I think life is always worth living.
And, your sentence is a fallacy.
That's like saying "Team, the object of the game is to find the red ball. Those of you who do not have the red ball have pretty much lost. Please leave the arena."
How can one ever win at that?
What would be a more precise notion would be to say, "Life isn't worth living until you are looking for someone who is worth dying for."
And quite frankly, who are you to say that one search defines worth more than another?
I mean, maybe it does for you, but other people might find other ways of making their lives worthy.
I, for example, could not care less about finding someone worth dying for. I really don't like the idea that the greatest pinnacle of your worth is whether someone is willing to die for you - that in fact you can actually "earn" someone dying for you.
I find that a violent and melodramatically romantic idea.
I don't want someone to die for me.
As you can see, this gets under my skin.

Addendum: when I say that life is always worth living, I don't mean that people should persist onwards if their quality of life (famine, disease, whatever) is degraded and they don't want to. It's a person's choice. But I think it's absurd to suggest that being alive might not be worth your time or effort. It's the only dimension, I think, in which time and effort exist for you. I mean, do you have something *better* to do than live?

but for that moment you were someone... someone so great that they would die for. im not proud of people willing to die for me. i am ashamed. y die. you should live for someone not die for someone. just because someones gone doesnt mean you have to go to. it be worth living but is it worth dying. life is worth everything. and i only said it because it does mean something. if can find that someone worth dying for everything you did before that moment was just passing the time. i dont think many people have ever been truly in love i'd like to think i have. wen they stop loving if they stop loving you you dont become wothless you become more...

You're nobody 'til somebody loves you
You're nobody 'til somebody cares.
You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold,
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old.
The world still is the same, you never change it,
As sure as the stars shine above;
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you,
So find yourself somebody to love.
The world still is the same, you never change it,
As sure as the stars shine above;
You're nobody 'til somebody loves you,
So find yourself somebody, find yourself somebody,
Find yourself somebody to love.

i saw tommy again the other night at the landmark; it had been years but i recognized him and his philosophies along with some tequila ringing in my ears:
'you do affect other peoples' lives, whether you realize it or not'
and i'm still left wondering
how

as for myself, i responded only to the 'title' of this blathe. i didn't even read the blathes themselves until after i posted. outside influences can sometimes tempt my thoughts.

i was just rambling...
this was not meant to be a deep philosophical blathe although people responded to it as such and they have the right to if they want...
i don't really take them personally (normally i also like when people respond), i guess i just felt like marking my territory. it's my blathe, mine!

nobody is anybody that could be somebody but this is all semantics, because nothing is something and something is nothing, so anybody could be nobody and since nobody is anybody it is all meaningless.

why does someone loving you make you somebody. there are lots of different kinds of love. being loved doesnt matter unless you love them. being love by someone wen u dont feel the same way is guilt rendering. it makes you feel as if you've betrayed them drawn them into something. sometimes unrequited love can hurt. you can ruined someone forever, scare them, force them to build up walls, be sure of love before u take a leap like that. dont wait to long though it might be to late. love is probably the most powerful force of earth it can effect thousands or just one life dont die without feeling love. there are three great things in this world
1. To be loved
2. To love someone
3. for both of these to happen at the same time.

what if they love bits of you that don't exist? do they then become real? or if they loved bits of you that did exist ... do they die afterwards ... perhaps they just feel cold. this is fatuous and serious ... ridiculous but true. it is cold when love stops.
