Why try if we all die?

simple question.
Why try if we all die?
There is more to living than just this life. You can experience eternal life through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Why try if we all die?
I didn%26#039;t. Why did you?
Reply:I don%26#039;t see why eventually dying would have any implications on trying while you%26#039;re still alive.





unless you believe that any efforts you would give would only be felt after you%26#039;ve died, and you only care about what affects you directly rather than others around and those that would live after you%26#039;ve died.





but such things that can only be felt once you%26#039;ve died are very rare. and i think having an attitude where one only cares about how things directly affect them is bad because it is directly bad to others, and indirectly bad to you, worse than just trying for yourself.





for example traffic would move much smoother if everyone drove for the good of others and for the sake of having traffic flow. but what happens is people tend to drive only thinking about them getting places faster, so they drive how they think benifits them. but this makes congestion worse and actually slows them down in the present, and by spreading their behaviour to others will cause others to slow them down that way in the future as well.
Reply:because after we die, we will live again.





simple answer.
Reply:It%26#039;s the experience of only getting to do it once ever. Plus, it%26#039;s annoying to think like that.
Reply:As a Christian, I believe that the point of life is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others so they can go to Heaven and not hell. I have struggled with depression and entertained passing thoughts of suicide because of that very question (i%26#039;m just gonna die what is the point) Every time I have come back to the fact that I need to share the gospel and God has a plan for me.
Reply:because if no one tried before each of us than we%26#039;d have nothing to live on NOW. if we didn%26#039;t try, it would just be harder for all the people after us. We should live our life to the fullest and try [even if we all will die someday] so we can achieve as much as we can during the time we have to live.


what if no one tried to find a cure for diseases, or even a simple cold? seriously. we%26#039;d all die FASTER.


%26lt;3 hope i helped.

Reply:Human beings have a great instinct to survive. We could be in a hopeless situation, where there could be no route but death, and still we would try our best to get out of the situation.


Why?


Because that%26#039;s just what we are. It%26#039;s just what all beings are. You think an antelope doesn%26#039;t try to outrun the cheetah even if it may be impossible? Of course it fights. The animals just don%26#039;t ask %26quot;Why?%26quot;; perhaps they think %26quot;Why not?%26quot; Perhaps they know something about the afterlife that we don%26#039;t.


However, I%26#039;ve seen people that have given up. They don%26#039;t even seem..human in a sense. My Nanny had cancer, and I could see in her eyes that she was giving up. In such a long period of time like that, it breaks a person. One day she said, %26quot;I don%26#039;t want to live anymore.%26quot; and the next day she died.


Without this instinct, we wouldn%26#039;t live longer than a few days. Humans aren%26#039;t built this way; we%26#039;re constructed with plenty of hope in ourselves, whether we acknowledge it or not.


And besides, why give up the only thing you are only ever truly given? If He gives you one thing, it is life. Whether people appreciate it or not is one thing, or even if they don%26#039;t even notice it; subconciously, we all know this is all we have.
Reply:If we don%26#039;t try, what should we do while we wait for it.
Reply:We are living creatures with existence. It is within our nature to want to try just as it is natural for a plant to grow and survive, and then mature to reproduce. The same is true for animals and other living creatures.





In the end it is not because we consciously try but it is because of who and what we are a s species. We do what comes naturally and necessary in order to survive.





We die the same we we live. It is natural for that to happen. We do not try to die. Does that make sense?
