Your point of living?
#60
RE: Your point of living?
So regardless of whether OP is a troll or genuinely curious, I've actually asked myself some of the same questions. Sometimes I just get into a nihilistic mood or bouts of depression and nothing feels worth it. But that was still true when I was a believer. Existential dread is existential dread whether I think I'm going to exist forever or that I'm going to stop existing when I die. But here's why I don't mind living:

- To see what happens
- For the moments here and there every day that I enjoy
- There are a few things I feel driven to accomplish before I die
- I have some nieces and nephews that seem to love and even like me so far, and I want to be around while they grow up.
I didn't ask to be alive, but now that I am there's more to gain by riding it out and enjoying myself than there is by checking out early.
