There is no real point in life.

So if they have opposite personalities, a point of life would be futile because this proves that not all humans are able to live up to it.
Humans are so vastly different from each other in so many ways, expecting them to live up to a single point of life (you keep saying point as singular, implying that there is only one) would be ridiculous.
That's why i don't believe there is a point to life.

we all have the same basic desire and profound need. We all want happiness, love and peace obviously.

how are humans so vastly different?

I know people who don't want love, asocial types for example. There are some people that just want to be alone.

nice try.
Now you're just reinforcing your own failure
but yeah, now that you've attempted to say that Jeffrey Dahmer and Mother Teresa are similar people, and actually attempted to continue with this line of logic, can't really say i respect your intelligence anymore
if you really believe that, especially. and if you don't then you've lost respect for this discussion and i'm wasting my time
 
There is no point in life. That is the absurdity of existence so discussed in existentialist philodophy.

You can kill yourself or find a meaning fo your life.

May love free us from havin to face the meaninglessness of ou existence .

Alcohol works sometimes instead of love too. Alcohol lasts less longer tho

But, there are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese!
Oh, there are no cats in America... So, set your mind at ease!

 
"What do we mean by saying that existence precedes essence? We mean that man first of all exists, encounters himself, surges up in the world – and defines himself afterwards. If man as the existentialist sees him is not definable, it is because to begin with he is nothing. He will not be anything until later, and then he will be what he makes of himself." Here it is made clear what is meant by Existentialists when they say meaning is "a consequence of engagement and commitment".
 
i retract that statement, actually, in case there is a god i do not want him/her to be mad at me.
 
None of these things are possible to understand from a 3rd dimensional perspective.
 
If they were we would be able to understand them. No one can give a verifiable explanation of any of these things from the perspective of this world. The origin of things like life and consciousness do seem to lie in another dimension and be out of our reach for the most part.
 
I agree, I'm not sure we will ever understand the origin of life and consciousness by studying things in the observable universe.
 
yeah, you cannot understand the nature of consciousness looking at the world, you must look at your consciousness with mindfulness.

At this point, I feel some people dont want to understand to legitimate their unsatisfaction and convince themselves they cannot change much or do much about their own happiness.
