Life.

I'm not going to end my own life. Life is very interesting. I admire a lot of things and more things keep me alive than I would consider a plausable death. I'm very curious to the death stage, though.

Once you realize that life is useless, it would stop being worth living.... on that logic, I would say nothing is gained by realizing earlier nor lost by realizing later. Even if it is all illusion, it is interesting in all.

How many years will you waste before you realize that life is a gift?
It is only useless or meaningless if you believe it to be & make it that way by not really living.
Love yourself & others. Live with passion. Go after your dreams. Have fun. Appreciate the beauty in the world. Life is too short not to enjoy it. Make the most of it. If you don't then you have no one to blame but yourself.
Don't waste another day. Search your soul. What do you want? What brings you joy? Take at least one small step toward your goal today. Happiness is knowing what you want & knowing that it is within your grasp & then going out & getting it.
The only thing standing in your way is you.
Take care.

have you been reading Ecclesiastes again? vanity all is vanity!
well as a younger person i came to the conclusion that there was no real meaning to life that it was just endless struggle with no end reward.
popularity and prestige was nice but fleeting ,one minute you re on top next you re old news.
wealth is nice but it too pours through your hands like water.
you fight for the thing you think will make you happy but once you have it ,it causes you to feel emptier.You long for love with a burning, aching ,loneliness. you find love and are then filled with the fear of losing it and the stress of making it work and the realization that it doesnt fullfill you like you thought it would.
finally you come to the realization tthat life has no meaning,that you can keep stuffing your emptiness with all the world has to offer and all you feel is empty.
Im glad it only took 23 years for me to get to that point.because i then was faced with the choice of checking out or finding a new way to live.
I turned my life over to God and allowed him to recreate my life ,Iam a new creature in Christ and everyday has meaning .
there is no meaning to be found in a life lived only for oneself.The only real important things in life are my relationship to God and the relationships I have with those I share my life with.All else is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
peace><>

if life is useless then what are you still doing here?
you should'nt be here any more or maybe you should just end this uselessness by ending your life?
CANT DO IT?
though so, because deep down you are hoping your life has some kind of meaning to it, and it DOES.
just not with the mentality u sed to pose this question....
just enjoy the little things of life like the beauty of spring and the joys it brings...
and then meaning will come to it slowly... (",)

You're question is loaded - you should have asked, "I think life is useless - do you agree? And if so at what age did you reach this conclusion." I don't agree with your opinion that life is useless so therefore it doesn't matter how many years pass.

If one studies history there is evidence that shows life has improved it needs to improve more but it isn't useless.

By knowing the answer to that one would have to already realize it. The only answers you could get are 'zero', 'i don't know' or 'you're wrong'

Generally about 50, or so it would seem.

Why are you still asking questions after this realisation? Or are you already "dead?"
