surviving is living we do it untill we die, and when we die we fail surviving. Computers and technology can never survive for us, since they're abiotic. They do help us make living easier and more pleasant. It's not entirely true that animals don't do anything other than the things they need to do to live, like eating. Animals can play, and enjoy the warmth of the sun, but there is no organism that can afford to spend so much time as humans on activities that don't contribute to surviving directly. Like enjoying, or making art, reading, phantasising etc. We can rise out of ourselves and separate body from mind. That self-reflection is in my eyes the most important difference between humans and animals. Cogito ergo sum _______________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam |

Quote: That's attitude. The change memento mori / carpe diem was made in the renaissance. Technically speaking, to be born is to begin to die. But the very core of nature is survival > life. So what do we do? We survive. But the difference between humans and animals is that we try to enjoy during it and do things that are not necessary to survive. Not entirely correct, for example, the difference between humans and animals, is that one knows how to control their instincts, thus being mentally superior. However, due to your statement, you are stating that humans can live without doing the things that are not necessary. This is true to a point, A man goes to work to earn money so he can live a life, whatever is left is his free time, but because he knows how to think, he is able to enjoy his life. Thus Darwinism takes affect, the survival of the fittest, humans are fit to dominate other animals, so we survive. However, to survive, we must live, it is safe to say that humans live to survive, but after the goal of survival is over, what do we do? We die, and due to the increasing technology, we do not need to "Survive" as long as we need to because computers and technology is there to do so. _______________ When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer.

I just wanted your opinion, and btw, people did live to die. For example, Medieval Ages, they lived to help their after-life, they looked forward to it, and another thing, people still do. _______________ When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it.

PPL have often asked me on this thread....What is the meaning of life. And this is a discussion that can go on forever, all i can give is my oppinion. I beleive you make your own purpose in life. I beleive in destiny, but i also beleive you have power over that destiny. Tis true, we all die......why? is there actually a reason for it? i guess all i am trying to say is....Life is portrayed through our beleifs and through the things we are made to beleive as a child. But at the end of the day, you have the power to change the purpose of your life to mean what ever you want it to be. We already know the mind is an enormasly powerful tool , we just have to learn to use it....think out side the barriers Take Care -JaikoD'Kana- _______________ The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

Ambition is a good thing i agree ulic, but i beleive its better say i am doing something rarther than saying i will do something.....there is a difference. Hmmm now i do beleive that future planning is a good thing. Ignorance of the future of thep ast is inherantly wrong. But you cant plan for everything. Often i have found it is better to find your self in a situation, then fix it. i'll go into more detail about this sometime..... take care -JaikoD'Kana- _______________ The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

People dont live to die, They live as ulic says to live, death is just the conclusion of life. "All good things come to an end" as they say. I beleive the importance of life to to experiance as much as you can. If life is just a simple linear progression from oneexperiance to the next, then make sure you experiance life..... _______________ The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

I see, but in the perfect world, everyone lives to live, but in this world, not everyone does that. For example, why do people make a will? It is because they would like to pass on their property to others, and so on and so forth. However, when a will is not made, it is given to the gov't who makes use of it. So if we live to live, what is the use of making wills? By doing so, we secure our offspring the best chance at survival, people do not live to live, they live to change things around them. _______________ When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it.

People don't live to die, we live to live, so that's what we do best, like best and dying will be the last thing we'll do. And Jaiko, thoughts like, I'm going to.... etc are important to guide and plan your life. Without ambition you will not grow. _______________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam |

Interesting concepts there Jaiko, very nice Ok, I have one for you. If people live to die, why do they keep living on with their lives? Why do people go on with something, when there is nothing to go on with? _______________ When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it.

You have been a great influence on me and have always been their. There isnt much that i can say as i cant find the words, but one thing i know i want to say is.....

OK, Yes you are right alot of people do beleive that you can alter your future through your actions, others beleive in destiny. I choose not to concern my self with such things. Alot of people, you may have heard them Say "When im older i want to be......" "One day i will do....." People are living in the future, they make a claim onsomething that they have no DIRECT control over. Instead, live now DO things now, not tommorow. "Be the change you wish to see in the world" Im not saying that this is right, nor am i saying this is wrong. This is simply an alternative way of looking at life. Its up to you whether you accept it or not Take care folks -JaikoDKana- _______________ The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

But as I said, everything you do now influences the future, so shouldn't I think about the future while living now? And can you give an example of 'living now' and not in the past or in the future? |

Learn frmo the past yes......Dont live in the past, the past has already happend. It cannot be changed. The future has not yet happend, dont concern your self with either.

Kit, growing up doesnt suck , but means you have more responsibilities...yes, that can scuk....But also think of the pwer you have...the power to control your own desitny, and affect that of others....Sure being a kid is fun, But being grown up isnt as bad as some ppl would make out. _______________ The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

Yeah, but everything you did in the past has an impact on what you are now, and everything you do now influences the future. Shouldn't I learn from the past and all that? |
