Mac says, “It’s not papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) that’s empty—the person asking the question is empty as a human being. What are you living for? I can see right through how hollow your existence is.”
But Mac and everyone else, what are you living for?
Do you have a reason for living?
👤Asked byGuest👩GenderFemale🎂20s👑Universe female member
I’m living to live.
I enjoy eating delicious food, listening to music I like and laughing, watching movies, and all that!
Speaking of which, I finished paying off my student loans three months ago (^ω^)
So now I’m taking it easy, hoping I might meet a papa (a male supporter) I can have a romantic relationship with.
I just want to enjoy every day and spend my time doing the things I love (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Ultimately,
is it all for our own satisfaction?
For our children, for a sense of achievement,
to be acknowledged,
for someone else—
It’s all of those things.
I work desperately every day for the people who matter more to me than I do,
because I want to love them
and be loved in return.
Because I want to hear someone say,
“I want you here.”
“I’m so glad you were here.”
And when I die,
I want to be able to say,
“Ah… I was happy.”

Human beings live to love someone.
But the moment you love someone, suffering comes with it.
That doesn’t mean you should avoid love just because it can be painful.

I’m Yoshino, a female member.
Until now, I lived with the determination not to let the painful or sad things that happened in the past stay that way. But as time passed, I gradually forgot about them.
Now, I’m living to be happy.

> Living to be with girls.
That’s absolutely right.
Men are able to keep going because women exist. Everything in a man’s world exists for wonderful women—everything. That’s how simple and foolish men are. We’re truly idiots.
And all we can feel is gratitude toward the women who give us the strength to live—gratitude beyond words.
That said, from a man’s perspective, the women doing papa-katsu look like they’re having an insanely good time—so much so that I’d love to trade places with them if I could. So why isn’t that the case for you?
Or do you enjoy it, but feel empty afterward?

Objectively, there’s no particular reason for being alive.
Personally, since I’ve been given this one life, I try to have all kinds of experiences and enjoy it.
You’re supposed to find your own reason for living. I don’t think it’s something you ask other people about.

I’m doing my best to raise my kids, work, and date…
I’m living fully in the present. Because, you know… something could happen tomorrow and I could suddenly die, right? You wouldn’t want to be on your deathbed regretting that you should’ve done this or that, would you? If you start thinking it’s all pointless, you’ll only attract bad luck.
Even when I get an interesting offer, I just laugh it off.
Are you sure you’re in a position to be worrying about other people, questioner?

I’ve never really thought about what I’m living for…
Even so, I enjoy every day.
Recently, I played on a golf course for the first time! I was absolutely terrible, but I had so much fun. The people I played with were amazing too! I’m going to keep practicing so I’ll be ready for next month!
Of course, sad things happen too.
Van Cleef is raising its prices… They’re going up by 8% next week. I’d love to buy something to commemorate a special occasion, but it’s not easy to just casually splurge on something like that myself.
With this price increase, it feels even farther out of reach. 😭
Life comes with all kinds of things. There are plenty of worries, sad times, and difficult moments. But of course, there are also lots of fun and happy moments.
I don’t think you necessarily need a reason to live, do you?!
I believe the winner is the person who enjoys life the most. I hope you have lots of fun too!

Exactly lol. I’d love to hear a truly enlightened answer to this, but no matter how confidently someone says it, it’s never really resonated with me lol.
Apparently every field of study is working toward solving this mystery, but if no one can figure it out in a lifetime, then someone like me, just picking my nose and thinking about it, has no chance lol.
Everyone dies someday. Have you ever found that frightening?
But that’s something we’re all equal in lol.
So if you’re struggling and lost about how to live, that’s something everyone goes through too.
If we’re both feeling hopeless, rather than forcing ourselves to become enlightened, I’d be happier just hearing someone say, “You’re doing your best!” And that day, I’d rather laugh beside them.
Those moments are what make you think, “That was actually fun.”
I’d rather spend my time that way than worry all by myself.
I think it’s okay to create your own reasons to keep going, even if they’re as small as that lol.

There’s no such thing. Once you’re born into this world, you live until you die.
There are times when I sink into thinking that my life has no value, but when that happens, I sing Naotaro Moriyama’s “If Living Is Painful” by myself at karaoke.
It makes me realize all over again: dying doesn’t have any value either. The people around you may grieve when you die, but after three days or so, things go back to normal. The world just keeps moving along as usual. Give it a try sometime.
Also, if I died now, all sorts of things I’ve been hiding from my wife would come to light after my death. That scares me so much I can’t die. I don’t think I’d be able to rest in peace anyway, so for now, I absolutely don’t want to die.
A fairly close friend of mine died from a stroke, and after his death, all kinds of things he’d been hiding from his wife came to light. She was sad for only a few days. After that, her feelings turned to anger. Seeing that made me think, “I really can’t afford to die carelessly.”

Living on autopilot
I’m Potassium, a female member.
I’m living on autopilot.
Since we’re all going to die someday anyway, I don’t really feel like there’s any particular meaning to being alive. But once you’re dead, you won’t be able to think—or even feel happy anymore. And it’s not like dying is something you can do that easily, so while I’m alive, I try to find something every day that makes me happy and treat that as my reason for living.
If I were to die suddenly and, as my life flashed before my eyes, I could think, “Wow, my life was fun,” then personally, I feel like I’d be able to say that my life had meaning.
I guess my reason for living is so I won’t have regrets when I die.
It’s the ultimate contradiction, but that’s my personal philosophy.
And since there are people who want to live but can’t, I feel bad about treating life carelessly. So I hope that someday I can be of help to someone somehow.
That’s why I make sure to pay my taxes properly.
