What are the reasons for living?

Question

Health, family, relationships, career, etc. What are the reasons that make life worth living?

Answer 1

My reason for living forsure is family I love my husband and kids soooo much.

Answer 2

are u always following my thoughts? Or may be they are synchronised. Anyways, I have since the day I started thinking means since my early childhood, ever since the time I can recall, have always had this curiosity as to what and why this life is. I have never actually enjoyed the worldly pleasures and Godly things clash seriously with the world's requirements as long as one is not able to renounce and has to live amongst others.

But I do continue living, have contemplated putting an end but there is no certainty and that path also doesn't give a satisfactory solution.

And when by design or by accident, this life has come my way, I can't cut it short, I have to make full use of it. So I started by concentrating on my career thinking that would give me a high but had to turn to philanthropy and felt usefull doing social service. People used me and I got disillusioned, turned to materialism, felt that was futile and there was no end to the race-one feels like a rat in the race.

So, presently, it is living as per Gita's preachings i.e don't expect anything and just go on working to the BEST of your abilities. I have been through drifting also but this is different, this is conscious movement, without expectations. And of course, one has to be INDEPENDENT and HEALTHY to have this kind of lifestyle.

Rest let me see, what comes next.

Answer 3

There are lots of reason why life is worth living. The greatest of these is that it is in this life where you learn things. You discover what really makes a person happy. Life is worth living especially if you share your love to all the people that surrounds you. You have your family, your friends and all those who supports you and love you. Life is worth living if and only if you learn how to value it. the challenges and trials we encounter in this life is God's way of teaching us how to be strong and be faithful. Value the people that surrounds you and you will see why life is worth living.

Answer 4

Reasons for living are multi-dimensional and multi-faceted. For many its the personal accomplishment of a loving close-knit family and seeing its parts grow and mature. For others its accomplishment in other spheres such as work, politics, tending to ailing parents, etc.

Overall those reasons that attribute to the sense of worth come from giving what we can in all the ways we can to make the reasons that others live better and better.
