This was a meaning of life I was going to put onto my earlier post but felt it was too depressing. This is very depressing but I feel it could be a meaning of life anyway.
Death is seemly the highest probability of the human race as well as most if not everything else of this world. Everything ends. What if the point of life was to die? We have no memory of anything before our life and no one after it comes back. Ever had one of those dreams where your memory has been impaired and you think your someone else or somewhere else and it is natural? What if life was an illusion that had been created the same way? Before life there is something and after life there is something, in the same way before you wake up and after you go to sleep you dream. This does not mean the world is a dream just not all that there is.
There are lots of theories of after life and heaven if you are good or hell if you are bad. What if no matter what you did you just went to the next stage no matter what you did? If this is true then what would be the point in living? The big problem is we do not know if there is an afterlife because no one has come back. This could mean that there is no afterlife, it is not possible to come back or no one has ever wanted to come back. People have had accounts of near death experiences. I read once a story of a guy who ran out of air. He said although at first you are struggling to get air when you reach the point where you are about to pass out it is very familiar, almost as if you have experienced it before. It is like you feel you are floating although he was underwater at the time. The thing that made it sound interesting to me is how familiar he said it felt. Maybe we do come back and just do not remember.
This is not to say we can all kill ourselves or each other as we simply do not know. I started this post expecting this to be very depressing where as in all fairness the idea of going somewhere else is a lot less depressing to me then to just rot. Maybe when or although very unlikely I won’t but if I die maybe I will try get back. This post is not to recommend suicide at least not until strong proof has been found of after life.
