Life sucks, now what?

Question

So...i've come to the conclusion that life pretty much sucks and always will suck and people are just total idiots, so what do i do now, just deal with it for the rest of my life while trying to maintain my sanity?
its not really my personal problems that make me hate life, it's the realization that other peoples lives suck and that there are so many cruel and greedy and stupid people out there pointlessly making each others lives miserable and they refuse to listen to reason.
so for my fellow cynics, what approach do you have to your own life and what do you think i should do with mine?

all very good points so far

Answer 1

You die.

Face it, even if you make an effort, and even if, by some biazarre chance, you manage to make a difference, it won't count for anything.

Eventually we will all be dead, and nothing any of us do counts for more then a monkey crapping in the woods.

So suck it up, turn on the television, and wait around until entropy takes it's toll.

Answer 2

I know -exactly- what are you trying to say here. I see people constantly try to hurt other people for no reason other then their own enjoyment. I see people narrow minded about pretty much everything. You can explain something to them until there is no way in the world they couldn't understand it and they'll still tell you you're stupid.

The truth of the matter is, the first step toward being smarter than everyone else, is to realize that your not. You may be better than everyone else at something, but you have your own failures to endure as well. Things that you can't or choose not to overcome in your own life.

People are just people. Always have been, always will be. I take the approach to love them, as God in heaven first loved me even though I was as ruined as those around me. Once I accepted that fact about myself, I try to see through what other people do wrong.

Everyone was hurt somewhere down the line. Perhaps a person did something wrong. Did they do so because of poor parenting in their childhood? Perhaps their parents did a poor job because they're parents did a poor job likewise.

The fact of the matter is we all have to decide to rise about our life and circumstances the best way we can and to lean upon Jesus to be our guide.

We must learn to love and over look people's faults, help them when we can, and when not; pray for them.

It is all we can do. Ignorance is here to stay, but my friend the good news is; wisdom isn’t going anywhere either.

Answer 3

I hear you. I pretty much am bored at life myself, I already came to the conclusion that nothing else will pretty much excite me in the next two thirds of my life. I was ambitious before and had high goals. But all for what? What's at the end? What does the winner get?

It feels like I read the end of the book and the rest of it is already not interesting anymore.

Good luck with a good answer to this!

Answer 4

I’ve seen the things you are talking about and whenever I feel anything like that coming on in myself I make a sincere effort to put on the brakes. I don’t like people feeding off of me and so I don’t feed off them.

I have my own ideas for how to make my own life more meaningful but they are unique to me. I guess I would suggest that you look out for number one. Make yourself strong because you can’t make a difference in the world if you are week. Become strong and then try to make the world a better place… maybe you will get some satisfaction out of life by helping out the week.

Answer 5

Hi. Well being a Christian i have been taking some advice from God's mother Mary, who has been appearing to young people over the last couple of hundred years.As to the authenticity of the visions there are too many well recorded and documented apparitions to dismiss as fantasy or misguided spiritual fervour.( IF YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN ,DISREGARD THE FOLLOWING.)The Virgin Mary said : "God and the devil conversed,and the devil said that people believe in God only when life is good for them.When things turn bad,they cease to believe in God.The people blame God for acts as if he does not exist.God therefore ,allowed the devil one century in which to exercise an extended power over the world,and the devil chose the Twentieth Century.Today,as we can see all around us,EVERYONE IS DISSATISFIED,THEY CANNOT ABIDE EACH OTHER.Examples are the number of DIVORCES and ABORTIONS,all this,Mary said is the work of the devil.
Mary says "God is displeased with what has been going on in the world,his patience is nearly exhausted.Our Lord is displeased and that people of all races must mend their ways"So now you know why life sucks.I cannot advise you what to do .Everyone is different and has their own priorities .

Answer 6

Well, if you become an Absurdist.....the world means nihil and so does your existence, because the world is absurd.

Become a Nihilist....you are hopeless and might end up as Nietzsche....good luck.

Or better yet, an Existentialist so you can create your own meanings of life and what not....but in the end...when you die....death is life continuing without you. But since you create your own meanings, you can slash out against the oppressor and liberate the oppressed.

Answer 7

exactly! I agree with you. but suggest you change the way you feel to positive things or you will just be miserable.
we all have crap thrown at us all the time. you can only control how you react to all that crap. just don't give a dam and you wont be hurt. remember suffering is caused by desire.
desire nothing in life and you will never suffer.

Answer 8

Every one thinks that every one is special. Every one wants to be special and distinct. Why do you not realise that you are just like all others, and all your specialities are only just natural and not created or acquird by you? How can any one take pride in what he got as gifted from nature/God? sooner you realise thhis, life will return to you with all its charm!

What questions!

Learn at laugh at it, at least a bit, and make friends with other people who feel the same way.
