Life

[Kashima]

No problem. I just love this topic. So what do you think of my second question. What is your personal opinion?

Question: What is life?

i think i said this before life is one elaborate mind game the goal either happiness or recognition both if youre truly crafty and lucky

[Todd]

What exactly do you mean by that?

What defines life?

And yes if you are truly crafty/lucky you will get both recoginition and happiness. The whole reason I have started this thread is to get people to think about where and what they are doing in life. Just the fact that they consider this brings them up to the point where they are above the masses (sad but true). What I am trying to say is don't accept anything at face value.

Most people in this world seek one of two if not both of these things . A to be happy and content this is generally catergorized under finding the one you love or getting a decent job and having a family. Then there is B recognition being a celebrity, or a famous war hero maybe a world renowned surgeon. See what i mean?

What defines life?

Hmm. I'll have to this about that. But for now I have homework....So I'll respond later.

to have been born and the ability to die i think

[Vincent Rayne]

What defines life?

Thinking...
the human mind is what life is...

if you have no mind...
you cannot think...
and with no thought...
there is no free will...

so i suppose...
free will is what defines life...
if you have never heard of the song "free will" by "rush"...

i highly recommend it...
or looking up the lyrics...

viola!!!

Yes, I agree life is usually spent looking for that significant other(I'm at that stage, though I probably won't reach it quite yet considering I'm only 15), or being famous, though what does make a person famous? Who decides? Do we just follow one big crowd and a chain reaction occurs? It isn't too hard to become famous really... I could do it in a heart beat... I'm not sure that I would want to be...It just depends on what you would be famous for...Hitler for example is famous for his attempt to genocide of the jews.... while others are famous do to movies or technology.... What do you think about this?

I think life is basically differs between different people. Life should be what their purpose here on earth is.

But i have a question that somewhat goes to life. What part of your body are you? i was thinking the brain, but i dont think its ther brain, cause people can still live while the brain isn't really functioning properly.

[zero132132]

They still function but they are not the same person.

I personally think that life is defined by who you are. Some people go through life without questioning anything which is what I truly find sad. Others question everything and forget that there are some things that unless they take it for granted, they will never be completely happy (love for instance). Life is just a random amalgamation (finally got to use that word) of events I think. I'm not sure I believe in free will. I'm more of a cause/effect guy myself.
