What is life?

[Holiday20310401]

What if you're schizophrenic? lol.

Even then I guess it is what it is but what it isn't becomes moreso to others who are not what it is that you are.

Holiday,

So, you are stating here I believe, that you are what you precieve, and I might add, you are what you believe about what you precieve.

It makes sense to me.

Life is community in reaction to its environment, life is both community and environment, or subject and object. communivironment= organism.

Life is a dream, living is an idea.

We are all advocates and reprisals of each other's inevitable end, thats community.

The environment is the means for such uniformity and distinction. That is why I search for my place in reality.

Holiday,

I once heard a dieing man state, it all seems to have been a dream, by dream do you mean its is not real? Your seach for your place in reality is among objects, any more off the top of your head ideas?

Hmm.... You know I have to say I don't actually read much, I guess I should start. Then I could share real quotes from people who have gained influence.

Why not be of latent potential?

I wrote a poem that was meant to be read by any one person who was about to die and knew it. I called it Reality's Reason. But now I don't know what to call it because maybe reprisal and pessimism in the world, in humanity, comes from such reasoning for something bigger than themselves, to put ahead of one's place, for the sake of their connection to it for means of placing oneself over another; who is of the same means as any one other person.

What faith can there be in humanity? Experience is what we have that can be definite, but its hardly manipulateable, so why not get complete rid of it? Would that lull away the need for faith in humanity or is that an action that supports the very reason why it is hard to find reason in humanity?

Such ideas are useless without acknowledgment. And the world is full of ignorance. So deep down I couldn't care any more. But writing is the reason, it is latent, serene, but able to change the world.

Who was the person who said life was a dream to you if its ok to ask? Because life when linked so subtly and vague but vividly, and without goals but true heart, makes such understanding so intrinsic and sad, to the point of a pointy reason. One dimensional, less perception of such... and seems simply like a dream.

Right at the end of which the true means become clear, there is little to it, a few pieces to one's existence, their family, and such... it is all that is important; leaving room for lulling cognizance, for sleep.

My search for place in reality is among objects, but such objects are well... objects. We are again advocates and reprisals; tools to our own preservation and destruction, thats society for you.

If we as a society were to establish such moral continuity after individuality by community then what are we more than just contingency for we are not alive in meaning.

Holiday,

The person who died was an old friend. The quest for the meaning of life is a very big topic, in fact I do not believe there is a meaning but that does not stop people from desiring that there should be. As the Late Joseph Campbell once said, there is no meaning, look at it across the board, its a lot of protoplasm with an urge to reproduce, though there is no real meaning to life there is a purpose, and that is to life the life as decently and humanly as possiable, put your will behind it and play the best game you can. As to your suggestion to just chuck experience, this makes no sense to me whatsoever, even if it were possiable, it would not be desireable. As to the topic of community, it might be helpful to realize that that is what you are, what of yourself as biological community could you learn to apply to the outer community of society? If you are frustated that its all a struggle, well, that is pretty much what life is, struggle.

That's community. Must be. Not philosophy.

If you are searching; have you looked where you are sitting?
