What is the point?

Everything has a point or rather should have a point. If the universe originated from 'nothing', a 'point 'must surely have succeeded. A 'point' comes after a 'nothing' and 'nothing' comes after a 'point'.
Confused? So am I. This point has always baffled me and I have been constantly asking myself questions like ' What is the point?'. But let me try to explain. we try to search for a point or a sense of purpose to remove the pointlessness in our life, but what worries us more is the pointlessness that follows after the point is reached.
It has been years when our geometry teacher taught us how a fixed point is necessary to draw a circle. And yes it has been years that i have been searching for the same point about which my life could revolve.
There are times when you have to face 'it'. They call 'it' as 'a deafening silence'. This deafening silence is not just an oxymoron but is strangely palpable. It brings you to a pointlessness and then you start wondering if 'pointlessness' is the only 'point'. It has been long that i have been wondering that 'what is the point?'.
There are many like me who ask this question to themselves daily. But this has to remain unanswered, for if it is answered than what is the point?
I am amazed how a 'point' can be so important that people keep searching for it throughout there life. I amazed how a 'point' can lead you from the infinitesimal to the infinite. I am amazed how a 'point' can take you to another 'point' and you could thus move on a continous graph of life. The infinite is full of points but then you have to search your's and complete your circle....

thrs a point in reading such a "pointing" article.it makes u point fingers at what was the point behind the author's view of point that whether point is a point or is it nothing but simply a point...

there is no point.
point does not exist. it exists only when a set of lines meet. as one takes away the lines, the point disappears. so the point did not exist in the first place. it only 'appears' to exist. its same as peeling of an onion, you take away one layer after another and then you come to a point when there is nothing, it was as if there existed no onion in the first place.
the same is true with life, what appears to really important is actually not, and what doesnt actually is.

well u dont knw me.....bt i've got smthn 2 say abat vat u wrote.vat i feel aftr dat it shows ur helplessness.prhaps it's far apart 4rm vat ya think,prhaps u cunt put vat u feel on a damm papr.
u knw whoz d goddam boss of all this.....our brain.but unfortunately jst a small part of our body is calld brain.rest of d things r smthn else.they hv got their own speed of wrkin.most of these speeds dont match wid d unenvisagable velocity of our brain.thus d diffrence occrs.vat i reckon is dat ur mind is runnin wid a very high speed,u ve got a mammoth area of thinkin but.......aftr all u r human.n it taks a hell out of courage 2 challenge humanity.ur othr organs cant wrk wid ur mind with an xpctd synchronisation.
THATS Y U KEEP RUNNIN BEHIND THE POINT.
well i jst wrote vat i felt.i think u can reckon a little by nw dat vat all i felt n vat kinda crap i use 2 think ovr.
jst lemme knw if u conclude dat vatevr i felt abat u was rite 2 sm xtent othrwise jst ignore by callin me psyco or sick or vatevr u feel like......
take care.
all luck.

Well, personally I think that you should not (nor should I) limit your self and your existence to a point, and to a circle around it. To me life is a path...loops may be there but the path goes on.....
