    i never believed in god from the start, so I dont even have that going for me. Kinda the opposite. With all the sht that goes on in the world, I figure that if a god exists, they're probably just a jerk. Makes me more depressed...trapped in an endless cycle because of myself, lol...

    A reason not to die is surprisingly more important in terms of keeping yourself from not staying alive i.e. not die (too soon)...

    Yeah you're right. I have read alot of novels and all the ones I follow are read. I guess it was miss leading to say it's my only reason, I apologize. Other reasons would be that I'm curious and also desire to talk to someone but all my friends are sleeping..
    This question is not asking for the meaning of life but rather the purpose of why you personally continue to choose to live, it's correct to each individual. But yes it is something pondered over by many over a large expanse of time and I think is still good think about in the present as well. :)

    well, i don't have any reason to die. so comparing between dying and living, it just seems that living have more advantages. i still need to know what the heck is One Piece.

    Lmao ikr? My friends keep saying it's going to be "friendship" I will through my table if it ever happens

    I agree also something new to be seen!

    Yeah you're right (again) haha
    But that's what makes it so interesting, at least for me. I'm sure you have your own views and values as well

    "continue to choose to not die prematurely" is more accurate, because after being born you live by default. And your three (known & relevant) options presented to you are to end yourself, passively await death, or to extend your lifespan.
