what drives you ppl?
personally i'm turning 20 in a couple of weeks, and have run into a major crossroads...i whent throught my ninja/shaolin monk phase (and i'm still doing martial rats), and i've tired doing the music thing...but now the ppl i look up to think probably think i'm a liar and don't want anything to do with me. I've been a hippie to extents, and a programmer/hacker to others...I've always followed "he who dies with the most toys still dies," and tried to live carefree...
i'm due for some serious soul searching, but who can i when i don't have one? not even a spark...i'm i grow colder by the day...
i was just wondering what drives you ppl...a gf? good job? weed? music? i'm just curious for input, and i need something to read to keep me away for 2 more hours...

A drug-free care-free mindset coupled with a cynical nineties piss-and-vinegar esthetic is what keeps me going from day to day.
Really. You only have a limited ammount of time. The people who manage to die during a life of contentment even after pissing off every single person they have ever met are invariably better off than those who live those who spend most of their lives worrying about how they are being accepted.
Baisically, I am not saying you should go out and become an alchoholic cracksmoking wifebeater, but you really should stop second guessing yourself as much as you seem to. If you learn to feel comfortable with yourself, I find that things seem to fall into place a lot easier.

the meaning of life is to survive. the purpose of death is to die. it's as simple as that.

i always figured, whatever the purpose is, or if there even is a purpose, which likely there is not, being alive is a pretty rare thing. All of the things that had to happen to bring you into existence; all of the things that could have gone wrong that could have prevented your existence; and all of the things that could happen to you every day to end your existence; no matter what your faith is, you have to admit that it is pretty amazing to be alive. And since you only have a finite time alive, and approx 1/3 of it is spent sleeping, and for most of us another 1/3 is spent working, you only get about 1/3 or less to do what you like. It is better to be enjoying yourself in that free time than to be hating people, hating yourself, complaining about things that suck etc..
if something makes you happy, do it. if something makes you angry, fix it. It takes too much energy to stress out about stupid shit.
take advantage of being alive and enjoy it because it very well could be the only time you'll ever get to do it.

You really have to choose between science and religion. The fundimental difference is, in science selfishness is good (survival of the fittest) and in religion selfishness is bad (do unto others...), once youve got that part worked out, the rest should follow.

I always find that those who ascribe to religion are the people least likely to live by the maxim 'do unto others' or their equivalents.

Yeah, but science tries to get everything prooven, relying on things that seem to be absolute from a common point of view, religion does quite the contrary: the absolute in religion is going against the common, rational reasoning: it speaks of things unbelievable. That's its beauty, but its burden too...

christians believe god created man for example; but some christians believe that the method for the creation of man was evolution. in this example science describes the method of creation but faith distinguishes the perpetrator.
so maybe science does not always contradict faith.
i'm agnostic though, i don't care if life was intentionaly created. i just recognize that life is an interestingly rare occurance.

well,, if you read the bible (the only approved description of creation by the church) you'd know that evolution is quite the opposite to ex-nihilo theory...

everyone needs to read the book DAS ENERGY I think the meaning of life is to be know for something or influence people in a positive way i mean look at APHEX TWIN he influenced all of us, hes one main reason i bought a sampler, drummachine etc. I just want to produce art and music that will survive when im gone. that will hopefully influence people or inspire them to paint draw or produce music. Also people need to do what they feel is right, despite laws, you need to fight for freedom, all these stupid laws confuse people and people dont use common sense or recognize the obvious. sometimes things are complicated but have a simple answer that is obvious but its overlooked because its right infront of there face.

I think people see humans as far too important. What makes us any more important than plants? We are just cells working together anyway.
Death is just the cells dying and stopping working together. We all become part of those things we don't even think about as significant
