Answer 1

Ninety-nine % of the people feel the same though not many admit it openly !
Life is one big set of constant compromises made every day to meet the situations that keep cropping up day-in and day-out.

This is what is referred to by those in the field of Management Studies as "Challenges" and by the wise as the "joy of living" you may have also heard of "the art of living".

Look around carefully and you will find that people put in immense effort ( thought, word and action ) to meet their ends/targets. And still neither does everyone succeed nor all those who succeed are content with their achievements.

You are in no way an "Exception to the rule". You are the same as others are. Only that you seem to have lost heart/courage. You seem to lack determination / perseverance / patience / tolerance.

Meet a counselor. Make friends. Become socially active. Share you thoughts / desires / feelings / fears with some one. Or may be keep a few close friends so that you do not become overtly dependent on any one individual. Don't discuss everything with everyone. Spread it along. Be mentally Active, alert and agile.

Even if you are not keeping good health you could still keep a healthy mind and lively spirits, enjoy every moment of your life

You will soon turn the bend. Good Luck.

I know what you are saying Murtada,didn`t Jesus say that you are in the world but not of the world?
Therefore we have to keep in mind that although we have to co-operate with the world at times we belong to the Lord and He has first claim on our lives and loyalty,so we should always be ready to leave this life behind when He calls us.
