All my life I have been positive but lately I have been thinking why? I do not see the reason to live. I mean it all ends in death anyway. Shirley

Isn't that a bit like saying; what's the use in baking a cake because it just gets eaten?

There's no particular reason to live, but most of us have got into the habit of it. As long as we're doing it, we might as well make the best of it.

there are many reasons to enjoy life to the fullest: passion for a hobby, mine is flying. passion for those we love, mine is my wife and son. pleasure of experiencing new things, like getting a pilot's license, or flying an ultalight at 5300 feet to discover a commercial airplane coming straight at you wondering if you have enough metal to show up on their radar. satisfaction of making the world a better place. enjoyment of helping someone in need. even simple things like an excellent dinner with someone special. for many theists... believing we carry these memories with us beyond physical death is highly meaningful. I've long felt like life is passing me by, without having done anything extraordinary. since Steve Jobs passed away I've been asking myself "why does that does it bother me so much?".
how does that feel to be a lawnmower man? must be a real rush.

"Life" does seem to be Its own Raison d'etre ....

Don't know if anyone remembers a movie with Robert Duval and James Earl Jones, "A Family Thing". My favorite scene is Duval explaining to his newly met nephew that happiness is as simple as having something to look forward to.

Where would we be if it weren't for the billions of people who never do anything extraordinary? They keep things going.
since Steve Jobs passed away I've been asking myself "why does that does it bother me so much?".
I suppose Steve Jobs did some extraordinary things, but he's past caring about them now. I've always been a PC user, so I didn't care about most of them when he was alive.

I know AKA I have been asking myself .because of Jobs, the same thing.
