Is there any point in life at any level, ie at the individual, species or all life level?
Personally i don&#39;t think there is one. I believe in evolution ie in my view life came from nothing and exists only because it tries to exist and perpetuate itself, this makes its hard to see any good reason to exist. Without a reason to exist, life doesn&#39;t seem to have any real value.
If life has no value or point why is killing other people wrong? Why is suicide a bad thing?
yes my project write up is boring & depressing and no i&#39;m not in a bell tower with a rifle.
There are many "points"; perpetuation of species, pursuit of happiness, to "make a contribution"-all that sappy crap.
It sounds trite, but it means everything to everybody (well, almost everybody).
Life has much meaning, on many levels, to many people.
Your conclusion about the value of life and the killing/suicide issue is, I would imagine, the one those who commit suicide or kill usually reach.
Glad to hear your doldrums are temporary.
All this because a paper is going badly?
You are leaning towards Existentialism and there is nothing wrong thinking about it. After existentialism became popular many people actually commited suicide because they thought there is no meaning to their life. In US people were exposed to existentialism through Sartre and Camus.
If you come to think, is it that the only reason why you are not killing people or committing suicide is because you think you might go to heaven and yours acts might be punished? Everyone knows thats BS.
Philosophy evolved into what is right and what is wrong. Laws are somewhere in between to benefit everyone. Murder is wrong, it was ever since. These principles were made laws. Unfortunately, they were not well translated by the "literate fools" and hence so many problems.
The whole point of Sartre was taken wrong by many to commit suicides. People never had their so called special meaning of their lives. They wished and always hoped. On exposure to existentialist thoughts their hopes turned into despair and they commited suicide.
Meaning of your life is what you make of it. Not what others make of it.
This is a great post. Life can be harsh, but is still precious.
I don&#39;t think there is a "point", but you DO have to fill in the time before you die somehow, so try to cram as much stuff as possible.
Start by getting drunk with some mates and having a good time.
