    What keeps you motivated to live?

    I'm curious mmo-champers, what keeps you motivated to live?


    Is it a sense of purpose? Is it a sense of a (hopefully not) delusional importance? I wonder.....



    Why do we cling to life like we do? Whats the point?



    Personally, I see a lot coming from me, so i'm excited to see what turns out to be.


    What about you?

    Mortality! The gift of having one single life to succeed! Why would I throw that away?!

    I'm mostly just curious how the "future" will look like.

    Nothing keeps me motivated to live, I have no life now - and I don't have the money to change that.

    I am only alive today because some screwy evolutionary thing makes me too scared to kill myself.

    I belong to one of the least naturally resilient races on the face of this planet, and my instinctual reply to any challenge is "BRING IT ON, BRO!".

    In all seriousness, it is the little things to me. The particular smell of freshly fallen snow, hanging out with people I truly care about, always wanting to help people with problems and sometimes succeeding.

    And food. Seriously, I am practically religious when it comes to food.
    If you add me on Steam, Skype or whatever program/client I share my info for, please write something to identify you in the "Dude/gal wants to join your club"-message. Just so I know that an actual human is on the other end :P

    Because if I cease to live, then there'd be some very sad people, and it pains me to make people sad...

    If I think about it, I don't really have anything that motivates me to live. Kinda shitty when you realize something like that. But, I'm gonna keep on going anyway. Wake, work, sleep.

    Because I enjoy living mainly, living the best and longest thing I'll ever do so I'd like to keep it going as long as I can.

    To keep my family happy as well as human survival instinct. Mentally, outside of fear of the unknown, I don't really mind death and sometimes think about it. I feel extremely bad though when I make others sad, the thought of hurting others is heart wrenching for me.

    Also, I don't have any 1-up shrooms.

    I had a reason to live before, but now I don't. House, marriage, plans...all gone.

    As someone else said before, I'm too terrified to come face to face with death for whatever reason to off myself. I'm happy other people are happy, I'm just not anymore.

    I used to love life, now I hate it.

    Who's to say i'm not already dead, if not inside? /violin

    but no really, because I've never been one to quit even when the pain is too much. :P I'm a glutton for punishment lol. Also, always curious as to what might happen if we just waited 24 more hours, you know?
    "Why of course the people don't want war…. But, after all… it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

    I wish I could say the same thing. I've never really liked mine, but *shrug*. At least I enjoy making others happy ^_^
