Why keep living, what's the use?

Interesting. I’ve contemplated this as well. My reasoning each time I kept living was because I live for the small things. I keep living for my 26 followers on my cloud page. I live for when I’m driving and I smell something so amazing I just have to pull over and eat it. I live for my dog. I live for each Friday. I live for when I travel to Asia. I live for my trumpet, and knowing that only I can make it sing and dance. Knowing that if I left, my trumpet would sit in my room and gain dust. Never to be played again. Knowing that my fantasy book will remain unfinished. Metaphors, similes, juxtapositions, all will be left behind. It could’ve been a best seller. I live knowing that my sister relies on me, even if she has had two suicide attempts herself. I live because of everything that will be left behind. The pain won’t end, only passed to another human being.

Asking yourself why you should keep living is in a way like asking yourself why you should die. The answers vary depending on what person you are. Many people live for their families and friends, many only for themselves. There are a people who set Goals for themselves and live to fulfill them. But there are also some, that don’t have a specific goal and only live to experience the world. So let me ask you, why would you want to live? Why would you want to die? What goals do you have? What do you fantasise about? Who are your closest friends? What’s your favourite Character and family member? Who would you want to meet someday? What’s your favourite colour? Your favourite food? Let’s answer all those questions and see the world from above, where you can only see the earth and the humans there are invisible from this perspective. But go back to the view of someone who lives on earth, were small things are small, yet seem to have an effect on people, be it either positive or negative. There is no use for living, there is only the use of what you want to do with life and how it can affect others in positive ways. You can decide for yourself, even if you start from nothing.

Yeah it's easy to die and get rid of all our problems that easily. Isn't it. No. Life will have ups and down but all we want is happiness. It's human tendency to seek an easy path and try to get rid of problems. But these problems makes us strong. They give us experience. If you want to see sunshine, you have to face the night. Why so scared of pain ... face it and bring a change in your life. Remember one thing.... Today it's your time but next sunshine will be mine. So be happy face things .... all the best.

Take a deep breathe in and out. If things didn't get a little tough and tricky we wouldn't look at life the same way. Sometimes, hurdles are there to remind you to be easy on yourself. Self care is vital when it comes to your personal wellbeing. Remind yourself, to be in love with yourself. When you start to loving yourself, you will see the world in a different perspective. You will smile a little more, you will reach out for the things that you once thought were impossible. You will learn and find yourself to be content with life. Remember, there's always light at the end of the tunnel

To show the world the world is not terrible place afterall. You've been hurt, so don't hurt people the same way someone did to you. Find the meaning of life. Life is not just about the money. It's about finding true happiness. It's not easy to find or understand, but it would be great if you find peace of mind. I want to be a cheerful individual, a nice person, a good person, help people. Make the one we love happy and of course makes myself happy or content, to learn something new, discover things, share what we have.

Keep on living because every person has a purpose to fulfill on this earth. For everyday that you're alive, you're fulfilling that purpose. Life is beautiful, and you are loved and cared by somebody. You are somebody's whole world, even when you feel that you are no one to the world. Everyone deals with obstacles every day, and have flaws. No one is perfect, regardless how they make themselves appear. Every morning you wake up alive & breathing is a new day to take on and conquer your world.

Sometimes life is hard, difficult, pointless. We all feel like this sometimes. It's normal to have such phases, also if they are very long and never seem to end. It is a part of life to get through these phases, even though it is extremely difficult. There are people around to help. Like here on 7 cups. You are not alone with your problems and issues. Get in touch, open yourself. Talking to other people about your problems can maybe help you to get new ideas or thoughts. Maybe later on, you will be glad that you are alive, even though this is not imaginable for you right now.

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:)
