I think live is not for one self; it's for everyone around us. People say to do good in the world will do you good, and that's true. Whatever we do in the here and now will stay forever, even if we don't notice. I've got to say, I don't think I have anything I will ever do to help the whole world, but everything helps. Really. I truly believe in that. Everything we have, may it burn down or else, will change our surroundings, for better or for worse doesn't matter. Our lives will live on forever and ever, in the memories of mother earth.

@Willow Evermore: Keep going! I wish you good luck!

I see life as something precious. I think you see like different and value it more if you've been through a hard time, knowing what it's like not wanting to live anylonger and so on. Maybe that you get more understanding for other peoples and so on, life-experiences, you know.
Even though there are times when I don't feel like living, I always try to think of life as something precious. We are lucky that we were born on this kind of place, we could have been fighting in a war against our wills somewhere far away in another part of the world.

The question is very vague , but I suppose that's what makes a good discussion lol. There are many things I value; such as friends, family, my goals/desires, beliefs and morals. It's very difficult to list everything that I value, because there is many.

As for the second part of the question (I see it as two parts instead of one), I see life as very controversal. Life is full of contradictions

This is a funny topic. I am actually Buddhist, and as a Buddhist life for us is full of the meaning you put towards it. As well, life is meant to find happiness for ones self.

I agree with Maskrosen. ^_^
Life would be sad if you don't enjoy it, but life with value can come with hardships and stuff like that. Life is indeed precious and one should not waste it, but staying on the computer isn't exactly wasting either. For me, it's to help other people out and to experience all the awesome stuff that life has to offer. As long as I'm happy, then life is good.

I also agree with Maskrosen. If you had no fun life would not be worth living but life can't always be fun.

I also think that Family and Friends make life all the better. Family is one of the most important things in my life. Friends help cheer me up when I can't find a reason to smile.

For me, life is the most valuable thing in the universe. A person only gets one chance at it (no matter how crappy it's been lived). Given the thought of the possibility of reincarnation, I believe that the life lived by an individual--that certain space and time and energy--can never be replaced, recreated, reused, &c.
