Why keep living, what's the use?

The short answer is because you can. Each one of us were put here on the Earth for a reason. Our purpose in life is to find what that reason is. This can take years to do, but when we find that reason, it is our job to fulfill that purpose. The pain and suffering you must bee feeling is excruciating, but by putting one foot in front of the other and taking one day at a time, you can get through it. There is light in total darkness. Look to true friends, listeners here (and you are welcome to talk to me), and other people who are open to helping you find it. you are loved and we do care about you.

Because there is no meaning in life- you could become the leader of the world and it wouldn't matter. Your life on this world is meaningless but that doesn't mean it's not special. Our lives on earth our random, painful, beautiful and spontaneous. We can do what ever we want. You can do what ever you want. Follow a path that brings you positivity- don't aim to be the most powerful person, aim the be a person filled with contentment. That starts with appreciating what's around you, Tea? Physical beauty of others? Animals? Surround yourself with what you appreciate. Because everything around you adapts you. You are a constant changing being. Everything you experience teaches you something and knowledge is beautiful. Experience is value. It's not money, abs or perfection. It's getting closer to understanding the world. Something we all are working towards. Stay alive to see what you can experience.

I asked myself the same question a few years ago. What's the point of life? Why would I want to live a life of sufferings and die at the end? Why not end it now? And the truth is, life is indeed pointless. The only thing that gives life value is us, humans. Each one of us has a different value for life. Some just want a stable job and a healthy family, others want to be rich, others just want to be happy. Since you were born here in this life, you might as well enjoy it. Find what gives life value for you, what you look forward to doing in the future. You may have had an object you liked, perhaps you still do. That object has absolutely no value. It's pointless for it to exist, but YOU associated it with a story or a feeling that made that object valuable to you. Same principle applied to your life. So ask yourself, how do you want to live your life? Who do you want to help? What do you want to do? Only you know the answer:)

Keep living because of all things you haven’t done. Keep living because someone loves you and you may not even know it. Keep living because you haven’t finished that TV show or seen the sunset from the other side of the world. Keep living because you want to hear your favorite artists new album, because you want to eat your favorite cereal tomorrow morning, because you want to beat the next level of your favorite video game, because if you died then who would make sure your dog was fed every morning? Keep living because for all you know you could win the lottery tomorrow. Keep living because without you so many people will never be the same because you matter.

Keep living because everyone is put on this planet for a reason and you're wanted in this world. You are a great person and should live your life to the fullest and succeed.

There are so many reasons to live, I understand that right now life is tough and it feels like it’s never going to change but it does change after you seek help , then you and other will help to fix those problems and you’ll continue living a great life and get to discover new things and meet new people who may have gone through something similar and know that you were never alone. Plus if you give up now you’ll be giving up on marvelous opportunities but slowly and step by step Things can change and get better

You should always keep living for your sake and for the sake of the people you love, things can get rough and seem like everything is going downhill but please know that it does get better and that you shouldn't give up. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel and there's always a solution to your problems no matter how big they may seem to you. I urge anyone thinking about suicide to reach immediate help from Hotlines or from trained professionals. Suicide Is a permanent answer for a temporary problem and i believe than any problem can be solved appropriately.

There are many times in our life that we may sit and question our existence. It's a question that I've heard many times. " What is the use of living ? I have nothing to live for." That's 100% wrong. You have so many things to live for. There are so many things that we can do but we don't work to our full potential to get to those huge goals in life. Don't you want to make yourself proud? Work hard to accomplish the goals that you've always worked so hard for. Find your passion. There are so many great things that we can do to make ourselves feel wonderful. Why do you think that there are so many artists, singers, painters, photographers and so many other amazing people out there? They took advantage of that gray area in their life and put into the form of art in some type of way. Do what makes you happy. There are so many people that love and care for you. Think of it. If your younger you saw the way you are now? Would they be proud of the person that you have become? If your answer is "no", go out there and make a difference in your life. Once you do, you'll find your purpose and thank yourself for it.

There are so many good things in the world to live for. I couldn't possibly name them all, but here are a few examples: puppies (if you're not allergic), good food, friends who make you laugh and smile, and good books. The world is filled with good things, and sometimes it can give us the short end of the stick. But the sun must set to rise, and if you continue to see the good things in the world, then you will keep positive feelings in and negative ones out.

You have so much to live for, your life isn't even near the end yet. You have so much to do, so much to conquer and so much to experience.

Keep living because if you throw your life away, you could be throwing away the time where you could finally be happy with yourself and your surroundings. Listeners on 7 Cups are here to listen and understand what you may be going through no matter how big or small your situation is. It doesn't matter how big or small your situation may be, it's how you handle it, and getting through it is what makes life worth living. Remember, there's always a time where you will be happy, even if you need help getting to that point. Happiness is worth living through.

Life is a powerful thing.. we all go through series of events but in the end.. we do question is it worth it? But yes it is worth it! Life can be filled with so much joy passion and fun! You just need to find the right direction if you are lost! We all get to experience the wonders that life brings if we work hard to achieve what we want! We can all do it! Stay positive and push forward.. no matter how hard it gets! We all get alittle down and sometimes lonely but there is always someone somewhere who feels the same.. but if we didn’t experience the bad .. we wouldn’t know what the good would be until we knew the difference.. life is special!

Sometimes i think this and all the bad things I've done or have had happen to me come in my mind but i learn to push all that away and believe that i came into the world with a purpose and that is the reason i'm living and until my time is over i should stay .Sometimes ignoring the bad things help.Being a Christian helped me to understand that God has given each individual a purpose to live and that everyone is uniquely crafted in his own hands.So i hope this answers the question: Why keep living? Everyday will bring something new into your life

People normally live a life anywhere from 75 to 90 years old And depending on your age you're only a fraction of your there imagine waking up one day with a great job and a great family if you want one. Keep living because there's a possibility and small bit of hope that you could wake up one day and have a great life.

a cup of coffee in the morning, your moms smile, your best friends laugh, for the tiny humans that look up to you, hearing the words "i love you," long hot showers, late night drives, you are enough, the sound of thunder and rain, eating your favorite foods, the stars, all of the movies and books, meeting new people, genuine smiles, you matter, meaningful relationships, hugs, cuddles, your dog, you are worth it, inside jokes, you would be missed, fuzzy socks and getting cozied up with blankets, cute old people, to watch your little brother graduate, snow days, that feeling you get when you don't have to set an alarm for the next day, the cold side of the pillow, the feeling of putting on clothes straight out of the dryer, finding extra fries at the bottom of the bag, good hair days, YOU ARE LOVED

Living is a good thing. There is lots too live for you can live for a new family member, or another life event such as getting married or engaged or having kids of your own. I believe that living is important because suicide has taken over a lot of peoples lives including friends of mine but I learned how too just listen and be able to help others overcome the demons inside of that person. The use of living is that you wont make someone else sad and you may make other people happy that you are still alive.

Understanding that sometimes life can be hard, but there is hope and you may not see it now but telling someone how you are feeling can help you to get through this rough patch. Life is important and people do need you, you may not see this now but trust that it is true and people do need you

I'm paraphrasing Einstein when I say, we are here for but a brief sojourn. For what reason we know not. But we are bound to each other by the ties of humanity. There are days when I can't grasp the reasons for it. But I know ultimately I'm bound to those that love me. To those that have molded me into what it is they see in me. To those that have needed me to be, to be what I am in their eyes, and to exist. To exist. To make existence easier on others is to exist with them. Make it something worthwhile.

I don't know if this will help, but things could be better, but things could also be worse. Someone else out there is going through the same things you are, and by continuing to fight, youre helping that person as well.

You wouldn't have experienced a lot of things yet! There's so much beauty ahead of the four walls you are stuck thinking why do we even need to live. There's so much yet to explore and so little people get to live in the first place to live and explore them.There's scenic beauty you are yet to discover, the wonderful experience of love, the joy of celebrating festivities with loved ones, the amazing feeling of being on top of the world while winning something big or small, the adrenaline rush when you rush down a roller coaster. Make a bucket list have an aim ahead of the basic things like education or work or home or family and make list of things you would get a chance to explore all these amazing things. Life offers a lot of things, a lemon is just a quarter of it, there's much sweetness ahead of it.

Because you are here for a reason. There is still so much more to explore, experience and enjoy. Think of all the people you haven't met yet! All the books you haven't read yet. All the food you haven't tried out yet!! You deserve to see them. Even if it is hard right now, you are stronger than that. And it will get better, if you give it a chance to. You are not here by accident. Things will get better. There will be a day where you look back and are grateful for not giving yourself up. You deserve to live.

Sometimes it feels very painful to keep going. People on this site know that better than many others. It's okay to feel pain and to cry and even to feel like giving up. But why have you kept going thus far? Do you have a job, a brother, a friend who holds you up when you can't? What smells do you like? Rain on a mountain, rosemary on roasted chicken, cookies in the oven, freshly cut grass? What sights make you smile? The view from the top of a peak, your cat when you come home, a lizard on the sidewalk, a pretty bird? Sometimes all we have to keep us grounded are the tiny things that remind you to take a deep breath. It's okay to hang onto moments to get through a journey.

I know that some times, if not most of the time we don't see a reason for being here anymore. I have felt that way for a while but I have found that just the thought of never being here to the snow fall or stars in the sky and all the weird and crazy things about the people i know that i would really miss. I can't tell you your reasons to keep living because i don't know you but I can promise that if you at least try even if it is the smallest reason you need to keep fighting

I often ask myself this as well. Many say the purpose of life is to die and repeat the cycle. However, the more optimistic people believe how we live our lives is also important. While this is an overused and somewhat cliche phrase, it has some meaning. You could spent your entire time believing that life is useless, or you could try to just go along with it. Even though everyone has to die someday, you could do something to help those who come after you. Something to make the newcomers to life not believe that there is no use to life.

There has always been that nagging question that everyone has questioned at least once at some point in their lives. There may or may not be an answer. Nobody truly knows. What we all do know though is that we are here and we are living now, that is fact. The most important part of life I believe is to live it's full potential, questioning its existence allows us to realise how much time we really have left. This realization is what strives us to continue to want to live, love and learn before its too late. It's okay to question it as long as it doesn't negatively affect your daily life, at which point it becomes unhealthy. Wishing you the very best 🙂

Think back to a time when you didn't feel like there was no point in living. Even if it was a long time ago. What was different then? What were the reasons you stayed alive? No reason is too small. Think of the things, however small, that bring some joy or comfort. Stay for those things. Next, what would a life worth living look like to you? If you were to wake up tomorrow at not feel this way, what would be different? Maybe you would have different achievements or more friends. Whatever it is, that is a reason to stay alive. Those are things to strive for.

Even when I feel like I’m utterly useless, I try to think of the people that care about me, even if I don’t feel like they do. Sometimes we just feel down in the dumps, and that can be really challenging, since it can make us loose our will to live, but it can and will get better. While you might not know it, there are many people who love you for who you are, and would be ruined if you Where to forever leave them. Life is often very difficult, but sometimes, it can be very beautiful, precious even.

Life is amazing! You may be in a very dark place right now and I get that. What you need to do is rise up and figure out why your so down and fix that problem. Once you do you will she how amazing life is and you will want to keep going :)

The meaning of life can vary from person to person therefore the reason to live it is not always the same for everyone... Life is full of good things and those are the ones that we need to focus on. We can give use to our life in a thousand different ways and when these uses are rewarded with gratitude from others, it is then when we understand why life its precious, why it is so worth it living it and how we can use it to change maybe not the world but one person at a time. Focusing everyday on all the positive aspects of family, work, friends, kids and animals can help see all for what we need to keep living for. When we see change in others because of our own positive attitude towards life, we understand that we all as humans require of love and support from people around us to give meaning and value to life. All of that makes life worth living.

I believe anyone can chose what they live for. Each live has it's own, very special story. The story is a path we live, we can follow, we can lead and we can stray from it. It's always one of a kind, it's always unique and it is in some way beautiful. I myself don't have much goals in mine, although I was born in fire - to be smelt into a being of great empathy. I've gone through hell to rise from the ashes like a phoenix and I have chosen. My life's utmost matter is life. Not mine though - other life, life around me. I feel little myself, but when I look in people's eyes... I see their stories. I feel what they feel, see what they see, hear what they hear. To me - those empathicly induced emotions are much stronger than mine. So I decided that this is what I will care more than my own life. Lives of others. I didn't succeed in my quest yet and I didn't go far. But at least I've found what is the most important thing in my life. I with to live for someone and I believe... even a broken shield might save someone's life one day.
