Hello /sci/

Since I believe this is the most mature board on 4chan.

Why do we live if we are just going to die. ;_;

>> No.958503

To reproduce.

>> No.958504

Op here, so you guys are implying that until we do reproduce, we will die? So then what is the point of living for sex? That seems rather dumb.

>> No.958516

>>958503
Technically, yes. I believe we have a deeper, philosophical thingy on our hands here, though. I'd hate to be trapped in a mode of thinking that said that I was just a penis with a wallet.

IMO, to learn. To ask really important questions that have near meaningless answers.

It really isn't. All it is is lolitrollu all day everyday.

>Why do we live if we are just going to die. ;_;

I don't see what being a "mature" board has to do with this. The fact is that you should live your life as you want, to its fullest, and make sure you get a good career so you can support yourself and your family. Anyone can tell you that. I know it may be a bit depressing at times, but you can only make the best of things during your stay here.

Life is a journey. If you are not enjoying your life, you are doing it wrong. So go out and do things that make you happy, eat some good food, play video games, etc. Death will happen there is no escaping it, but you will only be dead on one day in your whole life. You still have many more days of life ahead of you.

The truth is that the definition of life, or that which harbors experience, is completely human and arbitrary. Essentially, there is no such thing as life and death.

We see someone die and assume that is the end because we see that with our eyes -- but brothers, when you look up at the sky do you know that as the end of the universe because you cannot actually see past it?

You do not live to die because you are not alive in the first place.

>> No.958830

>>958819
An immortal, bored with all-mighty power, strips himself of it and fears death for entertainment. God cannot die, and in some respect, this limits his power -- you must consider life as an answer to the paradox.

Life is an answer to a question -- not a question to answer.

ITT: Fags that don't realize that the odds of time being now instead of some other time in the future is very small.

Life is most likely a game of some sort.

The meaning of life is defined by the organism. So tell me OP, why do you live?

I believe the meaning of life itself, not my life, is to spread (reproduce), and to be fucking happy, experience pleasure, etc.

However you may accomplish these means may vary, perhaps your source of happiness is knowledge, perhaps you prefer simpler means of life, it could be anything.
