Im a young christian, and have not been through great hardship or suffering, but i simply do not see the point in life. I feel very little motivation to continue living, and wonder if this is a widespread feeling, or if other people have some powerful motivation. Many say love or religion, but i believe i have experianced both (i am a devout christian and have a girlfriend), and neither one makes me feel i want to continue living. That being said, i fully appreciate the fortune i have in being healthy, provided for, and having all the caring people around me, but none of that gives me a reason for living.
So with this belief, logically, life shouldnt be worth living. I have contemplated suicide, but am held back solely by fear of pain of dying and the unknown. So, i ask, what makes other people continue living, and do the majority of people feel the way i do?
