Why am I alive?

[Bruces]

i wish I knew what I was here for?

i wish I knew what I was here for?

Wouldn't we all like to know.. I know lately I've been here to suffer severe burn out and extreme anxiety about my job and finances.

 

[Flump]

I ask myself that everyday

There may or may not be a true answer to that question, but we'll never have it answered, not in this lifetime. So, I wouldn't ponder it too much.

I just wonder why it's only constant pointless misery

That's a huge and important question. Why is does suffering so outweigh joy? And when joys are obtained, the joy is felt only momentarily. There is a wicked asymmetry between the two, and it would be nice to at least know why.

How do I decide if life is worthwhile? At 45 I very much doubt that life is going to improve that much now is it,I could end my life but that has consequences on family!

I don't know why am I here or anyone else for that matter. If you think scientifically, there is no purpose to our existence except to perhaps propagate. The connections we make while we live, lives we affect are what gives meaning to our lives.

Now personally for me, i feel invisible on good days and loathed on bad ones.. Neither are cause for comfort. I just wish there was someone with whom i could mutually connect but as years go by, the hope wanes.

I really hope each day that my waking hours are less and my sleep longer.. I just feel like I don't belong in the world of living anymore..

Sorry if I have been too dramatic, just feeling very blue right now..
