4 those who have no purpose in life live for kicks


does anyone know what any of these quetos mean?

Answers:
number 2 is from Thoreau? i think.

basically that the majority of people live their lives keeping everything on the inside, all the pain and problems without lettin git out the way people think they should. At least thats what i think.

1. if you dont look into your life, why bother with it. you need to do a lot more with life than just live it; you need to have a purpose.

the others i'm not exactly sure...and these are just my opinions.
I'll try to explain the first one.

Basically it means that if you live and make mistakes, but don't learn from them you might as well have never lived at all. If you never look back on your life and examine the ups and downs, the successes and the failures that you have failed to learn anything from being on this earth. So, if you failed to learn and appreciate the significant (and even the unsignificant) moments in your life than you might as well had never been born in the first place. Life is a long journay and a learning process. If you never take a step back and appreciate it as such then you are missing out.
