    Posted: 19 May 2007 at 2:24pm

In life most peoples goals are to become rich and they think that they'll achieve happiness through that, where as another group of people think that the gathering of knowledge is the greatest achievement a single person can accomplish in their life, and think the people who want money are dumb because in the end it amounts to nothing, well I've pretty much relized they're just as dumb as the greedy people... when you die it really doesnt matter how smart you where, or how rich you where, how much fun you had, or what you did in life... it doesnt matter at all because your dead and you cant keep any of the memories or possestions or any ot that knowledge when it comes down to the greatest thing you can do with your own life while your laying there on your death bed, is your happiness no matter how its achieved, no way of becomeing happy is any better then the other the only thing that really does matter was weather you where or you whernt, and even that, when you die is pointless... the goal of you life should be to become happy, but the age old question of "how can i not waste my life" has no answer. because there is no answer because no matter what you do will be completly pointless when you die. the scary thing about that philosophy is, that no one can be right or wrong, as long as they're doing what makes them happy they cant be put to fault, somone like charles manson is the same as mother terrissa, they're both just doing what made them feel better in life, and thats the thing that made them happy in a sence. so while other people see manson as a terrible man or terrissa an amazing woman, they're both just trying to achieve that happiness and while people dont agree with what he did, he had the same motivation she did, just a differant method of achieving it.

P.S. my internet has been down... I missed you guys!!!

That doesn't take away from its significance to people. It's not like everything has to have some divine influence to mean something to humanity.

its from a personal standpoint, did edison care that the lightbulb was still around after he died? no. did he care that he changed the world after he died? no. I'll agree that it does effect other people, but everything in the end will amount to nothing, when the world comes to and end, will any of the inventions or thoughts of great men, the impact of their lives, any of it make any differance? its all temporary and it's all meaningless in the long run. We cant change that, so we have to live with it, or die. No other options.

We are a species.  What we do is reproduce until we hit a critical mass or something, then we all die off and some other species takes over the world.  That's it.  Some people think they're special and unique, but then they die and it's over.  Everyone is just a result of genetics mixing and chemicals doing their thing.
Something unknown is doing we don't know what. That is what our knowledge amounts to. - Sir Arthur Eddington

And no I wasnt stoned/high when I wrote this... I just love philosophy, and with my personal beliefs this makes absolute sence, its a depressing thought that every thing we ever go through in this life is a waste and it wont last, but its completly true. Some people just have more trouble accepting it than others.

Uhh, I'm sure Edison cared whether his inventions were around after he died.. Most public figures wish to have a long lasting impact on the world.

So basically why waste your life doing anything? Should we just kill ourselves because nothing we do wil mean anything, and we're just going to die anyways?

So, you should start doing meth, it feels good, and in the end, who cares?

Exactly. And the extremely negative effects the addiction will have on your friends and family will mean nothing because they're going to die, too.

I know I want money because money=security. Also, who doesn't want to leave behind something they will be remembered for?
