Why do you get up?

[shadow3]

This has been bugging me lately, because to me, there's no reason to get up.
I don't believe in god, or any other deity, and saying "because I have to" isn't good enough for me any more, so I thought I'd ask here.

Why do you get up in the morning?

And I don't mean on a level such as "because I have to go to school" or something like that. Guess I asked for it now though.

 

[Tyranid]

Because I have to.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Cause I'm still young and I wanna experience lots of things when I get older

 

[Kimbo]

Because everyday for me is a new adventure, it is also fuel for my dreams (both terms) and aspirations.
I make most of the conscious reality because it is so beautiful and never linear, it changes how i think, what i dream about and what I become.....It gives me the ability to absorb tangible and clear experiences.
The physical world is filled with strong and unique sensations that feels so real........

Granted, i love dreaming too and wish i could sleep in alot more! harrr!

 

[Elenai]

If I didn't get up in the morning, I would miss the new day, and the chance to spend it with the one(s) you find joy in, and to share in the bounty of experiences. I couldn't possibly abandon the opportunity...it would be unforgivable to waste the dawn.

 

[D a w n]

because I want to be able to say: "yes, I had a good life"

 

[Kwah]

Burritos. I live for burritos.

 

[Artins the Great]

You Do? I live for Tacos.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I believe in God, in fact I am Mormon. But I still wish I wouldn't wake up every day. I have horrible depression and every day is a struggle not to do something stupid.

But I have other people that depend on me and need me so I have to get up and push myself to my limit every day for them.

 

[shadow3]

Seems like we share the same problem CombatTheWombat. Though I don't really have anyone depending on me or who need me.

 

[Kwah]

Seems like we share the same problem CombatTheWombat.

No, I think his problem is he's a mormon. I repeat . . . --

 

[Jaakko]

When I'm depressed I don't think why should I get up I think why should I do things I don't want to. This happens easily if you don't have a social life meaning good friends. I have some friends but they live too far for me to meet them more often.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I make amazingly delicious breakfasts.

 

[GrandEnder]

Because I am naturally driven to benefit myself and my species.

 

[~Void~]

Because if I never got up in the first place, I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep.

 

[PurplePoot]

Because it's less boring than lying there, although I often do lie there for quite a while.

Oh, and because there's probably a forum I could be posting on or something.

 

[Gausslander]

I really don't enjoy my current life.
I hate it.
But it's worth it for me to work and try to affect the lives of others, also dicking around on the forums is quite fun

But really... I work so hard... but I can't achieve the goals I would see as 'glorious' or 'dignifying'. I'm a failure when it comes to my lifestyle, I was a good football player, a fair student, but not a great person. I envied guys who could get the hottest girls at the expense of everything, so I became one of them.

 

[graystuff111]

I used to get up cause I was chasing a girl, I got rejected before I even asked her out. Its all good, I just have to find another reason to get up in the moring.

 

[Just_Spectating]

because i want to live. Life is worth living for. and who knows you may only get it once.

sleeping looks the same as being dead.

 

[Zombie]

I dreamt about being in some kind of guerilla fight, but I somehow woke up. I wanted to go back to sleep, but failed to do so. After reading a few pages of Crime and Punishment, I got up to check what's on the Hive.

 

[Nbah]

Because there is a building competition going on in Jedi Academy Mystic Forces clan, and I wanna win >

 

[Zergrusher]

Im not really a fan of just sitting in my bed all day long. I find games a bit more interactive and funny.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

If you sleep between 4 to 7 hours, you live longer then sleeping longer than 7 hours.

It's a fact.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Look i woke up again!

 

[Cyper95]

i have 1 main reason to get up in school though totally improves my self confidence lots smarter than all the others or else they are idiots lulz..
else the other reason is that i have a job but that is only Saturday's so..
do i have other reasons oh ye to always get better than others its a pain in the ass if any of my friends are better than me o some stuff that i like fx warcraft gaming lol well doesnt really matter that much
and who should bring me my coke no not drugs lol..

 

[bounty hunter2]

Habit.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Habit.

I lol'd

 

[BlinkforFear]

I Get up because of my own quote

"We do not fear we are only afraid, afraid of the things that we believe can hurt or harm us. This is why some people live and some people die, why some people prosper and why other people don't, and why some peoples names are remembered, and why some are not. If only people would put there minds to the fact that life is meant to be lived. It is not meant to be the fear of not living." -BlinkforFear

I try not to fear doing anything, cause if i do my life is wasted, so i go by my own quote... it tends to keep my life going not always smoothly but it works

 

[Coolty44]

I get up because I accidently gave my rather annoying friend my cell number... now I get a wake up call every morning at about 5:00AM, even when hes on vacation.....

 

[Pins]

An excellent question, without answer. Look at the previous posts, anyone gets up for his own illusion. Try to build one, too.

Habit.

 

[Gilles]

Usually because I'm horn.....ohhhh.... my bad.

Because life is worth living.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

No, I think his problem is he's a mormon. I repeat . . . --

Fuck you you stupid racist asshole. That's exactly the kind of shit that ISN'T allowed on these forums. You don't know shit about me or my religion and the fact that you would make a comment like that when you don't know anything shows me how much of a dumb-fuck you are in general. Grow the hell up and stop spewing verbal garbage when you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. For once this is the kind of thing that actually NEEDS moderator attention and no one has even mentioned hawk's extreme unfounded prejudice.

Flaming is also against the rules!

 

[Masiah]

I don't realise that I have woken up untill I've had my morning coffee, and by that time I'm already showered and dressed up so... it's a little too late to complain.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Flaming is also against the rules!

.....Did you really just say that? He insulted the entire way I live my life when he has absolutely no idea who I am and the way I live my life and obviously is a totally ignorant asshole when it comes to religion.

 

[BlinkforFear]

how bout you both calm down, go get a lollipop, and take your conversation elsewhere cause now this thread is off topic...

yes we all know he insulted you but, thats life dude so just chill out and private message him or somthin...

 

[Restor]

that very easy to answer: becouse you will get bored, thats why everybody gets up

The bigger question is "why have I to tidy up my bed when I will go sleep cca. 16 hours later"

Becouse my mom said I have to. But I still want any logical answer.

 

[Ash]

Why do you get up in the morning?

I often wonder myself, to be honest.

 

[Dionesiist]

I really don't know. I've been quite plagued with existential questions for a while now.

 

[~Void~]

Why do I get up in the morning? I don't. I get up at noon.

 

[Captain Griffen]

Because our instincts drive us to, so as to increase chances of reproduction.

Same reason we do anything. Our genes are trying to replicate.

 

[Devine]

I get up to eat or poop.

Fuck you and fuck Freud.

 

[BlinkforFear]

i think this topic has gotten a little off hand...

 

[Armon]

Because I just wake up. Usually even before my alarm clock. Its sometimes frustrating, but most of the time isnt becose I wake up just for not being sleepy anymore.

 

[Captain Griffen]

Fuck you and fuck Freud.

I do hope that was satirical dramatic irony.

You're on the internet, you should expect that kind of stuff.
Just report the post, and leave it to us. PM him if you feel compelled to do so.
Don't bait the trolls with flame. They love it.

Such a sad outlook on life.

 

[GrandEnder]

What are you talking about? It allows us to promote the most pleasureable experience in life; sex.

 

[LordDz]

Because I hope that this day won't be as fucking boring as the other one

Doesn't matter. Flaming isn't allowed.
