If I left here tomorrow would you still remember me?

Shinobi... that is one crazy idea. Despite the fact that I don't know you, I have read a couple of your posts and I thought you had greater understanding. How could you possibly condense all that life has to offer into 2 weeks? Life isn't about eating in fancy restaurants, screwing whoever you want to, or trips to Europe. Of course all of that is part of it, but life is so much more. Life is about the journey, not the individual things you stop to see along the way. It is about love and friendships that are forged over a period of many years. It is about the archive of millions of memories that you build upon as you grow. How do you value the look that a loved one gives you after sharing a lifetime together and knowing that that person chose YOU to spend their lives with? I couldn't even scratch the surface of what life has to offer in 2 weeks. No offence intended by the way. Just my rambling thoughts

This IS NOT MY POINT OF VIEW

It was just an idea, a thought if you will. I have no plans of killing myself in any manner. I just wanted opinions on this theory I had.
I tend to think a lot about different theorys on life and such. This is one of many.

By the way, the US rave scene sounds awesome. I really have to come over. Quick question though... if I were to visit Anytown, USA would I find a thriving scene or is it just restricted to the larger cities?
 
Of course I'll remember you...as longest you give me something to remember about

Damn, I kept reading hoping that no one would make my point but ECstatic brought it up. For me life IS Love. There is no way that you could condense love into two weeks. Love is something that is life long and there would be no point in giving up everything for two weeks. I get what your saying and I used to think like that. But thats the selfish way of living. Before I got into parties and pills I was all about money, cars, clothes etc etc. but now I could honestly give a shit less what car I drive, just as long as it gets me to my friends. My only motivation now for going to college is my future wife and kids (neither of which I have yet) because I want them to have the best things in the world. So if I blew everything on two weeks that wouldn't ruin my life, it would ruin theirs. Ok well I'm done rambling and hopefully that made sense. Thank you for the topic

I don't often come up with things I'd call exactly wise LOL. But, being as how it's relevant to this thread, there is something I stumbled upon during my first ever "real" trip. You know, that profound experience type stuff? Anyway... it's not a new thought, it's hardly origional at all, but it hit me like a ton of bricks, so here goes.
I was thinking about how we spend our whole lives working, doing what we "should" because we just *know* that if we do a good job, there will be this big payout at the end...
As I was tripping balls I had this lovely "vision" of getting to that end, and seeing people standing there, expectant for this big payout for a job well done, only to be received with shock...
"What do you mean you spent your whole life working and being miserable? What payout? You were given a gift, didn't you enjoy it?!"
That whole life is meant to be enjoyed epiphany. All I can say is that I was thankful for it, and it led to levels of clarity I'm still trying to sort out... *shrug*

I have reviewed the topic. I still stand that life can be condensed, atleast for me personally. This for sure would be circumstancal as anything with life altering decisions are.
I suppose its on what you place values on. If its love = a good life, then it would improbably to only live 2 weeks. I personally enjoy the idea of that, but in my heart of hearts don't ever see myself finding that love. I havn't cast away the possiblity, but I know my past, and I am a creature who will never be able to love or be loved in the fullest due to my past. Those who know me well, no what I am refering to.
So I say its a basis on values. If ones values are materlistic, this would be more fesable. If they aren't, its highly imporbable.

Shinobi,
Please read "The Myth of Sisyphus." The book is a bit dense, but it poses an interesting question and provides a philosophical answer. Is life worth living? Basically, why do we choose to live our lives rather than kill ourselves?
I have my own answer...Life is a series of endless experiences. I will never kill myself because I have yet to partake in all that life has to offer. The mere possibility that there is more out there for me to gain and experience is enough to keep me going!!
 
All of this life in so many waking moments that we are witness to is beauty.
I know that I just noticed the flight of birds, even low flyers in the airways above our roadways. Birds are tremendous creatures of movement. I love watching their quick flights and long hangings overhead.
Still your mind enough away from your everyday worries and future plans to find your cog space in the machine of our modern society of change, and I am sure you will find that the Now has so much to offer you in the way of beauty and purpose.
Just my thoughts on all this...
I live this way for a good part of everyday.
Just look all around. Life is wonderful.
Go play. Go run under a sprinkler.

Noodle/Soulfly,
Well .. I still stand by the fact that life can be condensed .. but perhaps now I realize that isn't the right choice. For some reason we are given the gift of life and if we choose not to explore it it's our loss not anyone elses. You can only recieve so much and I believe how much you give will determine how much you have in return. To end life prematurly would probably yeild a result of little to next to nothing in return.
