Living. Blacking out.

Without death there would be no life.

We're just part of a cycle of the human race evolving into whatever direction it wants to go. Each time someone is born, genetics are passed on, and the species evolves and lives on. Our only job is to procreate and keep the human race going, that's our main purpose.

We're meant to die because if we didn't we couldn't evolve as a race.

But no worries, what time we have is ours. We just have to accept the fact that the reason we die is so our children can live a better life.

Actually if you think about it, we're expending our lives longer and longer every 10 years or so. They'll be a day where I'm sure it'll be common for a majority of the human race to live 100+ years no problem.

You just see that in Japan now.. the rest of the world is a little behind :)

Use the time the best you can. As you said you only have one life, and that's it.

Life sucks anyways. We have no purpose, no reason. Our only purpose is to consume. Anything we do or accomplish will be irrelevant once we die. We will be forgotten, all traces of our existence erased forever. (Don't believe me? How many people here actually know their great-great-grandparents?) The universe is enormous, and the things we think are important mean nothing. Our life means nothing. And our death means nothing. We are tiny ants in a forest. Our lives are not important in any way in the grand scheme of existence.

Moral of the story? All you have is you and now. Spend your life doing what you want, instead of worrying about dying.
 
man i have epiphanies like this all the time, you are like me, we both have huge fears of death. This is something im gonna have to look into getting counseling and shit on because this happens to me every few days, and im only 19. Maybe its because I don't want to die right now because i havent "lived" yet. Maybe it will change when i get older. Who knows. All i know is I like being on Earth right now and don't want to leave anytime soon.
 
ever see the movie, 'the thirteenth floor'?
it will *really* make you think about life.
 
It's a matrix............
There's another level of reality that most people are not aware of...

It's called pathological trance... As you've grown up, you created a model of beliefs that you assume is the world, but it is not...


So everything thing I know is a lie? Damn.
 
Yeah, everybody dies.

I think you need to listen to this song:

Don't mind the picture, but listen to the words - HERE'S TO LIFE! Also - Leonidt said it perfectly.

Yea. Usually when someone feels a certain way, they are not alone.

So I guess I found someone that feels the same way as I now.
 
THis is what i often think about. If there is such thing as reincarnation, or not. I would be content with just know that someone is living a life through their own eyes. I often think like if you are reincarnated as another person you obviously dont remember your past life. But you wont be missing out because other people are living their life, and seeing it through there own life. I know that doesnt make sense, but try to think about it.
 
I don't know why people are accusing you of smoking. The op is just trying to say that you only get one shot at living, so basically make an effort to do something worthwhile. Hence, I joined BHW :)
 
Really try to wrap your mind around this:

What if you were never born? Everything you have interacted with would never have happened. Now, think deeper, what if the earth were never created? Nothing as we know it would have happened. Now, the big one, if you can seriously grasp this, it's scary...

Imagine existence never happening. There would not "be" just empty space, I mean, if there was never even "space".... There just never was anything, and never was nothing. Everything in your life that you find important doesn't matter anymore.

When you start thinking like that, then nothing really does matter... it almost feels like you wouldn't mind if the world ended right now.


There is an insight into what goes on inside my head.
 
The first time you see someone younger than you die tragically ... you get two feelings appreciation and fear. Something clicks and you realize that at any given moment you can die in an assortment of fucked up ways. You realize that with each person that dies their dream, goals, and aspirations die with them, and it doesn't matter what you want in life because what you want isn't anymore important than an addict wanting for his next fix. It all seems so useless. Once it passes, you come to realization that you still gotta live. So say FUCK IT to whatever it was you were feeling and use it as motivation to get what you want that much faster.

Life Doesn't Have to Be A Bitch Before You Die... but you have to die one day.

Make sure that if you live long enough, that life is what you want so if you do die, that split second that you care before you cross over... doesn't even matter.
 
for anyone that doesnt believe in the afterlife....smoke some DMT!!

its produced in your brain at the moment of death....so smoking it simulates death effectively

they say the phrase "mind blowing" was invented to describe dmt
 
Yeah it is, but this is 21st century and I, for one, do not intend to die. We will have anti aguing cure and mind downloading possible in this century, so I am not scared+cloning if you really die someway. This is not pipe-dream, I've been researching this and it's true, unless world war happens or something, people of 21st century will have very interesting lives with tons of possibilities for you not to "black-out" of existance.

The other week I was watching this documentry (randomly popped up on a TV actually while I was eating) and it was about poverty in Eastern European countries. Nonetheless, this lady in her 70s was crying to the camera because she gets $10 as pansion and doesn't know what to do each month... get food or get medicine...
Great, man. I actually live in an Eastern European country and yes, pensions here are really low :(. But it's not that bad, you can always emigrate (i'm planning on doing it actually.)

I personally plan on living forever anyway, as soon as we reach The Singularity
Same here. Transhumanism FTW!
