It got me thinking...

"When you can live forever what would you live for?"
"What is the meaning of life?"


Those two questions (one from the Twilight movie, the other from a lot of conversations.) got me thinking.

My first answers to the questions were:

(1) Love, I mean the only I would live for is to protect my friends, family, and the person I love. Not that I wanna live, but I don't wanna die either, knowing that they aren't happy. In many occassions I hated my life all together and I wanted to commit suicide. But in those times, I thought about my friends and family. I told a few of my friends about how I felt, and it turns out, I wasn't ready to die and leave my life behind. Not while my friends still want me here. But then again the question is : "When you can live forever..." which is is impossible. Eventually death will come. Sooner or later? Who knows.


(2) Death. If you live, you die. If you say you live for love, your love one dies, you have no problem with dying yourself. If you live for happiness, if you know the term happiness, you must first learn the term sadness in which case, there's no point in that. If you live for... knowledge, there is no possible way anyone knows everything, that's a full waste of time to live to learn. Sure you can learn and probably succeed, but what's the point of that when you die at the end and all the knowledge is gone. You say knowledge can save someone's life? They're gonna die sooner or later. The only point of life is death. Everything leads to death. So how is there a disagreement in that?

All in all, I'm not emo to say this but, if you live, live for the present not the future. Because all the future leads you to, is death.
