Love is pointless

EDIT: Now read that back to me in a deep feminine british voice you hear narrating one of those wildlife documentaries.

If you're gonna fantasize about a wild-life documentary narrator to read your paragraph's, don't just go for some nameless person. Go for Attenborough! Go big or go home!

For you, thread.

But no, really, a lot of the discussion here seems to shout 'life is pointless' more than 'love is pointless'. Life is pointless until you make a point out of it, even if everything is fleeting that makes it all the more important if it's enjoyable. Love isn't exactly pointless btw, but it's an abstract term and means nothing until you make it concrete through your actions, creations, decisions, and sacrifices. To me it's a synonym for dedication. And lots of good for lots of people comes from dedication. So long as you're not dedicated to something terrible.
 
i dont rly understand why people care if their lives are pointless? im just here to get rich and have all the stuff i want

not myself in particular but i think a lot of people long for a purpose. if anything i think your life being pointless just gives you more freedom

plus value is decided by our opinions theres no real definition of pointless
 
What would we be if we didn't have emotions? If sadness, happiness, anger, fear, etc didn't exist? We'd be robots. Life would be boring. Love is just another part of life that makes us human and unique from each other.

So no, I don't think that love is pointless because it's just another deep emotion that makes us human. It's something else that people have in common and brings people together, whether it's with family, friends or whoever.

If you're finding life itself pointless then you're in the wrong place. Live. Make it worth your while. Try something new (not drugs), and if you screw up or embarrass yourself then just remember; one day you'll be dead and it won't matter anymore. :lemon: Just keep moving forward.

Also, the topic of this thread is all over the place lmao. Life, love or kindness?
 
Have you been reading the poem "Solitude?" You should just try figuring out what you want to do with your life and then do it. I didn't know what I wanted to do for years so I joined the military and when I got out 7 years later, I went to school and changed my major a few times and then I finally think I figured it out. When I start my career I think it will all be worth it. I think if you have a reasonable amount of competence and motivation you can do anything. Don't be too discouraged. I agree that everything seems pointless if you think about it too much, so just do what makes you happy. If I think too much about the world and whatever, I get terribly depressed, so I try not to think about it often. I have never had an issue with being too nice though. Maybe you would be happier as more of a *****.
 
I think love is everything. Without love, there is no meaning to life. I have no trouble believing in the importance of love and it's something I must always surround myself with and emit to others. I think love is life and life is love.
 
Life is all what you make of it.
If you're sad, then you're going to continue being sad if you don't change your mindset. Same with any other negative emotion.
If you find love pointless then guess what? It's going to remain pointless to you cause that's what you think of it.
Hey, I don't know what's your past love was like or if you ever experience love, who knows?
Base on the couples of replies I've seen and what you stated, that you have to be nice to get love?
I was myself if I like someone, I'm not going to change up just to impress you. Even in my past relationships, I was myself. That's being comfortable. If me and my partner are comfortable with each other, that's bliss. If I'm nervous all the time or feeling flustered, that's not comfortable. It's not even cute either. But it all depends on your cup of tea.
 
Honestly these threads sound like depressed people wrote them. But okay I'll bite

I forgot who said it here already, cause I was skimming through it. But basically they seemed to say "If you look at it from a scientific viewpoint" Well here's me trying to be scientific *puts on shades and labcoat on, reading off clipboard* "So. You're saying Love is pointless, if we didn't have love on Earth. Nobody would be breathing right now because who wants to have Sex with someone they don't love. So love is therefore NOT pointless, otherwise you're either A) a prostitute B) a slut or D) all of the above ( ͡? ͜ʖ ͡?)" *takes shades off, throws away clipboard, rips up the labcoat*

Therefore love is not pointless.
Again you all sound depressed like what the F-U-C-K is up with that.

Besides, would you rather have every single country bombing each other? I view love as understanding, care, and trust. That's what love means to me, and probably a lot of people. Because you need Understanding, Care, and Trust to Love. If nobody had Love, half the world (or more) would probably be destroyed due to lack of Love.
 
I don't really give a **** about finding someone to love or someone that loves me, or spending my life with other people. Ultimately I am the one that can fulfill my life and give it meaning, it's nobody else's job to do that. As for dying alone, well, that's a given, even if you do have a significant other or a family, chances are you won't be together all the time 24/7 anyway.

i think love is a good thing but i dont think its right to justify it with sex. i think if two people really love each other the love wouldnt need sex to thrive. i understand what youre saying but i dont think reproduction is all that important either when it comes to love

I think love is a good thing. Even if you break up, that doesn't mean it was pointless. You had fun while it lasted, and probably learnt a lot too.

Also, life isn't necessarily pointless - I mean no, there isn't some ultimate goal that life is for, but life is what you make of it.
 
Being too nice isn't a bad thing lol?

Maybe if you're being "too nice" with the people you're surrounded by and they're taking advantage of you then you should question their actions instead of your own.

It's exactly the same as "this girl's really horrible to us all the time, it must be out fault" only opposite.

Love isn't pointless. Odds are that most of you guys are too young to even know what love even is. Like I even remember when I was like 15 and I used to send my close female friend messages like "I think I'm in love with you" on freaking msn and thought those feelings were legit

I don't know if what I'm about to say will even make sense, but. I was just giving an example as to why love isn't entirely 'pointless.' I mean no, you don't have to have sex in order to love someone else, you can do other things, and you would still love that person. Sex isn't the only thing that you can do with someone you love. Don't know if this makes sense, still.

Also, usually you don't have sex with someone unless your in love. If you do, that's weird. But still, Sex isn't automatically Love. I hope I'm making sense here.
 
I sometimes think it's all entirely stupid how people perceive "love". I mean, at the end of the day we're creatures andthe sole purpose of our existence is to pass on our genes and prolong our species for as long as possible, like every other living thing on the planet.

Like from a foreign non-human perspective love must seem a totally stupid concept.
