Just now this, Nikkou-chan. Just because life seems depressing now, does not mean that it will always remain so, and that peoploe can help overcome their flaws by trying. The more you talk to people, the easier it gets. (I should know...I had to undergo classes on speaking to people thrice.)

I had to take speech therapy back in gradeschool. Because of a chronic sicknesses my hearing was skewed when I was little and I never learned certain sounds correctly.

The point of living is just that, to live. There is no other option for death is never a choice. If you need a goal, strive for immortality, its what helps keep me functioning. I don't care if life has no point, so long as it never ends.

I would disagree, death is a choice, just one of the worst ones possible.

Nah, I saw the results of a friend of mine choosing that once, trust me, its never a choice. The poor guys family fell apart thanks to that, as if the death wasn't bad enough.

But what happens if the goal is attained?


Life is a beautiful mistake. As Smith said, 'it is without meaning or purpose.' And that without purpose or meaning doesn't really need to exsist. But here we are discussing the subject because of our exsistance with higher thinking.

What a bother.

It has been said that "The purpose of life is to understand the universe." and "Once the nature of the Universe is discovered it changes into something even more bizarre."

You are the one who gives purpose to your own life, it's not written anywhere.

It's written in the BIBLE!

Heard that before. Only it doesn't seem to mesh with my personal experiences.

They said "always" remain so. Have you lived forever to see the end of always? Thought so. You don't need to be religious to have faith in a brighter future. Good things come to he who waits and whatnot.
