    What is true: There is no meanings for anything. Nothing has more value over anything else. There is no value measurable. etc.

    How I live: Each person's life should be as good as it possibly can be, and I live to help others and myself, purely because it's how I am anyway, and living my life like the way I see life would result in me sitting, unmoving.

    Your turn(s)

    There is a meaning for everything .
    Not all things are equal .
    Value is well measured in many ways .
    The world is screwed up : too much greed and selfishness .
    Live today and forget about tomorrow as tomorrow might never comes .

    I have a few philosphies about life.

    Live and let live, unless it or they affect you.


    "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

    Charles R. Swindoll


    β€œTo love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

    Life

    Some people might say life sucks
    or life is full of shit
    While other people say life is beautiful
    or life is full of surprises
    I must say, I agree with all those
    Life is whatever you think of it..and everything you think of it
    Life is what you make it of it and what you say of it.

    Life is about sadness
    Life is about happiness
    Life is about pain
    Life is miserable
    Life is about loss
    Life is about smiling
    Life is about crying
    Life is about love
    Life is about laughter
    Life is about learning from your mistakes
    Life is horrible
    Life is dumb
    Life is awesome
    Life is depression
    Life is tears
    Life is sorrow
    Life is anxiety
    Life is Bullshit
    Life stinks
    Life sucks
    I could go on and on and tell you all about life
    But I'm not here to sort this out for you
    cuz..
    Life is all about you and how you treat it
    You criticizes it...well, you're actually criticizing yourself
    You like it, you hate it..well, its all up to you
    Life is you so be careful how you describe it
    Poet: Curly Mer

    I couldn't say it any better

    The much misunderstood cognito ergo sum always seems to ring true with me; all we can be sure of is the existence of thought. It's Solipsism in a nutshell.

    So that's my few lines, now allow me to elaborate. I'm not capable of being poetic and quotable, but I do believe that everything we know and hold to be true in this world can only ever be subjective. No-one sees the world as it really is, but only as our minds can perceive it. In most arguments, it's probable that none of us are objectively correct.
    Take Simulism for example. This essentially suggests we might just as well be living the plot of The Matrix. How would we ever know?

    So I'm nihilistic, cynical and sceptical - but still very happy

    I don't believe that we need to kid ourselves to live a fulfilling life.

    edit:

    Love this quote, cosmic, and I completely agree. When we're in a bad mood everything makes us unhappy, when the events are nothing to get upset about in themselves. It makes you realise how ridiculous our emotions are - yet they rule us.

    -The truth will set you free.
    -Begin doing what you want now. We only have the present moment.

    Life is what you make it; today's reality does not have to be tomorrow's reality. Through hard work and guts, you can make life into however you want it to be.

    All human endeavors, indeed all of Life's endeavors, are wittingly or unwittingly, a great conspiracy against death.
