    Yep, so go off, get out of yer gourd and shag something.

    You need to find God, then you can ponder how pointless eternity might seem. At least you'll have time to write longer posts.

    You'll feel much happier OP if you give me all your money and property.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 Voice of the Ages


    It's pointless in it's most basic definition.

    The difference is that humans are capable of creating their own purpose, no matter how inane it might be.

    Why did you post that?

    If there is a point to that post then life is not pointless.

    You posted it so therefore there must have been a point to it.

    Deep!

    Omar I'm posting this in every one of your threads from now on.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 353 ✭✭EchoO


    I'm guessing you're a teenager op and that you're going through a phase that most of us go through - it will pass.

    .....about religion, apologetics, metaphysics, maybe some art and poetry and some music etc...

    Find out as much as you can about people who went through the same thing and came out stronger for it.

    All the big religious "heavy hitters", Ignatius Loyola, Martin Luther etc went through emotional agonies about basic things like the nature of God, his existance and the relevance of religion to everyday life.

    Each and everyone of us is on a journey and each and every one of us has our own answer.

    So make up your own point. Breed the best ****zu terrier ever. I don't even know if that's a breed of dog.

    There is no point, other than to enjoy your life as much as you can. Currently I have two boys. I really want to stay around and watch those kids grow up and enjoy every moment of my life and theirs.

    Without them I would have nothing to live for.

    We'll be dead forever, enjoy it while you can.

    If you think your special you're wrong. Take a look at old photos of people back in the early part of the twentieth century. You know the sort of thing, old sepia pictures. All of those people are dead now and all of them truly believed they were special. But they are all dead long since and long forgotten.

    The only thing that separates us from them is time.

    Enjoy your life, that is the only imperative. There is no afterlife.

    Weird fcukin' threads!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    You're dead right Omar. Your life is totally pointless. Well spotted. Stick your thumb in a pencil sharpener, couple of turns and you'll have a lovely point to concentrate on. Be worse if it was pint-less.

    if we're all gonna die anyway we may as well call it a race

    Tried some single malt tonight - and now the world has infinite possibilities - when the effect wears off my opinions may have modified somewhat.
    In the meantime I am quite malleable.
    I didn't really mean that - it's just that I don't get the chance to use the word malleable much.

    OP speaks the truth -

    Happiness and peace of mind are proportional to our ability to put the inevitable to the very back of our everyday thoughts.....

    Life's TOUGH OP, but it sure aint pointless .....! Look at the state the country is in ..... EVERYTHING is better than that ..!

    Take pleasure in the simple things, I know I have to...!

    For example, 10 minutes sitting in sunshine once a week (between rain showers) (!) in the Summer Time, a VERY cold glass of Chardonnay with my home-cooked meal (which is cooked in HUGE pot and balance is freezed for about five other dinners), cutting huge gardens of grass with electric lawnmower because I can't afford a petrol one ..... I dance with the cables ..!:D. U know ... Im not being sarcastic here, everything's a challenge at the min ... and I've always loved a challenge!

    Keep heart ... we're all here for a reason + life's too short to wish it away!;)

    No we're not, a human is no more important than a bird or an otter.

    If you think of all life on earth as one big bunch of cells, everything blends into one. Imagine an alien species that couldn't differentiate one cell from another it would see earth in a totally different light and would highlight just how important humans are, which is not really all that important at all. To me that's freedom.
