Nihilistic Splendor

What is the purpose of life
If not only to suffer from pain and agony
Until the ultimate and untimely judgment of death?
Only unproven reliances are stated
Among the existence of mankind.
There is no goal...
No happiness... No ascendancy No prevalence...
And in the end...
There will be nothing at all.
Is the only "goal" for human existence
To thrive for infinity?
If life only gives us malady and anguish,
Why continue?
Perfection can never occur.
Only chaos is brought upon by perfection
For the sake of being perfect!
Survival is part of the humans aptitude.
But tell me,
What is the purpose of survival when we,
Well knowing, mind you,
Will perish in the end?
We have too much control
Over our capacity of cognizance.
Too much complex involvement
Between the nexus of the spirit, heart, and mind.
Nihilism is a grand thing isn't it?

Perfect last line. Interesting thoughts here and ones that have found themselves teeming through my mind at one time or another. It can make one go mad. And all I've ever come up with in answer to what the point of life is ... is to live. The point of life, is simply to live. Not survive, not exist, but truly live. This was wondefully written. So full of valid questions and reasonings. Great post!

| For the sake of being perfect, I think this sums up the most difficult way to go through life expecting everything to be perfect and that somehow life owes us. Having worked and experienced time with people whose lives are ebbing away,I think you learn that your next day is a gift and that those moments of happiness and experiences good and bad are what we live for. good thought provoking write. |

| A simple yet profound philosophy you have here. And the basis of many peaceful beliefs - when still nothing remains unchanged. I cant wait for the day when the world finds complete balance. The art of doing, by not doing. |
