There’s all the terrible things going on in the world, and then the personal problems, of course, and on top of that, people telling you things about your existence and then people talking of the afterlife, how we’re all doomed to go to hell and such. There seems to be no meaning in it at all, and I feel so lost and miserable.

It feels like a trap from which there is no way out, and all is darkness...

It's O.K. to feel like that. This means you have a mind of your own. Some people will believe something without any proof, just because everyone else believes it. You have been given a gift, you are smarter than some, and are now on a journey to figure out what you think is real. Life sucks sometimes, true. That is truth number one. Now, what are other truths you can find about life? Keep asking questions.

I use to think about this stuff, death, pollution, drugs, Killers, child molesters,phony people.I was born facing terrible things. I thought my life was doomed from the beginning. After all how many people can actually change their lives,starting like this. I was miserable I thought there was no hope. Then I decided to change the way I was thinking. After all I only have one life. And it is my choice how I look at things. I put thing in prospective, My life was a challenge, and peace was my goal. Each day I try to do something good, not ignore but not dwell on the bad. As far as death, it is going to come, I can fret from now to then,But I am not going to do it.Because I cannot change it. Live for today and make each day as good as you can. don't worry about the thing you cannot change and change the things you can. Plus name some things you are thankful for. I am thankful today for my sanity, something I won't let this world have. for the rain I love it, it washes the earth, And Jesus who is always there for me.

Sorry your feeling that way Forgotten....Yes there are a lot of terrible things going on in the world , yup we've all have some personal problems, yup.. if your lucky some good christian is sharing some of the things in the Bible(hopefully without putting their own spin on it).... and if.. your unlucky.. you've got some some so-called-christian, Using& Twisting the Bibles words, to some self serving,.. maybe cruel words to frighten and hurt others...sometimes... as way to judge others actions& beliefs etc... If some one is doing things..maybe,.. telling you things that make you feel bad under those pretenses... Pray for them to be better christians and/ or people! And were not all doomed, I know I am going to heaven, hope to see you there!!!!

My friend, Life will have no meaning unless you give it meaning.
The question is intensely personal, and requires a personal response.
An alcoholic who dies puking in the street can be said to have had a meaningless life, because he wasted it and through it away. Buddhists say Life is precious. That is something worth thinking about, over and over. Considering all the suffering that we go through, it really is a tragedy if we just give up and surrender to despair. Make your life count for something. Find a cure for a disease. Invent something that makes people's lives easier and more pleasant. Serve people who are ill - a life of service may not be exciting, but at least it is useful, and even noble in a way. You can find your way out of this. Kirkegaard is well worth reading.

Your emotions are shared by potential of many human beings. extraordinarily the toddler boomer era. there is been a actual decline of u.s.. it form of feels that purely some persons have values, morals, policies, or limitations. yet confident it could incredibly be frightening how life & our environment too has deteriorated. I easily have observed what proportion human beings don't have delight contained domestically anymore. i think alot has to do with lax enforcement, drugs, alcohol, and so on. human beings think of they are able to't stay without drugs & alcohol. yet they are able to! Dependency & peer tension are additionally issues. There seems to be a concentration directed on the damaging quite of the valuable.

Not of life, but of certain situations in life. If you dwell on the negatives they will feed on you. I get the feeling that you don't want any more advice just now. That's cool. You are your best teacher. Life is a gift. You're dead a long time.

Sometimes, but that's normal, human nature. But what you have to keep in mind is that one day, you'll be out of your duldrums and out enjoying the wonders of life, you just have to believe that you can, no matter how hard it may be sometimes. And it always helps to confide a friend.

life isn't supposed to be easy . it's the process of death . it's just all about living , trying to survive . don't worry so much about the pondering your existence , or your after-existence . that kind of stuff will slow you down (i'm not saying'don't think'). i feel like i should say something else ... but maybe i've said too much ... get yourself some offspring too ... yeah , too much .
