I am always sad and unhappy and confused . what is the real purpose of life? -

Is life only about earning money,eating,sleeping,walking,breathing only.is there not any real goal in life?|::::|To live life in the best way you can. To strive to be diligent, successful in some things, and to be happy and contented at what you have finally achieved. It would take time, so be patient and tolerant of people and things. One must continuously acquire knowledge and new skills to survive well, so keep on learning everyday.|::::|Life is meant for sel-realization. Anyone whose work is not meant to elevate him to religious life, anyone whose religious ritualistic performances do not raise him to renunciation, and anyone situated in renunciation that does not lead him to devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead must be considered dead, although breathing. TRANSLATION Do the trees not live? Do the bellows of the blacksmith not breathe? All around us, do the beasts not eat and discharge semen? PURPORT The materialistic man of the modern age will argue that life, or part of it, is never meant for discussion of theosophical or theological arguments. Life is meant for the maximum duration of existence for eating, drinking, sexual intercourse, making merry and enjoying life. The modern man wants to live forever by the advancement of material science, and there are many foolish theories for prolonging life to the maximum duration. But the Srimad-Bh?gavatam affirms that life is not meant for so-called economic development or advancement of materialistic science for the hedonistic philosophy of eating, mating, drinking and merrymaking. Life is solely meant for tapasya, for purifying existence so that one may enter into eternal life just after the end of the human form of life.|::::|Doing good works by faith and loving God. Anything you do to enhance your relationship with the LORD is a purpose of life. There are many purposes of life. Fast and pray. That will give you meaning. Some people think you have to work and earn money and pay to live. That is not the case. Life is a free gift. Money just gets in the way.|::::|You are not yet lived your life and that s why you are sad and unhappy.|::::|Being sad, unhappy and confused is unatural to the living beings, therefore one feels quot;sickquot; in this state. Its natural to the living being to be always experiencing ever increasing bliss or supreme happiness.So the living being is eternally existing otherwise it cant be always happy. It is also natural for the living being to have full knowledge, not being confused, therefore we learn, for its unatural not to have knowledge, and or being confused. The purpose of life is to put and end to All sufferings such as death, birth, old age, disease, anxieties, fear, hard labour and attain our natural state of eternal life, full knowledge and bliss. aspiring ever well wishing servant errol|::::|The things you mention do not make you happy, they are things we must do to stay alive. They are the bare minimum. The goal in life is happiness. We all are born, live, and die. The diversity of lifestyles dictates that there is no one true way, but the fact is that we all have a lifetime here on earth. The real purpose of being here is determined by you. You are slightly different from any other human that has ever existed or will ever exist. There will never be another like you. You are unique. You have a mix of talents the earth has never seen before. Your mission is to discover those talents and use them to better yourself and thusly, your world. You will find that if you discover your own greatness and use it to the betterment of humanity and have a positive impact on others, you will be happy. I suspect that you will find that service to others is the answer, the answer that will give you happiness by making others happy. If you are just earning money, eating and sleeping, that keeps you alive but does nothing for anyone else. Seeing that you have positively impacted another s life will reward you, give you your own space which you are the master of, and you will find happiness. Guaranteed. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is service to others.|::::|try to live for your family . start praying togetheer,sing together, eat together, rests together, lqaugh together, communicate together, and do everything togeher, You will understand the purpose of your life.|::::|Donot get depressed....God has sent us to perform our duties and to live happily....If life was not the things u mentioned, then where would lie the spice in life....We r lucky that we r human beings....God has given us so many things to do.....Instead of thinking pessimistic, enjoy in everything u do and chill up....Life is too short to be wasted in -ve thoughts...|::::|Why People feel Sad? When things do not happen, as we expect, we tend to feel sad. This can be overcome with Meditation. What is meditation? It is done in two ways. Meditation is constantly concentrating on one thing (mostly on some form) for a long period of time. It is also concentrating on nothing. Meditation is a point where we come to a state of mind which thinks quot;nothingquot; all our inhibitions, ambitions, sorrows, joys, feelings dissolves, and untold bliss evolves within us and by virtue of not as a feeling but as natural. Meditation is the power which enables us to resist all the odds of life. Meditating gives us a natural feeling of attaining quot;above allquot;. I don t have to weep really when I loose something worldly valuable thing for i know the fact that it is with me for some time. We had to depart of the things. Above all of hunger, sorrows, ecstasies, feelings of pain, distress, cold, hot etc. Meditation is the power of resistance. Would not it be like heaven, freedom? If you could change the nature. Now, that you had that power in yourself, surely it would be.|::::|Ah ha! You seem like the type of person who does what he s told (I assume you re a man) and follow through the quot;normalquot; processes of life without any question as to quot;whyquot; they are done in such a way. Am I correct? Others can give you a long list of quot;realquot; goals to accomplish, but you won t have any lasting happiness unless they re goals of your own! Life... all about sacrifices. Do what YOU want (to the extreme), and you re okay with yourself but not with others. Do what THEY want (to the extreme) and you re okay with others but not yourself. Find a balance between the two and you ll be reasonable okay with everything in life, though, I don t think it exists. Perfection... is it simply at the quot;topquot; of everything, or is it the acheived balance between everything and its opposite? For if one one at the quot;topquot; of one, he would, theoretically, be at the bottom of another. There is so much to this world that our incredibly stupid minds can t even attempt to ponder.|::::|i d able to help u out here bt for that i need to know ur age gender location society family background etc. bt since u have nt given enough info i d suggest u to go for a nice vacation read good books and watch some really good movies. atlast would like to advice u, just look at those poor and unpriviledged people in ur society, who actually have nothing to loose and infact nothing to achieve bt are still happy and content !!|::::|Humans are basically the only species not totally based around survival. The meaning of an animal s life is to survive - to live as long as possible - and to keep their offspring alive. Humans are obviously similar, but the presence of a conscience apparently means that some are less inclined to live by this as absolutely as animals do - and since life is so broad, there is other distractions (such as making money). From this then, we can recognise that humans are all different and in turn the meaning of life differs for everyone. I d like to believe that to most people, the meaning of life is to be content, if not happy and satisfied, but that s hardly true. It is something to strive for though!|::::|The real purpose of life is to learn, experience all there is to experience, to find our passion in life whatever it may be. To approach life with our eyes and mind open and be able to appreciate someone else s perspective.|::::|no one knows the real purpose of life... every one have their own theories.. i too hav this question... its like don t think only about the target, think about wat you can do to achieve the target... since you don know wat s your target jus make people around you happy..|::::|If you want your life to have a purpose, YOU have to give it one. No one is going to do it for you (those that try to give your life a purpose will only try to make it the same as theirs).|::::|lol Of course there is no goal in life! Look around... Notice how insignificant everyone is? Hence you are to! Obviously there are the necessities that you have mentioned, but I think the purpose is to do that while having as much fun as possible. If you see fun as helping people and being a generally nice person then even better. If you have fun every second of your life, then there is no time TO be sad! And if that didn t work, then try this: No bad thoughts for 5 days. That means dwelling on a negative thought for more than 10 secs. If you do find yourself dwelling, then you have to start again. I promise you after that you will never be sad again. Or negative for that matter. (gt;_O)|::::|It seems that people are responsible for creating their own goals. I think your problem is that you don t desire to create any goals for yourself and you are hoping that there is some greater meaning that already exists and it automatically applies to your life as well. If you are not willing to set your own goals and create your own belief system about life, then you will always be depressed. It is for you to decide and that can be pretty depressing. Especially, if you really hope there is a greater purpose and you really want to be a part of it and not waste your life doing the wrong thing. So my advice for you is to keep exploring, learning, observing, and questioning human existence as we know it and hopefully you will find your answer. You may actually find that there is a greater meaning that applies to all mankind.
