there's this feeling in me that is hard to describe.
it makes me sick and want to puke.
why can't i simply get this right?
although in my heart, it is a duke.

it overwhelms me.
it overuns me.
i want to run.
and die on a gun.

what is the meaning of life?
when your life's significantly insignificant?
what is the point of endless struggle?
when our life ends in a tick.

it overwhelms me.
it overuns me.
i want to run.
and die on a gun.

why do people struggle?
to achieve what others had gotten,
what is the meaning of working so hard,
when there are many others before you.

it overwhelms me.
it overuns me.
i want to run.
and die on a gun.

blinded by fame or glory,
handicapped by non-creativity,
people thought their hard work will bring success,
but in fact their life's on recess.

it overwhelms me.
it overuns me.
i want to run.
and die on a gun.

life is short and soon its gone,
you cannot live your life again.
why do you set out to do things that other's have done,
and not discover and cultivate the real inner you.

it overwhelms me.
it overuns me.
i want to run.
and die on a gun.

our life's insignifcant.
why not live life to the fullest;
treasure every tick of clock, every sun rise,
for it soon is gone; your turn to fertilise plants.

it overwhelms me.
it overuns me.
i want to run.
and die on a gun.

LIFE IS A PRIVILEGE.
THIS IS OUR LIFE.
GOD HAD GIVEN IT TO US.
WE DO NOT WASTE IT BY "ACHIEVING" WHAT OTHERS HAD ALREADY DONE.

DO NOT WASTE WASTE LIFE.
LIVE LIFE YOUR WAY.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE FULL USE OF YOUR OWN LIFE YOUR OWN WAY,
HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM A FEW CARBON MOLECULES SWIRLING IN SPACE?

LIFE
games The first popular cellular automata based artificial life game. Life was invented by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970 and was first introduced publicly in Scientific American later that year. Conway first devised what he called The Game of Life and ran it using plates placed on floor tiles in his house. Because of he ran out of floor space and kept stepping on the plates, he later moved to doing it on paper or on a checkerboard, and then moved to running Life as a computer program on a PDP-7. That first implementation of Life as a computer program was written by M. J. T. Guy and S. R. Bourne (the author of Unix's Bourne shell). Life uses a rectangular grid of binary (live or dead) cells each of which is updated at each step according to the previous state of its eight neighbours as follows: a live cell with less than two, or more than three, live neighbours dies. A dead cell with exactly three neighbours becomes alive. Other cells do not change. While the rules are fairly simple, the patterns that can arise are of a complexity resembling that of organic systems -- hence the name Life. Many hackers pass through a stage of fascination with Life, and hackers at various places contributed heavily to the mathematical analysis of this game (most notably Bill Gosper at MIT, who even implemented Life in TECO!; see Gosperism). When a hacker mentions life, he is more likely to mean this game than the magazine, the breakfast cereal, the 1950s-era board game or the human state of existence. Yahoo!

LIFE
n. 1. A cellular-automata game invented by John HortonConway and first introduced publicly by Martin Gardner (ScientificAmerican, October 1970); the game's popularity had to wait a fewyears for computers on which it could reasonably be played, as it'sno fun to simulate the cells by hand. Many hackers pass through astage of fascination with it, and hackers at various placescontributed heavily to the mathematical analysis of this game (mostnotably Bill Gosper at MIT, who even implemented life in TECO!;see Gosperism). When a hacker mentions `life', he is much morelikely to mean this game than the magazine, the breakfast cereal, orthe human state of existence. 2. The opposite of Usenet. As inGet a life!
