what should be done with people who decieve you and let you down so badly that you forget the meaning of life?

Answer 1

The question "what is the meaning of life?" means different things to different people. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many interpretations, such as: "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.

Answer 2

My honest answer to this. I have been hurt so badly by someone I loved..(if Im honest still love). I was once so angry I would not have been able to forgive, but now I see that forgiveness is the only way. Sometimes people decieve because they are hurt or insecure, there are many reasons why people do the things they do that hurt others so bad. I use to analyze the flaws in others, then I felt that God was showing me that no human is perfect, especially not me! We all make mistakes. I have made a choice now only to forgive and keep loving those that have hurt me, hard to do yes, but it is the only way to make a real difference in this world. I know it's not easy and I really feel for you. Time heals and the pain hurts less and less.

God bless you

Answer 3

If you have will power nobody in the world can make you forget the meaning of life. If you forget the meaning of life means you has not got the meaning of life exactly so far. Just believe in God and be happy. Dump such people in the dustbin nearby and move on. No one can mold your life if you are determined not to let anybody mold it.

Iff u feel like u can mail me (vent out all ur grudges n watever u feel) n we can b the best-ever frens.

Answer 5

If someone you care about lets you down to the point you feel like life isn't worth it, they aren't worth it. It's time to cut ties, you have to be able to count on people, to know they're there for you, and if they let you down, or betray your trust, it's time to walk away and let go. When the dust settles, the people who matter will be there by your side and the people who aren't there, never really mattered to begin with. Let 'em go, it's better to hurt a little now than to hang on and hope for a change only to have it hurt a whole lot more later.

Answer 6

Been there sweety, but you need to forgive them for your sake, not theirs!
You won't forget the meaning of Life, nor will you forget what they have done, learn from this, and let it go, you have so much more to life than another disappointing you.
Trust in yourself and don't let yourself down.

Answer 7

Answer 8

The meaning of life your is not defined by someone else, but yourselves. If you fail to do so, it seems you deceive yourself. Have a close look at your own in-depth, you will understand you have the capacity to over come such temporary MAYAS

Answer 9

Ignore them people like that have no meaning in this world they are nothing they do so because they want to feel better about themselves they don't have feeling you just need to diss them let god handle them what goes around comes around well well personally I like revenge but it depends the situation cause my mother didn't raise no fool and I don't think yours did either :)

Answer 10

through life you will run into these people time and time again. Forgive them and move on. I say what goes around comes around. You will also find there are good people that will remind you about the great things in life. Your faith will be restored.

Answer 11

Nothing, revenge belongs to God. You, however, need to forgive, so you don't carry it with you - that's only harmful to you. Move on..you won't forget but you can forgive - your character will be shaped & wisdom will be yours. Life hurts sometimes but there's a lot we can do with the pain. You'll be ok - I wish you peace with it.
