Is it normal to believe that life has no point?

I believe that Life has no real purpose. Religion, beliefs, etc. are self-imposed illusions of people to get through it before death.

    self imposed? No no no! They put these things before our eyes! And blind us! They blind us from the truth! The truth! The truth is life isn't the center of the universe!
    The truth is we hold on to an antropocentric vision of life so we can avoid feeling like, this cup. This fucking cup. (shattering the cup) It was already broken. How can life have a purpose? Everything is a reaction! Purpose in our minds! There in no purpose! Are you trying to tell me this bunch of atoms here knew what they were doing and had a purpose when they got all together to form this fucking now destroyed cup? Clean that up will you? Our purpose is to host bacteria and recycle the shit we are made out of! That's the only purpose of life! create and recycle shit!
    Is this cup recyclable? Don't even try gluing it up back together again or I am going to fucking murder you! What? Don't look at me like that! It was your favorite cup.
    Oh yeah? Now it is no more! what if the purpose of life is just destroying the planet? what if we are merely meant to destroy the planet? how are we any different from this fungus over here!? It's just shit! we are just shit! Life is just shit! Am I exaggerating? We think we are so bloody important. But really, we have no big missions to conquer outern space, there is no big point. No great purpose.
    And everything is shit. This website is shit, he is shit, everything is shit. I am going to take a dump. That's the point in life. That's the only point in life! Shit! Ahhhhhhh! I am bleeding! I am bleeding! My hemorroids! Ahhh!ahhhhh! (shoving toilet paper up my butt) Should stop bleeding in no time. That's way too much blood. I am feeling kind of dizzy. Do I look paler than usual? What are you waiting for? give me my cream! I need my cream! I was thinking about shattering you like a cup.
    You insensitive piece of crap! I am bleeding here! I am going to have to use a red hot lighter to cauterize my own hemorroids! Whatever. I am going to fix the cup.

    Just go with it. If you believe in yourself and your thoughts life has alot of meaning its just you haven't discovered what you want in life. Don't worry life has a plan for everyone and when the time comes for your role you would pray for more time to play your part. Patience my friend. Just wait for the right time. Till then enjoy life what life has offered you now and if you dont find anything ill suggest be with the people around you and help them do what they want to do. If someone wants something happen go with them and let them know that what they think cannot happen can happen. Simple

      I agree with you!!

      My son was severely dyslexic and at the age of 41 I found a natural talent for teaching kids to read - after I taught him, when all the 'experts' had failed after years of trying.

      It was never something I considered but have now taught many other children too. I suddenly feel that the meaning of my life is to help children read and maybe one day one of them will do great deeds to help the world :o)

    I have been thinking about these stuff and also thougt to give a post someday.:-D

    i don't believe in god or religion. But very much confused about the purpose of life. I passed a lot of time thinking at night staring at the moon and stars and thinking about life in other planets and why they and we exsist? Don't know.

    And the right answer is three words:
    UNDERSTANDING
    ENLIGHTENMENT
    ETHICS

    The statement life has no meaning is not true, but neither is the idea that some supreme dictator gives it meaning. Meaning can only apply to sentient creatures. A dogs life has no meaning, a trees life has no meaning, human life has meaning if we choose.

    you just realized something that many people never understand. the truth is you make your own point in life, you decide whats worth living for. aside from that, you're just another organism in the universe, one out of billions, and one day you will die, and it wont chance anything, youll be forgotten as if you never existed, and within sometime our planet itself will cease to exist (in a few billion years), and so all that we do and achieve will just disappear one day as if nothing ever was.
    but for now, youre alive, and you can live, even if only for the moment, so you better make the best of it, because once its gone, you cant get it back.

    I agree with you in terms of Religious ideologies. The best advise I can give you (which has helped me) is to pursue something you are passionate about. If you can find happiness in your work/studies that is all that really matters.

    Cheers,

    The cycle of "life" is life, death, and reincarnation.

    We live, but then we also must face the cruel reality that everyone dies.

    We must learn as much as we can in this "life" to make it useful for our next.

    So on and so on.

    That's just how I see it. Call it a bit of a theory, but a slightly unfinished one:/
