Sorry I was gone for the weekend and it looks as if I started a forest fire of posts.
The reason I was depressed (for those of you who want to know) was because it was just one of those days where you feel that you are all alone and that there is really no one who would care if you were gone (i'm sure you've had them). Back to the topic; I was wondering in general.
My personal though on life (now that I am not so depressed), is that life it to be lived for happiness. What makes us happy we have to find for ourselves. At the moment for me that would be learning and trying to find that special someone. In the future that will probably change.
Personally I am an atheist but I can the purpose of religion. For most of us, we have a fear of death. This leads to the necessity of something that allows us to continue on with life without the constant fear of death. This means that we find something that 'negates' death i.e. an afterlife. I can see that this is a very good thing in most cases. It allows a person to continue on with life and not live in constant fear of death. Personally, I do not fear death. It is merely an end to 'life'. Which brings us to another query which is perhaps more important. What is life?
