Sometimes i always think what's the purpose why people keep alive.There are lots of pain in our life,you have to work hard to earn adequate money to pay the high living,to buy a apartment, you have to suffer from disease,sometimes you have to face the challenge alone. If you are a soldier, you have to risk your life to implement the prefectorial commands.Most of the people usually lead a hard life or lead a rough life,everything goes wrong maybe.Your great idealities have gone away from you ,you lost yourself.Even though everybody has to be dead,few people want to kill themselves.I want to know what's the purpose why people keep alive,what they can get from their lives.If you can keep alive for ever ,whether you never want to die.

Not everyone has a life full of terrible things to deal with but some people do have sadness and hard times. Working hard is rewarded by money to spend on building towards a future, a home and a family. Others work and save to travel see new places and make new friends. IMO its thinking and dwelling on the negative that makes alot of things go wrong, though alot of things in life we cannot control,our happiness shouldnt be one of them. We are responsible for our own happiness if we dont like something we work to turn it around so we like it. Every cloud has a silver lining you just have to know where to look.

Life is full of challanges, especially right now with the way the econmy is.. Life is worth it though... Look at life in a different aspect.. Finding out your or your partner is pregant, the excitiment of waiting for the child to be born... and then finally having that child in your arms for the first time... Siting in study hall waiting for that final bell to ring because the weekend starts... spending time with friends... The day you turn 18 and you are able to stay out all night if you want to... without worrying about curfew... These may seem like simple things in life.. and they don't seem to make everything else worth it... Just remember a whole lot of little things will add up to one huge "good" puzzle of life, that turns into a beauitful picture.. and that is why its important to keep moving forward, and in the hardest of times... just take it one moment at a time.. Have faith that things will get better, and it will..

Hey, Well I think that it would be even worse to not be alive, you do not exist, their is no work, no wisdom, no money, no nothing! So I think that we should still stay alive, even though life may be tough. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

People keep alive as there's not always pain, there are also joys in life. There are more blessings than misfortunes. We are blessed with loved ones and families. Though there are trials but these are just challenges that inspire us to face life and achieve success. There maybe disappointments and failures but these give us strength to go on as at the end of the day, smiles and happiness await us.

The 'purpose' of living alive are of many reasons. God creates lives and "the creator" has the ultimate authority to decide.But,if you are fustrated due to 'some' reasons take a vacation. I have done that and got the result.My friend nature has given us many things to enjoy.So the enjoy the life at the 'fullest'.

Each person has his own purpose in life.I agree with what you state that life has a lot of pain to endure,work hard hard to earn money and etc but those are simply the struggles and obstacles that you have to face in order for you to gain success in life. Also being a soldier brings a lot of honor and dignity to the country though i may say that they have to sacrifice themselves to protect the country but haven't you been wondering why they chose to be like that?they can obviously apply to other jobs such as clerks,welder,engineer or whatsoever to think that they've graduated from college. It's because that's their purpose in life...to be a soldier to protect the countrymen...so why not ask yourself again what's your purpose why are you still alive?maybe you can find answers to your questions...

Ants live that way. Not knowing what they're living for. I mean in a life where all you have to do is work, day in day out. They dont even get compensated for it enough. But when you look at humans, We are kinda the same. The ants, well they know they're working for a bigger cause. This we humans tend to forget most of our mortal lives. I mean to say, We know we're living for a greater cause. We just dont know what it is or how to put it in words. For hundreds of years, we've looked that sky to search for this reason. They've named it and given it terms like religion and faith and such. And the agony is, thay sometimes we dont even realise that these reasons could be just around us. I mean, ambulances, police cars, bright lights, caskets and ppl crying. Its not just limited to that. Heck even elephants are know to perform cremation ceremonies. But memories, thats where we try to make our places. I mean records will burn down, memorials will turn to dust over a period and graveyards will be moved or disposed at some stage. But ppl dont forget. I'd like to leave it incomplete at this stage. If I make anyone wonder or boo over my speech I dont care. If I make just one guy think about this after he shuts down his computer. Consider it my greater cause.

The thing that keep people alive is the hope attached with the morrow. Yesterday was a past and whatsoever it brought is at your hand today you saw and tomorrow is unseen and that unseen keeps the thread of life intact. If you had read the play by Samuel Becket "Waiting for Godot: you would realise what is hope and why we are still alive as we have nothing to cheer about.

In my opinion, the purpose why people keep alive is enjoying the life, no matter what our life like. For us, the life is so short, and many experience we have to encounter. No matter the suitable or the hard life, we just to enloy it. No complaints,no disappointment.

The purpose for it is to live your life to the fullest in accordance with good deeds and work.God gave us the life for us to discover the reality as a human being , how to be happy, sad, afraid, surprise in life. Through this different feelings we know the meaning of life. There is a purpose why we are still alive depending to our skills and talents wether we can share and not without expecting gppd response to the one we have done it. Knows how to say gratefulness to Him whatever accomplishment she/he did.
