Is life worth living?

by Excelsorsior AKA Xelsorsior

Created on: June 24, 2009   Last Updated: June 25, 2009

Since science has not evolved in respect to that of its own opinion and the philosophical philosophy of Existentialism, being a philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, who is known to have monopolized this term as being a self description, while opening the door to a cultural movement, we still find ourselves asking, Is Life Worth Living? Can we describe life as fiction or non-fiction?



A scientist bases an opinion of facts presented before hand to make the assumption of reality and thus forming laws that are suppose to be non-disputed fact. A scientist will concur that mathematics is a universal language and an axis to answer most any question. It is yet to be a scientific fact that mathematics is in-fact a universal language, since we invented this language and have to follow our set of rules to even interpret this language. If our rules are not followed, this language cannot be deciphered by ourselves, more or less by any other universal entity that would have an inclination in wanting to follow our rules of science and mathematics. Our rules may not apply to those that have the answers as to why life is worth living. I shall proceed into this further in another topic of interest.

As a child, I became aware of death before I became aware of my life at hand. There was no concern of life until death was introduced into my existence of life. When I became older and could understand the age or reasoning containing science and philosophy, a more noted interest of the value of life became ever more present. I am not skeptical of life. I enjoy a good breath of fresh air. For that matter, I also enjoy a bad breath of life sustaining air. The air that we breath. I do not look forward for death or rather, I should imply, that I am no longer afraid to die.

We breath death daily. As a scientist would agree, we do not give interest into how we breath or what we breath; we just breath, involuntarily, I might add. And what we breath is dust. What is dust comprised of? It is mainly dead flesh. The ground in which we walk upon has billions of years of dead flesh sustaining its flourishing and various forms of life. A life in which you live. Every rain drop that falls from the sky is formed by a particle of dust. Particles that a chemist may identify as also being a life sustaining value.

With the exponential value that is present, we may not accurately describe if life is worth living in a short topic as this. Many novels containing an essay layout with theoretical assumption with a leaning towards purpose, would explain hundreds of underlining reasons and explanations of cause and effect, while demonstrating the building blocks of a suspected life that is worth living.

As it stands. I am happy with my existence and find life worth living. Through pain and suffering, through pleasurable moments and in learning many informed opinions, I believe that all life is worth its privilege to experience what life is. Whether a life is aware of what life is or whether life is in constant struggle with what life is, life is alive and death produces more life. If you can read this or are able to listen to this, then I would suggest that you find life worth living as well. If you are able to calculate, then you do the math.
