So What Is Life?
I've been contemplating life recently and i was thinking. What are we here for? What is our purpose? Do we have a purpose? I dunno i just thought it was a really interesting conversation so post me your views.
If I turn my back I'm defenceless, and to go blindly seems senseless.
Our dreams, goals, desire's and so on are what drives us everyday. I could only conclude that life is one big 'ol rpg and everyone's thier own main character.
Making badges.
Life.. by Marshall Mathers
What is life?
Life is like a big obstacle
put in front of your optical to slow you down
And everytime you think you gotten past it
it's gonna come back around and tackle you to the damn ground
What are friends?
Friends are people that you think are your friends
But they really your enemies, with secret indentities
and disguises, to hide they true colors
So just when you think you close enough to be brothers
they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin
What is money?
Money is what makes a man act funny
Money is the root of all evil
Money'll make them same friends come back around
swearing that they was always down
What is life?
I'm tired of life

Saying its like an rpg is a good, yet geeky way to look at life. Your growing up (leveling) and learning different skills (abilities), but dont go trying to attack others!Our dreams, goals, desire's and so on are what drives us everyday. I could only conclude that life is one big 'ol rpg and everyone's thier own main character.
We're here to live, whatever that means.
What is "Life"?
EDIT: n.nU now for real
Life is a being
eternal like death
strugging for us and our souls
and we walk in both
fighting for our dreams
knowing we could loose
but we still try
life is short, but still
it deserves a real price
from us

My job here on earth is to do the best I can.
Life is something I made up, none of you or anything is actually there, Im just in some sort of coma or something.
This is one of those debates that makes me really confused, the more i think about it the more i feel frustrated but i believe more in the science that there was some reaction and we were created instead of religious beliefs of life.
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get.
Didn't we already have a thread like this?
Life for me is just life. I don't think much about it, i just live it the best way i can and see what happens.:rolleyes2
I know i'm put on this earth to make badges..It's my destiny!

Life is what you choose to make it.
I used to hate the third Matrix movie, but I now appreciate the one line that at one time ruined the whole series for me. When Mr. Smith has almost defeated Neo he asks,
"Why do you persist Mr. Anderson?"
The biggest line of the movie and philosophy of the Matrix is stated. Neo says,
" Because I choose to."
Personality psychologists such as personal construct theorists would say we all construct our own unique meaning...
Therefoe, like an RPG, which I thought was a cool analogy. We select which characters we will like to be. Like in Final Fantasy I, we can choose our team.
However, some psychologists would argue that environment and experiences helps create our constructs/meanings. So we are not completely independent. We rely on eachother and everyone/thing is interelated. Yet, you can see that some people lack the resources to do what they want. They cannot self actualize because of their environment. Really, that is the case in many instances, and that seems to be why so many people live lives with doubts. They are not making choices they want to make either because they don't have the constructs to do so or it is their fault for choosing poorly.
Me, I choose to make music and my constructs/beliefs are structured mostly off of music/culture. That is to say, my beliefs have been influenced by the music I listen too and the ideas I've absorbed throught it. Though of course that's not the only place I get them.
Overall, life is very complex, if you want to make it that way. I suppose you could be a fisherman and get as much purpose from that as being the President of the U.S. It all depends on perspective and choice.. Do you choose to be a fisherman on the coast which entails certain ethics and constructs/beliefs? or do you choose to be the next President of the U.S. which would also encompass certain beliefs. Of course you have to make all the decisions and actions to get to whatever position you belive worthy...
So summing it up, perhaps life is the choices we make as a result of conscious decisions.

Goals and ambitions are things created by people to try and feel like they have some sort of purpose, when all life is meaningless. Therefore, people strive to be happy, and ignore this fact. If a rock is thrown on top of an ant, it will smother it, but the ant will be able to crawl out from beneath it.
