Because I can't be bothered dying.
Why do you feel your life is worth living?
What do you hope to accomplish?
Death is not like sleeping (assuming it's nothingness). There's the rather crucial difference that you wake up from sleep. Imagine not waking up from sleepless dreaming. You can't because it's incomprehensible.
I have unanswered questions. And for some reason there are people that like me better alive.
My work isn't done. I still have to attend Comic-Con with a hooker, dressed up as characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Then I'm not really sure what I'd do.
Is life worth living? Well, I can only answer for myself. I like to be alive, to breathe the air, to look at the landscape, the clouds, the stars, to repeat old poems, to look at pictures and statues, to hear music, the voices of the ones I love. I enjoy eating and smoking. I like good cold water. I like to talk with my wife, my girls, my grandchildren. I like to sleep and to dream. Yes, you can say that life, to me, is worth living.
Why do we choose to have kids?
Why do we choose to let other people die?
I don't think my life is worth living. I can't accomplish anything as I'm no good at anything and if I try to get better I always fail. If I ever want to do anything all it does is get in the way of others and I get into trouble. It seems like all I am is a pathetic waste and the only way I could do to make it better for others is if I was gone.
Um. The point kinda was that you can't extrapolate the comprehensible to the incomprehensible. But I suppose that's a subject for a different thread.It's called extrapolation.

Well, I do comprehend the fact that I won't wake up. I just don't... I don't think there's a word for it. It's kind of like with space: I understand that space is infinite, but infinity itself escapes my grasp. Things must have a beginning and an end, otherwise the human brain just gets all dizzy and goes "Dude, like, far out, man.".I don't know why it is incomprehensible to you, it is comprehensible to me - enough to put it in perspective, anyway.![]()
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J41iFYO0NQA (sorry for spam, I simply had to. Warning: makes no sense if you haven't seen the movie. In which case... Go rent it. It matters. It really does.There's no reason to live, but there is also no reason to die. Therefore, I just tend to live by my gut, and be impulsive. Since no outcome is better than the other, I needn't worry about the consequences. So I don't really choose to live, I just don't choose to die; of which a side effect is life.
Since I live by my impulses, I just think - I enjoy/want/think this, and carry it out. I don't think nihilists are any different than other people - that is, if they are true nihilists, they don't care about nihilism, and therefore just live.
Of course, there is always the possibility that I am wrong in my nihilism, so I still generally obey laws, avoid rabid iconoclasm, etc. Why am I saying this? Because there really isn't any reason not to.
