If someone told you YOU HAVE ONLY 6 MONTHS TO LIVE,what would you do?

[iwanttodie019]

my point is that i don't really care about the memory, i'd only be focused in the present. it doesn't matter if it's "for nothing" because what i care about is the very moment happening right now.

IT would still be pointless though.LIFE IS A LOSE LOSE SITUATION FOR LITERALLY EVERYONE.

You've just answered your own question I think. We would do these things because they mattered in the moment- while we are alive.

Of course, if your enjoyment or non enjoyment of things hinges entirely on it's meaningfulness then- fair enough- why bother doing things you don't find meanigful/ satisfying?

And- it's down to preference too. Some people would genuinely prefer to do nothing. Others would want to sky dive, learn to paint or visit Australia or whatever.

Again though- for many people I imagine- the fact that something is pointless in the grand scheme of things doesn't diminish the dopamine/ endorphin rush they receive from doing it in the present monent.

I suppose I find it more curious that it seems to upset/ annoy you that people would choose to have their own version of fun in their last six months. Why does it matter what they do? It's meaningless anyway- like you say. It won't make a difference in six months time.

They will probably still insist though- that they were happier in those six months leading up to death- than you. Which again- won't matter eventually but- right now- it matters to them. Would you prefer it if they sit at home and do nothing too? But then- why? Why would it matter to you what they chose to do? Is it annoying that some people find meaningless things fun?

If there is no point to doing anything, why are you here arguing this point so much?

You noticed that too eh? He didn't like the answers he got. But no one is here trying to change his mind. Just speaking our truth.

BUT What would be the point of enjoying if after death,you will not remember having enjoyed .That's my point

First of all, it's pointless for you. For someone else, as demonstrated by others writing here - might be totally opposite. I know it's hard to imagine but not everyone must share your point of view.
Second, any discussion or question asked on any topic is pointless if one or more parties involved refuse to even try to understand other side. And i'm not even talking about agreeing here. Just "simple" understanding or acknowledging that there's other possibility. You clearly demonstrated that you are unable or unwilling to even ponder any point of view other than your own. Spamming same question over and over again while ignoring all the answers provided doesn't make you right.

As for quoted question, let me ask this - what's the point in suffering during this remaining time then? Given that there's no afterlife or it's total "memory reboot" (love that tune by the way) you won't remember a thing either way, no matter if you spend it in misery or in joy. But, you still will have to spend it, feel it, experience every second of those discussed 6 months. You prefer agony or joy during that time? Personally i don't have any joy bringing activities atm, that's why i asked for reducing given time but should i have any, i'd take them. I don't give flying intercourse that i won't remember them after death. Lack of memories after i kick the bucket wouldn't diminish their value for me while i'm still breathing. After i die, i wont feel a thing. But before i do, i still feel quite a lot. And i'd rather have some pleasant things to feel if possible.
