just wondering whether most getbiggers would consider themselves happy or not.
And did bodybuilding make your life happier?
-
Happy yes, content no, and going to the gym makes me feel healthy. When I don't goto the gym I feel like dog shit.
-
As happy as a fat baby.... :D

Yes and No

Being happy has a lot to do with something to look forward to in the future so I am very happy
-
No
Yes and No
why yes, why no?
-

what do you look forward to?
-
why yes, why no?
Yes because more confident, happy with my looks, more drive and focus also for other aspects in life, being able to approach people and things on a whole different level.
No cause it takes a lotta time, effort and energy you could probably use better in other areas of life plus it turns you into a social outlaw to an extent always tilting at windmills.

You mean bodybuilding turned you into a social outlaw? How did that happen?

Cause I was busy with training, eating and injecting needles while all my friends were out there partying, chasing sluts and smoking pot?
-
I am healthy, I have a good job for life which I really enjoy, a good family i like and I have no debt or worries other than silly unimportant shit.
Lifting weights is a hobby but I really enjoy it and I don't know how much it adds to me life but i have found that it detracts nothing.
-
I would not consider myself a happy person, nor would I consider myself a sad person. I consider myself to be "neutral" I am neither happy nor sad. I don't know, it is sort of hard to explain. I guess its impossible not to feel anything, so saying I am neither happy nor sad is probably not true. I think I just fall somewhere in the middle.
Bodybuilding is definitely a good stress reliever for me. If I dont go to the gym I feel like shit, mentally and physically. It is definitely "addicting" in that sense. No matter what the people say to you on here, they are "addicted" to bodybuilding. Most people on here will not take months off from the gym unless they really have to. so yeah, i guess it has added a little happiness to my life.

NO!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I wonder how come some people are depressed even they have everything in order in their life. They have their
30k 300k job, they train hard, they can afford a vacation...
... I mean, if you have a good life, be happy about it! You don't have no stress!

But as boring as it gets. Sometimes I think a struggle is even way more exciting and entertaining than a pathetic podsnap lifestyle.
Either super-loaded (with a douzen of topmodel golddigger whores on your yacht), influential (making decisions affecting the entire world) or fighting for survival day for day being a tough underdog/problem child ;D. The worst part is actually in the middle. Rotting with your fucking wife and kids in your suburban house cutting the grass and washing your car on the weekends and watching "Greys anatomy" in the evening, kill yourself!! ;D

Having a life that is or isn't fucked,
feeling good about shit,
and being content,
are very different thing.
The important thing is everyone has an ability to select what they want for as there biggest problem.
People do create there own problems, but the catch is everyone needs negativity their our brains are wired for this shit, just as our eyes are set up for darkness and colour.
-
Basically life is completely worthless if you aren't able to sleep with any woman you want to.
-
Yes true the above,
lol, in the past, when I got a good looking hottie see me naked it was a good week... now days it's just a good afternoon, so basicly I would need a hot girl every other day.
When you know about great things, but your life is avarage, it's hard to be happy about the things you have. Like this summer when I got in the accident, 3 months I was saying "all i need is my health"... well now I'm starting getting my health back, now I want to be a superstar again, but no means to really strive for it. When I get to that super star status, then I do the eminem and bitch about how good my life is ::)
so what's the truth... when you have everything, your life sucks. When you don't have anything your life sucks. When you're inbetween your life sucks..... what is the truth... there has to be something fullfilling, there has to be...
-
Basically life is completely worthless if you aren't able to sleep with any woman you want to.
That goes to my theory of you select your own problems. How you select your negativity defines your mix. Discontent, unhappy, depressed, stressed etc.
If you have no problems, and your brain doesn't have a source of negavity, therefore your brain creates one itself and makes you depressed.
Our brains were designed to always have a source of negativity. The problem is when the source of negativity leaves you with no options.
If you say all women are sluts and that's your negativity than you have no options no way to progress and no way out(depression). If you say no women will be with you unless you advance you are no longer depressed but discontent, as long as you are persuing the solution.
If your way out is through advancement, but you aren't doing the right thing you will become unhappy.

Yes I am Happy!

The feeling that you are overcoming your negatives is the only source of happiness, and it's relative happiness, I call it being discontent, as soon as you become content with shit(all I need is pussy) your brain switches to depression.

eastern philosophy encourages people to be happy what they have, meditate and be one with everything and blablabla, all that shizzle. That when you conquer a galaxy you are still unhappy because you realise there are other galaxys to conquer so you are never happy. The biggest problems in human history is due to people wanting more even though their life was just perfect.
Western philosophy is the opposite. You can't achieve enough, because too much is never enough, more more more, then you are happy. And to do all that only so you can show off to people and make them worship you as an idol perhaps. Having your "legacy".
I think that for me, western philosophy is the ideal in order to be happy, actually. But I want sustainabilty. When I lose everything I should be happy, when I gain, I'm just as happy...

happy as fuck. Did lifting weights help? Not directly, but as my great wife doesn't like skinny bastards, it did help in a way.
-

an obvious misspell, I fixed it for you, stud ::) ;D
-
Not happy, but that's not a goal anymore because being happy comes or goes.
No need to artificially put a stranglehold on it - doesn't work.
I live from moment to moment... sometimes I feel like king of the world than the opposite.
I make sure to have some form of training every day(weight, sport).
The older I get the more I have to acknowledge how much physicality is necessary to keep inner balance.

That's absolutely true. Seriously, without BB I'd have gone nuts by now probably. The BB gives me stability and moments of happieness in all the trouble. When I'm pumped up I feel like the king and that I could achieve anything. I have no idea what I'd do with my life if I wouldn't have this sport, how in hell do those other folks fill 24 long fucking hours?

Arthur Schopenhauer, a German philosopher alluded to something similar. He stated that boredom would propel someone to create conflict, to create a struggle. Man would inevitably get bored of the same old boring routine.

No one exists in a state of perpetual exaltation. It's ok not to be happy all the time. Overall, I count myself lucky to have as much on the 'good stuff' side of the scale as I do.
I don't regret working to improve my physique. As one of the few on Getbig who doesn't have elite physical genetics, doesn't have movie star good looks, isn't terribly smart, and is basically dead average in every way, I enjoy applying the only gift which nature has bestowed: bullheaded determination. Seriously. I like fucking around as much as anybody but I seem to be able to set myself to tasks with exceptional persistence. It's my only talent.

i think its scary if everything couldnt get better.

but you certainly don't know all women, yet you insist it's a fact, so I take it that you are a very very dangerous man 8)

Unfortunately my happiness depends on external factors, so when things are going good, I am happy. My life is ruled by how things are going with business, so when business is good, I am good. When business is bad, I am unhappy. I don't know how I fell into this lifestyle, the only thing I do is work. I get to the gym, but that is about it. Sometimes even the gym feels like work.
I miss being young and just having fun most of the time. I don't do anything for fun anymore.

Oh, and for all those inbreds, who for whatever reason stand in the way of their own happiness, maybe read
The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by By Jonathan Haidt Professor of Psychology University of Virginia.
It might be time for some of you nasser nuthuggers to start reading and realise that modern man has found ways to be happy, I'm happy, if youre not, update your knowledge for fuck sake, its 2011 man, and the bible isnt the only book in town.

would you want all of this, if you never had a tv, never read any books, never had internet?
Hapiness is linked to domination, excellence, to our socio profesionnal place. If we can contribute to our specie using our best habilities then we are happy. We can dominate being assholes using strenght and threatening others, eradicating the weaks, but at some point we will get destroyed when we age and get weaker ourselves, so it's better to dominate the benevolent way, so people will be kind to us when we cannot rule anymore. It's also good to submit yourself to benevolent , experienced people who will improve your odds of survival teaching you in return how to become a dominating, yet benevolent individual.
Hapiness is found in a stable, faithful family and in an adequate socio profesionnal occupation that requires all of your best qualities to be used daily. All of this create the perfect chemical cocktail in your brain that produces what we call hapiness. If you dont have what it takes, if you havent been loved by your parents as a child, you will grow up a sad self centered sarcastical individual who will reproduce what happend to his own parents. It's better to flee their influence and find faith in someone else. Lots of men and women cannot be happy simply because they havent been raised to become happy, as simple as that. You cannot be happy if you cant build a happy family, and to do this you need faith in God.
Hapiness is building life, maintaining it and defending it. Everything that is alive is a process that has for sole and only purpose to insure its own survival until its own replication, wether it's a vegetal or animal lifeform.
Frustration occurs when you want something you cant obtain. In our modern world we are constantly exposed to things we cant get. It drives us nuts. Only way to feel better is to cut yourself from all of this. Also living in cities means you see more people you d like to know/fuck , more people to compare yourself /your loveds ones to etc, in the past living in the same place all life long with the same people was different.
When you know you could do, be, better than what you re doing, are, then you also get frustrated. When you know that if you could have had , known what you know have, know, you could have been in abetter place than you are at the moment. Then you figure it's not your fault, but your parents fault for example. You understand unfairness. Yet you can still be happy if you find a way to be content with what really matters to you.
Its important to be content with what you have, who you are, but it is also, make no mistake, important to achieve excellence in all the things you have. Knowing you have something that isnt used at its full potential is frustrating. That is why you need loving, caring parents who will help you find your way , where to excel, at the benefit of both yourself and society (or, the specie that spawned you). It also means people who cannot give a good education, love, and faith to potential offsprings shoulndt give birth to kids.
We all have a maximum physical (beauty, body shape, health) and intellectual potential we can achieve. Not achieving any or both of them make us frustrated. But you have to be balanced, most smart people are ugly and beautiful people are dumb. A truly happy individual is someone who s balanced in both. And to understand how to improve yourself both physically and intellectually, without falling for the extremes, you need Faith, spirituality.
Angry, bitter, sore losers are those people who regret what they didnt have, who understood hwere they got fucked up by their own parents, and because they didnt find faith, will perpetuate all this negative energy and conditionnings they received. People with faith can transform their suffering, their understanding of things, into positive things not just for themselves, but also for others. They are building hapiness, cutlivating it like they would cultivate vegetables or flowers, because they know how it works, they are capable of feeling empathy, it means they are able to internalize, feel the hapiness of someoene else in their own soul. These people can sacrify themselves for the potential hapiness of another lifeform that isnt here yet.
There are old -and young!- people who are bitter, they never found faith and regret everything, never transformed their anger into something positive for others or/and themselves. Lots of them . They are jealous, constantly frustrated.
If only they had read the Bible they could understand how, following God's words, they could have or still could transform all this suffering into something positive for others.
Life is love.
God is love, and life.
If we want to be like God, then we just have to follow His words, as simple as that. But too many men are just listening to their animal nature and cannot do so. The devil is man who only listens to his animal, bestial parts. The Good man and woman, who elevates himself/herself above his/her animal parts, follows God's words.
We arent perfect, only God is perfect. But hapiness is found trying to be just like him.
We arent gods ourselves. We might have a lot of power, but our ressources are limited. Only God has unlimited power and ressources.

To quote Lord of War character Yuri Orlov ( ~ Oscar Wilde ) "There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it."
There were things that I wanted really bad in the past and in time I've finally received/achieved them and its somewhat of a letdown once you get what you want and it is not the lifechanging experience you thought it would be.
Doesn't mean I will stop striving for more.
would you want all of this, if you never had a tv, never read any books, never had internet?
Depends on the time /place, but I am sure I would always want a bigger spear, bigger cave, stronger/faster body and tons of cavebitches.

Do you guys know why you were happy when you were younger?
Because faith is innate. It only gets destroyed by evil people while we grow up. By people who dont follow God's words.
Hapiness is linked to faith, and faith has to be instillated in ourselves by our own caregivers. They ll also be happy and will be able to transmit us that hapiness if they are following God's words themselves.
Faith needs to be given, worked on and maintained to survive and produce goods for ourselves and others. Faith is Life itself.
Faith can be found and maintained at any time by anyone who havent been completely destroyed by evil doers , simply by reading the Bible.
People who dont follow God's words subrepticely convert to the atheist religion, the religion with no name. They just follow their animal impulses, and only think about their own survival even at the expense of others survival. They use all their knowledges to blindly dominate aggressively. They take pleasure in hurting others. They dont take any pleasure in helping others as they have no interests to do so anymore. They can only anticipate pleasure for themselves, not for others anymore. They can have kids, or a family. And if they do, they ll destroy them.
That's because they didnt develop or abandonned faith. After some time, after abusing all the sins, their thirst gets even deeper and they re still frustrated. They cant love anymore, cant feel anymore. And everytime they go outside, they meet people jus tlike them, in gigantic cities. And they encourage each others to become even bigger assholes. If at some point you re burned, you get out of society's rules, you start to wonder if all of this makes sense. You wonder if we re just animals attempting to kill each others endlessly just to insure our own survival. Life becomes absurd, makes no point at all anymore.
You ve been playing with all these sharks for so long. And you re not even happier. And there s always a stronger, bigger shark, asshole, and new ones are spawned every single second that passes. And it has always been the same. So what's the point?
Believing in the atheist religion leads you to believe in complete absurdity. In bestiality. You dont produce anything worth it for anyone, not even for yourself as you earn more money, it doesnt make you happier.
Because you fell for the evil.
You forgot what love is about, you ignore what it means anymore.

Yeah, sheep usually appear happy...... ::)

Actually, wether you believe or not, this is true.
Kids are happy and innocent because they "believe" everything will be allright.
For example, they just know their parents will pick them up from the kindergarden... they don't know it, but they just know... they believe they do because everytime it happends.
Then while you grow up, you are told that you have to be succesfull in order to reach happyness, you have to strive for great things in order to be happy, you have to follow a monopoli system to be a great human being, etc, because if you don't you end up homeless rotting away with maggots all over your feet.

lol, it's slowly happening
...and as much as people want to spite me by not talking about religion to prove me wrong, you all know that it will eventually happen

my post above yours didn't even mention religion, just faith in general, how faith is connected with happyness. Without faith you can't be happy.
All the things that makes you happy, you don't know can you have those things tomorrow or next year but you believe you will. You believe it so bad that you make your life surrounded by those things. Like me.

Fact is hapiness is found while growing up in significant interactions between yourself and your caregivers; they give you, teach you things they know and that will improve your odds of survival, it strenghtens your links and gives you hope and confidence. The way we interact with people once adults is a melting pot of the way our original caregivers interacted with us when we were kids, adolescents. If your caregivers dont give you anything, you find no purpose and are frustrated, angry at those who have been loved by their parents who gave them things to continue, to be proud of, that give a meaning to their own existence.
If your parents were unhappy and had troubles interacting adequatly with you and others, this is your heritage, this is how you will interact with others once adults, imitating the things you ve learnt subconsciously.
But, at some point you become conscious, depends of people as emotional/psychological maturity is reached at different ages by most people, you look back and start understanding one or two things. But it's hard to correct them. The older you get the tougher it is. But we all do go thru that process. You either choose to do better, and give birth to offsprings that will do better with your help, or you reproduce what happened to you, knowing full well you re reproducing but unfortunately as you have no faith, no spirituality, and as nobody ever gave you hope, you just keep ruining it all for yourself and others.
Only God's words can help you at this point. There is nothing before, after, or above God, Who is, Life.
Fact is that with the new problem of overpopulation and the better understanding of how human beings can reach stable, long lasting hapiness, a selection will have to be made. Soon not everyone will be able to give birth to kids, only those who will be able to raise them so they become happy, contributing individuals. We wil reach the point where we will understand that we should not allow unhappy people to give birth to unhappy kids.
Lots of people have been able to become happy more or so even when coming from shity families, but they are excpetions that confirm the rule. How many lost souls for one genius. How many suffering human beings, for one artist, songwriter, politician, etc
And how did those who came from these shitty origins found a way to get better and help others? always by finding God himself or one of his messengers on earth.

lol, it's slowly happening
...and as much as people want to spite me by not talking about religion to prove me wrong, you all know that it will eventually happen
lately it happens every two weeks or so, so it s indeed quite predictable. Looks like there s a deep, growing need for this kind of discussions as of late, and not just on the internet.
Wonder why?
-
Because faith is innate. It only gets destroyed by evil people while we grow up. By people who dont follow God's words.
Happiness is linked to faith, and faith has to be instilled in ourselves by our own caregivers. They ll also be happy and will be able to transmit us that happiness if they are following God's words themselves.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but faith and happiness have no link whatsoever - this is just religious propaganda, it could be argued, that the reason you need to adopt faith as an attitude, is because you do not feel whole, you long for something outside of yourself, you dont believe in yourself. You long for mother and fathers love that you have never received. When you discover yourself, your true self, you will let go off faith and grow into a man and have no need for religious nonsense. It will be hard for you to unravel the childhood that shaped your current religious zealotry, but I believe in you, and I think with continued practice and the reading of nonfiction as opposed to fiction could help, please PM me if you need help moving forward.

Because people of wisdom and intellect are sick and tired of you religious nuts holding unto the last thread of irrationality and idiocy called religion. We are going to harrass you dumb fucks into an early grave

you re bursting nobody s bubble.
But i can tell you one day yours will be burst.
your childish gibbering is just that, childish gibbering from an immature, ignorant barely loved atheist who still obviously didnt face Death itself.
When this happens as it happens to every single human being, come back to me or someone else who understood His message, as you will need it badly.
We all walk on the same path, we re just all at different steps.

lol GOD help me if I were to have kids at this point of my life... no good, uberman, no way :D
not at any point of my life actually....

That's because you werent loved, and cant love as a result. You re not mature enough, too ignorant, too self centered. You dont exist for anyone else but yourself. Which means that basically you are useless to the process of life itself.
You represent the end of your lineage as a result, and that's not because of your sins, but because of those of your parents and grandparents that have been reported in your life and underly everysingle of your thoughts and actions every day. You re just the sum of what precedes you, and what precedes you doesnt want to live or create life. Your sins are only your parents and grandparents sins accumulated in your soul, a soul that is so corrupt that it doesnt want to live anymore. Why stay alive then? Because you still hope that you will find hapiness. Ironic isnt it?
You wont build nor maintain life. You are dead already and all you can talk about is death. It's not like you re the only one.

Why don't you slow down there, before you start shouting out sensless garbage, like I wasn't loved or I'm without love ::)
I have friends who I am very hospital for. I bought weed with 100 bucks, i shared every bit of it with my friends and some random people because I wanted them to share my goods and that we could all have a good time.
Not one guest in my house is without food even if it means I have to be a little hungry. When I see an elderly with gorcey bags I offer my help... small things like this, everyday.
Secondly, only god can grow life (no religious debate)
I had no idea that fucking a bitch and making her pregnant is the meter of success to you, I think it's anything but.
I thought you were a good guy, but it seems you're the devil in disguise. You don't fool me 8)
-
You re talking about sucess, im talking about hapiness.
Let's talk about all of this when you ll reach the 50s 30s.
Until then, you clearely have food for thoughts.
-
i'm happy when i have girls and money
i think these 2 things are the most important in the world
plus family

YOU talked about my life being without love because I don't want any kids ::), and in your oppinion it's because I wasn't loved as a child. So I wanted you to feel how wrong you are.
So I take it you're in your 50's? My GOD you are one stupid 50 year old :D
You know uberman, you're one of those preachers who mix garbage with gods word. You just can't fool me. Jesus would face palm.

I am seriously lmao, I havent felt this good in a long time. It makes me laugh some of the things you post, I dont know about you, but I will prepare for death when it comes, in the meantime, I will just simply enjoy life.
-
i'm happy when i have girls and money

Pretty sad, isn't it? There gotta be more to life
-
Do you guys know why you were happy when you were younger?
bla... bla bla...I am entitled phaggot who believes in something special up there in order to make myself feel superspecial. Yay !
No, you are just another arrogant dipshit who thinks he knows it all. I love how you didn't bother to respond to my comment "depends on the time, but I am sure I will always want a bigger spear, bigger cave and etc etc." pointing out that modern culture has nothing to do with modern wishes, its basic human instinct, psychology.
The irony is I probably have had more "contact" with one or one(s) you call "God" but I don't go around spouting babble on the internet in order to demean all others who don't agree with my point of view.
-
Pretty sad, isn't it? There gotta be more to life
Beef ?

it is sad but i'm actually right, right?

if we take it down to biology
it's all about having sex
it's all about breeding

it is sad but i'm actually right, right?
Idk man, you're probably focused on money and bitches because you got no talents in any other aspect of life (same goes for me and the most of us).
I think if you'd be for example an extremely talented painter or writer, creating a monumental masterpiece which is appreciated all over the world is way more fulfilling than superficial money and hoes. Same goes for politicians who're able to make monumental decisions influencing millions of people.
Only a prole who has nothing to offer to the world has to focus on shit like money and hoes.

but in the end i would "create these masterpieces" just to get hoes and make money right?

When you grow up you will one day say to yourself: "Ironneck was right after all..", and weep...
-
i know it's very fulfilling if you reach something in life but in the end it's all about women
-
When you grow up you will one day say to yourself: "Ironneck was right after all..", and weep...
You're dead wrong dude, I'm several years older than Ironneck. Whe he grows up (and you) he'll find out that there's more to life than money and hoes ;)
-
You're dead wrong dude, I'm several years older than Ironneck. Whe he grows up (and you) he'll find out that there's more to life than money and hoes ;)
Let's have lunch some time, I'll explain it all... ;D
-
You're dead wrong dude, I'm several years older than Ironneck. Whe he grows up (and you) he'll find out that there's more to life than money and hoes ;)
of course there is! i'm just saying you can't be happy without these 2 factors
what would make me happy one day is having great children
love kids (no pedo)
-
Faith is everything - fills your batteries like no other things.
Religion has nothing to do with faith... it's an outlet like a clothes vendor. You can have the most exquisite clothes on earth and still be a mongrel... money can't buy class nor dignity.
Strictly religious folks are often perverts - in one way or another.
The other sex is extremely important but only in context of sex/love - sex is here to sooth your itch not to make you happy. As a dude being happy/balanced can be a great asset in having a good fuck arsenal.

Xexes is Persian not Arab!
And ToxicAvenger is Pakistani (I think) so also not Arab
And Ironneck is a Turk. Obviously G_thang doesn't care, but if anyone were to write a list of hispanic getbiggers on a list and call them all Mexicans, he would be the first to whine.

Yeah like I said, you may be cool.... but turk has a reputation and the people in turk also have a great reputation. It goes soooooo far in history too.
Anyway, a guy I know went to turkey with his wife and he said that he prety much had his finger on the trigger the entire trip... the men didn't respect at all for the fact that he was married with her and was with her, club after club, restaurant after restaurant, pool part after pool part. Similar storys are told by so many people I have spoken with.
Even with no girls with, this guy who goes to the same gym as I do said that he was in turkey for a week with 4 of his friends, and in the hotel this pool guy was just showboating and doing stupid shit to impress himself, he threw water against my dudes cellphone, so my dude stands up and demands an appoligy, and guess what, even the hotels security and bartender were yelling to my dude :D....
I have only heard these kind of storys from differend people.
lol :P

well... all I'm saying is, I don't want turkey to be part of EU :D
not that I'm a redneck racist, I'm not complaining about the somalis or nigerians or whatever in finland...
-
ok maby I AM biased... we all are biased about something, no?
maby I have to go to turk my self,
maby I have to expand my world view and check out shit myself.
maby I have to drop this shit
but we all agree that women are bitches and replaceable by food, weed and money.
LOL note, again the reason why something is bad... related to WOMEN! Again... women are nothing but trouble.
-
well... all I'm saying is, I don't want turkey to be part of EU :D
not that I'm a redneck racist, I'm not complaining about the somalis or nigerians or whatever in finland...
turkey in the EU would be a bless
the only country with growing economy right now in that region
-
a blessing it would be not ;D, but it could be cool...
-
Hahaha no way the Turkish people would join to babysit lazy Greeks, with their insanely high tax evasion, low taxes and low retirement age. Turkey is enjoying somewhere around 10% growth these days. Let EU be the poor Germans headache ;D.
-
hahahaha :D
and yes it's all the bitches fault!
-
I have a good life, wonderful and loving wife and a great family. I am retired, so I have no work issues. While not rich, I have good and relatively secure income. Of course, like most folks, I would like to be a multi-millionaire. My health is great most of the time.
Given the above, I have no reason to not be happy....and yet sometimes I feel down. This is normal, I suspect. No one is happy all of the time. And if you were, how would you know? It seems like in order to know what it is like to feel happy, you have to know what it is like to feel sad.

Modern day white "savages" from the apalachians. Whole daily life is focused on direct survival and family. Just like other savages living in the jungle.
Now, occidental "elites", everyone would want to be;

To Be a Human Being (1989-90)
The philosopher Peter Wessel Zapffe in his 90th year (1990 Documentary, Tromsø Norway: Original Film AS)
Each new generation asks – What is the meaning of life? A more fertile way of putting the question would be – Why does man need a meaning to life?
Man is a tragic animal. Not because of his smallness, but because he is too well endowed. Man has longings and spiritual demands that reality cannot fulfill. We have expectations of a just and moral world. Man requires meaning in a meaningless world.
The seed of a metaphysical or religious defeat is in us all. For the honest questioner, however, who doesn’t seek refuge in some faith or fantasy, there will never be an answer.
We come from an inconceivable nothingness. We stay a while in something which seems equally inconceivable, only to vanish again into the inconceivable nothingness.
The immediate facts are what we must relate to. Darkness and light, beginning and end.
Death is a terrible provocation. It appears almost everywhere, presenting a stern but effective scale for both values and ethical standards.
Death is the most certain and the most uncertain event there is.
In accordance with my conception of life, I have chosen not to bring children into the world. A coin is examined, and only after careful deliberation, given to a beggar, whereas a child is flung out into the cosmic brutality without hesitation.
Mankind ought to end its existence of its own will.
I myself am no longer very much afflicted by the thought of my own death. The synthesis, Peter Wessel Zapffe, did not originate until 1899. It was spared from immediate participation in the horrors of the previous years, and it will not miss what awaits mankind at the end of its vertiginous madness.
If one regards life and death as natural processes, the metaphysical dread vanishes, and one obtains "peace of mind".
Zapffe's theory is that humans are born with an overdeveloped skill (understanding, self-knowledge) which does not fit into nature's design. The human craving for justification on matters such as life and death cannot be satisfied, hence humanity has a need that nature cannot satisfy. The tragedy, following this theory, is that humans spend all their time trying not to be human. The human being, therefore, is a paradox.
In The Last Messiah Zapffe described four principal defense mechanisms that humankind uses to avoid facing this paradox:
Isolation is "a fully arbitrary dismissal from consciousness of all disturbing and destructive thought and feeling".[1]
Anchoring is the "fixation of points within, or construction of walls around, the liquid fray of consciousness".[1] The anchoring mechanism provides individuals a value or an ideal that allows them to focus their attentions in a consistent manner. Zapffe also applied the anchoring principle to society, and stated "God, the Church, the State, morality, fate, the laws of life, the people, the future"[1] are all examples of collective primary anchoring firmaments.
Distraction is when "one limits attention to the critical bounds by constantly enthralling it with impressions".[1] Distraction focuses all of one's energy on a task or idea to prevent the mind from turning in on itself.
Sublimation is the refocusing of energy away from negative outlets, toward positive ones. The individual distances him / herself and looks at their existence from an aesthetic point of view (e.g., writers, poets, painters.) Zapffe himself pointed out that his produced works were the product of sublimation.
Zapffe was a prolific mountaineer and took a very early interest in environmentalism. This form of nature conservationism sprung from the intent, not of protecting nature, but to avoid human culturalization of nature. He is the author of many humorous short stories about climbing and other adventures in nature.
[edit] Personal
Zapffe was married twice. He remained married to his second wife Berit Zapffe until his death in 1990. Berit herself died in May 2008. Zapffe believed that having children should be problematised and remained childless by choice.

yes and yes
