But ... why???? Why fall in love then, if in the end, there is nothing? Might as well never fall in love, never get married.. just live and eat like wild animals and die off....Originally Posted by qwick
I think you get one chance at life so you better make it worth it, because when you die thats it, your dead ,there is nothing else.
The point of life is living, going through those ups and downs makes you who you are, make you wiser and stronger as a person. Thus sharing your life lessons with the next generation so that they them selves may then lead a better, more fruitful life. Add that, plus basic human nature, the need/want to insure that the species continues and you have your reason for living without religion.
The simple fact that we are the ONLY species to harbor such emotions and intelligence, tells me that there has to be something else for us. If not, we are pretty much a big waste of space..... we do more harm than good to the planet anyway.....
Why would "God" or evolution or whatever give us the ability to love someone that we would DIE for.... live our entire life together with them, only to forever separate us in the end? Why then give us the ability to love our parents, our kids, our partners etc.? Animals don't really have this? I don't think they really cry when we give away one of their litter? Or if we eat one of their embryo's? (eggs). Why do WE have this then? That would just be too cruel, to torture us with the sorrow and knowledge of death with no hope for rekindling.
