You are born against your will, you live in utter confusion (Unless you get lucky and become deluded throughout the whole thing), and then you die cold, alone, and to no avail. All vanity.
That's it. There is nothing more. I'm basically sure of it as are some of you.
All the good stuff in life is NOT worthwhile. It is just there to tantalize those of us who are unfortunate enough to be cured from the duel delusions of hope and love. It would be better if I found nothing remotely beautiful in the whole wide universe. That way I wouldn't miss anything when stuff gets destroyed. So long as there are good things to be destroyed, I am doomed to grieve endlessly.
Why do ALL the world's religions have to be so incorrect? Why can't at least one of them be correct? If one of them was, I could finally stop grieving.

Well, there's nothing I can do to change your mind. There are more than 6 billion people on this earth and each one has a different opinion. But the only one who can make things better for yourself is yourself and God. If you wake up every day and think everything is just deadly horrible, then everything will be deadly horrible. You and God make your life what it is, and right now you're affecting other people by what you say.
Now my opinion is that Christianity is right. The only reason why it looks wrong is because of many stupid people along the way that have said they were Christians and then reeked all kinds of havack. If you want to know which religion is right, then research every one of them and try to find the one with the least holes. Christianity, from what I've learned has the least holes, it would be impossible to go through every single thing I've learned about it and other world views and religions. I've read many books and studied in different groups, and Christianity stands the best, but again, that's my opinion, and I can't force you to feel the same way. To be honest, I really don't want to force you to feel a certain way, the faith that you choose is between you and God, but I want to let you know, you don't have to loose everything in the world. Job in the Bible lost pretty much everything he had on earth, but he kept his faith in God on earth, and for that he was saved from his dreadful life here on earth. I am sure he is in heaven and is back with his family again. You may have an awful life here on earth, but there is hope in Heaven, and the only way to get to Heaven is through Christ. God loves you, Zeek. You are in despair, but you don't have to be. You should enjoy the relationships and the good things that you have before they're gone. Try and take what I've said to heart, and don't just give up, you obviously want to be alive, or you would have killed yourself by now, and if you want attention, you don't always have to be negative to get attention. I've already told you, I'm your friend, and we can be friends as long as you want. Try to make life better for others, and not worse. Thanks for reading, and have a good day, God bless.

The reality and the true beauty lies in the darkness. if u are able to see the darkness but not understand its beauty...life is horrible. in this way you sort of limit urself at the darkness. If u can see the beauty beyond the darkness, go above and beyond, you will find beauty even in cold death. If u really think about it...from the moment u get up in the mornin to the time u go back to sleep everything is really pointless. all the things we do and experience, they all die along with us and our memories. but the whole point is to live every moment of life that u r given(even if it is against ur will) and make it beautiful not matter how ugly the situation is. what IS pointless is to sit tr and whine about how life sucks and how tr is no hope. if life gives u lemons, make lemonade. dont whine about how u hate lemonade. just drink it. its not gonna kill u.
man its like u are born with a box of crayons, some ppl will have 8 pack and some will have 16. all that matters is what u do with those colours and how u choose to colour ur life. if the crayons happen to break, tr is no point in sitting tr with broken crayons in ur hands and crying about it. use what u got and life what u have. stop grieving.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour
That's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
It's 100,000 light-years side-to-side
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick
But out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide
We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point
We go round every 200 million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there's bugger all down here on Earth

meh, i believe you. i imagine many human beings ask the question "what's the point of all of it". i'm almost 2 a lengthy time period previous, and that i have realized that there is not any longer a aspect to some thing. i guess you in problem-free words stay to sense free, and if you're no longer satisfied you stay to make the human beings round you satisfied interior the wish that which will make you satisfied. i have considered a psychologist earlier, and once he advised me that there is not any such aspect as laziness (that's melancholy, or self doubt, or pressure of being rejected and so on) so i do not have self assurance you do not have discipline, perhaps you in problem-free words have not discovered the inducement or lack the boldness to prevail. ok, no longer to be a *****, notwithstanding it sounds to me that you're suffering melancholy. perhaps visit the medical specialist. i mean what might want to procure to lose. and do not get delicate with that remark, in my somewhat short life I truthfully were clinically determined an entire sweet keep worth of psychological diseases. that's no longer interesting, notwithstanding that's worth it interior the end if it may probably help your high quality of life.

Life, awareness - being, is what you love about all this misery. Stop grieving, but keep feeling. You're not all wrong
Just being here and aware is amazing. When you hurt , it hurts, when you're glad ... you are closer to the truth.
Most of the worlds religions teach the same basic premise, but the details can cause stupid war. Dumb huh? I agree.
With love;
Jonnie
PS; Oh yeah, almost forgot, you had no will before you were born ... will is in the world you and I sometimes grieve for.
PS... PS Study Bhudda you might like his ideas.
Oh yeah, again dude, in the immortal words of Homer Simpsom "Don't have a cow" please!

It's a test. If you pass you get to go somewhere else where you take a harder test. The thing to do while you're here is laugh at how absurd it is. There's an old saying "Life is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel." You won't find this much drama anywhere else, so cultivate your sense of irony and you'll find out it's a whole lot deeper than you thought.

Everything is pointless because it's temporary. The only things that aren't pointless are the things which are eternal. (Duh.) The Bible is true and eternal. I cannot prove that to you but I know it is. Without meaning and reason in our lives everything is pointless like you said. And with no point there is no joy, which is what everyone seeks. I for one have found joy from believing in the Bible. That's because by believing in it I have purpose and meaning. And everything makes sense. I know why things happen in the world. Like C.S. Lewis said, "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
Same goes for me. Now you get to decide what you want to believe. And I get say that classic line which is purposful and eternal, God bless you!

Wow, cheery. Hey man, enjoy what is. There's plenty of it. You don't worry about what happened before you were here- don't worry about not being here. Infinity is less than an instant without consciousness.Is life absurd? Hell, yes and so what. It doesn't make the sun shine less brightly or make me laugh less loudly or love less strongly. Don't let its absurdity do that to you, either.

Maybe you need to stop living in your head. Get out & do something to help others. You will be so busy & engaged you won't bother wallowing in your own "stuff". Focusing on someone else really helps.
Oh yeah, & listen to Enraged Parrot. I love that song!
