What's the point of our life?
We wake up everyday, do something we don't want to do, fake a smile and put up our best face just to show people how well we are doing in life whereas in realty we all are just breaking apart more and more with each passing day. Everyone of us is struggling with something or other and even when we are aware of this fact we still see others life to be perfect in comparison to ours.
What is the point of this?
That was really nice, the way you broke your thoughts down. For me, I find that the point is finding happiness in the small things. Sure, life isn't perfect, there's always something that's going wrong but good times with friends, funny things you see, good sunsets, those kinds of things are the point of it all I think:)
@joyhk
Yes, maybe these things somewhere provide a sense of completion but what about the bigger things that cloud our view to these little happiness?
@suckerforpain How about "we wake up everyday" and decide to find something to do that we want to do (and not give up until we find it), don't fake a smile, but make it genuine and put up our best face for the sake of being kind to people and not for trying to mislead them about how well we are doing in life. And how about in realty we make a conscious choice to do something every day that will not break us apart more and more with each passing day but will actually build us up, physically, mentally, emotionally, verbally. And besides seeing that everyone of us is struggling with something or other, being able to also see the ways they achieve victory over that, or manage to have a laugh and a good day. And start being realistic about "others life to be perfect in comparison to ours", cause that's a fauly belief that will only drag us down.
Remember your words have power, and your thoughts will dictate the quality of your life. Much love <3
@joyhk This is such a positive and kind reply to the above. LOL
Making our own meaning, finding or creating it for ourselves and no one else, and helping others in the process. The little things that can lead to big things but don't need to. Having something that's our own to make what we want out of, to fail an umlimited number of times and start fresh. A chance to experience this beautiful world we live in in whatever way speaks to us. Millions of vivid moments we can connect in whatever way we choose. Being an end in yourself. Hope, blind hope that only makes sense in hindsight, for now summed up as "because why not."
@igetcha
That was beautiful but maybe only when we read it. It doesn't sound so happy in the world out there. Sure, hope does sound amazing to have in the first place but no one can have blind hope, everyone gives up after a while. It gets hard sometimes. Really hard to give our life a positive outlook.
@suckerforpain Very true. I just meant there'll always be something good coming, something there's hope for. Everything won't work out but everything won't not work out either.
i would say to be happy enjoy the great things like animals the trees plants the great things we should cherish but take for granted
@placidCity1574
I agree to that but after taking a walk in the park, feeling alive and then returning to the same old place where you feel drowned in your own thoughts, what good does this do? Even if we enjoy these things and even if we don't take these things for granted, we still go back feeling broken.
@suckerforpain Since when feelings should be in charge or life? And those memoreis from going in the nature and the thougts are all lost? Is it so difficult for the mind to recreate a balanced picture and not let the feelings trash it around from upper floor to the basement and back? Feelings are important, but a bad master.
You know what, you are absolutely right. We all are struggling and in order to change that we need to open our eyes and see the actual world that everyone lives in instead of believing the lies they keep on telling. There is a point in all of this if we stop being assholes(sorry for the language) to each other. We need each other but we all are maybe too stubborn to accept that. But this community that you are a part of, it makes sure that this gets changed once and for all. We try to be ourselves here. No one wears any mask here and I am glad to be a part of such community. I know the outside world is scary and everyone is mean but trust me beneath all of that is a sifter side that we don't get to see and that's why we belive that maybe they are living a perfect life and we start envying their lives but that's not true. Nobody is alone in this world and we are going to make sure that nobody feels this way anymore. So, the point of this is, let's join our hands together to help each other out. Let's not feel lonely and let's not make anyone else feel this way. You open up to them and I am sure they will open up to you as well.
I think there really is no definite answer to this question. If we knew what that point was from the get go, we really would not have to ask this question. The only way I look at it is that we have to define what our lives mean, how we want to live it, and what we want and can do with it. A lot of people believe that if they cannot do amazing things, then they are not amazing, but doing the things we love and focusing on growth while inspiring others to be at their best is all that we can do, and frankly that in itself is amazing.
Dont take life to serious. Go out have fun and dont give a sh*t about anyone
Just kidding
