What's the point of living if you will never be happy or have the things you want?

Answer 1

Life is what you make of it. Only you can make yourself happy and only you can get the things that you want. Take the bull by the horns and just go for it. Not one person will tell you that life is easy, and it doesn't come with a handbook. Decide what you want, right down the steps that you need to take to get there and just GO.

Answer 2

NEVER?
Never happy ?

I was told by some friends that I should be leary of things that say ALWAYS or NEVER as these are the extremes.

Instead sometimes we are unhappy or happy , sometimes we get things we like or sometimes we do not get things we want-----

I sometimes get a bit dissillusioned with life and find myself saying----oh whats the point of my life-------that is often when I need to take a bit of a break-----get a little change of pace----connect with a friend etc and then after a little of this I feel a bit better---

I think all of us are here for a reason-------and it is our life's quest to try to figure this out--------each of us has something we can contribute

Understanding what you value and like will help you better find ways of making yourself feel happy------you are actually the key your own happiness-------some people have many things---wealth, friends, expensive cars, jewelry, houses etc----and are still not happy------they haven't found themselves yet and where their true sense of happiness lies---------other people have very limited material possessions----they may have little money, or health, or opportunities and yet they are a very happy person-----why is this? I think that this person may have found out what they value in life and find ways to live according to their values each day-----and therefore they fill themselves with happiness---

There is one other thing that comes to mind-----sometimes our moods can be very negative if we are suffering from a physically based depression. In this circumstance it is sometimes quite hard to just get yourself out of it by yourself------you may need some antidepressant medication.

I know many people who in the middle of their depression had extremely dark times and thought it was entirely impossible or very hopeless to have anything good happen in their futures---yet after seeing a doctor and being treated both medically and with talk therapies-----their outlook was much improved-------something they could not imagine ever happening------their problem had a strong physical component------

So I think you are in charge of your own happiness-------determining what your contribution to the world is and what you value etc--------and sometimes , if unhappiness is persistent a visit to the doctor may be what is needed -----as your negative mood may also have a physical basis that could be easily treated.

I think it is unrealistic to expect all unhappiness or all happiness----but some of each is possible----

Why deny yourself happiness-????? It is possible for us all------

and I wish it for you ------

Answer 3

You have to learn to be happy with what you have. Stop trying to gain things that you cannot have. People could be ridiculously happy if they learned to enjoy the lives they have and stop trying to attain what is not meant for them.
