Do you believe that life is worth living?

[sserafim]

Personally, I don't think that (my) life is worth living. "Life is a pointless, undeserved, unnecessary pain."

 

[RosesFlourish]

If someone is lucky, then yes life is worth it. But not everyone is so fortunate to have loved ones, to be healthy and mostly happy.

I'm sorry to hear you're in pain. :(

I agree. That's the point. It can be beautiful this life. But some people went through things at an early age and will never be able to recover and heal from it. Cause nobody cares or helps as long as you can think and walk.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I guess it can be worth living for most people even though I don't understand how they enjoy living to begin with. In my case, my life is not worth living at all as there isn't anything that I like from existence and existence for me is more suffering than it is pleasure

 

[UKscotty]

For normal people yes. They get joy and pleasure in things.

For those of us with depression, not so much.

Do those things matter though? Or are they just copes from the ultimate meaninglessness of life?

I guess it's better than nothingness, as nothingness is a meaningless concept as you could say infinite humans do not exist yet or never will.

I just think a normal mind will want to live and enjoy life. A normal mind would never understand the desire to CTB. Just like a depressed mind can't see the point in living. They are opposite.

The most f'cked up thing is that it's almost entirely out of your hand. It really depends on the "hand" you were dealt at birth imo. Good-looking/bad-looking, tall/short, caring family/abusive family, poor family/wealthy family, stable mental health/poor mental health etc. etc.

I guess I'm good-looking, wealthy family, poor mental health, but I don't believe that having work for a living just to survive is meaningful or fulfilling. I'd rather die. Work is literally modern day slavery, and once you become an adult you're in that state for the majority of your adulthood. You have to slave away for 50-60 years just to afford the costs of survival on this planet.

If I go, I won't know. But whilst I'm here, I feel every single bump in the road.

I don't consider myself weak. I can deal with physical pain and I'd be happy to fight if called upon. But the mental battle is worse than anything. By a wide margin.

I know it would only take one wave I couldn't handle to send me over.

When I'm in the worst of the dread and depression, I can't see reason. It's like I'm possessed and my decisions are being made for me.

When I'm out I'm terrified by what just happened.

And now that's my life. Waiting, fearfully for its return.

Well if you call that life, I'll take a pass.

I don't expect to be happy all the time. I'd be grateful with some of the time.

 

[Meteora]

even though I don't understand how they enjoy living to begin with.

I was asking myself this for so many years. Why don't they think of suicide, why do they enjoy life? I wanted to have an answer and that kept me going. Now I know why.....

On a spinning rock in infinite nothingness that is ever expanding. With not one wink of an explanation for its purpose. If this is a simulation then level me up ffs.

[ultrasharpy123456]

Me personally, I think it can be just not this life as it is. I have a desired reality I want to live in that is beautiful, absolutely beautiful and I want to live there. I've seen it it's amazing. It's objectively speaking much better than this reality. I want to be in my desired reality, I would do anything to be in my desired reality.

 

[Homo erectus]

I am already looking beyond this life. I still don't know if I should prepare for nothingness or reincarnation, and if there is any choice at all.

 

[TheSpookyNameGuy]

No. I hate playings the sims.

That's all life is, i have to care for this disgusting avatar that won't give me any fucking peace.

Stop being hungry and sad you whiny motherfucker, shut the fuck up and be content you fucking troglodyte.

Cook, clean, eat, shit, piss, sleep, socialise, work, fight ilness..

Man when im dead peace will be un fucking real fellas, lets raise a glass to permanent peace

 

[MatrixPrisoner]

Absolutely not. The human race is vile, disgusting and pathetic. Most of the people that happen to live happy lives are only able to do so because they fuck other people over and take advantage of them.

Everything is a gdamn scam. Everyone is out to gouge each other and suck one another's blood as much as possible in order to be able to "have more".

And we value and celebrate the dumbest shit. Millions of dollars per year for people to play with a stupid fcking ball, while the people that do the jobs to maintain the infrastructure necessary for people to live can barely afford groceries.

Billions of sheeple NPC morons making life unbearable. So pointless and stupid.

Same.. I just feel bad for my family. Even though I blame them a little for not being there for me when I was younger, they still don't deserve this, but I don't think I can live a good life again. I messed up to much at this point.

Yes, they say having personal contact and interaction make people live longer. I don't really want to contact other people. They either don't care, or if they do, it's not such a good idea to let them worry about my situation and what might happen.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

Life is not worth living at all.

nothing is worth the unending constant unbearable pain possible. "enjoying" a sandwhich or stupid youtube video is not worth the worst pain imaginable or the most horrible nightmares happening to you . .. but we hear it all the time "enjoy" "Life is enjoyable " it's like they are setting you up with bait for the really unbearable pain to hit just to keep you as a slave

nothing is worth becoming old. i worked in a nursing home it's an unimaginable hell. nothing is worth even watching the animal carcass you are in decay and feel it decaying as you get old . Everything gets worse as the human or other animal ages . just feel worse and worse everything gets more difficult ... it's a hell unimaginable to anyone under 40.

Life is the worst function in the universe. it's the only thing that causes pain, suffering ,problems diseases old age and 1000's of other horrible things. . Almost every animal died by being eaten alive by other animals, bacteria , or parasites. Even the mighty lion got old and got eaten alive. Most humans even with all the tech and civilization still die in pain in nursing homes. life is evil .

 

[Garf125]

If someone's life is worth living they won't want to end it and vice versa. It depends entirely on the individual. I don't get much of anything out of my continued existence and Ive seen enough to know the rest isn't worth sticking around for.

Lol it's actually from @thewalkingdread

I don't even like other people lol

Like a hamster on a hamster wheel. The people who don't realise this stuff are actually better off , they think it's all worth it and don't realise how pointless it all is ultimately

How would life ever be worth living under capitalism though?

Affording the costs to survive is only one thing, the worst part is battling entropy as we age. Entropy is noones friend and we will all be subjects to it's tortuous results , whether we're poor or rich, good or bad mental health.

Aging terrifies me. I would hate to have to get old and wrinkly, and literally see myself decay and wither away. I guess everyone is powerless against entropy and time…
