Subject: Our existence, as a whole, is just plain depressing

Before you were nothing, now you're something and you're complaining about it?

It's fun at least. :)


Barely. Most of the fun stuff in this world is life threatening.

I'm religious, so I don't fear what comes after death. And I have a meaning in life.

I have my religion and it gives me purpose and guidance. I like it, and I will stick with it.

I wasn't nothing, I was scattered unconscious particles.

I've also been raised in a religious family and have been a Christian mostly my entire life. Only within the last couple of years have I been questioning my own faith and having thoughts like the one in my OP.

  • 01.02.2013 7:39 PM PDT

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

Why think about things like that?

All that matters is you make the best out of what's given to you!

And if you end up remembered 'till the end of time, then good on you!

Life is what it is, from cradle to grave. The world may be a sinking ship, but that inevitability doesn't justify acting out in negative ways.

I may be a bit biased being a Catholic, but I think the time you spend here is important. Don't dwell on the fact that it's not important to everyone else, but think about how important it is to you.

Cheer up OP, I'm sure there's some stuff you can do to get your mind off of these things (:

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

The only thing I'm depressed about is the point in time I live in.

I feel as if I have no purpose. If I was in the past I could help explore the world or contribute to the growing culture (if I was in the peaceful, successful ones of course) or in the future when we colonise space.


"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

Whenever I think about this I get chills down my spine and my fear of dying returns.

We all must die, and to me that's comforting.

'Many do not realize that
We here must die.
For those who realize this,
Quarrels end.'

You're afraid of death because beings that fear death live, and beings that live reproduce, and reproduction leads to more living beings that fear death.

You're a slave to evolution, and evolution is chance.

Your master doesn't share your values, and you have no way to kill it.





Best to build something that can.

Don't forget his quote about death,

"I didn't think it would end this way."
"End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world is rolled back, and all is turned to silver glass. And then you see it..."
"What, Gandalf? See what?"
"White shores, and beyond... a far green country under a swift sunrise."
"Well... that isn't so bad."
"No... no it isn't.

I've frequently questioned my beliefs
Called it.

In purely objective terms, yes. You're born, you do some stuff, maybe you're lucky and leave a lasting impact, but probably not, and then you die.

In my opinion, life is about fulfillment. Everyone goes about it differently, some in more positive ways than others. Find what makes you happy, indulge in it, and if you happen to leave a lasting impression on the world, well that's just super.

You have to find your own meaning.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

Ahh...This kind of a discussion needs the proper music

Now, it could be depressing, if you let it get to you. You decide what effects you.

Join the Halo Haven group!

death used to bother me, but it really doesnt any more, whenever i stop and think, 'one day i'll be dead', im ok with that, i just sorta laugh to myself and get on with stuff.

nothing happens when you die, and im perfectly ok with that. its miraculous that we're all here in the first place, so i might as well make the most of it whilst it lasts.

The matter that makes up my body comes from stars which spewed their guts across the cosmos. The ENTIRE Earth's history is in my body. You and I are a culmination of all that every was and ever will be. We are matter assembled according to a self replicating blue print. Yes, I'm not pumped for death but it's a two sided coin, OP.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Odyssey Genesis

Why would you be afraid of death?

Let me put it this way: Time is simply a human-fabricated notion, essentially humankind's way of measuring a phenomenon that has been occurring forever. As far as I'm concerned, we're already all dead. Everything that has occurred before, after and at this moment will or has happened. The sequence of events that define the universe takes only one course (as far as we know). The only thing that separates these events is minute spaces of "time".

My point is, because time is irrelevant to the progress of the universe, everything event has occurred all at once. It's just a perspective, I guess...
