The hope that one day I will be successful enough to provide my family with an adequate life and everything they need (need, not want). Oh, and a minivan cause I'm sick of packing 5 people into a tiny car.
Freedom.
Until I can afford it, as odd as that sounds, I simply won't be able to attain it or do anything cool with it.

What do I live for? Survival of the species, but I pretend that it's for a good pepperoni pizza.

Some people are just fvcked up... It is an amazing thing...
Everything else is transitory, and he lives for something eternal, so he's fvcked up? He's chosen to forgo everything *natural* about being a human being (natural does not intrinsically mean good, btw) and fulfill his desires by living to serve his Lord and Savior (it does feel like fulfillment, not sublimation).
Your reply loses all derogatory meaning when a few words are changed so that it reflects the actual situation. If his perspective is so fvcked up, why do you have to say things that he would deny are true in order to show other people how fvcked up it is? You should be able to just say what SXMP would agree with, and if it's so blatantly fvcked up, other people would recognize that right off the bat.
I kind of agree. I remember that as kids my brother and I would entertain ourselves for hours taking all the cushions off the couches and other things around the house and making forts and complex (at least for us then) structures and pretend they were houses or mansions or whatever. Outside we would do the same with whatever crap we could find around the yard.
I recently had to watch a friend's niece for a day. This little girl was playing Nintendo 64 for a couple hours. I got sick of sitting in silience as she played. I got her to stop playing the game and started building couch cushion caves and stuff for her. This blew her mind. She never imagined there were things to do outside of TV or video games. After the initial shock she loved it. When her aunt came back she could barely be torn away. Hopefully the idea that there's more to life than tv sunk in.
I agree, but did you not stop to think about WHO IS SPOILING THEM. They can't possibly do it by themselves. The parents obviously either feel compelled to give them whatever they want, or they feel pressured to..hell I don't know why they do it, but they do.
I know when I was younger, Id play in the woods behind my house alllll day.I had a blast. Whenever I played inside, I was building something with legos. Never had the sets you bought and built to spec either, just made sh!t up. Imagination is what kids lack these days. IMO..

I live for God
The question asked what do you live for, not what do you live for [flame the answers you do not like]. I find it sad that my first ammendment right can be quashed because it's unpopular culturally, yet that same right allows you to say what was said. The irony of it all.
1) I know very few parents who don't want what's best for their kids. And for a lot of parents, they think they can pour their love out in the form of giving their kids what they themselves didn't have growing up. while this is resepctable, at the same time, it clearly can lead to children who lack imaginations
- Why have an imagination now and days when it can easily be provided for you? You don't have to think, you just have a box that plugs in to a wall, and another box, voila, hours of imagination, and your parents (for the lowlow price of 40-60 bucks) can buy more 'imagination' disks to feed you! w00pie!
I remember playing outside (i'm from the city
), and thinking of what i was doing, and between the imaginations of my friend and myself, we could play for hours. and when we did something like go camping, weeeee, the imagination worked overtime.

Wow, and the sad thing is I believe you. Different strokes for different folks and all, but seriously wtf?!
The neverending search for the truth, in how the universe works. This is commonly called physics.

:beer:Things that were once fun and are now not may be a sign of depression. Sounds like you should talk to a counsler or a doctor. Plently of people are happy to help you. Dont be afraid to ask.
Having said that heres a Seinfeld quote:
"Do you got a job?"
"No"
"Do you got money?"
"No"
"Do you got a woman?"
"No"
"Do you have any prospects?"
"No"
"Anything on the horizon?"
"No"
"Any conceiveable reason to get up in the morning?"
"I like to read the daily news."
I been there too. One day at a time. And get at least 30 mins of exercise a day!
