Your outlook on life

Since my last attempt at asking a simial question was locked.

I was wondering if people could share their Philosophy on life.
you know, like write something that best describes what you believe in, what will happen, how you should live your life.


Mine would be:

I've never believed in a God, but alwasy believed in something OUT there.
Like an afterlife, that we would see what we wanted to see. Live where we wanted to live.

I see Life as the great force of the world, Death as the great destroyer.

I believe in living life to the best of our abilities(something I havnt been following as of late)


I believe in Magick, and the forces of darkness.
I also believe that it can be used for very unselfish things


Your turn!

My outlook on life would be that it is just a bunch of stuff that happens. You tend to have an event happen in your life every now and then but you just have to make the occasional smart alec quip and try and enjoy everything that happens in life. Even when bad things happen, you can still see the beauty in the world aroud you, even if it's just little things, like making someone smile or someone making you smile.

So, yeah, my outlook on life: Just a bunch of stuff that happens, enjoy it.

By the way, have you noticed despite the rise in the cost of living how popular it remains?

The meaning of life is something I pursue, maybe not at regular rates but it is sometime to think about, at least in my case.

I guess I hold a perpetual mood of grimness and anxiety. Moments where I feel relaxed and content are rare, far in between. I'm always on the verge of being manically depressive, I think even if my scenario does not really call for it(read: overworry). I don't know, really. Everything positive that has happened to me has always seem outweighed by the corresponding negatives that always seem to sprang out of lurking everywhere-- just at my zenith, my highest points. I don't know, but as Mr Spork, it's a long sequence of events. And for everything, there is a consequence. Preachers have told me to beleive in religious entities and well, I chose God out of being raised in a Catholic school for so many years. I suppose I'm not devout, but I do beleive that there is a higher form of being. I call him God. And the idea of teaching ethical and moral values is what attracts me. Such a world we live in contains the ills of strife and human desire. But fact is, we are the ultimately flawed race of human beings. And I do beleive and I find it hard to grasp why so many people say I don't-- stuff ranging from listening to bands on MTV to swearing excessively. I'm scared of all people in general too-- I fear their emotions-- the masses being with happy is an image I don't see often enough(I never get off the right foot with people). And often my own as well. In the end though, I think that in life-- you should always try to attain that sweet inner peace that is always out of reach for some reason. I think I would feel a lot more happy and others would too. But for now, everything just seems bittersweet. My passion for life has just deterroirated over the years-- I understand I can't ever get what I want-- but it just seems that I don't get anything want. And to want, you must consider the need, right? Well, I don't know-- I think I'm driving myself into more wallowing of self pity and selfishness in the long run. Or maybe I'm just an idealist-- one of those lazy, but well, good meaning, that beleives you can acheive a state of happiness just by being kind and guileless. But yeah, that's just my thoughhts on it.

My outlook on life?

Life's a miracle. That can be hard to see sometimes, but it's true. Smiling can sometimes be the best medicine. The biggest gifts can come in the smallest packages. No creature is insignifigant. If there's a God, I don't believe S/He cares a whole lot about humans, or if S/He does, no more than he does about the rest of the life in the universe, including the smallest flea on a cat. I don't believe we're alone in the universe. I don't believe people are inherently evil or sinful. I believe all races, religions, ethinic groups, etc. are equal.

Little things count, sometimes more than big things.

Just making someone laugh can be one of the greatest gifts you can give someone.

All in all, I have a positive outlook on Life, the Universe, and Everything.

My outlook on life..

Live for what makes you happy. See.. I have family members who wanted me to get into medicine and teachers who wanted me to get into law and friends who thought that I'd suit some sort of career infront of a camera.. but I'm going for a career in radio. Everyone I know disapproves of this cause the money made in this industry (well, where I live) is CRAP. But I am passionate about talking and arguing and listening to others views.. and that's enough to make me overlook the terrible pay within the radio industry. It makes me happy and so that's all that matters.

I also believe in God. I've had a dark past. Let's just put it that way. But through it all, my faith has given me much strength and stability, especially during my hardest times. My faith is no where near perfect- it goes up and down. I'm still learning about my faith but it's a major part of me that I hold close to my heart and plays a big role on my outlook of life in general.

Take life one day at a time.. I've learned this the HARD way. Like I said... my dark past brought on many stressful days and I grew up a little too fast. I learned many things little ones shouldn't know.. but now I just take it all one day at a time. If I take it all in too fast, I'm just gonna end up hurting myself, and I have in the past.

Trust is something that I seldomly give away.. I don't trust people too easily. I'm quite cynical to be honest. I mean, I can speak to people easily enough cause I love to talk, but I've learned while growing up that trust is something that you can't give to just anyone- I have best friends who I still don't open completely to. Only one. Why am I like this? I'm not too sure really.. maybe I'm afraid to be hurt.. I dunno.. but it is a rule of mine that I stick by.

Be yourself.. haha- this one is one of my most important philosophies! I'm a weirdo compared to a lot of other girls that I know... but in being myself, I've found people who love me for me, and I refuse to be anything else^^.

Overall- my outlook on life is in some ways positve, a little strange and a little cynical.. but hey, that's me

I also have trouble trusting people. You can thank my brother, sister, and old friends for that. I also have this unusual habit to dispise every guy i see. I find it really difficult to trust them.... Here, where i live, guy's younger than me are imature idiots, and guys older than me are creeps. bleh, anyway.

I believe that people should be themselves. Pretending to be something just makes you unhappy. I just be myself. I like pokemon. I'm 14, almost 15, and i like pokemon. I'm not ashamed, i know its a kids thing, but i like it. I have my own rp site. Games and walkthroughs. I like yugioh, and inuyasha ( though i've only read inuyasha ). I don't like makeup, or swoon over every guy that walks past. Even my friends think i'm weird. But i be myself.
Now i'm blabbing.

I see life as a road. A poorly designed road filled with potholes. Each pothole is something like school, college, taxes, work, ect. The smooth parts of the road is things like gardens, beauty, ect. The road is oneway, so once you've past something, you can't go back. I reckon you gotta take the road seriously. You gotta be carefull what you do. Like, if you steal a car, it'll come back at you.

I don't get what i mean either.

I believe that we all can make a difference, but when the earth is no more, that there was really no point, so it seems kind of bleak to me, though I try to do what I can. I believe in God, but I also believe that in which one has faith, that's where he/she will go after they die. I am rather open-minded, and dislike nothing more than seeing people ruin their lives with stupid choices. I love seeing babies be born, because it's the sign of new life, and, to me, that's very, very special.

The meaning of life, in my opinion, is just to live to the best of your ability, experience great things, have fun, do as many good deeds as possible, and to live one's life as if you'll die the next day.

Rhea, I also grew up too fast. I am 14 and, if the majority of regulars on this forum didn't know that, they would think I was older, they've even said it themselves. It's not a good thing or a bad thing to live with. You get to appreciate what's important, but you also have less years to have fun and feel like a child.

Ok, anyone that knows me knows my philosophy on life, everyone wants to experience the beuty in outside life, but me, I want to experience the beuty of inner life by dreaming and someday comatising to experience a Coma Dream, ok thats a little deep and thats all I will discuss there.

I believe there is something greater then space its self, and life can be destoryed in a blink of an eyelid and created in a million blinking eyelids.

PM me if you think I am wierd, I am of course.

My outlook on life. In a nutshell.
*insert giant rant thingy here.....*
EDIT:
Stop and smell the flowers.

Maybe Im just dull or boring or whatever but I dont even bother thinking about God etc. In the end Im not gonig to learn anything about God in my lifetime; and when I do die if God is real I will know; if not I'll be gone and it wont effect me in any way :p

As for life; I just try to do whats best for me and my family/friends while trying to enjoy myself as much as I can

I think we're all just here to live and learn. Even if in the end our lives existed for no real reason, atleast we experienced life. Life is everything - pain or pleasure. Better to have given many lives an experience called life instead of having a big universe with no life whatsoever.

So I think life is great, in a way. It sucks in other ways, but those are just the stereotypical "sigh, dinner tastes like crap" complaints. I think it's good to have experienced things like food, games, friendship, etc.

SpellJammer always knew life was about love, but untill recently, didn't really know what love was all about.. And it was about life..

You see, SpellJammer's best friend Jennifer's boyfriend was kicked out of his house for having a fist-fight with his mother, she was tornup, her voice was weak and tired, she overslept by hours on end, she didn't want to talk to anyone, SpellJammer really feared for her health and well being. She use to cut herself and things, he wouldn't be suprised if Jennifer tried to commit suicide. So he had to act FAST..

So SpellJammer did a spell, normaly SpellJammer's spells never work, then again all his spells have been for selfish gain and the same priority time after time after time. "Companionship", "girlfriend", "someone that will love SpellJammer". But there was no time to think about that, calling her and nobody replying started to worry him immensely. (Normaly SpellJammer doesn't concern himself so much with anybody. Had this been ANYBODY else he would've said to get over it because Jeffory's a jerk anyway. Really, the guy threatend SpellJammer's life several times, doesn't want Jennifer hanging around her friends, is liberal, and just plain mean..)

But regardless of SpellJammer's immense feelings of hatred for Jeffory, for Jennifer's sake, he had to do something to make things alright. So he devised a spell so Jeffory's life would turn the tides for the better.. (He's going to college and wants to own a buisness, that's all we need, is more liberals in the line of coporate possession..) and things IMMIDEATLY got better. Jennifer was all happy and perky when she answerd the phone, they all went to the movies she said. (Which SpellJammer found odd, she didn't say anything about going to the movies.) She even meationed some movie SpellJammer nor her had even heard of but it was playing at the theatre.. Jeffory got a call from his father to come home, (How SpellJammer doesn't know..) if he promised not to fight with his sister again.

"I thought you said he fought with his mother?"
"No.."
SpellJammer knows he didn't hear her wrong, and was very shaken by that. Still am.. SpellJammer didn't even know he HAD a sister..

If ever there was a doubt in SpellJammer's mind about The Lord's presence, there isn't now.. This was just too bizzare to all be a quincidence. But SpellJammer made alot of sacrifices for Jennifer. For one politicaly he sabatoged himself if Jeffory does gain a buisness, secondly Jeffory is a complete jerkoff, they're still dating, and SpellJammer is still lonely and underappreciated.

But it fealt damn good to do something that helped somebody out.. SpellJammer always saw loving someone as a weakness, if they don't love you back, what do you get? Now SpellJammer knows, it's irrelevant if they love you back. The power of love is still power. Regardless of who's holding it.. And for a breif moment SpellJammer no longer cared about himself, or finding his soulmate, or even his own elightenment. Just the safety and smile of one sweet girl.. Selflessness is what's next to Godlyness..

Pete: Does that mean you'll do a spell so my job doesn't suck and I don't have to work has hard?
SpellJammer: Sure, as soon as SpellJammer gets a girlfriend. Take painkillers to ease your job pains like the rest of us sucker!

I belive that I will only die when I have forefilled my perpose, as I have mentioned in other topics, so I won't go into detail.
Noone and nothing will stand In my way when I realise what it is I must do.

I get obsessed with things for no reason, not because theyre more fun that something else, but because of something, I feel, is coming from deeper inside.
I will not give up hope.
