i don't see what capos have to do with marijuana. anyway, yes, you need a invite code from a user in order to create an account. if you want one, i can give you one. contact me if you'd like one.

I see you have a livejournal site, when i checked a while ago it said i needed a password from someone who had one, do you know how that works?

If there was a reason to live, life would be even worse because we'd be spending all our time trying to fulfil it.


Imagine a world without hypothetical situations...

"I want a diamond, I really do
I think that you should give me one
Then you can prove your love is true
And that the gift giving has just begun

I want that diamond, I want that thing
A tennis bracelet, a ring
It better shine, it better cut
I know it is expensive but...

What other way can you make four months of your measely salary last a lifetime
And what other thing have I ever asked you for
Besides...
The ability to read my mind
And I didn't get that either, Yet

I want that diamond, I want it so
All of my irritating friends will know
That I have worth, not only that
But that you love me even though I'm fat

I want that thing, I want it now
I'll say it once, I don't care how you get it
You can rob a store, There just is nothing I want more
Than diamond jewelry for me
And I'll talk louder so you see how very much it means to me!
Even some little stud earrings
Give me the goddamned diamond!!!"
- Rasputina, "Diamond mind"

Seems to me one without faith in god(s) can not have a subjective motive to continue to live. These people who obviously live for others, objectively, in one way or another then have to provide an excuse or reason for why their loved ones should continue to exist. (Why should my five year live out his life?) At this point any reason givin can be held, in some regard, as a selfish reason on the part of the questioner. So how can other people be a reason to continue one's existence

As far as I can see, there is no reason to live. So long as you don't have a reason to die you're set.

@ssecret132: What does god have to do with this?


Life is pain. Thank god for morphine.

ahh I finally get what your saying, I think.
Well where does it state that people do not have selfish reasons for wanting other people to live?

If 2 people were to love another, they both want each other to live so they can enjoy their love together. Both have a selfish reason for wanting the other to live.

You seem to argue with me a lot lol. It'd make things worse because it'd be all stressful like and if we failed we'd become more dissatisfied.

And as for god/desses they may well exist but there's no point in religion or even beginning to understand god/desses because their omnipotence etc would be to out of reach for mere mortals.

i live my life day to day trying to come to terms of why i'm even here in the first place and why the fuck don't they make pre toasted toast. wouldn't the world be simpler with pre toasted toast.


"Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unwanted, unbidden,
it will stir. Open it's jaws, and howl. It speaks to us, guides us. Passion rules
us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our
finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief.
It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we can live without passion, maybe
we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and
dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead." - Angel
