What's the point of your life?
Why do you live?
I live to make other people happy. It makes me complete to make someone else laugh or smile.
I live because I want to prove to myself that good people can make it in this world. We don't have to resort to drugs or dirty deeds to succeed. It's not all about exams either. It's about giving it your all and having the passion to do something that gets you places.
That's my drive, that's why I live.
What about you?

In the long term? I live because I want to be successful. I want to accomplish my dreams before I die, and I want to show all those people who doubted me that I can accomplish more than they ever dreamed I could.
In the short term, I want to make my girlfriend happy and see her smile.

I live because I can think in life.
Thoughts and memory are processed by the cells in our brain. Once we die there are no more thoughts.
Even if there is an afterlife, it certainly wouldn't involve thinking.
And I value my ability to think.

That made me think a lot. I will make sure to discuss this idea with my philosophy teacher, it certainly is conclusive.
Thoughts are processed by brain cells.
Once one dies, cells die as well.
Therefore, once you die you don't think.
This be expanded a bit more with Descartes, "I think, therefore I am".
->If you stopped thinking, you would stop 'being'.
Therefore, once you die, you stop being. Nothing else happens.

The only remaining argument against this is the existence of the supernatural.
Which I firmly cannot believe even if I want to.
I honestly WISH there was a heaven and hell. I'll take hell if it means I can continue to think. I love imagining things, theorizing things, reasoning things.

Pretty much this.
Though Adelynn's happiness could possibly be the number 1 reason.

I live cause I love people. I absolutely love them. I love smiles, laughs, hugs, holding hands, cuddling, talking, everything happy that can happen.... Its great! I love to make people happy. I hate it when someone is down, I try to do all I can to make them feel better. My friends are awesome, life would suck without them, and although you guys are behind a screen, I love interacting with you to!
And I understand life sucks, people suck, but the thing is, if I can help someone escape that, even for a moment, just make them be in that moment of being happy, then I feel accomplished.
And of course, I hope to find someone really special someday.....

*Hugs*

I live because I don't want to cease to exist ._.
If I die and the people I know die, it'd be like I was never here in the first place.
And not existing doesn't appeal to me, even more so than getting old or sick.
I also live because there're some goals and wishes I haven't seen completed yet so even if I did die, I wouldn't be satisfied.

It's not about the point.
It's about finding the point.
Random101: So it is about the point :lol:

:ran_sanders::Forget that... there are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.
:ran_ronald::What're you talking about?

I live to read! Gotta find out the ending of the series of books I love. <3 Which never ends, because I love too many books. But seriously, I would be really mad if I died without getting to know the ending of my books. D: *biggest book nerd ever* That and it'd make my mom sad if I ceased to exist. :(
