What is the reason you wake up every morning?

I don't like sleeping, I enjoy being awake. 

What makes you want to be alive a week from now?

My best friend is back in town from her trip, my family is visiting, and I have deadlines before that point that I'm excited to finish.

What, if taken away, would render your life unbearable?

The loss of anybody in my immediate family, including my best friend.

What, if given to you, would render your life worth living?

A better wage.

Do you even value your own life?

Absolutely.

What is the reason you wake up every morning?

My boyfriend and the few other friends I have left.

What makes you want to be alive a week from now?

Same as above. Also fear of death. 

What, if taken away, would render your life unbearable?

Same as question 1.

What, if given to you, would render your life worth living?

An actual talent that meant anything.

Do you even value your own life?

No.

Overall, as far as myself goes and my own life on its own, there is no purpose to my existence. I could vanish tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost. I exist hopefully to make my boyfriend and my friends happy. To try and inspire passion in others. Beyond that, I'm not much use. My life is mostly hollow, days blend into each other, and I have no real power in this world.

I remember seeing the OP of this post before back when I first found the forums, that’s crazy. Sad they’ve been MIA since 2014.

Anyway…

What is the reason you wake up every morning?

Because I just do. It’s far easier to wake up every morning than it is not to. Path of least resistance and all that. Not waking up would mean missing out food, conversation, new experiences, music.

What makes you want to be alive a week from now?

Same things as the last post. Life and the experiences that come with it are too interesting to miss out on even if it sucks a lot of the time. Dying would suck too, and I don’t even know for certain what would happen in the afterlife. Easier to just stick to what I know, which is living.

What, if taken away, would render your life unbearable?

Antidepressants, pretty easy choice. Dreaming would be another. Family, friends.

What, if given to you, would render your life worth living?

Unlimited money to travel the world. An alternative reality where I’m lucky enough to live and be in an actual relationship with the person I used to be in love with. The perfect antidepressant with no side effects. The ability to lucid dream for the entirety of sleep with perfect recall when I wake up. I dunno there’s a lot of things.

Do you even value your own life?

Yeah but probably less than your average person.

I don't know if I believe in there being one. But if I were to have one, I'd say I'd want it to be working towards being happy and content with as little as possible.

• What makes you want to be alive a week from now?
  I mean nothing really. Got nothing going on but work. Not the most exciting thing.
• What, if taken away, would render your life unbearable?
  Hmm....A place to live I guess.
• What, if given to you, would render your life worth living?
  Things the universe doesn't plan on giving me lol.

  Nah it doesn't really matter.

Me too, except instead of being Rafa Stary, I’m being Snoopy Fan.

The meaning of life is the same for everyone.

How we conceive and conceptualize it for ourselves is a matter of preference and personality.

There are no actual contradictions, only seeming contradictions. 

Every single idea of the meaning of life is a manifestation, that is to say, an effect. 

It is not that every effect has a cause, it is that there is no difference between a cause and an effect, they are merely two ways of looking at the same process. 

As a process, cause and effect is an attribute, if you must, a law of the material creation. All causes and effects are sustained by That which underlies them. 

That is the meaning of life. 

Your mode, your point of view and your desires give rise to causes and effects, and these are the sources of your conception of the meaning of your life. 

The point is, you have a meaning of life. 

The meaning of your life could even be to deny that life has a meaning, if such is your inclination. 

But you are compelled by both the laws governing the material creation and the Transcendent Will to have a meaning and to have your work. 

That IS the meaning, and everything you might go and do, or desire to do is included in that. 

The possibilities for manifestation in the world are endless. 

There's room for everybody. 

There is literally no end to what you might seek to do.

So, what is MY meaning of life, after all wasn't that the question? 

Again, my meaning is your meaning, is everyone's meaning. 

My manifestation isn't so grandiose. I make art. I have a couple hobbies. I try to play a positive role. There's some traveling I want to do, and some studies I take very seriously. 

If I accomplish a decent amount of all that, then this life will not have been wasted, as far as I'm concerned.
