What is the point of life to you?










View Results
Kinda serious poll actually. This is not asking the purpose of life in general, but what the purpose of life is to you. If you feel an option is missing then post below.

Like answers can be absorbed into another statement.
For example, if you are religious and feel that serving God is the most important thing, then option 5 or 9 would be the best choice as both fit that, but in different ways.

One option that might not fit is to discover the mysteries of life, but I think that 9 maybe would be a fit for it, just that it implies you don't just discover them but share them as well. Actually, #4 fits this very well I think.

Option 10 is for the wise guys who want to play video games but do other stuff too. So you can pick that 1 and say you bang girls and play video games.

What an awful list of options.

Dogs. Fun. Sex. My interests. Family. Work. Food. Mostly good days. Self improvement. Books. Knowledge. Travel. Good friends. Small circle. Etc.

I guess the option that would have fit you is to just live but with a reason?

I guess you would take issue with option 6 because it says no reason

but then again, your little list doesn't say what you think the point is tbh

what are those things to you? do you value them because they are fun, it is moral to do, you just do?

btw, just cause the option you would put doesn't exist doesn't make the whole list bad

There's so many things I want out of life, and I would say seeking those is the point... but I'm not capable of achieving any if those. They're all just a stupid fantasy, from a stupid pathetic loser, to make myself feel like life isn't totally hopeless. I was ready to kill myself a couple weeks ago, I had everything I needed, but kind of freaked myself out when I realized what I was doing.

to have extreme amounts of pleasure

Epicurus had the right idea. Although I'm not sure about the 'extreme' part. He was pretty insistent about the need for moderation in all good things. Addiction and overindulgence transcend pleasure and enter into the realm of suffering.

I voted for being more intelligent than others, tbh, but I stopped reading the options after that.

Good poll options though.
If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

Life has no point. Just do what makes you happy as long as it doesn't harm others.

To worship God.

So I guess to "be the most moral person I can be."

Why isn't "to get married and have children" on there? Isn't that the standard option? It's what I think is the point of life, at least.

This exactly. Even though I don't see it happening for me.

My ideal endgame for life is finding someone I can grow old with and starting a family. Don't have any extravagant goals. That's pretty much what I'm working towards.

See? Lots of people want to get married and have children. But somehow, you thought "work and have sex" was a better option. Who gives a fuck about work? It's just a means to an end.

I mean, that is what you will do for your wife when you marry. That is how you will have kids.

Life and the human experience is kind of cruelly funny, in a macabre sort of way. The absurdity of it all lends me to just try and enjoy the ride rather than keep trying to make any sense of it. I'll live as good a life as I can, which is to say that doesn't necessarily mean optimizing pleasure vs pain. I find a lot of pleasures are really just hedonistic escalators.

I think Aristotle had some really valid points on the topic of happiness. I'll just try and live as virtuously as I can as a daily exercise, rather than shoot for some arbitrary metric of success.
