I saw a wasp upon a wall
and did not like its face at all
and so the creature had no time
to wonder weather he liked mine.

not by me

I'll try to find out.

I am a kettle
I want to boil water
I'm going to put it in a tea pot
to make some tea.
:confused:

[shadowfax]

What is your philosophy on life? God is. God is good. I am here. + or - a bunch of other stuff :p
How do you go about living your life? one day at a time, looking for beauty and losing it too often.
Who are you? I am. not to be confused with I AM. I am here, i am going to die.
What do you want? forgiveness for being me?
Where are you going? none of your business.
Why? 'cos i said so.

[Doctor Q]

Give us your personal answers, Durandal7.

[Durandal7]

Life is simply a journey, as such you should follow what you what want and not let your every action be governed by others.

I live my life in a way that amuses me. This sometimes sets off some people but they should deal with it.

I am Durandal7, nothing more, nothing less. One human being among 6 billion.

What I want is happiness and knowledge above all else. I obtain happiness from knowledge so I suppose it works out for the best.

Life is a precious and rare thing, though the rare part is debatable. As far as I am concerned, matter is a byproduct of consciousness and time is not as we percieve it. Afterall, we only percieve time due to a chemical reaction which is very primitive method of understanding such a complex thing.

Life is a mysterious and wonderful thing, much more then some people will admit. It amazes me how some people would rahter live misreably with money instead of pursuing hapiness at the expense of a few dollars/euros.

I simply exist. That's all I need to know.

Livin' life, livin' love, lovin' livin.

Peacin' out. Some bits from my favorite rap song say it fairly well-

spend your life gettin booty, smokin out, chasin stack,
and you'll win the rat race but you'll still die a rat
don't fight with Desire, don't be her tool
kick back and relax, letcha common sense rule
step back, step away, one step every day
and you'll step from the wheel of the world to the Way
learn to do like Pooh, flow like water roll down
and get stack, get booty and be high on the Tao

[death raps this bit]

so don't fear me, 'cuz in me you see
the truth of the life: that to live is to be!
the fact of creation, the rush of sensation
and living lives on through the Death inspiration
and whether your life comes out pear-shaped or spherical
good or bad, kid, it's whatcha get, and it's a miracle.

Macs ARE A PART of my life.

Life is too short to contemplate endless questions such as these :D

[2nyRiggz]

I am the warrior from the past living this normal life with no battles...:(

life in my view is my silent pain that no one sees - that no one understands and no one will ever endure the pain and suffering i go about everyday, silently and hopelessly.

This seems to be a trend.

I like solvs's answer. *nods in agreement*

After studying astronomy for quite some time, you have to just wonder why what we do actually matters. There are over 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and over 50 billion galaxies that we know of in the Universe.

Just to add some perspective, the nearest star is, I believe, over 4 light years away. Crazy.

We're here because we developed, no particular reason. At least as far as I see it.

All we are is dust in the wind, dude.

What is your philosophy on life? - Life is complex, but understand each piece, and you'll understand it all. Oh, and make the right connections, or, even better, be the one who people look to as a "connection."
How do you go about living your life? - Stressed, albeit accomplished.
Who are you? - I am Ryan.
What do you want? - I want to be remembered.
Where are you going? - To everywhere and anywhere.
Why? - Because there's too many wonderful things to miss out on if you don't.

[TrenchMouth]

Who are you? - I am Ryan.

No, I am Ryan.

OK, we can share.

My philosophy on life...I am insignificant and unique, just like everyone else. I am a mirical. A mirical that has happened over 7 billion times. I believe in a "higher power" but I don't think it has ever told us what to do beyond the instructions written in the laws of physics. I want to get to where I am going, because I don't have a choice but to go there. I will enjoy every last minute of it, and I will use a Mac along the way.

My philosophy on life in that the point of life is to bring light, beauty, and love into as many places as you can and to try to stop yourself from creating pain for yourself or others.
Who am I? All I know is that I have a body, so when I die, I have no clue what happens. I actually do believe in a sort of heaven after death, but I don't like to think about it too much. It stresses me out b/c I fret over the details over what it would be like. Being nonexistent and just having my body decompose may seem morbid, but to be it seems beautiful... strange, I know. Anyways, I don't fear death... and who I am is just some body and what makes me who I am are my DNA and my outside environment. I don't think it's bad for humans to care about things and feel as though they have free will, but I almost feel as if free will is an illusion and that we can't blame people because they're just a product of their DNA and surroundings, as am I.
What do I want? I want fufillment. I want contentment and love and humanity pulsing through my veins.
Where am I going? I expect my life path to be finish junior high, go to high school, go to college, intern some places, probs go to graduate school, and then I'll probably do something involving science, and I would love to be a professor in it but of course that requires being pretty brilliant and working lots, but I have a major passion for science.

Well, being in the state that I am in now, there is no way to be positive.

[j26]

What is your philosophy on life? Treat people as you would like to be treated, not just with consideration, but honesty.
How do you go about living your life?Try to do that best I can at whatever I'm doing, but not worry if someone can do it better. My goals are personal, not competitive.
Who are you?Just a soul trying to make sense of a world that is consuming its way to oblivion, and considering using nuclear weapons
What do you want?A sandwich
Where are you going?To the fridge
Why?To get something to put in my sandwich

[raggedjimmi]

What is your philosophy on life? Karma controls all. Be good and happy?
How do you go about living your life? In real life? Think Dr. Hibbert. I laugh a lot. Humour is a big part of my life. Everything is good with humour.
Who are you? A person in waiting
What do you want? Safety
Where are you going? Busy places
Why? I don't like the rest.

The dude severely disagrees.

"When I speak of skin I speak of a slow day in the forces that are compelling all of us to be brushing up against one another." (http://www.ucpress.edu/books/sale/pages/10288.html)

[kettle]

Karma controls all. Be good and happy?

If this were the case, surely all the ripples of rights and wrongs would even themselves out into a mirrored mill pond of indifference. A potential difference between good and bad may be required for Karma to get noticed doing its cosmic policeman thing, showing us an all knowing omni present justice, but this doesn't mean that karma has the last word, or the first. It's just a knee jerk reaction arguably no less a coincidence than following ambulances and finding ill fortune.

Also, be good and happy, what do you call the force that dishes out misfortune to genuine 100% proof do-gooders? anti karma?

I'm not on your case personally, just on the case...

peace etc.

[Shamus]

Well, being in the state that I am in now, there is no way to be positive.

Your right, I dont know what your life is like at all. All I am saying is that there are people in the world that are in a worse off state than yourself. Think about it...

The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off (http://www.channel4.com/health/microsites/B/boy_whose_skin_fell_off/index.html)

Did anyone ever see this documentary?

When someone reminds me or other that there is always someone worse off than oneself, I have trouble not thinking of this guy.
