How's this for a question-can someone give me a reason to live? Read details before responding...?

Question

1. Don't give me religious speeches because that will make me want to go for sure.
2. Don't give me family speeches because I don't have one. Or worse yet...a far away brother who treats me like I don't exist.
3. Don't give me quality of life speeches because I am in constant chronic pain-injured by a doctor and a dentist. Too late to sue-statute of limitations up. Was too sick to pursue.
4. Don't give me...
Bottomline, life is nothing but a tedious task of maintenance and basic survival mode and I am very very tired. Even feeding and dressing myself has me exhausted.
5. Oh yeah, No, "go get help, go to therapist" responses-don't have the energy/financial means. Don't want drugs.
Oh, and I am a peaceful, loving, sensitive, humble being, and this society, culture and governments eggregious choices have shrouded me with a hopeless sadness for humanity. I don't want to participate...
So, I ask again-can someone PLEASE give me a reason to live?
I can't come up with one.
Thank Yo

Any goth or emo would love you to pieces. It's romantic to be so depressed. Don't you think? Then like the climax to a tragic song, BAM! You end it and leave behind all those jerks who tried to console you with the delusions that keep them going.

I can give you a good reason to live, but I really don't think you're listening. On the other hand, I don't have anything to lose. So here goes:

Sadness for humanity is needed in the world. Anyone who just focuses on what they want and how to get more is way more lost than you are. Sadness for humanity is not all negative though. If you didn't appreciate the beauty of human potential, there would be no reason to be sad.

More than that, you are not a helpless victim. You're collaborating with every other living organism in creating the world we all live in. As a human, you have certain powers that are generally not recognized by society. If you begin appreciating the aesthetics of the world, beautiful things will appear. If you become afraid, frightening things will happen. If you're in a silly mood, funny things occur around you.

The world is not a dream, but it's like a dream. The difference is that in a dream, you make it all up by yourself. In the world, you make up stuff that has an effect immediately around you. That effect is interpreted by others, becomes part of their world and they pass it on to others, etc. Expressing your despair has inspired a lot of compassion tonight as well as cruelty and indifference. What you put into the world comes right back at you in ways that depend on who receives it. So what are you going to do with this power? Are you going to "paint it black"? Or are you going to check out your artistic potential?

If you want to discuss this, you can click my picture to send me an email. My interpretation is that you might blossom if you want to. You are free to do whatever you can do. Good luck.

Answer 2

let me give something like this ... if that appeals to u, that's good for jk, for he can assume a greater status and tell others that, "see buddies that's just another feather in his hat... ". just kidding ... to make you at ease a bit ... here let jk give a quote first ...

"To live is like to love – all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it. "

--Samuel Butler

What you have depicted in your, that's there in the lives of everybody. The restrainments and pain in innumerous ways preventing the normal living ... may be this is philosophy, but that's a fact ... out side constraints which we do not have any control over just crushing our innate happiness ... to add to that the pain ... for which science has no answer ... or rather we do not have the resources to ... i just generalised the situation ... just do not think that ur problem is just a singular problem ... that is the problem faced by the mankind since ages .... to this question the mankind, the science and the philosophers were searching for answers ... the vehement serarchers found various answers and they came up as different religions ... probably u can also find an answer suggested by my earlier friend ... okay let me stop and just give you yet another quote from Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba ... if it works ... good ... the Divine Will is there for That ....

"For all types of sadhana congenial company is very necessary. Man is shaped by the company he keeps, so be ever vigilant of the air you breath; it is fouled by the foul thoughts of the men among whom you move. The pure rain water is changed into a hundred tastes and colours by the soil on which it falls. But even the slimy slush of the gutter has some chance to turning into clear water again for when the sun shines, it can rise as vapour into the clouds and then regain its original purity. To cleanse the mind, prayer is the water and repentance is the soap. Mere water or vim can not do the job; repentance must be followed by resolute determination not to repeat the wrong. You must pray for help in sadhana through Grace. Guard the wisdom gained from the snares of attachment and aversion; this must be the theme. For where there is duality, there is fear, there is decline and death." ___ Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Hope you get some idea now... jk suggests a change of atmosphere and place plus some "Prana Yamam" and "Sadhana" .... No more details ... you may or may not find out what all these things stated above means .... jk suggests just contemplate and look within .... Happy start into a Great Journey if it happens ...

luv and SAI RAM

I hope I helped cause it would be a waste to end your life over petty stuff. Cheer up somebody out here Loves you!!!!!!

Answer 4

i wont give you a religious speech - because that all people have out there is a nice make me happy fake religion - search for god and find him yourself - thats what i did - obvisiously there is a god out there (atheism cannot exist)

concerning the family - people out there are all the same - if you have a family member they just treat you better sometimes because you have the title called "relative"

concerning - chronic pain - i have never has this in my life i cannot comment to you on this - it would not be fair - but i could happen to me too - and i have meditiated on this , if it did i would be praying to God all the time because i HAVE NO CHOICE.

concerning "governments and culture" - i agree with you - but it more worse than you think - most of the evil that govt do is done in secret....

only reason for me to live is to get to know god and then go from there - because I know that noone out there cares! but you will find just a few people who might.

the fact is we will die sometime - this is a subject that everyone fears the most - they never talk about it and they ignore it every day and by acting nice and happy like wearing a mask - this is a subject in which i practice and meditate on every day!

If there was no god out there - then i would commit sucicide - but if there is trufully a god - then i will ask him for strength for live this life until i die.

Answer 5

My first reaction was to tell you that your reason to live is that you have a gift to share with someone. There is someone out there less fortunate than you. I also wanted to tell you that you don't need financial means to get mental health help-there are programs that can help those who cannot afford to pay.

But then I read your question again. And I see that you are totally negative and you really don't want to hear anything positive from anyone. And even though you don't want to hear anything religious, I need to tell you that no matter what kind of pain you say you are in, it probably can't compare to the pain Jesus suffered at Calvary.

If you want a reason to live, you'll find it, because it's out there.

Answer 6

ok so ur life sux ..but quit being selfish do u know how many ppl are out there and are worse off than you are..apparently you have a place to live whether its whre u want to or not its a roof probably keeps u cool in the summer and warm in the winter and keeps you dry when it rains..i'm guessing that ur at least 18 do u know how many children are starving and freezing to death right now but u know what think about urself and don't worry bout the rest of the world we'll all make bcuz things always change nuthin ever stays the same u never know when ur life might change but hey if u take it then u'll really never know

Answer 7

Okay, Salsa. I won't give you a 'religeous' speech because I've seen too many 'religeous' people say one thing and do another. The same is true of various members of my family.

I'm not sure what happened with the doctor and dentist, but I've seen a few of those not worth the paper used to print their certificates too. Are you sure you are without options there?

I can't in all concience say 'don't get help'. It's pretty clear you need it from someone. Call a friend. And don't give the bastards that hurt you the satisfaction of seeing you give up.

Answer 8

Why don't you research it then?Maybe you can show others that feel this way the reason to live.Giving up is the cowards way out.I would want to live strong,and get through it then to just give up on it all.Weather you know it or not there are people just like you searching for the same answer,good luck only you can decide the final outcome of your life.Win or Lose.

Answer 9

My husband and brother in law both comitted suicide within 3 years of one another. They thought no one cared. They were mentally tortured. It was the most painful and devestating event of my life. I still cope each day. It is hard. I always think how they must have felt so daunted, so desperate. I am sorry you feel this way too. I don't know what to say to help you decide to live. Well, I do, but you don't want to hear about it. That is okay. I'm sorry....

Answer 10

Because you are loved by lots of people whether you know it or not. Also you affect more peoples' lives than you could possibly know, in ways you couldn't even imagine. Just think to yourself someday your true "family" will come and rescue you from where you are now, and they might be rich, or they might make you very happy. A good book that I read that helped me understand the meaning of life was "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" you should read it.
