Pleasure as Purpose or No?
I guess the easiest way to ask this is:
What is your view on life?
What is our purpose here? Pleasure? To make the world a better place?
Is it right to bring kids into this dying and cold world?
That's all I can think of right now, I'll add more as it comes to me.

hmm a good way to distract me while studying
What is your view on life?
You gotta do what you gotta do. If you were born why not live your life, ending it early wont do any good, and thinking about why wont make your life longer,more meaningful etc.
What is our purpose here? Pleasure? To make the world a better place?
No purpose, just randomly go on with your life, if that random stream some how ends up with a life time goal so be it.
Is it right to bring kids into this dying and cold world?
How else am I going to tell my "back in my day" stories?

Thanks and yeah I get at what your saying, We should be doing something, on a serious note, I would say Life is going to be what you make of it, this is a tough question and I'm sure everyone spends their whole life pondering it including me. I've found myself switching my answer to this question alot, As of now I would say once you realize you have a finite amount of time, you begin to take away all the bullshit in life, you become more in control, your actions begin to resemble more of who you are and not what your parents want, society wants or even logic. I'm beginning to digress I'm interested in what other people have to say. and by people I mean people not Trolls lol tho some of them are funny.

I found your post very refreshing sir.
To speak to your point a bit, I have found for me that once I made the decision to be who I am and not what anyone else wants that I began and continue to question: what is is I want? who is it I am?
Tough one.

Thats good, I don't think I'm fully there yet, its really a hard process I would say atleast for me, it sounds like a simple concept but I find myself flipping back to my oldself slowly to feel secure or something, it takes alot of courage in my opinion to do that.
