I’m not depressed (at the moment, well maybe a little), just feeling philosophical.

Edit: the idea of this came to me because I was pondering why people fight so hard to beat diseases and live a few more years. What are they planning to do? Why exert effort just to be here longer when you don’t have a reason?

Just why?

    Purpose? Point? You make it sound like it’s something inherently positive. Can you give me an example where it could be inherently positive? Because the purposes I can think of are all negative to me since I have goals of my own and any purpose in life would stand in the way of that. I don’t want to be like a spoon (so humans can eat more easily) or a cat (To be human pets), so I’m really glad to have no point or purpose in life, as that means I am the master of my own destiny.

    I have goals in life I want to achieve. That’s why I want to live longer. And if people can help me achieve my goals, that’s all the better.

    If you want to find purpose in life, then I’m sure you can find another person in life that can give you one.
