You work so hard to become something in life, and by the time you become something, you are already old and near death. What the hell?

What you say is true, but then Life is what YOU make it. I have been thru Hell. I am 71. What I wanted I did not get. Some of it my fault, some my father's. The sooner you discover what Life really is the happier you will be. We teach our children so many things in school, but we do not teach them how to live in life or how to handle it. Finding your mate cheating, having your best friend lie to you and turn against you, working hard as you do and getting nothing. I have had broken romances, I have been burned third degree, I was hit by a car and torn apart, but I still keep going. I inherited some money and have spent most of it taking care of people in need, and now I am almost broke, but it has given me joy. I believe that God is a power in the Universe and that he is in each and every one of us. I think that most all churches today have drifted far away from what religion should be. The Hell and Heaven routine has been worn thin. It is the old story of the song from "South Pacific", You've got to be taught before it's too late, to hate all the people your relative hate. To hate all the people whose eyes are oddly made, to hate all the people whose skin is a different shade. Fortunately, I had parents that never raised me with hate, only love and that was my salvation. I have mixed with all races of people and have friends among all of them. I now live in Tijuana, Mexico in a small apartment, and have made many, many friends. I go play Bingo, read about two books a week, and keep busy. The best way is to keep your mind and body busy where you are not sitting around thinking about yourself and feeling sorry for yourself. If you ever feel you are down just make a trip to your local hospital and ask if you can tour. When I was in the hospital torn apart by the car I saw cases that made me get down on my knees and thank God for what I had. I have been lucky and have had wonderful friends that I could discuss my problems and feelings with. Not everyone has this advantage. Also, I am a people person. I like hugging and letting people know if they are doing something special or if they look special. Some people will not give a compliment or be a friend to get a friend. As for work if you hate your job get out of it. I have had dozens of jobs, some I loved, some I hated and when I look back I wish I had done it differently. Also, today you have the advantage of free education on computers, different types of training through State programs, and also dozens of opportunities on home businesses, but you have to be careful because there are also a lot of scams. I feel sorry for the people that don't live their lives, and are worried that God is going to strike them dead if they have fun. The ones that really are miserable when they get old are the ones that did not live while they were young and they look back with pent up anger, and are jealous of the young today. At least for all my hell I lived, I enjoyed life, I travelled and saw several countries and how other people lived. I am now ready at 71 to go on if God lets me or to die. I am not afraid of death, as long as it is natural. I still cry over a memory, a photo or a song, and sometimes a movie that touches my soul, but life is still precious and there are so many wonderful people and things in it that's what makes it all worth living. Enjoy it. Don't let yourself get depressed. I have been there and done that and I was miserable. Now, I live each day as it comes and enjoy it. May you find peace of mind and start enjoying your life.

well, u hav to accept that life's like dat.
life is like a book, (i consider it as an exercise book)!
the question is very hard to answer and challenging,
and you try hard to finish it.
u start from the first page, and continue it until the end.
the question is hard, tough, and sumtime u feel like u want to quit and throw the book away.
but , if u keep on doin' the exercise, u will finally finish it.
u can't throw the book away, because it is something that u can proud of; the fact that u manage to answer all the question.
what i wanna say is that, eventhough u think that life is difficult and cruel, but however when u reach ur final destination, u will be satisfied with all the stuff that u have done. so, be patient, and never give up. because everything that happened in this world must have its own purpose.

Fortunately or unfortunately, wisdom comes with age, and I think you may have missed some points along the way. Sounds like you were so concerned with the destination you forgot to enjoy the ride

That is the purpose of our life. To prepare us for eternity, to have everlasting life. Live your life well and have no regrets.
