Sound reasons for existence, to be sure.

BK beat me to it. Sex is the absolute answer for me. I just saw pictures on myspace of a girl I had "raunchy sex" with from her new modeling agency and was amazed. My wife is hella hot and nearly on par with this one, but I impressed myself all over again knowing that I shagged the daylights out of this delicious dish.

It is purpose that created us.
Purpose that connects us.
Purpose that pulls us.
That guides us.
That drives us.
It is purpose that defines us.
Purpose that binds us.
We are here because of you. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us.

Cuddles and the need to eat
Damn needs! Ah, well, sometimes the cuddles are worth it.:p
Well, the alternatives aren't great. :p

Are you sure? Simply not existing isn't great? I think it would be a profound state of unbeing...or something... >.>

I don't have a purpose. I get up because I have to and the alternative doesn't seem like much fun.

What a pathetic reason to be.



Oh, you meant..... ahahahhahahahahahaha!..... >.>
I don't have a purpose. I get up because I have to and the alternative doesn't seem like much fun.

Depends on whom you ask. I'm not so certain death is an unpleasant thing in itself. The means to it might not be, but I do not think the same can be said of death itself.

That my landlord generally does not prefer to let me live for free.

That's about it, isn't it?

There's also inertia.

And really needing to go to the loo is good at persuading you to get out of bed.

Jon Stewart and my friends.

And really needing to go to the loo is good at persuading you to get out of bed.That's about the only thing that gets me up some mornings.

What, you don't like a dirt nap? :D

No, I can think of many other things i'd rather be doing than slowly decomposing. :)

Are you sure? Simply not existing isn't great? I think it would be a profound state of unbeing...or something... >.>

I don't remember the time before I was born being particuarly profound. :)

he asked "what gets you up in the morning?" "what gets you through tough times?"

my answer : Chocolate Coffee.

Depends on whom you ask. I'm not so certain death is an unpleasant thing in itself. The means to it might not be, but I do not think the same can be said of death itself.

Well...no...since I realistically expect that everything will go dark and that's it, nothing.There's no real room for any unpleasantries.

I kind of feel like it.

That's basically it, along with the very, very tiny possibility of discovering some hidden meaning to it all.

As I get older, I I find it easier to stop thinking so much about life, and instead simply living it. Life has no purpose because it is the purpose.

That's about the only thing that gets me up some mornings.
Never works for me. I have an incredibly elastic bladder.

You don't remember it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't profound.

Bah, it's a matter of semantics, you smartass. :p

So what's your reason for enduring, then? Force of habit?:p

Q:What is the chief end of Man?

A: The chief end of Man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

The purpose of my life is from a scientifical standpoint to breed. But on a more spiritual level, I want to be a kind, happy, generous and acceptive person that helps other people. I have a long way to go before I become a person like that because I'm wasting away most of my time watching TV and playing computer but that is my goal. But right now, I'm going to study because the possibilities get so much bigger in life if you have a proper education.

So what's your reason for enduring, then? Force of habit?:p

While death itself probably wouldn't be unpleasant, it's unlikely to be much fun either. ;)

Life contains its own purpose.

Why, Nationstates General, of course.

I kind of feel like it.

That's basically it, along with the very, very tiny possibility of discovering some hidden meaning to it all.
Which you won't because the question and the answer can't be in the same universe. Everything would become unravelled, so to speak.
As I get older, I I find it easier to stop thinking so much about life, and instead simply living it. Life has no purpose because it is the purpose.

That's just an old man's (or old woman's) excuse to stop thinking as much because his (or possibly her) brain gets too tired. :p

alcohol and gambling.

i live for my friends. without them i would have no purpose.

What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning?

Habit.


The chief end of Man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

I think I'll pass on that. Ta muchly.

While death itself probably wouldn't be unpleasant, it's unlikely to be much fun either. ;)
Is life enough fun to balance out the un-fun? Is it worth the fun you have to prolong an experience that may or may not be temporarily unpleasant?
Why, Nationstates General, of course.

Ah, I remember the good ol' days...

The realization of the promise that the Mole Men will come back to earth some day and set me free from the bonds that you capitalist scumbags have put me in! All Hail King Zeelsus the Great!

-re-adjusts tinfoil hat-

Habit.

I've been recently contemplating emulating the movie Office Space and staying in bed one day, oblivious to any responsibilities. And then act as if nothing at all happened. I might pull that one off just before I leave my current job and see what happens.

I live for the moment.

I have done that once or twice.. Like...half of last semester. Ahh the joys of skipping class!

Is life enough fun to balance out the un-fun? Is it worth the fun you have to prolong an experience that may or may not be temporarily unpleasant?

Sure.

After work today, I sat in front of my computer for some 10 hours. I did absolutely fuck all of value tonight, and you know what? It was good.

And i'm going to sleep in until 3pm tomorrow, and then i'm venture outside to get myself a proper milkshake from the cafe, in a really tall glass. Lime flavour, with icecream. I like milkshakes. And then after that i'm going to go raid the local second hand shops for cheap records.

And then i'm going to come back home and do fuck all again.

More fun than dying? Absolutely.

Oh, uni doesn't count, because everyone does that. :p Yeah, on more than several occasions I did the "Uh....5pm? Oh well." routine. ;)

Arrid - if I do it, expect to see a thread all about it. *nods*

hmmm.... the thought of all those hamsters I've yet to kill! /evil laugh:p

My purpose in life is to find FD in NSG and point and laugh.

*points and laughs at FD*

An interesting idea.

I imagine a number of us would enjoying hearing of this, once enacted.
Sure.

Ah, but that is one moment in a great number of them that compose life. A couple of examples aren't sufficient. And it doesn't answer the question as to whether your life is worthwhile, whether it has any meaning, or if you simply are.

It's a pretty rare find, anymore. :P

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

I am not weak enough to pull the trigger.

Nothing in life is as bad as it seems. Everything happens for a reason. So in different words, I agree with you. I believe that in faith and hope for the future I will be reconciled.

I don't care whether or not it has any meaning, honestly.

I just want my milkshake, because I like milkshakes. Don't you see?

I live for food, friends, and sex....and my computer+internet. :D

Excellent. *steeples fingers*


I'm on to you, hamster murderer!:eek:

*kicks SHAOLIN9's shin and runs away*

Well I AM a pest controller! O.K so hamsters are non-native to the UK but I gotta prepare for the invasion. :p


Seriously though..... do I have a purpose? Probably not. I just am methinks. I muddle my way through life like I guess most people do. My family/friends/girlfriend/games etc. give me reasons to be happy.

What gets me up in the morning? -> alarm clock :p
Yeah I know.... Sad times. How are you occupying all the free time now?

*trips*......*points and laughs once more* :P

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

For purpose, I don't really know. For what keeps me going, it's the fact that I'm too young to die because I haven't gotten laid yet.

I am not weak enough to pull the trigger.

Yes, I think I understand.

An obsession with proving Busheviks wrong as well as D&D.

LOL Invasion, eh? In little hamster-size speedboats and such?:p Sic your powerful Royal Navy on 'em, why dontcha? lol

I think you pretty much verified Nietzsche's arguments against what Christianity had become (and still very much is) at the time. lol

Alarm clocks don't really work for me. :\

Chatting on occasion, but mostly uni work, phone calls to my gf, and occasionally PC games. I dunno where most of the time goes, honestly.

So there is no need for you. They prove themselves wrong. :p

Bah, it's a matter of semantics, you smartass. :p
I feel mischievous today.......I blame the pink hair

i live for my friends. without them i would have no purpose.

i change my mind, i live for my dreams. just the dreams though, not the fulfilment of them.

What gets me up in the morning? Well, during the week it's the fact that I have to earn money to pay my bills, and on the weekend it's usually the fact that my dog needs to pee. What keeps me going through the tough times? Oh, any number of things. Friends, coffee, music, exercise, playing with my dog, video games... I could go on forever.

<snip>
You're alive! :fluffle:

What do I live for?
Life has overall been fun or at least interesting. Death might be the best thing ever or it might totally suck. I have to experience it sooner or later and I don't see a point in rushing it at the moment.

I live for my son. Otherwise there would be nothing stopping me from ending this mayhem.

I live because I'm too lazy to do otherwise. I'm also not sure what else to do. Death frankly takes too much effort.

Ah, I remember the good ol' days...

No, you don't. You weren't even around for 90% of them. :p

I live because I'm too lazy to do otherwise. I'm also not sure what else to do. Death frankly takes too much effort.



No, you don't. You weren't even around for 90% of them. :pI had to check. Your reason for living really had my curiousity up.

BTW, you make a human connection everytime you post.:D

I had to check. Your reason for living really had my curiousity up.

BTW, you make a human connection everytime you post.:D
stfu, do you want them all to want one? <.<

It's not a lasting, emotional connection anyway. Sure, it may bring momentary fun and humour into my life. But would I really care if half of NSG's posters were to die tomorrow?

I live because I haven't died yet. No purpose.

I live for experience. I want to experience as much as possible. To know as much as possible. That's pretty much it.

I live to live. Mainly to see what happens next. Life is season 2 of Firefly. xD

I never really saw the need for any grand "purpose" or "meaning" to life. I've pretty much always thought that purpose, intent, etc. are human inventions.

It really depends. Right now, I have objectives, and they are the main reason why I live.

When I feel down and think life cant get any worst, I always remember that life is fucking crazy and may give you something worth or new in a heartbeat, and make it worth everything.

So, what keeps me living is the knowledge that life is completely crazy and you cant know what will hapen next.

LOL Invasion, eh? In little hamster-size speedboats and such?:p Sic your powerful Royal Navy on 'em, why dontcha? lol

*LOL*

I'd set up a defense wall of nekkid Maggie Thatcher pics. I'm sure that'll keep 'em at bay.

Alarms aren't that great with me either so I use 4, and I'm still always late.

Hmmm... I know what you mean, I'm barely online myself anymore cos of the gf etc. Looks like "real life" is taking over!

I feel mischievous today.......I blame the pink hair

:fluffle: yeah I am!

Quoth the prophet, the sage:

Life may not be exactly pleasant, but it is at least not dull. Heave yourself into Hell today, and you may miss, tomorrow or next day, another Scopes trial, or another War to End War, or perchance a rich and buxom widow with all her first husband's clothes. I advocate hanging on as long as possible.

I live for knowledge.

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

I don't have any.

Laughter. The purpose of life is to enjoy it. :)

What is that gives you purpose to your life?
My life has no purpose.

What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times?
The happy knowlege that someone somewhere is worse off.

For me its simply faith and hope for the future.
Well, you are in for some disappointments.

I live for knowledge.

Laughter. The purpose of life is to enjoy it. :)

Knowledge, aye, and laughter and the love of a good woman. And because the alternative sounds utterly boring. I'm always reminded of Dorothy Parker's poem, Resume:

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

*demands pics* ;)
link in the sig. ;)

It is purpose that created us.
Purpose that connects us.
Purpose that pulls us.
That guides us.
That drives us.
It is purpose that defines us.
Purpose that binds us.
We are here because of you. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us.
That is odd.

Because something is better than nothing.

Besides, this world, for all its faults, is far too fascinating to simply change the channel. It may sound somewhat morbid, but I want to see how it all ends. ;)

Also, Halo 3 hasn't come out yet.

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.
Why does my life need a purpose?

As long as it's fun, I'll keep doing it.

Oi... I hate this question. My answer always depends on my mood. I don't think I currently have a reason to live... Hmm...
...





um...


Oh... I know... I always tend to like challenges. I'm very stubborn like that. You say I can't do something and I immediately have to prove that I can... I can't remember where I'm going with this. This might be why I'm not doing so great at life at the moment. I haven't got anyone breathing down my neck. So yeah, I'm pretty much stuck in limbo at the moment.

Pfft... faith... faith is for weak who can't think of a better reason to live.

I seriously need to get out of education and into a job. Not least because I am fast developing the opinion that all academic are worthless pretenious pricks. I should try and work for a charity or an NGO or similar.
...
an NGO
...
Question: do you use 'an' only when you have a word that begins with a vowel or when you have a word that begins with the sound of a vowel eg. NGO (en-gee-oh).

At the moment, myself... And things that might happen in the not-so-distant future.

Communism...Socialism...whatever you want to call it. Helping the advancement of life...

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

I'm too lazy to commit suicide.

Question: do you use 'an' only when you have a word that begins with a vowel or when you have a word that begins with the sound of a vowel eg. NGO (en-gee-oh).

"An NGO" = correct

"A NGO" = stuttering toddler

Just say 'em aloud to see what I mean...

B to the E to the E to the R!

Not only the drinking thereof, but also the brewing thereof as well.

I live for myself. Austrian Economics, philosophy and fantasy all make it more entertaining though. :)

Death simply requires too much effort to be attained.

My music.

My children

Or strong enough, as the case may be.




The only exception is when it is ordained through a loss of honour, as in bushido. Otherwise, giving up is always weakness.

The acquisition of knowledge.


and yes, I have long since realized that all of the knowledge I will acquire in my lifetime will be lost when I die, making my existence ultimately futile.


Oh well, as Oscar Wilde once said "Fuck it"

I live for myself. Austrian Economics, philosophy and fantasy all make it more entertaining though. :)

Death simply requires too much effort to be attained.

Not to mention a very strong will, as well as a death wish.


"Where's Ernest T.?"

"He head a death wish, so I shot him. And now I'm going to Emmit's Fix-It Shop to fix Emmit."

First thing that pops to mind: I live for this! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbktkagCX6c)

(If you substitute "Mets" for "Red Sox")

More seriously, day by day I set a small goal for myself, and if I do it, I get this nice little warm feeling inside. I like that feeling. :)

So there is no need for you. They prove themselves wrong. :p

Why you gotta be like that?

*goes off, prepares to shoot self, then realizes doesn't want to die a virgin*

Why you gotta be like that?

*goes off, prepares to shoot self, then realizes doesn't want to die a virgin*
I wonder, why do people say that? If you're dead it's not as if it'd matter!

I feel mischievous today.......I blame the pink hair
I do, too. :p
i change my mind, i live for my dreams. just the dreams though, not the fulfilment of them.
Curious. And just how does this work precisely?
What do I live for?
Life has overall been fun or at least interesting. Death might be the best thing ever or it might totally suck. I have to experience it sooner or later and I don't see a point in rushing it at the moment.

Might it not be irrelevant?

To spread my seed far and wide. (Though mostly, it ends up on my mouse.)

To spread my seed far and wide. (Though mostly, it ends up on my mouse.)

... well, an honest ambition at least. :p

I live because I'm too lazy to do otherwise. I'm also not sure what else to do. Death frankly takes too much effort.



No, you don't. You weren't even around for 90% of them. :p
It was the old days for me, some nine months ago. :p Besides, the way I posted during the summer, one might wonder if I lived for NSG. lol
stfu, do you want them all to want one? <.<

It's not a lasting, emotional connection anyway. Sure, it may bring momentary fun and humour into my life. But would I really care if half of NSG's posters were to die tomorrow?
Half, no, but some of us, yes. I know you'd miss me, old-timer. :fluffle:
I live for experience. I want to experience as much as possible. To know as much as possible. That's pretty much it.
Stuff your experience. But I'll take the knowledge. :p
*LOL*

I'd set up a defense wall of nekkid Maggie Thatcher pics. I'm sure that'll keep 'em at bay.

Alarms aren't that great with me either so I use 4, and I'm still always late.

Hmmm... I know what you mean, I'm barely online myself anymore cos of the gf etc. Looks like "real life" is taking over!

Ha! I'm sure there's some sort of article from one (or both) of the Geneva Conventions on the issue forbidding such photos to exist.

I just use the one, but I set it an hour and a half or so early. Takes half an hour for it to work. It might get back to the point it won't work at all. I hope not, though. :S

Yeah. Mine doesn't even live that close, and still she occupies a lot of my time. lol

I like my life. I find happiness and satisfaction in most of the things I do, and most of the people I'm around. That's basically it. I have no pretentions to 'meaning' or 'purpose'. The biggest scheme I can see myself being part of is an environmental or political movement.

I wonder, why do people say that? If you're dead it's not as if it'd matter!

If I'm gonna not exist anymore, I guess it might feel good to know that at least before I disappear into oblivion, I did something right... ;)

It makes a great joke, though.

If I'm gonna not exist anymore, I guess it might feel good to know that at least before I disappear into oblivion, I did something right... ;)
Would be ironic if you got the girl pregnant just before you died. :p

*demands pics* ;)
I've been away for too lond if I'm forgetting to demand photos at every turn. :(
Laughter. The purpose of life is to enjoy it. :)
Could it really be so simple!?:eek::p
Well, you are in for some disappointments.
I rather agree.
Knowledge, aye, and laughter and the love of a good woman. And because the alternative sounds utterly boring. I'm always reminded of Dorothy Parker's poem, Resume:

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;

And drugs cause cramp.

I haven't read that in some time. It always appealed to me as the bare minimum excuse to not commit suicide. :p

... well, an honest ambition at least. :p

Think of my mission the next time you receive sticky change at the supermarket.

Would be ironic if you got the girl pregnant just before you died. :p

P0WN3D!!!

That is odd.
It's roughly Kenobi's lecture to Luke about the Force.
I live for myself. Austrian Economics, philosophy and fantasy all make it more entertaining though. :)

Death simply requires too much effort to be attained.
Those do, indeed, make things more entertaining.
The only exception is when it is ordained through a loss of honour, as in bushido. Otherwise, giving up is always weakness.

What about pursuing the great unkown? Wouldn't it take some courage and strength to die simply to explore that which we do not understand?

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

He he he. I just made a post.

>.>

<.<

He he he.

I am greatly amused.

Why you gotta be like that?

*goes off, prepares to shoot self, then realizes doesn't want to die a virgin*
Just how I am?:p And it's fun/funny.

I wonder, why do people say that? If you're dead it's not as if it'd matter!
It's either an immortality through progeny thing or it has to do with propagation of the species, which might well be the cause of the former.:p
If I'm gonna not exist anymore, I guess it might feel good to know that at least before I disappear into oblivion, I did something right... ;)

It makes a great joke, though.
Mostly just a great joke. Other than that....well, I can't see it being taken seriously.
Would be ironic if you got the girl pregnant just before you died. :p

I think that's the idea. :p

I think that's the idea. :p
Leaving an orphaned child behind constitutes doing the right thing? Not so sure on that. :)

Think of my mission the next time you receive sticky change at the supermarket.
Another reason for which I'll stick to using credit cards. ;)

To work my way up in the world and replace the old crooks that make devastating global policies. The pain and agony experienced in Africa is what push me forward and never look back, so here I come (more powerful than Senator Obama;) ).

For my gf, for our future, for our future children.

The enjoyment of existance.

I live for boobies.

What do I live for? I live because I'm afraid of dying. And love, peace on earth and cookies of course.

What is that gives you purpose to your life? What is it in your life that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going through tough times? For me its simply faith and hope for the future.

basically to not upset others by dying (parents, girlfriend)

sometimes a little hope for the future :)

Like most, I prefer to just live...I don't need a philisophical reason to enjoy life.

But, taking the long view...I'd like to raise global awareness of the fact that we need to find a way off of this rock called Earth if we plan to survive as a species. If we don't poison it ourselves, nature will do the job for us.

As a result, my education is directed towards fields that I hope will help me towards that end.

Will it work? Not likely...but nobody will be able to say I didn't try. :)

partialy in the hope of living to see a world nearer and dearer to my heart, and partialy just to see what's over the next hill and arround the next bend.

exploring and creating are what gratify and life is one long trip of both, and of finagling ways over, arround and through, obsticles to them.

I'm actually ill today, but my word, you've made me feel worse.

My purpose in life? To follow whatever road I damn well choose, enjoy the ride, fuck the consequences, and live for myself.:)
