On the subject of life and death

I've been thinking lately about death. I've grown into a state of depression over the subject.

Before we were born into life, we did not have a concept of time because we did not have brains to acknowledge time. There wasn't complete darkness or anything. As we grow older and develope our brains have now understood this and it's own consciousness.

Is this what it will be like after death?
No complete darkness, no heaven, no hell, no reincarnation, nothing.
We will die and our brains will stop working and that will be the end of it.

It's an incredibly scary thought, but fear is just a primitive emotion in response to a human's environment to flee a situation for survival.

I just see no reason for going on.
Do I get a high paying job, so I can be happy? But happyness itself is just another emotion. When a human's environment and surroundings are suitable they take joy in these things and have a desire to keep them, much like loved ones.

So my sole purpose in life is to just pass on my genetic material to the next generation to form a more perfect species. I will die and there will be no concept of time. Life just seems so incredibly pointless and I have no desire to continue it.

A hook-nosed Kike, you say?

Leave or bare bosoms. Since the appropriate image boards are nonfunctional, the only feasable option appears to be GETTING THE FUCK OUT.

There much greater thing in life.

whoop did i say that

I say get the best emotions you can before you lose all emotions. Also, try to make it as long as possible (as in live as long as possible). I see no point in doing something for the future after you, for you will be gone with after you die, so who cares what is left? But if everyone thought that way, next generation would be screwed. Anyway, long story short, enjoy life and accept he fact it will end.

>>1 , true, but also, technically you dont die. Your cells die, your brain die, your organs die, YES. But youre made of atoms. Atoms cannot die. Your atoms disperse and become part of other molecules, other enviroments, who knows if some part of your atoms become part of a plant molecule some day, that it is eatern by some cow (does cow eat plants?), that it is eaten by a little girl, and you become part of this little girl? would you be alive? would you be "part" of this little girl thoughts? arent you, in this moment, made of millions of atoms who were part of other systems?

When you die. Your are the Spirite of life.

When you're dead, you're dead. Although your particles may still exist, you won't be concious. It'll be just the same as before you were born.

Thats a lame idiology but whatever.

Before you look for new answers, review the answers you already have.

You exist. So obviously you should do something.

The fact that you don't know what you are with any certainty. Yes we are a brain/computer, but why aren't we just a soulless chain reaction? how do we percieve? Therefore don't give up hope yet, there is something going on, we just don't know what it is.

I could go on and ponder science, existence and sentience etc.. There isn't much point unless you want to be more specific. Don't fret over unknowns before you've even considerred the obvious and since you exist you might aswell do something.

Yes, but now I know life.

>>1 Don't get yourself worked up about it. I don't think I was ever afraid of death. I don't remember being scared when I was young, as most kids aren't. But when I got older, no fear of it really developed. I suppose I'm lucky to be in such a state of peace about the whole thing.
I think the best thing to do is just let it be. NOBODY knows what happens after death, and worrying yourself over it will only get you closer to it. Just forget about it if it's really getting to you, give yourself a break. Just enjoy your life while you're around, and whatever happens, happens. Simple as that.
There's nothing you can do about it, so just try to relax about the whole thing. I guess it's one of those things that you just have to have faith in the fact that you'll be all right.
Think about it, why do people still follow these ancient religions. Yes, a lot of them have been forced upon children who've grown up with it as a way of life, but in this day and age people can pick and choose what to believe in, pretty much not matter which religion they come from in their background.
People choose to believe in certain things because people NEED something to believe in. Something to rely on when all else fails. Something to help them keep going without worrying themselves over all of the incredible, complicated and incomprehensible things that there are in this world. People go mad over thinking about these things, which is why most people have to just find something to believe in, and leave it at that. There's too much in life to think about, and we're all very small compared to everything around us. You have to let go of these sort of things, because it's only when you learn to, that you can really enjoy life.
It's like a magic trick; it's astounding, awe inspiring, and gives you a real sense of true magic. But when you know how it all works.. the magic dies, doesn't it? Like when you find out that Santa Claus doesn't really exist. Christmas can still be a wonderful and fun-filled time of year, but it's never quite like it was when you were little, and there was real magic in the world.
If you analyse things too much, you lose the magic and beauty of it all. Instead of looking at things philosophically, or scientifically, I recommend just taking things for what they are. Don't try to figure out what makes a sunset beautiful, just enjoy it while you can. You'll have a much greater life that way.
I'm not particularly religious, and I do have an interest in philosophy and science. And I've found that things are usually the best they can be when you don't know too much about them. They say ignorance is bliss, and I suppose, that's one of the truest things in this world. When you don't know how, you can call it magic, or even a miracle. And to be honest, I'd rather have a world of magic and miracles, full of the excitement that fills a child on Christmas morning, than a boring, empty world, where you know how and why, but by knowing that, it's no longer beautiful.

tl;dr

Read >>15. Better written, sharp, to the point. Doesn't waste your time or insult your intelligence. >>15 is clearly superior.

>>18 Oh yeah, "The fact that you don't know what you are with any certainty." That's clearly superior. That makes perfect sense. Plus, you fukken read it all, so wtf? Also, I think >>17 is clearly superior, because not only does it MAKE SENSE, but it also goes into detail. You think a short little thing is going to inspire this guy and put his mind at ease. Why not just tell him, "don't worry, everything will be fine" and leave it at that? Yeah, that's REALLY consoling the guy and giving him some peace of mind and good advice. Fucker. >>17 is more in-depth dipshit. Reading something longer will really instill the values and ideas, in fact, >>15 doesn't even HAVE ANY IDEAS, but >>17 gives you something to think about. It's actually memorable, whereas >>15, well, I just re-read it, and I can't really remember anything except they said "you're here so why not do something" WOOOOOW, HOW DEEP. Jesus fucking Christ, man.

>>19 It's nice to see what I wrote means something to someone at least. =D

kill yourself, you peice of shit.

So what if there's no greater purpose to it? Life is what YOU make of it. I decided to become a hedonist. You decided to be miserable. I'll be dancing on your grave when you kill yourself.
