You'd be helping proving me less correct if your stance was more positive than negative :p

Well I have heard it before and that troubled me, if someone could never be happy what's the point of living? Why do you think I'm on here so much, its so I can be happy.

Agreed, and good point.

We're drifting into psychology here, or possibly sociology or even philosophy. (That last: Because you asked "what's the point of living".)

There are millions of people in the world who suffer from all sorts of mental illnesses, depressions, addictions and other things that screw with the head. For many of these people, depending on their particular affliction, they can only be happy (to various extents) if other people are miserable.

A meaningful question to ask might be "why don't they deserve to do what makes them happy, if everyone else gets to be happy."

A pragmatic (and rather cold) answer would be: it sucks to be them. They may have a biological imperative to attempt to achieve happiness, but society is going to exercise its own imperative to suppress those who achieve personal happiness at the expense of everyone else's.

Basically it just pays to get off on being kind :p

For every action theres a reaction. Just by living there are consequences of such. Good or bad ones its up to you to decide or make so.

Universe heat death is not gonna happen anytime soon by our lifetimes, not even close. Human race will be extinct far before that.

Also,@SpwnX our actions have no affect on the world. Eventually it just ends in Heat Death
Any time soon?
Like, I was going to go out for drinks with some friends this weekend but if entropy is going to destroy the universe shortly I'd just as soon stay home and eat curry. Mmmm curry. That's a good way to go.

What is the point of it will all be the same in the end anyway?

True, but it means that everything we will have done will mean NOTHING

Nothing to our current mortal instances perhaps. If you believe in afterlives, that's a variable to consider. If you believe that our universe could be a tiny mote of dust in the hand of something greater, that's also a variable to consider.

  1. If the afterlife is not static it can end. Thus it will either end (and nothing else happens) or mean nothing because it is static
  2. See 1 :p
