What is this thing we call life. Is there really any point? I mean unless we do something major we will have never mattered. It is pointless in 100 years we will only be remembered by our children and grand chrildren. Once they are gone no one will know who we were. Ok so we are born, we go to school to prepaire ourselfs fo life. Once we are out of school we get a job and work until we are too old to work any more. If at some point we got married and had children we strive to make their lifes better than ours was. It is a never ending cycle. Ok so that was a very brod look at how life works. If we look at it more closely on a day to day level. We make mistakes and learn things from them. We are faced with many decisions that we can't really make we just endup doing something that we know nothing about. How can truly justify what we do? Even if we lived a thousand years in the thousandth year we wouldn't be qualified to make the decisions that we do, and our lifes would still be pointless.

mattered to who?
my friends matter to me more than they'll ever know. just by living, just by being, a person has incredible impact on the people around him. something about being 'who you are rather than what you do.'
what is the most important thing about people remembering us in 100 years anyway? if we are dead, what good will it serve us. or anyone. to be remembered.
and if we only die...
hmm.
is that really the end? or is it the beginning?
it seems that how you answer that question
structures the rest of your view on life's purpose, or pointlessness.
My life would feel a lot like that (and unfortunately, it does on occasion) if a few things were missing in my life: God, friends, thrills, joy, and most anything that I can look at and exclaim "Woah!! How awesome!!" Life really is worth it, even though you may regret past moments and fear the upcoming ones.
