Poll: A worthwhile life.

[TheButteryGoodness]

I was just watching an episode of Red dwarf (for those of who haven't heard of it, it is an English sci fi/ comedey series) where the crew were put on trial and asked if they had lived a worth while life, and to make it fair the judge was themselves (or rather a robot who would take on their identity to judge them fairly but thats beside the point)

This got me thinking, lots of people, myself included, have high ideals that they wish to live by, but offten don't. So I ask you, Do you feel you live a worth while life?

Note: Since this is by your standards, "worthwhile" can mean anything from great artist to simply embracing life, whatever YOU feel defines it.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I'm productive, I'm reasonably happy, I'm making progress in personal and professional matters... Yeah, I'd say my life is worthwhile. I don't have any grand goals I feel I need to strive for in order to give my life meaning. As long as I'm satisfied with the way things are progressing without getting complacent, I'm doing alright by myself.

You said you were watching Red Dwarf. I now love you.
I remember watching that episode and thinking a similar thing.

On topic: I'd say I don't live a worthwhile life (when I'm feeling depressed).
I think a worthwhile life is one that has no negative impact on humanity as a whole. Positive impact is a bonus.

I like my time at the University, I got a great Girlfriend, could have a better job, but i'm not starving. have good friends, did whatever seemed to be a fun idea, yup life's good

There are time when the answer is yes and time when it is not. Now I'm stuck in the middle. A month ago the answer would be definitely.

If i was to judge myself I wouldn't be happy unless I was acting. Unfortunately. I'm not acting. I'm studying law...

Ta for depressing me there...

 

[JokerCrowe]

I need to have a girlfriend before my life is worth it.

Or at least have sex...

Well then at least we're together in this. Now who wants to play Dungeons and dragons for Eternity!

 

[SextusMaximus]

Not yet, I'm far too young to have made any impact on anyone. Hopefully I will in the future, though.

dosent really matter if youv made an impact on other peopls lives, as long as youv always done what you deem the right thing in your life.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Not even remotely.

I have practically 0 friends around me, I spend pretty much my entire day online or at work. I'd love to go out and do fun stuff with people like me; play all kinds of games, watch movies, just chat and be silly with, just the things friends do with each other. I'm not doing any of that. Some might think I'm an anti-social person, as I never do anything social, but I'm not, I'm social as hell. There just aren't any people around me to socialize with.

It doesn't help either that I'm 19 years old and haven't done anything else than finishing high school. That was 3 years ago and I don't consider it being much of an achievement, as I have done nothing for it, I just got it.

I've tried to do something with my life though. I tried getting a Major in Bio-Informatics; I failed due to math problems. After that I tried a Major in Journalism; I failed that due to jock-induced depression.

Right now I'm working in a supermarket, about 20-30 hours a week. It's mind-numbing and absolutely terrible, I can't imagine keeping this up for much longer. But after failing college twice I am left without goals, having no idea what my skills are, what my talents are, what I want to do with my future.

And there's the pain as well. During all this I kept a single dream alive; to meet the girl of my dreams. And of course I met her. Heck, she's way more than the girl of my dreams, I never imagined someone like her existing. So I'm sitting here, terribly in love (and she knows it), and guess what; she's unreachable! She'll hook up with a nice guy who can offer her what I can't sooner or later before I can get the chance of offering her just that, I'm sure of it. But I'm still convinced of her being 'The One', no matter how hopeless I am now. I'll wait, faithfully, something good might happen, but good gods does it hurt.

So yeah, my life isn't worthwhile at all. I'm not doing the things I want to do, I'm not living up to anything and I'm not being with the people I want to be with. Go go life!

 

[JanatUrlich]

Yeah man. I get laid often enough and I enjoy myself

 

[Sebenko]

Nah, I feel like I'm still gearing up go really kick off in life.

 

[Junkle]

I am right now, but I know I can do better. Basically I just want to finish High School at this point, college should be much better.

 

[Private Custard]

Simple fact, I don't really care if I'm here or not.

I have brief glimmers of a worthwhile life, like diamonds in a mine full of coal. Guess that doesn't make for much worth when added up though!

 

[Jedoro]

I live my life by my standards, so yes, I consider it "worthwhile." It's not amazing, not great- hell, some might not even call it good, but I like it, and that's what matters.

 

[Sun Flash]

I'm (relatively) productive, got a part time job, pay my way, sticking in school, getting ready to go on to university, single and happy.

So yeah, I get by and I enjoy it.

 

[klaynexas3]

my life is a waist, i've spent it wallowing in shit, nobody cares about me, the world would be better off if i was dead, and i'm too much of a pussy to do the world that favor, so i feel bad about that, i'm fucked.

 

[slipknot4]

I'm 15, i go to school and i hate everyone that get's within my line of sight, no, I don't live a worthy life.
