Life

[Lackadaisical2]

Don't listen to all the hippies telling you how you can make the world a better place. I never believed in that sort of tripe. Just do life to enjoy it, don't take it so seriously, things will work out better if you learn to take some things in stride.

[Pope Joan]

Why not?

Maybe tomorrow a kid will smile at you.

They don't always, but sometimes they do.

Maybe you'll have a warm cinnamon roll and some hot coffee and hear your favorite song.

Maybe somebody will need your help; many do.

Life gets better once you stop being a teenager. If you can make it through that, you'll have made it through the most difficult time of your life.

I'd never want to be a teenager again. I have up and down times, but it will never be as bad or as difficult.

It might be, though you might suffer a crippling injury or a loved one dies or something. I don't mean to sound pessimistic but it could happen.
Then there's old age, that's hardly a cake walk either.

Old age isn't as much mental torture as it is physical. But if you exercise, eat well, and keep your mind active, you can have a decent old age. As for being crippled, yeah, it can happen, but the chances are more likely that it won't.

And if you lose your mind instead of your body, you'll never know it.

I have been practicing senility for decades, so nobody will worry about any changes in my behavior.

Actually i don't see why mental processes should be seperate from physical ones, if you have physical torture then there's every possibility you'l have increased stress or limitations on moving about. Thus psychological issues are increased.
and as you get older you'l lose contact with your friends or relatives, not through any fault of your own, they just die off.

The service they use for phones is so annoying its not surprising...I blame the operators not being able to talk as themselves,

(for some reason we don't get many female postwomen....don't know why)

Because by the time they've become postwomen, they are no longer female. Similarly, postmen are no longer male. That's why they've got that prefix "post-" in there.
To deliver the mail, one must become something more than the gender binary allows. One must become ... postgendered.

I did as well... I'm blaming it on being the latest generalite to have H1N1 though...

[Cameroi]

Well, I have been in deep thought about life for the past month and I have been wondering: what reason do I have to continue to live? If I were to die it wouldn't have any effect on the space or time. My life means nothing as a whole so why should I continue to live?

meaning is meaningless and has no bearing on reasons to live or not to.
curiosity is what keeps me going.
i mean if your dead, you miss out on seeing what comes next. here i mean.
either you'll be not existing at all, at least temporarily.
or so busy with whatever existence you'll have 'there' that you'll have forgotten
all about here and could care less about it.

i mean you can do that without dying too. a lot of people seem rather intent on doing so.

which actually, is the main reason why, a lot of what's unpleasant in this world is that way.

so there's usually a lot of other options.
what it comes down to basically, is that the odds of being alive being more interesting
then being dead are mostly pretty good.
life is always changing too. so if things are pretty crappy, there's a real good chance they'll
find some other way of being more gratifying one way or another sooner or later.

i mean, after you've seen the wonders of the world changing and changing again and again for 60 or 80 years, then maybe i could see maybe wanting to move on and try something else.

then there's this also. if you really aren't curious about what might happen next in this world, well there's all kinds of things that are risky for one person to do, but might make things better for others.

i'm not talking about indenturing yourself to the military of some existing nation, most if not all of which leave rather a great deal to be desired, but more like on the edge kind of activism.

i don't mean blowing yourself up to kill people either, that's just as crappy too, but more like if you really don't care about living, then you really don't have to worry about getting really powerful people pissed off at you, as long as its for doing the right thing that they think they're getting something out of people not doing.

There's no reason at all to live, aside from any reason you give yourself.

Not because it makes a difference to "space or time", but because it makes a difference to you. You would be wasting the great, unactualized potential that exists in you. Your life is far from "nothing" from this, the most important, perspective.

People tend to underestimate themselves, so don't make that mistake for yourself and make something of your life and yourself.

[Cannot think of a name]

Dude, if you weren't alive you couldn't save your younger brother from the ice so he wouldn't go on to be a total war hero and shit, and you wouldn't prevent Mr. Gower from poisoning that kid when he was all depressed, and you won't be able to prevent the run on the bank with your honeymoon money or get the Bedford Falls bitches out of the Potter slums and into low cost housing and then I wont get my mother fucking wings, and bitch, I want my damn wings. I'm tired of taking the winged bus. Try thinking of someone else for a change, dude...

Egoism? Always a good reason, really.

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.
