What's the point of life? (quote, band)

GravitySlips · 01-14-2008, 06:55 PM

There's no universal meaning to life. People can create their own purpose, their own meaning, their own point. They can live their lives according to what they've defined for themselves, without needless speculation about some higher purpose behind human existence. We're capable of rational thought, so we must be special? Nope. That's called evolution.

If there really is some "higher purpose" then who has decided what that is? God? What is God? If there was some God entity who decided what "the point of life" is, he didn't make it clear enough for me so it's his own fault if I don't adhere to it. If he banishes me to eternal damnation because of this, then I wouldn't have been interested in worshipping him anyway.

there is no higher purpose, there is only us, only this, forget, regret, move on, or else your going to miss a helluva a lot in life.

i think the point of life is to find the point of life.. therefore there is no real point yet we all keep searching

As Oscar Wilde said "No theory of life seem to be of any importance compared with life itself"

What i say is just stop worrying about what life 'means' and just live it. dont waste it

The point of life is to keep your finger off the self-destruct switch long enough for someone else to take advantage of you.

"There was a message written in pencil on the tiles by the roller towel. This was it:
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?

Trout plundered his pockets for a pen or pencil. He had an answer to the question.

To be
the eyes
and ears
and conscience
of the Creator of the Universe,
you fool"
