I’m not depressed (at the moment, well maybe a little), just feeling philosophical.

Edit: the idea of this came to me because I was pondering why people fight so hard to beat diseases and live a few more years. What are they planning to do? Why exert effort just to be here longer when you don’t have a reason?

Just why?

    I don’t believe life has a meaning. I don’t believe that anybody has a reason to be here, in any kind of grand scheme of things.

    However, if somebody finds something that they enjoy, they might find they want more of that feeling, and choose to stick around to get it.

    Most living things want to continue living. Whether that’s because death is scary and potentially unpleasant in a few different ways, or because they’ve become attached to something in the world.

    That’s why I think some people fight diseases to live a few more years. They might not be planning on anything specific, other than just not dying.
