There's no point

[thatguywhosaysEH]

I view life as a void, and in the beginning we see a light; but as time goes by this so called "light" becomes dimmer and dimmer until poof, it's gone and we are now surrounded by darkness. What meaning does life have? What purpose do we serve? For every smile we cause will soon become a frown, every person we make happy will once again be sad, and every life we save will still be lost. Nothing in this world could make me happy, because everything in this world is worthless.

The only reason we exist is to merely exist, but our existence means nothing; and since are existence means nothing, we may as well cease to exist. For a non-existent being is still as worthless as an existent one. Everything we are, everything we strive to be, everything we do, and everything we hope to do is a waste of time, because it has no meaning. I could look death in the eyes and yet I would not care, for I know that I as well as every other being am just a piece of a whole world, and yet that world is nothing. I compare us to a piece of lint, why? Because If i asked if you thought a piece of lint was worthless you would say yes, because it has no meaning, no value, and no purpose. A human is one the same; we have no meaning, no value, and no purpose: We are as worthless as a piece of lint.

I want to die, I am not going to kill myself, but I will live unhappily awaiting death. I have friends, a family that loves me, a roof over my head, and get good grades - life is good. But this changes nothing, I still go through every day sad, with a smile covering this emptiness I have inside me, as nobody other than myself knows I feel this way. If anything, every passing day is better because it is just one day sooner until I die, until this miserable thing called life is over.

Wow that's my exact same perspective of live. I have left the social world and most of the time I live in my fantacy world where everything is a little less overwelmingly "dim". Some times I await death patently. But I think that everyone has a purpose. I think that I may have a purpose because I've been so close to death multiple times. For example:

There were complications with my birth and I was born early because my heart stopped.

When I was three I was mauled by a large dog and the bite was deep, 2 inches away from my heart.

When I was six I almost took serious brain damage when I fell off my bike onto a metal grate without a helmet

Etc.....

Sometimes I feel that if I had no purpose I would have been dead by now. So either I have some purpose or the universe hates me. Anyway if you were as insignificant as a ball lint you would have faded out of existence by now. But you're still here so you must have some purpose.

I await death, and will not fear it when it comes, for we only live to die. I still believe we have no purpose. In my opinion (about what you said about having a purpose because you are still alive) whether we survive something or not has nothing to do with a purpose that we may serve, but is rather merely determined by chance. Each and every encounter with misfortune has an outcome, whether it be death, injury, or well-being. The outcome is decided solely by probability; as each outcome is one of the many options that could have happened. I believe that, no matter the outcome, it is not because you have a purpose, it is just probability.

And on the matter of why we have not faded out of existence if we are as insignificant as a ball of lint is that we has humans have not allowed ourselves to fade out of existence. Humans, unlike lint, have a brain (but are still equally meaningless) and because of this we can make decisions. Our decision was to place no value upon a piece of lint and because of that we do not care whether or not lint fades out of existence. On the other hand, humans have decided that our life is valuable and have put protections in place to prevent us from fading out of existence, hence the fact that we do not fade out of existence. Albeit we may have a brain which gives us the ability to make decisions, it does not mean we have value, and such I believe that life has no purpose.

To delve further into whether our life is significant, you must first ask yourself whether or not you believe in an after-life. Without the promises of an after-life in which you can hope to achieve by your actions in life, you fail to see meaning in life itself. While I do not believe in an after-life, in the event that it did exist I would still see no purpose in it, for this after-life would just equate to an eternity of being a meaningless being.

I think I will stop here

Look I have nothing inside... I feel nothing physical or emotional. But some times I think if life is pointless than what I do does not effect me in any way. I want to fade out of existence I try every day but it does not work....so at least I can gather the little energy I have and find a pass time.

And you do have purpose... Even if it's to be the most apathetic person ever that is still a purpose. Just think of a world were there is a purpose and live in it. At least you could maybe die with a "smile" on you face..( HA! Smile that's a good one)

Exactly. But it's pointless to end it all because you can't even enjoy the break...

Life hurts :(
