What do you live for?

[AyeYo]

If I live for anything, it's giving people something that has use, bringing value directly to people, if you will. I unremorsefully live to serve others. Many consider this 'selfless' and sacrificial, I only see it as selfish as a pleasure can get.

Gah! Stop it! No matter how you try to explain it away, that is a totally shitty way to live. Live for yourself, and love yourself first. Knowing how to live for yourself, have fun by yourself, and live without needing others to base your hapiness on, or give your hapiness to, is the number one rule of being happy in life. Mainly because then you won't need others to love you, or admire you, for you to have any self worth (and it does sort of seem like you are hoping quite hard on this forum that others will admire or like you). Doing what you're saying you're doing is also a guaranteed way to totally f*uck yourself over with a relationship when you get stuck with someone you don't like, but feel you need them, or need someone to keep happy and to live for, and are afraid of being on your own again. This is also a way to make sure crap like depression and self-loathing are no longer a problem in your life (though stupid brain chemicals can still interfere sometimes).
After you stop that, then you can get pleasure from helping others, even if it's for selfish reasons.

Personally, I live for curiocity. Wanting to travel and see the world with its exotic cultures, foods, and architecture, wanting to learn about random stuff like history, philosophy, music, or interesting people, and wanting to learn about technology and see what the next big invention or gadget will be.

Can someone get me a foreveralone.jpg?

I live because I happen to be alive. I have no choice in the matter.
There is no purpose to life, but just like any other living thing I am forced by my nature to do whatever living things like me do, so that's what I do.
 ie avoid pain and seek pleasure (or find a neutral situation). Avoidance of pain seems to be the main priority though; pleasure is just a rare bonus. I'd run away if a war or famine came.

I live for more BTCs

[st4rdust]

Heroin. Had you caught me a couple of years earlier, though, the answer would have been much more idealistic.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Reclaimed barn wood, Bitcoin, good food, and pussy (albeit it's been a long dry spell). If you would have asked me 20 years ago, only two of them would have been on the list--and in reversed order.

I sure do miss my pussy:



I used to love the smell of a big fat pussy in the house.

Thai food, Yum Yum !!!!!

Fun - in a single word. Now, I find a lot of things fun, including, but not limited to drawing/animating/designing, hiking (preferably mountains), sex, collecting weird shit (from legos to cheap stringed instruments), playing (video games, RPGs, semi-violent sports, sex), music (playing, listening, jumping to) etc.

I'm way over 30, but still dream of having a more fun job than the current one (salesman)

Quit looking for a job! Look for an opportunity! You'll never have to work another day in your life, if your happy doing what you're doing. I quit working years ago, but currently enjoy greater value in what I'm happily doing now. VALUE? Damn you, Atlas!

[bithobo]

Currently, I'm working half time so I can pursue my own goals. It's not going too well, but I'm not really complaining

[TheHeroMember]

The "fun" part is the payday, other than that its no fun at all, lol.

Taking over the world.

[altuin]

Happiness. IMO, that involves at least 2 $10,000 computers, a steady, free supply of money, and every new game release that I want. Women and Drugs are purely optional.
