Like what do you beleive? I think you should have fun in this lifetime (beleive if you have more than one life or not). Why live it the way other people want you to. I think you should have fun, do what you want as long as its in the boundries of human nature (like not killing people, animals, etc that kinda crazy stuff) Like if you want to travel the world don't ever let someone say thats crazy, do it, you'd be surprized who you might meet and what things you might learn. I am going to thailand this summer and i'm gonna have maybe 5 bucks tops with me to get my set up then after that i'm gonna work my way around and visit the places i want to.

An outlook on life is too expensive. I go for the cheaper outlook express on life.

Life's a piece of sh!t
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh,
and deaths a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show,
keep'em laughing as you go,
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

stiffing someone the way you are referring it is to deny them payment (leave them with the bill) for their service, which i did not......

So, what makes you think you have but one life to live? What proof do you have? How do you know that there aren't an infinite number of universes, some of which you have already lived in and many others that you are yet to live in? Maybe each progressive universe you live in is based on how well, or poorly, you lived in the previous universe.

Your post makes no sense, since it is based on nothing.

The Universe Holds Infinite Possibilitys......

Einstein, once theorized that in order for there to be an infinite amount of possibilitys there must be
infinite Universes, basicly the idea is for every (smallest measureable amount of time) goes by
more Universes split off infinitely forming new Universes that create yet more Universe and so on

here today, gone tomorrow.

we never know *when* it'll happen to us so i think let the petty stuff go, be at peace with yourself, and make sure you let your loved ones know they're loved. don't take anyone or anything for granted. and for jiminy's sake, follow what's in your heart.

carpe diem.

My perspective on life?

Life Sucks and there is almost nothing you can do about it.

you meet friends and people you love and you leave them or they leave you in a short period of time.

You go up to high school then all the friends you have made go off to college and you start all over. You finish college and leave the friends you made there and start over. You begin work then all types of things happen and life changes drastically, friends are made and lost.

People are the true center of everyone's life, good company means good times, You can't always be in good company though and you cant always be around people. Even when you are, you have to have something to do and life can be quite boring.

People are often to horrible to each other to make life half-way enjoyable though. Thousands of people are born each day but even more die each day, and a lot of that can be contributed to the malice of our fellow man. There are always exceptions, good people you will meet along the way though, these are the people you have to hang on to for as long as you can.

Either life is a buffer point for something worth while or we are all here for the sole purpose of propagation which sucks. This is where faith would come in, if you have any.

Every person's purpose in life is different because they choose that purpose in their heart and minds. We all need something to strive forward to, when we find out what that is for each of us we can then pursue it and with it happiness.

"The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher."
-Thomas Henry Huxley, Life and Letters of Thomas Huxley

I think the problem is we all fall into lull's and dont grow, how many people do you know that are actually happy? None most likely, just "content" people or worse. I know i am unhappy, maybe thats why my views are as they are.

Oh well, im rambling.

Easier said. Its like people these days live life like theyre gonna live forever - its always about the future, going to school for years, making money, saving money, blah blah. It's so hard to see past all the BS our society makes us belive its important and concentrate on the now,the beauty of life that can be enjoyed now.

I know what you mean, cuz many times I've said this before but this time it's for real. But so many relatives/friends of family/people I know have serious illnesses or died, and it's an eye opener. I do have my education, and apart from a few reasonable goals I have, I must say I'm thankful for what I have and who I have. I find beauty in the simple things.

This is what I need to learn to do. I've lost the ability to enjoy the moment and the simple things in life. I find it hard to clear my mind of the problems and worries that occupy it. Reclaiming my ability to enjoy life should be my main priority now.

OUTLOOK ON LIFE:

Science would tell you that you're here long enough to aid in the process of converting light (organized energy) into heat (entropic energy.)

Religion would tell you that you're here long enough to make a difference in eternity, which begs the question why we can't just start there.

Opportunism would tell you that you're here to pick door number one, two, or three.

Descartes would tell you to think about it for awhile.

Immanuel Kant would ask you how you know that life exists.

John Stuart Mill would tell you to invest in utilities.

Linkin Park would tell you that in the end, it doesn't really matter.

General George Douglas MacArthur would tell you that he doesn't know why he's here, but he will return.

Abraham Lincoln would tell you that it's to preserve the Union.

Yoda would say, "Hmmm... difficult to see, the outlook is."

Don't even ask the weatherman.

Neo would tell you that it's to discover a system without rules or controls, without borders or boundaries.
