Not pointless at all. Do animals go around mumbling that it is all pointless? No they just get on with living. The point is the journey, not the destination. Working it all out is a constant challenge and when you have done your best and arrived at some conclusions, well then the game is over, so why hang around?
Rather than seeing it as pointless I like to consider the amazingly infinitely tiny probability that I am here at all. Of all the times in history I could have existed this is the best. There were trillions, gazillions of other people that could be sitting here, but its me! That is way better than any lottery win, and way more unlikely. Then again I have lived nearly 50 years without too much pain and loss, but with enough to experience those properly...I mean, how lucky is that? I haven't gone hungry for more than a few days, and most of the death I have seen has been non-violent. How many people on earth can say the same?

Hello Pedro or should I call you Peter, welcome to Xisto, you are in the right place to discuss your interests of varied ranges.Everyone here is helpful and you can always rely on the quality of discussion.Talking about your interests,what you put forward about the concept of life is probably a question in every mature mind, hopefully someone would come up with some novel ideas in this regard.When you say that our lives lack time for our family and more important stuff, the only person I can remember is me. I well understand how that takes so much away from ultimate happiness.Our common fields of interest are music and movies. Jim Carrey is one of my favourite actors as well and I like more of humour in movies. In music it could be anything, from fast beats to soulful melodies, I can live on it.I really look forward to hear more from you, and hope you enjoy your stay here on this forum
