Why MUST we live, since anyway we are going to die?
« on: January 23, 2010, 07:05:28 am »
Leaving aside religious views, I expect an honest and sincere answer, preferably from personal experience.To note: I have asked, why MUST we live, not why DO we live.

Why do you think we must live?


I asked this question in Yahoo Answers and Speaking24. Let’s see where we get the best answers!


P.S. It's not a debate, just asking for your views. And am not asking anyone to die either.  :P

well as a human, i always feel curious about pretty much everything that i do not know of
if i die, what will i be missing? is it good things? i dont want to miss it! is it bad things? how bad is it, lemme get a taste of it!
whether you believe in afterlife or you don't, at the end of the die we all agree that after we die, we will be in a permanent stage, be it eternal death or eternal life, so life is just a short thing, we just want to get the maximum taste out of it
Nothing is worse than being surrounded by people and yet you still feel lonely

I believe there's a purpose for anything exsisting in life!! Regarding your question...why must we live, since anyway we are going to die?!
There are plenty of things out in this life we should experience...whether it's sweet or bitter...these things what makes our living a worth while journey! Living gives you this opportunity after your death to compare both worlds..which one is better than the other and this i guess depends on what u have done to this world...I always do my best to enjoy as much as i can in this life..so if i leave it i have no regrets for missing anything in it  ;)

We are all just a ripple in nothing.

Make as much of nothing as you can

I am living in order to fulfill a certain purpose of mine - Money, Power, Fame and Popularity! This is why I MUST live.

Everybody has a purpose whether they realize it or not. And everything that has a beginning has an end.

* I am not being philosophical here! :D Just the truth! ;D *

Cheers!

Why do you play a game?? Its gonna end sometime..
You play it for the fun of it..
Well hypothetically considering life like a huge game.. we play it for the fun, drama, prosperity, fame and all..
People have diff objectives in life and our life is like a huge clock ticking down to the end point..
We must complete our objectives before it..
And if you die happy..you win the game..
Sad.. you lose..

Okay.. lol.. and my own view.. i live life... cos i dont wanna die now.. got a few things to do before my clock ticks down..  :)

I believe we live inspite knowing we ar dying its natural cycle everything has end
but we live a life to fullfill our aims ,dreams ,experience  .everyone has target in his life
life is beautifull if u hav everything and ur happy but despite dat it is boring if u don't work hard 4 wat u want .
it is the nature of human that they always want more to gain and dats why they want to live more

Life's a blast. Enjoy it till it lasts. ;)

Don't say sh*t like: "Life's a b*tch, *censored* it."

Live a long and healthy life full of enjoyment. :]

just my 2 cents.
