Why Is Life So pointless?

Question

I have been on this over priced, over crowded planet for 27 miserable years now.I see no point what so ever in life. If your rich then life is ok but if your not your nothing I have allways been polite and friendly to people but it has gotten me no where. Iam afraid that inorder to get what i want im gonna have to be bad i will have to resort to violence and crime to get the things i need after all it seems no good deeds go unpunished and the people that do bad things get the girls and the money i fail to understant this.

Do i dare swing from a rope and ask God myself.

Answer 1

Your question worries Me greatly, the name You have chosen possibly encompasses Your answer. I just watched a program on television this morning where it was stated to not put God in a box. That We should all be more open to the needs of all People and that Everyone should be received, welcomed, and loved with grace.

There are times in Every ones life where We ponder the why of Our existence, and can't help but wonder what is the purpose. But when We make it through that dark spell, the answer usually lies on the other side. A lot depends on Our support system. As to whether or not We have some One to lean on during those times. If We do not, then the periods of darkness can grow longer and more intense.

I can state with complete exuberance that We are all here for a reason, and the fact that You have managed to stay upon this Earth for 27 years, when many are taken at much younger ages, only clarifies that. I am certain that You have already completed wonderful selfless acts, if You just studied on it hard enough. How many lifes have You affected by Your kindness, and possilbly even changed? There is a saying, "Come stay with Me, the best is yet to be," perhaps that is God calling to each of us. So ask God now about life, He will answer You, You just have to be open to receiving His response.

I have said a prayer for You, for God to come to You and give You the answer that You are seeking. My wishes are that You will stick around to hear His answer.

May God Bless Your Journey, and Your Path.......

I used to feel the same as you. I got some help (meds)and things started changing for me. I didn't FEEL the same. I started to go after what I wanted in the same nice person way that I do things and guess what? IT WORKED! It has been about 15 years since I felt that terrible, crushing depression. I still have to take my meds, but life is good. I don't see that world as bad or half empty, but as good and full of opportunity! Every single human being on the planet has something to offer someone. You just need to look deeply inside of yourself and see what it is that you can give to the world. You have what it takes, you just don't FEEL that way now. Seek out some help and then pay it forward. People like you and I have experienced things that CAN AND WILL HELP OTHERS. It worked for me.

May the Creator bless you and keep you safe and show you the light instead of the darkness.

Answer 3

Over priced over crowded planet? Are we paying for air now? You said it correctly the first time, your miserable 27 years. You've made them that way not those around you. Having money does not make a rich person. You see no point because you refuse to look not only with your eyes but with your heart. I am not sure who has hurt you so badly for you to think a short drop and a sudden stop mean you will see God. You need to re-evaluate your life...or better yet get one and a job while you are at it. It isn't being happy with what you want it is being happy with what you have. Only YOU can change that. Quit being selfish and living in your ME ME ME what about poor me world. I do have cheese to go with your wine. Maybe you should try getting out of bed a "what can I do to make my own life better" attitude. Or perhaps you should seek depression and by-polar counseling. Who knows, maybe you can find a rich Dr. where you don't have to work or worry about anyone else but you for the rest of your life.

Get a grip, get real and get a life.

Answer 4

Life is pointless only if you are pointless. See, it's all about what you have within yourself. If you have love within yourself, life is about love. If you have hate within yourself, life is about hate. Here are a few things that you can believe, or not. But believe me, Life is not pointless.

Maybe the only reason why you're here is because when you turn 59 years, 14 days, six hours, and 12 minutes old, you will turn towards a child about to cross the street and tell him to hold on because a car is passing through. And that child gets saved from certain death and grows to be a social revolutionary who leads existence as we know it towards a higher level.

And nobody will know that this child almost didn't make it, but he did simply because you existed and prevented him from being hit by a car.

Life is weird like that. I truly believe everything is interconnected, and you have changed history with very small actions already, even when you don't even understand how.

Cheers. And take care, please.

Answer 5

Contrary to the other answer you got,I don't think you're depressed at all.Furthermore that would mean that at least half of the people on the earth would be depressed because I know what you said is thought by many many other people me included.I guess I'm almost like you.I'm a good person and surely honest but despite that I seem not to get back anything good.I just try being and acting myself and hope one day to be recognized for what I am and do.

Answer 6

80% of humanity, the religious people, do not favor to ask the which technique of existence, the church tells them....the supernatural clarification. yet something else people can't swallow religious dogma, because there is not any information. no one can practice that there existence after lack of existence, that people are tortured or rewarded after existence or that there is invisible spirits operating round. i have come to 2 conclusions presently: a million. existence has no which skill 2. existence has a million meanings. First, there's a fact that lack of existence and annihilation awaits not absolutely you, in spite of the indisputable fact that the Earth mostly. this is an astonomical fact that our solar will supernova and go away the earth a burnt crisp, now to not indicate all the different extinction element activities around the nook. 2d, the million issues that provide us which skill are the pleasant reviews we can conjure up in the course of the fast era we are the following on earth, contained in the kind of the relationships we've with our little ones and people, and the 'homestead projects' sorts of applications. What i advise with the help of that are the curing affliction, ending starvation, improving literacy, reducing crime, combating warfare, helping different sorts of issues. So the final analysis is, we absolutely have a momentary which skill to existence, to decrease discomfort and strengthen excitement, except that each and every thing is lost to oblivion. To be or now to not be? "To be" is momentary and "now to not be" is inevitable.....

Answer 7

How about going the extra mile to make a difference to some one Else's life. What about charity work. Will give your life some meaning and purpose. You don't have to be rich to give your time and commitment.

Answer 8

Be your own person who is nice, friendly and not bad that's who u are why try to be bad!! obviously that so meting u are not!! so don't try to be

Answer 9

The only reason for life is to continue life....its called evolution, and procreation.

we only invented God to try to justify our own sanity, to control the ever increasing mass of human organisms on this planet. The Matrix has it right, we are a virus. Increasing our population on the host (earth) until we kill it, then we move on to the next. The idea of panspermia (the concept that we originated from another planet) seems to fit this concept.

Answer 10

Life is a wonderful gift from the creator of all that exists. It is our opportunity to experience love but also hate, joy but also sorrow, kindness but also selfishness, mercy but also injustice. You have important work to do during life and important choices to make concerning all of these experiences. Hopefully, you fulfill in your own way the flowering of your own spirit in your own unique way so that you may return to God as a spiritual being that is a wiser, kinder, more loving and in all other ways a closer representation of God who made us in his/her image.
