Topic: Why do we do it?
started by: L33T_h4x0r_d00d
Why do we get close to people and things if we are just going loose them. Why bother having a wife or a girlfriend if at some point your going to have to face the pain of loosing them? Its not like we dont know its coming. Man has known about his mortality for thousands of years. With mortality comes death and loss. Why must we do this to ourselves.

Option B: Live well, have fun, enjoy friends and family. Feel temporary pain of loss when said items grow old and die. Eventually get over it and realize that death is a part of life. Continue having fun with others.
I choose B.
I own a cat but shes a little baby kitten so she isnt going any place right now. But i feel that way about guys. Ive lost so many good friends to being in love with them and then out of love with them that I just keep thinking Im re-living the same year over and over just with a different guy each time. 
Losing is part of life though and facing pain makes you appreciate all the good things you have in life. Its like that old saying "It's better to have loved and lost then to never love at all" I think that goes for most things in life. Life is not static its a dynamic entity and not to be even more cliched but they say nothing in life is constant except change itself. You have to understand that even though mortality is part of life- you are here for a reason- go find what it is and be happy.

WE do it to experience experiences and create memories that make us feel ALIVE.

All that I know there was no God for me
Force that shatters all, absence of mortality
if you know you're going to die, why would you want to spend the time, between now and then, alone and waiting for it??
it makes more sense to find someone with which to pass the time, and die happily, providing you find the right person...
besides, being a hermit is sort of hard these days too, (there isn't a place in the world where one cannot be reached by telephone), and being a hermit means no e-mail, no fast-food, no sex...doesn't sound too appetizing, does it?
that's all i have to add right now
tbone
this also applies to cats i guess...no mabye not

Hardly. Running around getting stressed out by reality isn't any fun. Going apeshit is. If you're not having fun, you're not living your life correctly. So says me. :-D
like i didnt say, sanity is overrated
