• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Purpose of Living?

    Thats kind of like saying I have a desire to eat over not eating because I haven't stopped eating, and not because its difficult to stop while acknowledging it is. The only reason I haven't is because killing myself is hard to do. I suppose I live for the reason that its easier, because I can...

    @Hiikaru: Well that makes sense, and seems to be a pretty good worldview, I just...I don't know, I'm not sure *how* to have fun now. What's some fun things I can do? @... :I suppose thats a compelling argument, but death sounds like sleeping forever. And I enjoy sleeping more than living at...

    @Music Dragon: Okay, let me rephrase: Give me a reason why life is more desirable than death.

    Purpose of Living?

    I am extremely open to all theistic and atheistic viewpoints if there can be a convincing argument for a 'why' to continue to living under that worldview. And when I say a 'why' I don't mean just "a purpose given by X" but I am interested also in hearing irreligious 'whys' like "you should live...
