This is my view on life. Your opinion of it and your comment on life?

Question

I have been trying to figure life out as of late. At my age of 19 I'm already very tired. Yet when I dream I still dream of life. I am not sure how to describe my thoughts but
- humanity isnt as great as people make it to be. Personally, I hate humans, but love certain people.
- everything in life is always attained through struggle, even struggle itself.
- even those who seem happy have probably gone through hard times,
- no one can be trusted till they can prove they can be. And even then they can betray you.
- In 100 years no one will weep for us, no matter how famous we are.
- happiness comes often and is a blessing because it helps us forget. It should be cherished.
- no matter who you are, what age you are, where you are, the worst of life and best of it will hit you. More often it is the worst.

I have compiled these as my theory on life. Even as a child I was hit with some of the worst of life, and chose to forget, till recently.
I have not yet met a sane person, nor ever will

Answer 1

i'm also 19 and have put much thought into the subject. here is my conclusion:

-some people matter, but ultimately I am at the center of the universe and everyone else is here to make it more interesting

-because I am the center of the universe, I am the smartest person in the world, because I agree with all of my own views.

-happiness is superficial, and is based on a naive knowledge of what I have as opposed to what I could or could not have. however, the pursuit of happiness is the only point of life, and failing to pursue happiness inevitably results in depression

Answer 2

I think many people feel or felt as you do at 19. It's a tough age because you acquire so much knowledge about the world and people but you haven't always the personal experience that shows you the good and the rewarding stuff that is mixed in with the bad.
-People are people - wonderful and flawed. Some are both. The important thing is to try to surround yourself by loving and inspirational people. They are out there.
-Struggle can teach us about life and about ourselves. A life lived without struggle is an empty life.
-Happy people are happy usually because they have learned to look at life and pick out the things that they can treasure and appreciate. I wish I had that ability.
-Trust is a hard one. Sometimes we do trust the wrong people but we need to keep in mind that all of us are only human and we all make mistakes in judgment and action.
-In 100 years the world will have traveled through immense change. I would not want anyone to weep for me. I want to remembered with joy.
-I agree. Cherish your happy times.
-Life brings change. Good and bad. If you believe in Karma you will believe that a bad former life is bringing the bad times. If you believe in the power of positive thinking, you bring on what you believe you deserve.

I am sorry you have had hard times. I do believe that life brings all sorts of challenges and that adult life is a never ending trail of decisions and that we are the ones with choices to make. Sometimes they are good one, sometimes bad. Learn and grow.

PS. Sanity is over-rated. Some of the most imaginative and creative people have not been fully sane. We need them in the world to inspire us to be free.

Answer 3

- humanity isnt as great as people make it to be. Personally, I hate humans, but love certain people.

Humanity is still savage. It may or may not find itself in a higher level. Chances are we'll be starting over again like in all fallen
civilisations. Humans are selfish and solopsistic, but it likes to romanticise. Humanity likes its diversions, and self-accomodates to compensate for the beast within.

- everything in life is always attained through struggle, even struggle itself.

You can call it friction too. We're still apes, act like apes, but dream of a harmonic existence we'll never attain. Struggle may simply be what's required for the next stage, whatever it may be.

- even those who seem happy have probably gone through hard times,

Those who were born priviledged have a habit of creating their own problems, rather than impose them on others.

- no one can be trusted till they can prove they can be. And even then they can betray you.

No one can be trusted. Appreciate the transient moments you have with the temporary affections of others, because it won't last.

- In 100 years no one will weep for us, no matter how famous we are.

None of that matters. People in 100 years will have their own struggles to deal with.

- happiness comes often and is a blessing because it helps us forget. It should be cherished.

Happiness is overrated. Contentment comes from many things, but it doesn't always result in 'happiness".

- no matter who you are, what age you are, where you are, the worst of life and best of it will hit you. More often it is the worst.

It's how we interpret the experience that defines us.

I have compiled these as my theory on life. Even as a child I was hit with some of the worst of life, and chose to forget, till recently.
I have not yet met a sane person, nor ever will

You won't meet sane people, you'll only meet pretentious shells of prefabricated reactions. That's why people, even if they seem warm, friendly and loving, will actually not be around when you think you really need them. Much of our own survival is solely our own responsibility, and how we deal with the blows as they hit us. People think they need others, and are always interested in returning to their former state as a child who felt secure in their mother's or father's protection. Even if we weren't loved by our parents, we have that lingering instinct to want to be parented. It's our first instinct in live out of the womb. Even if people don't remember it, the instinct remains in their subconsious as the first survival act as a human.

Answer 4

My comments to your philosophies. (comparison to mine)

- humanity isnt as great as people make it to be. Personally, I hate humans, but love certain people. HUMANITY IS HUMANITY, EVIL INSIDE PEOPLE IS SIN. NOT THEIR FAULT BUT PRESENT NONE THE LESS SO IT IS EASY TO HATE THE SIN.
- everything in life is always attained through struggle, even struggle itself. I BELIEVE THERE IS SUCH A THING AS 'LUCK' AND THAT CAN MEAN GOOD AND BAD THINGS COME TO YOU UNEXPECTEDLY AND SUDDENLY.. NOT BY STRUGGLE ALWAYS.
- even those who seem happy have probably gone through hard times, HARD TIMES ARE INEVITABLE FOR ALL OF US.. i AGREE WITH THAT.
- no one can be trusted till they can prove they can be. And even then they can betray you. ALL HUMANS HAVE SIN IN EM SO THEY CAN DO ANYTHING SINFUL... ANYTHING.
- In 100 years no one will weep for us, no matter how famous we are. TRUE BUT DO YOU WANT THEM TO? SHOULD YOU WEEP FOR SOMEONE FROM 100 YEARS AGO?
- happiness comes often and is a blessing because it helps us forget. It should be cherished. HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A HAPPY UNDERLYING CURRENT EVEN DURING PERSOCUTION. BE SUCH A PERSON.
- no matter who you are, what age you are, where you are, the worst of life and best of it will hit you. More often it is the worst. YES WORST IS MORE PREVELANT AND WILL BE SO UNTIL WE ARE RESCUED.

Well done for 19 buddy!

Answer 5

Humanity has potential. In that lies hope. You dream of life because it's the only way we can go on. When you die there is no point complaining how sucky life was. I've had more than my share of curved balls thrown my way too but if you give up, nobody's gonna cry for you now even.. Learn to live, love, hope and trust. I also think everyone is messed up. Nobody will remember you in 100 years but the deeds we do today will outlive us all, in ways we cannot trace or comprehend. You are young. Your pain should teach you to appreciate what good will come your way in the future. That my friend is a true blessing. You're alive. Make it count. (big hug!)

Answer 6

:) There is humanity not sanity. Acceptance is the key
:)Working hard makes you appreciate and care for what you have earned.
:)Happiness is knowing what it's like to be sad.
:)Loved ones should be trusted until they give you reason to take it away. Then they should have a chance to earn it back. Mistakes are a part of learning.
:)In a hundred years they may not weep for you but they may have your eyes..they may even speak of you to their children.
:)Happiness is to be cherished because it helps us remember what is important.
:)When someone hurts you or looks down their nose at you..you can remember that no matter who they are they will pay their dues.
Live freely..love fully

Answer 7

My opinion on your view of life is that I respect it very well. You have managed to think of all of these things that makes life far from perfect. To tell you the truth that I felt this way many times. It gave me the feeling of hopelessness and confusion.
I asked myself what is next, are humans suppose to live this unperfect life and go through all of these struggles for nothing. No reward afterwards, no one that cares enough about me after 10 years not 100 years of my death, happiness never lasts and maybe never arrives, most people are cruel and untrustworthy, fame is gone long after, and no matter who you are, age, race , then death is coming... But why I asked myself???
Then I thought who created happiness, and sadness, who created trust and deception, who created right and wrong and who created life and death??? Is it humans?? or a bigger force??
If life is so far from perfect, then is there another life that is perfect????
How to reach that perfect life??? and where is it??? Can humans who are so unable to manage their own lives create this perfect life????

Answer 8

Sometimes when bad things happen to me, I say that there's always someone who is worse off than me. When you think of all the nasty things that can happen, physically or emotionally, just imagine how bad it must be for that poor soul on the bottom of the heap of 6.5 billion people. That must be really grim. Of course he/she probably won't be there for long, as someone else will soon take their place. At the other end of the scale must be the person who is feeling the most well off, out of 6.5 billion people, at any particular moment. How good must that be? I'm just glad that I'm somewhere near the middle, most of the time. Extremes can be scary.

Answer 9

i recognize who made me and that i'm confident. Yea i take advantage of to imagine about who made me and that i search for him and positioned him. Now i recognize Who made me and that i have a relationship with him. He made me for a objective and that is the answer to all of your confusion.

All you may do is pray and ask fo awareness expertise and expertise, and ask God to bare the hidden secret issues to you. God isn't the author of misunderstanding, the Bible also say my anybody is destroyed from lack of expertise. some human beings imagine there are some smart yet do not recognize not something. you should humble your self and are available to God as a baby, understanding not something, you won't be able to visit God questioning you recognize each thing yet visit him as a baby asking him to exhibit you and coach you all issues; And the added you recognize the added you recognize you do not recognize. you spot you are able to by no skill recognize each thing notwithstanding it truly is sensible to seek expertise yet you'll by no skill will be God. Now imagine about that. You be bless.

Answer 10

Shakespeare said " All the world's a stage'. Maybe this is really just some poorly written play and there is something better further along.
