What Is Life? by makydebbie(f): 1:33pm On May 06, 2018
Please this post is not for the feeble or dull minds.


Is this life worth anything?

What is life?


Because, I've come to realize that we're just living to die. And is this life worth the whole stress of living? If my question makes any sense.

I've also come to understand you don't live happily at any point. Things will happen and situations will keep stressing you at every point. When you're poor, you want to be rich so that you can solve your problems. But when you're also rich, there'll be stress. You'll start trying to make sure you don't go back to poverty and invest wisely. You can't just sit and enjoy your wealth. Situations will keep cropping up. Sometimes I'm scared to be happy because happiness doesn't last. Something bad must always happen.


What is this life?
Is it worth the stress that issues will keep coming up and you don't even get to sit back and enjoy?


Being a child is the best thing that happened to us all. Because then you had no worries, as we grow, our needs becomes endless. We're insatiable.

What is life? I'm tired of living, living this hard life knowing I'm going to die anytime and my goals and dreams that I'm working for becomes nothing at the end. I'm tired of getting almost everything wrong. Tired of not being happy all the time and the stress that keeps coming up.


What is the essence of life if we're just living and suffering only to die. Because in this life, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. We're just going through hell, just to die at the end.

Sometimes questions like this looks complicated but very simple to answer.

As long as humans are scared of death, they'll never understand what LIFE is all about.

Christ can't help out in this case, it's a void that needs to be filled

It's thoughts like this that really make man evolve into who we are today.

Why are we distant from monkeys bacteria and non living things.

Because we are here for a purpose.

We have been programmed to keep evolving learning creating and passing information we garner to our successors to continue for us.

Life don't have a pure and understandable definition, you can only understand some aspects of life, but can't have a full knowledge of what LIFE is all about.

Your stay on earth will be miserable if you get to have the full knowledge of what LIFE is all about.

Just live to leave.

To me life is a battlefield you fight for what you earn or own you lose some you win some . Nothing on earth is permanent that is why things and times changes.Your questions are valid nothing like happily ever after but I believe there is something like happily sometimes after.Meaning you can be happy today and sad tommorow.While reading through where you stated being a child is the best thing ever reminded me of a poem Birches by Robert frost in which he stated that you lose nothing or think about anything in childhood.

Death Is inevitable. The onus is therefore on us to ensure we are ready for death by ensuring we have made enough contingency plans to continue our legacy even after we are long gone, baby kiss

It's seems life is a battle that you fight to lose.
I even doubt the happily sometimes after. It's short. And the real struggles starts again. I've read birches.

Will life and death even give us the chance? The way life just want to be hard on some people by force. Life wouldn't even give you the chance to be ready for death.

Lol in the bigger Picture, Everyone and everything fulfills their purpose. The purpose man gives to himself and other things is a Miniature purpose, a "fake" one. In the bigger picture, Everything Existing Fulfils a Purpose and that Purpose is ALWAYS fulfilled. The Universe is ALWAYS BALANCED.

I myself I don't even know the essence that is why when some people say it is all vanity I don't even argue.Sometimes these are questions one would need to ask the creator.Sometimes I see this life as a drama God the producer and director,Humans the cast or character and angels the crew(literature).It may not necessarily be a fight to lose because some people do leave a good name behind even if they are 6 ft under and are still remembered till today or even immortalised it may not be a fight to lose if some of us have fulfilled our purpose on earth.As for the poem it was complex and it took time for me to understand.

This question i cannot answer and i believe nobody Alive can. Nevertheless My contribution to this and to help with your post and these thoughts of yours, is that first of all understand, What are we all striving for? Plato said the Ultimate Goal of Man is to be Happy. So then, how do you find happiness? Happiness is Relative. One mans i don blow is another mans I'm in wreck!! First key to Unconditional happiness is to Understand that Material things DO NOT bring real happiness because they are never enough. They only activate a sense of self rewarding feeling but they do not bring True happiness. To me, i believe True happiness can be found in Appreciating to the highest degree, the Little things of life. Appreciate to the highest degree the sunrise and sunset, Appreciate the cool breeze that blows in the evening, appreciate the lovely stars that shine at night.. appreciate Art, Music and anything Artistic. Appreciate those special people in your life who love you and always care about your well-being. Think of Life as a whole as a work of art, including the happy times and the Sad times, Learn to appreciate this art and believe me you will find a very deep sense of fulfillment in every situation, deeper that any you've ever felt. Learn to Unconditionally appreciate this Chaotic Cage we've found ourselves in and watch yourself become free inside...

I do hope you Live free and find unconditional happiness my good friend.
