There isn't one. I'm allergic to puns.

Since you live in a western nation the resources you currently use could in theory also keep 100 African children or so alive. They will now die while wanting to live, while you live without wanting to. Sad, isn't it ?

Even sadder is we cannot efficiently transfer your resources to them, so your death would not save them. So think of the starving children - and enjoy your life.

Well that's unfortunate, btw it is there. But it isn't even a good one. Life is a board game. If it was the only game in town it would be Monopoly. Looks like a paradox to me. This all a trivial pursuit anyway.

Really old is 120+
At 70+ you can still work!

Consider this - regardless of whether there is a deity or not - if you weren't supposed to be here, you wouldn't be here. If you weren't supposed to be alive, you wouldn't be alive. Enjoy it while you've got it.

Depressed people can hardly enjoy life. Fortunately, modern drugs like SSRIs can resolve the situation easily. The only hard step to take is to admit to yourself you're experiencing a dangerous health condition and to make yourself go and see a doctor... That's about all...

are you in a relationship? If not, you might want to give it try. Love and/or affection as way of giving us some reason to live and to keep us here. This coming from someone who's asked the questions you're asking now, far more times than I'd like to have. I promise you this though, if you give it enough time, you will find answers to those questions.

What's so bad about fruit cake?

Muravyets mother is supposed to make a good fruitcake. Speaking of which. Murv, where's the recipe?

My wife makes a really good fruitcake as well...

There's no great pupose to life. As long as you're getting something out of it, keep living. When you don't get anything out of it, quit.
