God created eternal life for us. You will live forever, but it won't be on Earth. It'll be in heaven. |

I know what you mean. It is a harsh realization. Just use this realization for your own good.
Live every day like it is your last and appreciate all of the things you have here and now.
We don't know what will happen. That is why religion helps certain people by beliving that they will go to Heaven etc.
But really....we dont know.....and yes...that is very scary. |

You have a chemical imbalance. Thinking about death constantly shows that you need help balancing your brain chemicals that control the will to live. You're extremely depressed.
NAMI - National Alliance for Mental Illness has lots of info about your condition, and can find a dr. for you and/or a therapist. www.nami.org.
You also need to figure out why you're here and what you're supposed to do with your life. Sign up at biblesforamerica.org and they will send you free information about what I believe is the purpose of life.
Don't do anything drastic until you get help, okay? There is more to life than you can see just now, so wait a few years until you've had a chance to explore life before you write it off.

Yea tell me about it! I think we all think about this from time to time. We all have a purpose in life and I don't think just trying to get a dream job and making lots of money is what lifes all about. It seems like thats what us humans are programmed to do, just join a rat race. You gotta dig deep into what you think your purpose may be. Good Luck! |

To be absolutely honest, I believe that the "point" to life, is to die.
Death is the main reason for life. If you don't live once, you do not die, if you do not die, then you were never living. Ancient egyptians used to believe that your death was the most important celebration of (ironically) your life.
But that is an old belief. In this generation, it is best to believe that life is all about the experiences you have, and the people you encounter during your lifetime.
Enjoy it to the best!!
And you only live once, so everything is worth trying :) |

The point is to do something to distract ourselves from thinking about death lol |

You better stop talking and get out there and enjoy your life your wasting your time. Have some children you may feel a little different.Do something to help change peoples lives,find religion,go places ,have some fun;if your thinking about death then you must not be doing to much to occupy your time,keep busy and put that death stuff in the back of your mind.......................................

well the point to life is just what you said:
work and love thats basically it nothing more.....but all i can say is live your life to fullest make sure that you have no regrets you only live once!
Edit: why would he need to go to a counsellor? Its a simple answer not to difficult?
i'm a christian so I was told to live for god, but i dont know what your religion is. But lifes basically, you work and you love then you die. |

May be this has something to do with your age. I have heard this from other people around your age, and actually I used to think that way when I was your age. Talk to a doctor or mature adult you can trust. |

Yes, we die but that's no reason why we shouldn't do the best we can when we are alive. e.g. would you rather be remembered by yr kids for achieving something great of just being the nicest person they know or would you rather they were ashamed of you for being a c**p father? (this is only one example) Yes at the end of things we die but your 18 - your a long way off that. Also think about the things that you like or enjoy - would you like to continue doing them or just give up all hope - end up homeless on the streets somewhere?
Just do the best you can in life. - a guy once said "i will only be passing this way once" - so why not do the very best you can? |

i know how you feel. ive been feeling this way the majority of my significant life. the point in life is that you get to have a taste of what you might have never. that its better to have one touch, one kiss, one smell than never knowing what its like. its about asking these sort of questions and living a life of mystery and moratality and facing the fact that you can be gone in any instant and that every second of your life should be lived as if it were the last because it is infact your last. there is more in life than what people think they know.. living is worth finding out.. worth discovering what the untold, the unknown is. |

Yeah, we're all going to die someday, so what's the problem? Go out and have as much fun as you can for, oh, i dont know, maybe the next 60 years? Relax....
To answer the initial question though, the point of life is to help others, to love, and to learn, not necesarilly in that order. |

I think there is a point in life where we suddenly understand that we are going to die. I remember a story of a young girl who with her parents was looking at thousands of photographs of soldiers taken during the US civil war. She remarked that those soldiers must be very old by now. Her parents told her softly that every single one of those soldiers was dead. She was astounded and didn't say another word for the rest of the day.
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell was an atheist but was honest enough to understand that purpose can only come from God. Without purpose, life can have no point and no meaning.
The idea of a pointless existence ought to drive us to God but for those who reject God, it drives them to invent "purposes" and pretend that they are real. But those invented "purposes" are really necessary to keep sane.
But if we admit that God might exist, then we can see that God must have put our need for purpose into our human nature in order to point us to seek Him. So I think our purpose is to seek God and to come to know God. Christians think that we do that by obeying God's command to love our neighbors for where love is, there God is also. |

Yes, but there's so much time between now and the end--you need to fill that time with things that are wonderful and exchillerating and make you feel like your time here on earth made a difference to those you come into contact with. |

Maybe you should go to a councelor who is trained in answering all your questions. |

You have to define the meaning life holds for you and give it meaning accordingly. You can aspire to marry raise kids and make them smarter, healthier, better adjusted or simply have more fun than you did as a kid.
You can aspire to be rich, work hard and then ponder how you can make life better and more fun for yourself and other through philanthropy, hedonism, generosity to friends, family and others or a combination of each.
You can choose a noble pursuit and dedicate your life to it such as teaching, social work, theology or science and take pleasure and joy in the note that you are benefiting others and the world thhrough your selfless devotion to service.
You give life meaning through the choices you make and in how you choose to live it.
Just remember that when you are old and on your deathbed you'll think what did I do with my life? Was it time well spent? Did I make a difference? Was I respected, loved or loathed for what chose to do in life? |
