The point of life, is to be alive.

Not so easy for a physically challenged, paranoid manic depressive with a short fuse such as myself. :crazy:

Then the problem is not with having a good time, but rather your standard OF a good time...

What's the difference?

Don't get me wrong, I do have my moments. :)

We make our own point.
Each of us.
All it takes is a decision.
For me it was charity, art and teaching then family and charity. Being the best person I can be, the best father.
Focus and diligence, legacy.
I have a few other things, like spreading secularism (the fewer kids that are spared the child abuse of being told they will burn in hell if they sin because of me and those influenced by me alone makes my life worth living), I still help acting students with projects on-line from time to time, a few others.
Always, trying to live in such a way that I set an example is a purpose in itself.

My point exactly. IMO, it's the same thing.

You should be thankful no one has proven the meaning of life, the point of it all.
Just think how you would feel if they did, and you didn't approve.

The point is to love others as yourself. Make believe that the next person you see IS you, and you can help them/love them/serve them.

In that case, I'll take a ham on rye, hold the mayo. :lol:

I have a similar perspective, that's why I am a socialist.
