Indeed. Which is the reason we want to keep on living, so there will be a point to find.As I've posted at the Religion forum, if your life ends at your death,
and that's it, then all this life is pointless

quadclops do you have links to those past post. I would be very interested in reading them. Thank you!!Hi Wonder.
Another probable reason more people haven't replied to this post is that this topic has come up so many times before.
My reasons jibe with all the posts above. Curiosity, joy in the little things, anticipation for the things I haven't done yet, etc.

Krickey! That's a lot of searching. I tried a word search or six through the General Discussion forum, but got no satisfaction.
I'm sure the Navigators could surf this site better than I, maybe they'll hook you up.
Sorry. [sad]

Try posting a message with the title "What's so great about life anyways?" on a cancer patient forum and see how many, and what kind, of responses you get. I think many people here regard the question as either pathological or offensive. It's both really. Those that chose to respond are being very polite.Out of 439 members only 7 members replied to this topic. I find that very interesting.............

The problem is the mindset that puts aging in a different category than cancer or AIDS. It's not. Aging is a chronic and debilitating disease that deprives people of their health, independence, dignity, and ultimately their lives. As a colleague of mine once said, if there were a disease that suddenly turned healthy 20-year-olds into what we presently consider "healthy" 80-year-olds, we would consider it worse than AIDS.
