How Many Of You Know You're Alive?

[Me-Patch]

For real. How many of you know what you really are? How many of you realize that this is it, that this is all you're guaranteed, that this is when it's time to stop pretending and wating for the future, and it's time to be what you really want to be? That this is you're youth and it's never gonna happen again? That you should be living for real.

Go do it. Stop letting it slip away, go out and enjoy it now before it's too late.

I love you all.

[Head-Full-Of-Acid]

i love drugs too

[Sensationalism]

Sooo true. I think about that alot. How important every moment is and how it's all going to change and one day I'll be old but right now all I've got is right nowwww so pay attention and make it count.

[Mecha-Bear]

Why is it that people always mind fuck me on my weekend. I mean...I know what OP said fails in comparison to most mind fucks...but still.

Sometimes I forget I'm alive.

Weird how that part was playing as I browsed.

We all define 'living' differently. Just because you might get a great pleasure in going out with your peers drinking and trying to find some nice girl to take home doesn't mean I do. I have my pleasures in life and they aren't the typical type, but please stop assuming we're not living.

We're all living, living in the sense of breathing yes, but living nonetheless.

Life is whatever we choose to make it, not what we are told to make it.

I up to the challenge.

Woa woa whoa, I'm in a committed relationship, where did me taking home girls even come from? My point is that life is now. Life isn't waiting for us, but for some goddamn reason so many of us are waiting for life, and I'de rather spend 5 years living for real than 80 years going through the motions waiting for..... I don't know what.

I like you gagsy, we've talked before on here, you seem like a levelheaded cut-through-the-bullshit type, but I certaintly don't know how you live your life and I'm certaintly not about to tell you how to, or anyone else for that matter.

My whole point is this: Fuck our inhibitions, be what we want to be, behave how we want to behave, and do what we want to do in order to make this brief period of existance worth every second that we get out of it.

But remeber to allways try to do the right thing.

Life is a play. Test the limits and don't be afraid of the outcomes.

Everyone says "live life like today's your last day"

Well if I did, let's just say I would be marked absent to whole school day and I wouldn't have turned in my assignments.

It's hard to do something new with ur life everyday when ur stuck in mundane school.

Bingo Bango. Wether or not this incredibly brief bit of existance were all unwillingly thrust into is some sort of precurser to infinite life, or infinite death, it's still all we know. We shouldn't waste it, and we should treat it with great respect. When we waste it, it's only ourselves who lose.

"The right thing" and what we usually inhibit are VERY different things. You're not telling this advice to anyone who has thought of things like "I should help that youth being beaten up by four other youths, but I shouldn't". Quite the opposite really. The behaviours are inhibited for a reason, so we're not all raging alcoholic, drug-taking, murdering, violent, self-centred pieces of shit. No good comes from allowing every desire to run and frolic free. If you want to bring Freudian psychology into it, there's a good reason why the ID isn't allow to run the body without the Ego checking it because otherwise we'd be a danger to ourselves and others and EXTREMELY impulsive. The only thing I could suggest, using that model, is that there needs to be less of an influence by the super-ego upon ourselves, but it's what happens around us and our interpretation of the event that makes us who we are.

Oh no no no I wasn't implying that your were looking for girls to take home, just that was like a generalizing thing. Something I imagine a lot of users here do aim to do in an attempt to prove themselves 'living'.

That's good, this is what I was afraid of. As long as you're not we'll continue being all gravy baby.

See, I do actually disagree a bit here. Mainly because of my crippling fear of death/end of the world. I think I would rather live 80 miserable years then live 5 great years. I sound depressing as fuck because it is depressing. I'm not a very happy go person like yourself. Life has dealt too many joker cards and not enough aces and I'm somewhat used to that now.

I agree though that people (if they want) should do the most they can to live life to the full but for me it's a null point.

But remeber to allways try to do the right thing.

Always.

Alright I read it all twice just now, and I'm way too smashed to engage in a decent philisophical argument about the pros and cons of ihibition, but heres my whole point. How often do we know that we should have done something but didn't? How many times have we not done something because of your inihibitions and then completely regretted the missed oppurtunity. How much of our lives do we waste out of lazyness fear or apathy.

I'm not trying to tell anyone to fuck the law or fuck their lives up over fun, I'm just saying that one good night of being truley alive is worth 40 years of being a zombie, and that there are just too many ways that people end up wasting the best years of their lives, and that this world is just so fucking beautiful if we just figure out how to open our eyes once in a while.

No one has that philosophy on Newgrounds, because they are on Newgrounds. Don't you see?

I know where you're coming from. So many time I read through an entire front page of worthelss threads full of worthelss crap, or try to make a serious point that gets turned into a pile of half eaten shit somehow, but there is still always a core group of interchanging members who tow the entire bundle for the rest of these feebs. People that make this BBS worth coming to. And they are the reason I've been posting for the last 5 years.

The whole "You're on newgrounds everybody is a nerd/virgin" thing is an untrue steriotype, the regulars on this website are for the most part a realintellegent and worthwhile collection, and thats why this is the first forum I ever got into and the only one I've ever stuck with at all.

i got 1 woman on my "to do list"(pun kinda intented) and how everyone on gods green earth is trying to stop me and her from being together i find it fun a "challenge" sure it makes me sad when shes not with me but its gives me a reason to live a goal to be with her and with her on my mind all the time all of the usual things become moot compared to my love for her. i am willing to devote my life to her whatever she wants she gets :3 besides if she was with me i dont know really what do in the long run i am like a dog chasing a car i would never know what i would do if i caught one but its not like i would cheat on her she is ME but a female and thats what i like i never had a person to talk too when growing up and i might just change that and with that as a reward i will not end until 2 things happen

life doesn't matter on both a local and grand scale
may as well spend it doing what's best for me: enjoying myself in responsible ways

some people change the world for better or worse, but nobody was ever considered obligated to do so

[megakill]

ive just woken up, and you hit me with this shit?

your being too serious, and i want you to stop it! stop it now!

[GiantDouche]

I think therefore I am.

[Chymeraxe]

Oh you positive self talkers.

I know what I am so it's all good.
