Okay to start off, I'm interested in what people think the point of life is. I'm sure this thread has been made a thousand times, but meh.

Lately with me, I've been questioning the point of life constantly. And honestly, I can't think of any reason good enough as to why I'm here, why other people are here. Every reason just ultimatly seems pointless. There are hundreds of theorys out there, but which one to believe? If any.

It's quite difficult for me to put how I feel/think into words, so Escapees, what do you think?

EDIT: I'm hoping to keep the religious discussion to a minimum. I don't want any hate or such things going around.

I think life is what you make of it. You weren't born with a set purpose, And in most cases you are here because your mother and father did something PG-13+

Life is longest thing we experience, It isn't fair, And it certainly isn't easy, but it doesn't mean it can't be fun.

As humans we like to strive towards goals, Be that finding that special someone, Settling down and procreating, A financial goal, or even a physical goal - Set something to strive for, and set the bar high.

Kid, Go out there and make the most of every second. Millions sit and wish, Hundreds will actually go and do something about it.

I believe the point of life is to find a point yourself. Sure, others can help you, and that's really what is happening through this thread, but in the end, one has to define their reason to live for themselves.

As for me, I basically try and make anyone that I can happy, while still not compromising my own happiness. I've been doing this for a couple months now, and I've never been happier. ^_^

I dont think there is a point. I think existance just is something that exists. What point could we have? Will it matter in a 100 years? 1000? A billion? For all we know, 100 earths may have happened similar to us and fallen, either before us, or concurrent in some far off place.

That's more or less where my train of thought regarding the matter always ends.

How about this: The point of existing is to overcome the self
Or the cop-out: life is meaningless, and everything you do is trivial in the grand scheme of things.

I now know the point of Kinect! No hands! EDIT: Gah, ninja'd!

OT: Uh... Like it's been said, there is no point to "life." Hell, I'm here to have fun and enjoy myself. I'm also here for other reasons, but you Earthlings guys wouldn't understand.

Im just gonna leave my motto here.

"If your asking for the meaning of life, than you obviously haven't been living."

OT: Life is pointless unless you give your life a point.

Finding that point in life may even be that point.

if there's a higher power then our lives are a test until we reach an afterlife of for our creator's own amusement
and if we are all just a bunch of primates randomly created on a useless hunk of rock flying through space for no real reason just live it up before you fade out of existence.

You gotta tell me how you do that.
Well, Bayonetta did have "one-hand play" mode.
AHH! Are you serious?! Well, at least they know their audience.

ALL SHE DOES IS PRESS THE SAME BUTTON ALL THE TIME!

How is that good game design?

Oh well, I guess "decent control-scheme" wasn't their top priority with this
