What do you live for?

[AqD]

What do you live for? Everyday I wake up with the question that I have no answer to... it's weird. Anyway, I'm just curious because a lot of people here seem to be pro-life

[mishkin]

Trying to make people around you (family, friends) feel ok? And money, of course.

[Trax]

Out of curiosity.

What will be in the news tomorrow?
What new piece of music I might hear tomorrow, etc.

There enough things for ten lifetimes to see, hear and read.

[mishkin]

Meeting a nice girl? They exist!!!!

Edit: Even meeting a nice person?

[magpie]

Pleasure!

[Claudius Gothicus]

I live for the pleasure, the excitemente, the discovery of living a everyday life.

[Jaketh]

Video games, also to just see how History transpires, whether we become a interstellar race of space travelers or if we all kill eachother into extinction.

Got something better to do?

[Himster]

What do I live for?
Everything. Pleasure on it's own is meaningless without the other stuff.
I can't imagine a life so boring that when you ask every morning if you should die and you have trouble answering that question..... unless your a blind, deaf and dumb quadriplegic with aspergers.

[Psychonaut]

Getting laid. It will happen!

[General Sultan V]

I Live for Music! Well, Actually My dream of music, One day I Will learn and Play The Violin And Piano as much As I Want without Religious A-Holes around me telling me that its Haram. This is what I live for

[karo]

I live for the small things in life, the sun shine, moments shared with loved ones, the pleasure of achieving something, sharing a drink with friends. Almost every night I fall a sleep with a smile on my face and wake up smiling.

Nope, I ask what I live for, what I would do and where I should go, if I choose not to work today, and I no longer have answers to these.


Based the replies above, am I correct that there would be nothing to live for, if you have no loved ones, no achievement to make, and get bored with enough drink, food, and music and the exact same sunshine since millions of years ago, and know that today there wouldn't be any news or new product or game or just anything that would be interesting?

[fkizz]

For doing things I enjoy, trying to surpass obstacles, trying to understand reality, to saciate curiosity on scientific subjects, pleasure.

[mrmouth]

Because the alternative would suck.

I really dont think about it in these terms. I'm here, I have to breath and eat and drink, defecate unfortunately, and along the way I will have good and bad experiences. Hopefully more good than bad. End.

What Trax and Nietzsche said:

For the new year. -- I still live, I still think: I still have to live, for I still have to think. Sum, ergo cogito: cogito, ergo sum. Today everybody permits himself the expression of his wish and his dearest thought: hence I, too, shall say what it is that I wish from myself today, and what was the first thought to run across my heart this year -- what thought shall be for me the reason, warranty, and sweetness of my life henceforth. I want to learn to see more and more as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who makes things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all and all and on the whole: someday I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.

I like the way you raise that deep and beautiful statement.

Very good answer.


There's so much to see, to do, to experience and I've got a long list of things I hope to do. I live for the fun of it I guess, little more reason to.

[Col. Tartleton]

There would be nothing to live for only if you chose not to live. Once you die you have nothing to live for. Until you die you have everything to live for.

I shall live tomorrow because I live today and have lived yesterday. It is neither pleasure nor suffering that compels me onward, but simply the steady passage of time and the natural order of things.

If there is one "new experience" I don't particularly want to try, it's death.

I don't like permanence.

[The Dude]

I don't need a reason to live. I'm already here. Didn't exactly have a say in the matter, rofl.

There is always something interesting, interesting doesn't mean new, everything is interesting in the right light.
