Answer 1

Your self esteem and confidence are low, aren't they...? I've seen your other Q's ..... There's always an underlying reason (I know, believe me) and unless you spill the beans and address THAT situation, you WILL feel like you want the earth to swallow you up.... and then what does that prove....?

You are special... someone may need you more than you know, are you going to deprive all your friends and admirers of your company , your knowledge, your friendship ... your smile..?

why the love hearts? ...it shows you care for something/someone... and that's a start.... if helping others along the way means you have improved things just a little then that should be your reward.... why look for some extravagant lifestyle or mind-boggling technical job, why the need for everything material if smiles and love mean nothing?

It's friday evening .. get your mates on the phone and if you're all too skint to go out and catch a movie, then have them come round...talk things over with them, that's what they are there for.... Had a bad week? Read the news .! Your life may be at a crossroads .... one full of choices and no decisions.... I wont tell you to pray and ask for guidance.. but whether you're religious or not, you've nothing to lose or be ashamed for.... talking to anyone at all right now will help..and you've made a start so well done. I dont wanna end my ramblings but i dont want to bore you or the other guys waiting to add their bit... but remember this, we're always here... If you need a natter, just holler.. ..Now, pick up the phone and get your mates round.... chin up babe... there's a sunbeam around here somewhere, I'll see if I can find you one ... but you have to LOOK for it.

Answer 2

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.

I've come to two conclusions recently:

1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.

To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

Answer 3

Meaning, purpose, what are we doing here--all the same question. I believe we first have to find out what we can contribute that is unique. Each of us has a talent that no one else has. When we have accomplished living well and contributing, (not just surviving) we shall have evolved our existence and furthered the universe toward evolving, however infinitesimal that may be. Of course this evolving would be the result of living well. Considering that some people's actions could cancel out ---but still I am an idealist and believe that good triumphs.
Start a journal and write down how you feel. Read it in a few days and you will feel better. Try to rely on yourself for feeling OK. Sometimes other people will let you down when you need them. We love you!

Answer 4

PHILOSOPHICALLY:
To enjoy it while it lasts and explore the richness of life in every corner. To learn every bit of information there is in the world during your life. To love others and experience what makes us human, both the good and the bad. And to make an impact in history in a small way or in a legendary way. To feel the philosophy or religion of the great surround us and either accept it or just grasp the knowledge. Or like you, to sate your curiosity of the everyday mysteries of life that lurk everywhere. And in fact life does not even have to relate to god (whether you believe or not, it's fine).

SCIENTIFICALLY:
The big bang and from the first organisms. So saying overall that there really is no meaning.

COMICALLY:
The answer is 42 from the book "Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy", which the mice or rats were conceived of. And other random crap like that.

PERSONALLY:
It depends on each and every one of us. Based on what we like, want, need, have, and believe.

Answer 5

You were brought into this world for a reason. I had a disability hit me when I was 22, some of my family members told my parents to watch me because of suicide. I confronted this aunt and uncle, I told them that I never thought of suicide for numbers of reasons, the number one reason was loved ones. Think of what it would put them through if you did it, I accepted myself for what happened and looked ahead. I am now somewhat over the disability and continue with a hobby I always had. My life is better , I suggest you think ahead and talk to someone.

Answer 6

"What IS", is the meaning. It is useless to try to give meaning to what already has meaning! Stand up and BE brave. You cannot escape what you must go through. Killing yourself is not the answer because you will still exist and so will your problems. Peace be with you!

Answer 7

ohh a suicide girl??? as much as I'll like to say "just get it over with", life is all about finding a hobby. something you like and would hold no matter what. as for the suicide, well the best way is just talking, but if you fell there's no way out, TALK some more. dont be stupid enough to leave this great lustfull world :D

Answer 8

i'm atheist, so i don't think it pertains to religion.

the meaning of life is to be happy, enjoy yourself, make relationships with people, and to learn about yourself and the world.

don't kill yourself.
i always thought about how silly it is to end your life
because you can just change things dramatically and have an entirely different life.
if you hate your life so much
then make a huge change.
do it now.

what makes you unhappy?

Answer 9

It means that you are not dead.

No one can give you the meaning to something that you are. Life is not how you live, it is that you are alive.
