What Do You Live For?

I live because I know somewhere down the road there is some sort of happiness that is worth living for. May not be able to see it now or anytime soon but there is happiness waiting for us, we just have to find it.

I make every effort I can to keep a level head in response to whatever life throws at me. I figure eventually my efforts will pay off and, despite my many flaws, I'll end up exactly where I want to be in life. While I'm on my way there, though, I'll focus on myself and those that actually care enough to give me the time of day.


Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.

This is a pretty tough question, and believe it or not, I've asked myself it many times only to ponder even more about what my accomplishments are, and what I want to accomplish. For many years I have thought about why life is worth living and makes it worth living, and the answer comes down to one word. Happiness. I have figured out that changing someones life, or even just cheering them up makes it all worth while. You get that feeling and you know that they are happier than they were before because of you.

 

 

There is some unprecedented feeling that I get when I make people feel better. It's hard to explain, but it just feels....right. Life is to large to go at alone, so why not have people by your side? Why not care for each other? For example, today I was able to sway someone from giving up on a massive project that they were going to let go of because they didn't feel motivated enough. I gave them encouragement, motivation, and someone to lean on. Maybe it's just me, but that is what makes life worth living.

 

 

So, to answer your question, life can be a cold and cruel place. I feel like it is my duty to help anyone I can in achieving their dreams. This not only makes me feel good inside, but I make new friends and opportunities can open up because of your actions.

Hmmm this is a tough, but simple question... I think I live to make an impression. Whether it be on someone’s life, helping a situation, or just something to be remembered by. I’ve always liked helping people out, especially when it comes to something I’m good at :P

Awesomeness = at least 20% Cooler.

I live to be awesome.

 

Not just saying that. If I work with the team that discovers some huge scientific breakthrough, that'll be awesome. If I'm the main creative force behind a bestselling game, that'll be awesome. If have a wife and kids who loves me, that'll be awesome. If my friends know me as the guy who everybody likes, that'll be awesome.

I don't feel the need to mark my existence onto the world, I only want to inspire more individuals to mark them for me.

Eh, I'm not sure. It's kind of a bit unsettling looking into myself and realizing that there really isn't a defined goal or purpose I'm looking for here as I go about my life. I just sort of... drift along, I guess. I could say the meaning of my life is the pursuit of happiness but, really, what is that but subjective thinking?

 

I live to find my meaning, my purpose. And once that's figured out? I'll fulfill it. Not the most intricate explanation ever.

 

Ooh, and I'd like to fall in love because I'm a total romantic but that's just the icing on the proverbial cake, hm?


keep it real .

I live for the heck of it

 

Never had any goal set in mind, I just walk my life the way I'll surely enjoy it. Won't simply abide to the rules, will only do so if they works in my favor. Won't bind myself in any kind of relationship, I just want to taste the world as much as I can before Death arrives, not being put down by some saggy mare.

 

Disregard marriage, acquire happiness! Posted ImagePosted Image

What do I live for... I tough question if I even did read one. I guess it would be to make someone smile. To make someone share a positive outlook on life with me. Perhaps What I really live for is companionship, but that's still too Vague. I am thinking too much before bed. I live for people, the good, and the bad. I hope that's coherent enough, I am a bit on the falling asleep side.

I have a dream.

To have the happy family I've always wanted (: .

Since I wasn't born into that, I realized I'd have to make one myself.

I live for the man I love and wish to start my family with,

I go to school to get an education to support my family.

And so on :)

I live for my future,

husband and children ~

I'm actually not entirely sure why I live, to be honest... However, there are some significant things that are definitely a part of my will to live:

  • Curiosity: I want to learn and have fun doing it. I also have no idea what the future holds (although it looks quite grim at the moment).
  • Technology: I absolutely love it. even in some of the most primitive applications, the concepts behind them were absolutely ingenious. Take for example the invention of the gear. Really simple concept, but revolutionary.
  • I want to see some change in the system. Quite simply I don't think Western civilization is being progressive enough. To me people seem to be too self-focused and uninspired. I want to take part in changing such a complacent mentality.
  • Creation, new things. I love to breathe life into my creations, which is why I'm currently reading up about robotics.

I live to become a super hero. I want to save the city form horror and total destruction and brighten up days. I want to have a cape and a super hero name.

 

I am super.

I don't really want to die, despite my past history of suicide attempts and suicidal thoughts due to crippling depression brought on by Borderline Personality Disorder?

 

I have no idea, to be perfectly honest. I've never really had any hopes or dreams of any real note. Oh, some generic ideas about being happy, finding love maybe, or just enjoying some of the things I enjoy, but nothing substantial that I can think of. I mean, I suppose I am curious as to just how far and fast technology will develop...I like the idea of finding out whether we as a species will succeed in making a mark on the galaxy, or whether we'll destroy ourselves...and I do enjoy helping others when I can, making them happy and so on.

 

But it's not as if I'm setting out for an important career or a lifelong goal or dream. I don't even know what I want to do with my life. The program I'm in at college is nothing more than a quick way for me to get a stable, reliable job that can get me out of my parent's house and living on my own so I can be fully independent. Whether I want to make a twenty, thirty, forty year career out of working in the field or not, I frankly have no clue. Personally I'd prefer to be a full time student on a regular basis, studying all kinds of different subjects, but that's not exactly doable without some sort of real, quality income. (Or winning the lottery. Pfah.)

 

As someone who doesn't believe in any sort of afterlife, I feel we cease to exist when we die. So while my life has been rather painful on an emotional level, and there are plenty of times where I've been driven to suicidal attempts over just how hard it is to deal with, I think it's safe to say I don't actually want to die or anything. I do want to live...but the real question is: am I really living, the way I am now? Or do I merely exist, drifting along in a pointlessly short life that will have no effect on anything? Does it even matter if I have an effect on anything? Does ANYTHING matter at all?

 

These are questions I still can't answer and probably never will be able to.
