Opinions on life/help with morbid opinion on life? -

Well this isn t exactly much of a question but I was wondering how people here view life. Maybe someone agrees with how i view it? Maybe im just at a certain point in life where I m feeling cynical and depressed but here goes. I think that life is pointless. I know that people always say quot;you have to find what you re interested in and make that your point in lifequot; but that s not how i see it. life is just advancing from point a to point b. you just try to survive and find ways to entertain yourself while doing so, with the occasional killing of a life; creating life and whatnot. Most humans go through a specific cycle that leads to a job/some sort of work that earns you money/anything that will keep you living. We start by going to school; learning how to survive. That ll lead to being able to work, leading to earning money/services, which leads to means of survival. It s all just a pointless cycle. basically what im trying to say is i dont like humans. I don t like that I am a human, and even more so that I dont like it that I m not trying to do anything to change myself. Humans, yea they create life, but so do other animals. We use up resources but don t give much back to the earth, unlike other animals. So why are humans on earth? We re wasting resources just so we can survive, which in the end, amounts to nothing. Take for example someone I know. They re striving for a career in the medical field because they want to save lives. If you look at it this way, they re going to school, learning to earn a degree, to be able to support a family, to earn a living. The helping people part is just the belief that they re not just doing this for their own sake. It s sort of uplifting that you have an additional objective that doesn t include you being rewarded. I guess it keeps people sane and not bitter to have an additional hobby or something that gives them joy that keeps them from realizing how morbid life really is. I m thinking that happiness is only an illusion. Pain exists, everyone experiences it one way or another, and the feeling of happiness is just a temporary cover. Once the object that triggers the happiness is taken away, people are lost and sad once again. Right now, with the whole quot;the world is endingquot; controversy going on, its making me realize that I won t care if I die with everyone in the world. But I can t bring myself to end my life solely. If I know that everyone will die along with me, I m fine with that. I guess that makes me selfish and horrible person. I m sorry if any of this bothered anyone and I d rather not be bashed for my views however if you would like to tell me your idea on life it would be nice.|::::|I sort of agree with some of what I think you might be trying to say. It does seem like there is no ultimate purpose to life. When we re children, we go to school against our will so that we can learn skills in order to get a job so that, when we grow up, we can go to work every day even though we would rather not, but we have to in order to earn money to survive. Then we get old and retire so that we finally have free time but by that point we re old and tired and unfit and achy. Then we die. So it s kind of like you say- going from point A to point B. Life is a series of things we do in order to get to the next stage so that we can do things to get to the stage after that so that we can get to the following stage and so on and on until eventually we just die and it s like, what was all that for? It makes me wonder why anyone wants to have children. Why make a whole new person that has to exist through all these difficult life stages and deal with all the problems of life and then eventually just die in the end? It almost seems like a cruel thing to create someone that didn t need to exist in the first place. The earth is drastically over-populated with humans so we don t quot;needquot; to make so many more like we, as a species, are doing. Don t they say that something like 50% of all Americans suffer from depression? If that s true, then why would anyone assume that their kids won t be just as depressed as they are? Why make someone that is going to have to suffer like that and then worry about dying and then eventually have to experience dying? HOWEVER, the notion that you mention about finding your own purpose in life is kind of true. Maybe it just doesn t seem true to you because you haven t found a major focus of interest yet. If you find something to do with your time that makes you happy... and you stop worrying so much about life being pointless... you can achieve a reasonable level of happiness for at least a decent amount of the time. Who knows, maybe your interest could be writing stories or writing songs that express your view of life. A lot of people love to read depressing stories or listen to depressing music. That s just one option. I m sure there are many more.|::::|get a girlfriend.|::::|Well, I do want i want in life. I dont worship anything. Although i love to learn about anything.. I dont care about world ending. i dont care about other people. I say what ever i want to who ever i want. To much ego maybe?
