Life!!

Hades is the only person in the world who looks good covered in emo and his own blood.

 

[Ronny Shade]

That is probably true

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Your life is prescious to you because ultinmately it is all you have and will ever have. For others it is only as important as your relationship with them.

 

[CConn]

Your life is prescious to you because ultinmately it is all you have and will ever have.

That's kinda depressing.

 

[blind_fury]

That's why people come up with crap like an afterlife and reincarnation. They can't accept that this life is all they will ever know.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Calling it "crap" is so nice of you.

 

[CConn]

The thing is, the thought of non-existence really doesn't bother me in the slightest.

As long as it isn't pain, or loneliness or something bad like that, who cares?

 

[Addendum]

Well, when the only people who offer "proof of an afterlife" appear on the talk show circuit, why should anyone believe them?

And for those who don't have a reason to believe in a god-claim, we need something called proof. A book doesn't offer any, nor does some dude speaking to a congregation

Yes but non-existance also means your never going to laugh or smile again. Your never going to see another beautiful woman or another sunset. Your never going to see color or hear music.

Nothing but silent blackness for the rest of eternity.

No, it doesn't. If you don't exist, there's not even silent blackness. You'll never miss not laughing or smiling. You'll never even think of a woman again. It's not really scary in the slightest to me.

I think the miracle of pond scum evolving into human civilization is proof of intelligent design. so is the rareness of our strange planet in our galaxy.

An afterlife that goes on forever makes no sense however and only serves to comfort people who can't accept death. Why would God continue our consciousness for an eternity? What purpose would that serve?

 

[redmarvel]

I'm priceless!!!

Not only would my family and friends miss me terribly, but the Hype would miss me too.

So if you were about to be lobotomized to become a living vegetable you wouldn't fear losing your memories and ability to experience life/interaction?

 

[CConn]

So if you were about to be lobotomized to become a living vegetable you wouldn't fear losing your memories and ability to experience life/interaction?

Well, of course. I'd still be alive. I'd still very much exist. We're talking about complete non-existence here, not just a inability to experience existence.

 

[blind_fury]

The point is you fear losing what you have now. It doesn't matter that your ability to care will be gone.

I don't fear losing what I have now. I fear pain and unhappiness. If there is none of that, I have no fear.

 

[DBella]

To expect to go through life without experiencing pain and unhappiness is being very unrealistic. We do not live in a fairy tale world. O wait... even in fairy tales there's pain and unhappiness. It's part of the package we call LIFE. And to be human. Only robots won't feel or experience pain and unhappiness. Life is like a roller coaster ride; there'll be ups and downs and bumps along the way.

 

[CConn]

But I was talking about death and non-existence, not life.

 

[ang_hulk]

although i choose the third one Id risk my life in a moment for my best friend and my girl friend.

 

[blind_fury]

I don't fear losing what I have now. I fear pain and unhappiness. If there is none of that, I have no fear.

So what about losing the good aspects of existance. You don't only lose a few of them, you lose THEM ALL!!!

FOREVER!!!!

 

[JStorm]

I would die before I saw my brother go through pain.

FOREVER!!!!

But if I don't exist to care, it doesn't matter to me. At all.

And stop talking about forever. There is no forever in non-existence. There's no sense of time, there's no thought, or being, there's nothing.

 

[blind_fury]

the cup is half empty is it?

 

[CyberFaust]

priceless

 

[Morg]

You know how we often hear this:
"Life is precious". Is it really? (Anyone who posts here and say this is an "emo" thread, I'm gonna kick your arse!! ) Are all human life equal? Or is the value of one Life greater than another? Who puts value in our Life? Society or us, as individuals?

I'd like to know what do you think the value of your Life is and why do you put such a value to your Life. What are the criterias for your appraisal?

Thank you for your time.

Sorry Bella, but rapist, murderers and pervs are not precious but a waste of life

as for my life I don't, I care for other people lives more then my own
