Why keep living, what's the use?

People often ask that question when they cannot seem to find any purpose or meaning in life. Well, that happens because there isn't any pre defined meaning or purpose of life. Life is a blank canvas, there is nothing to be found there, everything that you want has to be created. That's what they mean when they say, "Find what you love and let it kill you" - you have to find the thing that matter to you and give your life working towards achieving it. The better you get at it, happier you will be and so will be the people around you. People usually come up with a counter-argument, "Nothing really maters and everything is meaningless". Well, the pain that you're feeling, obviously matters because it is forcing you to give up on life, the pain that you're feeling is there for a reason and it does have a meaning. And if you really think about why you're feeling the pain, you somehow already know why it is there and what is causing it. All you have to do is get up and eliminate that reason. Now, the main trouble with that would be that you have to go out of your comfort zone to do that and people don't like being vulnerable. But everything comes at a price, you have to sacrifice something in order to achieve something(be that your comfort zone). But in the pursuit of achieving something you have to know yourself, know what you're good at. As Einstein said, "you cannot judge a fish for its ability to climb a tree" - so know what you're good at(self awareness is a key element for self development), if you're good as a fish(metaphorical example) stop comparing yourself to the Horse. And as long as you know that YOU CAN BE A SHARK AND NO ONE CAN STOP YOU FROM DOING THAT!

Statistically speaking you have a point. Dying has a better outcome than living when we keep the odds of hardships and a certainty of a favourable end. But according to statistics we should have met aliens by now. Why die? What's the point? Whats the need to go into non-existence? By living you atleast have a life, by dying there might be nothing or eternal hell as per your belief.

I don't know how many times I have asked myself this. At different times in the day, night, it didn't matter, this question constantly crept in. But I began to realize that my experience, and my life, could give life to others. If I could share my experiences, and my knowledge, then maybe that will make at least one other person realize that they are useful, and need to keep living.

what if someone else were to ask you the same ? would you tell them it's a waste and maybe further help them by just murdering them ? No, right ? I'm sure you will begin thinking the same i am thinking because you asked me this. What i believe is you have a reason and a purpose, you would never know unless you just Live! Maybe you go walking down the street and you happen to save a persons life that was gonna just walk on a street and get hit. That could be your purpose - to save anothers life. Maybe you need to make a movie that could change the thoughts of your entire country and bring back 'Love' in the homes that lack love. Maybe you are inspired to do works of charity. THere is so much and so much more that needs to be done. It is only when we make our world small to the lives of just ourselves that we end up thinking, why do we keep living.

All of us need to keep living cause we never know what positive things may happen tomorrow.We are here,a part of this world,so that we can help others and ourselves to have beautiful experiences here in our lives.Set an aim for your life and keep fighting to reach your goal.You sound like you are going through a rough time but don't worry,rough roads always lead to beautiful destinations.And I know that life can't be perfect but it is very beautiful once you start enjoying it.Life is tough dear but so are you!Keep fighting and take care of yourself.

Some say that the reasons humans are alive is to become happy. Once they are happy, they never thing about life or death anymore. So, probably, life is a continuous work towards becoming better and happier persons.

your life matters. Every single person has a purpose on this Earth. Your spirit and presence does matter to someone, even if you do not see it directly. Every choice you make will affect someone else's life. People love you even if you can't see it.

You must keep living because people care and worry and think about you constantly without you even knowing and you may not feel like it’s true but it is

To grow as a human being and understand what you are feeling so even if you never fully overcome it, you can take away a little pain and help others.

There would probably be a lot of answers to this (and my answer is subjective and many answers will be) but Friedrich Nietzsche once summed up that: "Life can be meaningful enough to justify it's suffering" And the idea behind this is that all of the tragedy in your life can be justified with the meaning you can find in your life.
