View Full Version : Life is so futile... help me!

Recently I've just been thinking about how futile and pointless it is to have a "productive life." When you think about it, the only purpose of life is to live. The only purpose is to exist, there is no such thing as progress.
Also, free will. What makes you decide to do the things you do? Who chooses what personality you will have? Aren't there just some cases where you just look at something the way you do because its just the way you are? Who decides?
If you're going to answer this by quoting things I said and then responding with "That is such a stupid fucking idea," or some retarded shit like that, please don't bother. It doesn't help. At All.
Shit!
Nothing makes sense, so I won't think about it. I'll go with the ignorance.
Eat, sleep, fuck and flee; in four words, that's me.
I am full of indifference.
What do the old people teach us but how to die (die) die (die)
and what do those hissy fits teach you except how to cry, pussy, cry?
Yeah the futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful.
Futile, the futile, it outweighs the beautiful.
Futile, the futile, the futile so (the futile, the futile)
Taste. I have no taste.
I don't like these tiny portions with your artful abortions of sound,
sealed with a kiss, slathered in the sauce sarcastic.
So go choke on your irony.

I'm eating rat poison for dinner. Pull the cord from the phone.
I am dining alone, Tonight, rat poison for dinner. So goodnight.
Love! I shall not love, yet I'll still sing about it.
I hope it covers the ocean in slime, the drama and drool.
I'm leaking the blood of a fool. (I'm full of it, I'm full of it, I'm full.)
Rat poison for dinner, pull the chord from the phone. I am dining alone.
Tonight. Rat poison for dinner, pull the chord from the phone.
I am dining alone. Tonight. Oh I am dining alone. Tonight. Tonight. Tonight.

Don't think about things..just do whatever you want. Honestly, if you think about things like life and shit like that you'll never understand it. Live life, be happy. That's all.

hey socretes, it's the "personal life forum" not the "i'm so fucking cool that i'm going to be all philisophical" forum.
You're reading too much into things that you shouldn't waste time thinking about. Lay off the pot and go have fun.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, you've probably already wasted your life, so you don't have to worry about all that "productive life" shit
Also, free will. What makes you decide to do the things you do? Who chooses what personality you will have? Aren't there just some cases where you just look at something the way you do because its just the way you are? Who decides?
Hahaha...had to point that one out. So backward logically that I want to slap you. You ask two huge overarching questions and then follow it up with a bullshit question that nullifies both of them...good work
I'm gonna guess you are 16 and you realized their was a library at your school....my suggestion, start with the picture books and work your way up

Don't listen to some of these kids out there, they seem to be downers. The best thing you can do is to relax and try not too think too into detail about things in life that cannot simply be answered with a exact answer. You are who are, you grew up on the things you've learned, you're personality is based of what you know, what you've seen and you're enviornment. Enjoy it, don't question it. Free Will is given to us for a reason. I hope this helps, if not, let me know.

so many people have put so much into finding out the meaning of life. I think the meaning of life is just living and doing what makes you happy. If progressing in life is your happiness then so be it. If sitting on the couch all day is life to you, then so be it.
To each his own.

don't listen to this kid, he seems to think that your post is relevant and deserving of an actual response.

I think his post is relevant. Who cares if he's 16? That doesn't bar him from philosophical thought by any means, as long as he knows what he's talking about and keeps an open mind.
As for the meaning of life... Dude no one knows it, there has been so much thought on this topic, thousands of books written, quotes all over the place. The best thing to do is, as everyone said, don't look at things in such detail.
I understand because when I was 16 I used to think upon my future life and think "Well, I'm going to finish college and get a decent 5/6 figure job. I'm going to marry, and she may marry me for money. We'll probably have kids that I will regard as failures and look with disappointment and shame upon, like my parents look upon me today. They'll probably loathe me. I'll probably get a divorce around 50. My life will probaly end at about 80 and I don't think I'll feel any sense of accomplishment, my whole world will collapse and I will literally die alone." And it's true. But I stopped worrying about it. Knowing it's going to happen and you can do nothing to stop it sucks. Face it - we all die - we all accomplish little to nothing.
The best part is to keep it off your mind with alcohol, videogames, sex, movies, cartoons, whatever you want. Just don't think about it.

Read Camus "the stranger" and his essay, "the myth of Sissyphus." You might like it.
Just fully dedicate yourself to doing what makes you happy and you will ultimately be happy and that's all that matters.

Hey Dick Head, It's the "personal life forum," not the "i'm going to chastise people discussing philosophical dilemmas they are dealing with in their personal life" forum.
You're wasting to much time at feeble attempts to cut into people when you would be better off taking your head out of your ass and looking at the world around you for once. Lay off the power trips and learn how to spell Socrates.

yes, i did in fact misspell Socrates, that's my fault.
and you misspelled dilemmas, yet i'm not on you're nuts about it.
However, I'm wasting alot of time coming up with one liners that take about 3 seconds to post? god, what would have happened in those 3 seconds? Could i have live my life to a greater extent had I not wasted those 3 seconds? How does this effect the continuation of time? Would the future be greatly altered had I not "wasted" those 3 seconds it took to write either of my posts in this thread? Like, omgZ!!!1!! my head's spinning with the thought of the possibilities.
Either way, worrying about such feeble things as this kid posted about, instead of just living life the way you want is really the waste of time. Not my one liners. But thanks for playing, though.

I guess you live to feed off degrading others b/c it makes you feel better about your own insecurities. W/e gets you off buddy. I guess it makes you happy.

yes. you are correct. I've been found out. I live to degrade others for my own insecurities. It's definitely not the fact that it just passes time before I go about my day. You're absolutely correct. Thank you for point this out to me. I mean, i was just about to go make a thread in here about why i like to come up with 3 second one-liners, but you have helped me see the light. I'm so eternally grateful.
