    I like bubble gum. I also like to kick ass. Both very good reasons to live IMO. lol.

    "since when does anyone need a reason to live anyway?"

    yes. there is that. but today i woke up with the question and just couldn't come up wit any satisfying answer so thought i'd start a thread, purely for selfish reasons. today, i lived to post. lol.

    "...and that means every possible reason there is in life".

    Yes. So....you live to exercise your dizzying intellect right?

    Big Tex - Sobering. How wonderful for your family, that you are choosing that reason to live. Excellent mission. You can do it.

    Ahh, Princess Bride is it? Dizzying is probably the operative word there, I don't try to manufacture these things with the mind though, I just kind of let it relax and it just comes to me, naturally. Same principle applies to living I think, reasons for living, leaving the witnesses, getting over it and anything else.

    For loving people and for being loved. Eternity lies within it.

    Reasons to live, well because I like living. I like cheeseburgers and my kids. I like driving through the country side in the autumn and just sitting here, writing to those who are suffering. I like sleeping in when I don't have to get up early. I like listening to good music and my adult children's problems. I like it all.

    ...because others depend on me...this is my main reason!

    Beck, if no one depended on you, would you still have a reason for living?

    Ah Larc, the last statement in your message brought this song to mind.. It's by someone in my zen community who also happens to be a therapist, hope you all enjoy it.

    Well the sun keep shining down
    Rain keeps falling gently to the ground
    And the song birds - they always sing
    Do you stop to notice all these things?

    And the moon - keeps givin light
    Clouds keep drifting slowly through the night
    And the people - they wanna sing
    All these things are wonderful to me

    So I'm grateful
    Grateful (oh you know I am)
    I'm feelin grateful
    Grateful

    And the wind blows through the trees
    Rivers keep on towin to the sea
    And a baby cries - someone dies
    But it all has such beauty in my eyes

    So I'm grateful
    Grateful (oh you know I am)
    I'm feelin grateful
    Grateful

    I know you've had some bad times
    And you might think that I'm a fool to feel this way
    But I know - it all has a season
    One day soon I'm gonna hear you say

    That you're grateful
    Grateful (oh yes we are)
    And we'll be grateful
    Grateful

    I'm filled with gratitude
    When I look around I just can't help it no
    See a little green thing come from the ground
    And I'm grateful

    Aren't you grateful?
    To live in this world
    Under the big blue sky
    With a whole lot of people
    Who keeps struggling to get by -
    Grateful

    Yes I'm - Grateful
    Grateful
    Grateful (oh you know I am)
    I'm feelin grateful
    Grateful

    Yes I'm - Grateful
    Grateful
    Grateful (oh you know I am)
    I'm feeling grateful
    Grateful
