Answer 2

Do you really hate life or do you really dislike yourself and how you have no control over all the negative elements that you don't like?
It sounds like you feel that life has given you the short end of the stick.
The reality is that, sure, variables exist that you have no control over, roadblocks, setbacks and whatnot but you always have choices.
You always get to choose how you respond to these variables. If you don't like it change your response.
Your experience seems to dictate your perspective.
So perhaps you need to experience something different and maybe this will provide you with a new perspective.
So if life is dictated by chance, why not roll the dice see where it takes you.
What have you got to loose?

and

could you imagine if life was dictated by personal forces. What would that be like?
So you accidentally bump into life at a social gathering and it doesn't like the way you dress so it smites you with a neurological disorder.
Damn that life and it's big Ego, always taking things personally.

Isn't life better when it's random and impersonal?

As a cancer survivor and the receiver of as of October 24th this year, 17 surgeries. I have now as of this past October received 63 units of blood in my lifetime. NO, I do not and never have hated life. I have grown and learned at every turn in my life. I wouldn't trade this ride for anything. It has been wild and crazy and the best is just around the corner. Why would I hate that?

I am surrounded by my husband, 3 daughters and their husbands and soon to be 7 grandchildren. What is there to hate. I love waking up every morning and smelling the day as it comes into view. I love splashing in mud puddles and running through the rain. I love every single day that I am here because it could all end in a flash and if I didn't love everyday that I have the privilege of being here then I would hate myself.

Answer 4

At this point in the game I'm starting to wonder-- basically I'm ambivalent about the whole thing. But, dont get me wrong-- I have my days. And not only is life dictated by impersonal forces, but these forces seem to work always against you... hmmm, I guess that would make them personal. I think I feel(overall) that life is a big disappointment! Furthermore, lately, I fear an after-life as much as much as I used to fear eternal blackness.

Answer 5

I think you need to seek counseling. Your outlook in life is not healthy.

I think it is the way you look at life. Sure, life is a game of chance dictated by impersonal forces at times. And the outcome of what we did not expect is not always pleasant. But just think, if we did not know what misery felt like, we would never be able to feel pleasure.

However, It sounds like you feel you are not in control of certain aspects of your life which can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. I would talk to a professional for further evaluation and/or your guardian(s). They can help you find the tools to look at life in a more positive matter.

Answer 6

It is an interesting and very sad question. But...There are certain regularities in chances and you can make impersonal forces become more personal for you. If you do not like it, you can always change certain aspects of your life or, at least, your mode and attitude. It looks like you are a rebel by nature and do not go along with what you consider was predestined for you. It tells me one thing only: you are a strong person, a
non-conformist who wants changes and is ready to fight for them.

Answer 7

I no longer hate life, I did for awhile and i got counseling. All the chance and forces and impersonality mixed with good friends, loved ones and progress make it worth it.

Answer 8

You are special. You were selected. It will get better. God cares. In fact, since I am here I know that you want a lot out of life. You want happiness, eternal life. Jesus Christ controls history. He knew billion and billions of years ago how you would feel right now. He loves you and "soda I". Find a Bible. There are thousands and thousands of promises. He works all things together for good even though they do not seem to be good at the time. I was a hater of God. He makes up for pain. The pain of death, the pain of abuse, the pain of violence and loss. I know. He led me to you now. Hang in there. Peace out.

Answer 9

no,even if my life was a hell i wouldnt.. i would take it as a road to a new life,new name and new family..right now i have 5 kids they are wonderful, i am in the process of divorce and they are my only refuge..i filed for it because my husband was no good so i guess i will be a plant or a mother again in my next life(i dont have any religion but i believe in rebirth

Answer 10

Its our negative thoughts and failures which make us to hate life. As Allan suggested its the mind (which is not true you) who feeds itself with sadness and likes it so much to get distroyed. It will kill its home which is your body.

Find "good spiritual books" and explore for "yourself" by staying present. Never ever let your mind take over you.

"You" should be happy that you hate your life because you're one step away from the "true" enlightenment to the joyful life.

Answer 11

Sometimes I hate it yeah and I didn't sign up for it either but I'm here never the less so I just do the best I can from day to day.
