Why do we bother?!??????!!!?

Question

Sitting here, on my laptop, thinking about life and that "you only live once", that said, what is the point in having a job? What is the point in going to work 9-5 doing a boring job, just to end up dead anyway? Why not just live on benefits and have a million kids? Why bother at all?!

Answer 1

Who would pay your benefits if everybody decided to do the same thing?

Answer 2

well, remember, we still have to live in this world until we die...and why not make the most of it...a job could be part of that..

Answer 3

completely agree, but then we couldnt live if people didnt work.. and thats just life. x

Answer 4

u still have to take care of the kids still and sometimes it could get really expensive unfortunately poeple have to work   best solution find a job u really enjoy so that if u die later u still had fun  

Answer 5

lmao

you should work on that and set it to music, it could be the greatest lyric morrissey never wrote

maybe this question will give you an answer to your question

would you be attracted to a guy on benefits who just sat round all day watching trisha and loose women?

Answer 6

I like to think I work to live, not live to work.  How else can a self-respecting person have happiness and fulfillment in life.  What you described, living on benefits and having a million kids, sounds awful to me.  How can you feel good about yourself and what you are doing?  How can you feel like a good citizen, not contributing your part to this big old world?   How would you be able to do more, see more, be more if you commit yourself to welfare?  And yes, you only live once, so why not make it the best life you can muster?  Not just an exsistance.  

Answer 7

Sometimes i feel the same way !, not totally sure what's the real answer for it. Would make a great debate question

Sometimes i feel life is nothing but a big test  we are born and we all die.

Some day are the best  everything goes good and you recieve lots of unexpected money and party.

Some day you don't even want to get out of bed, or take care of ur kids let alone care if u were dead

Life is very confuzing and frustrating but also has its perks

But yes u have an interesting question!  good luck on finding the answer u want

Cheers

Answer 8

No one want's to do a job they hate, some people have to, and some people find something that they love doing. Dont just settle for something that just pays the bills (or give up altogether), do something worthwhile. Yeah, we will all die one day, but when Im on my death bed I will know I tried at least, if you do nothing you will regret it

Answer 9

Aww babes don't worry. You can still work, have children and go out clubbing and partying. Make the impossible things become possible. Come on, you go girl!

Answer 10

why do all english people think this way

dont you want more from live

Think its due to lack of ambition

Answer 11

Because those benefits come form peoples taxes, if everyone stopped working there would be no benefits.

Answer 12

I think what most people are missing is why do we have to sell our labour to live, why as a society do we have to work to contribute to the mass consumerism business.  Why can we not live simply, grow our own food and bake ourselves?   We have been brainwashed into believing that we should be working 40 hours a week for someone else!  Without those 40 hours we could spent the time living and working together as a family unit.  Money! we don't need it we just help each other and exchange goods, foods and tools.  Capitalism or any system for that matter does not change humans, for humans change systems as history shows and absolute power corrupts.
