Why is life so hopeless?

Question

Seriously. It's like some sort of cruel joke. We're here, and the fact that we're just going to die one day and be forgotten to the extent that it will be like we never existed bothers us. It bothers us so much that we make up myths to passify ourselves (like God). How do people like me, a person who doesn't like to make up myths just to get me through the day, keep going any more? What's the point? I mean for fu(k's sakes, none of this really matters so why do we act like everything is so important, I mean we've gotten so caught up in our own logical facade of value that we make everything a taboo. Homosexuality, sex in general, and our own bodies for crying out loud, we're ashamed of those too. We even go so far as to make laws out lawing showing off our natural bodies, ad I'm the only one who finds that disturbing (and doesn't go run off to live with other nudists in a camp somewhere)? I mean people, come on, why do we lie to ourselves so much is the real question here.

Answer 1

Life has no meaning without a relationship with God, who made us.
God is love and love does not force Himself on anyone. He invites us to a relationship with Him, His arms are open to receive us, but we are usually the ones who turn away and ignore Him. Sooner or later we reap the "benefits" of our rejection of God.
Talk to God, read His word, the Bible, with an open mind and heart and your hopelessness will vanish. (Start with the Gospel of John in the New Testament.) You will have a Friend who will go with you through all the ups and downs of life.

Answer 2

Maybe it would help you if you did run off to live with nudists for a while. You seem to have an open attitude about the idea,

Nudism is well known as promoting a healthy stress-free release from the worries of everyday life. It gives you separation from the troubles of the outside world.

Nudism is for everyone, Straight or Gay; Christian or Pagan. Nudists are open, friendly, caring, and willing to talk if you need to and to give you space if you need to be alone.

You'll find nudists are a cross-section of the population and come from every background. They come from occupations as diverse as Nurses, Doctors, Teachers, Carpenters, Housekeepers, Farmers, Truck Drivers, and Gardeners.

You'll even find Pastors, Priests & Nuns, but they won't try to convert you. They are the ones who haven't bought into the idea promoted by many modern religions that nudity is forbidden in the Bible.

You are free to spend time alone to relax, or you can join in the activities with other like-minded people, playing volleyball, swimming, talking, and just having a good time.

You might find that trying the nudist life will make your other life worth living, just so you can plan your next trip back to the nudist world.

Answer 3

Life is not hopeless for those who believe in God.

Even if we suffer in this life, we have the promise of eternal happiness in the next life.

I encourage you to find God.

Here is an old Irish blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

With love and prayers in Christ.
