Why do you continue living?
What gives you meaning in life?
Why do you continue along this road, when you know what ever you do it ends in death?
This may seem a dark topic, but I always find it interesing trying to understand why people continue to live. Often I hear people say 'it sure beats the other option' and while I personally agree, I don't see in one sense how you can know.

[i]Please people, if you find that you don't have any meaning, please go looking for some rather than choosing to kill youself. The point of this thread is to give people a search for purpose rather than to make them despair.[/i]
So Flood, what gives you meaning?
What gives you the will to live?
What are your goals in life and why?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JFKES No it wouldn't. It would just result in you dying. Let me repeat myself. Why continue to feed your existance?[/quote]Because that's the default way of existence. The fact that you're asking why we continue living just solidifies my argument. If living wasn't the default state of the mind then you wouldn't have to ask the question. You're making the mistake of thinking that we chose between death and life in the past. In reality, we exist solely through life and are given many choice. Death is one of them, one for which I've had no reason to consider. You're making this a false dichotomy between life and death, life is how we are by default, death is choice. I need a reason to chose death, I don't need any to stay alive.
