if life is a struggle, the world is cruel and people are mean, what's the point?

[lnlybnny]

i mean everyone is tired of hearing people say this and we all know that's true, then why do people take such pride in keep trying, like masochists? we should be able to say ''yeah okay thanks but that's not for me, it's not worth it and i don't feel like doing this anymore'' and just bow out. if life is such a struggle full of problems why do we have to go through it? doesn't make sense. i wish i could just disappear and let people over here enjoying their problems and struggles like they love to do

we don't "have" too go through it- that choice is ultimately yours alone until the people around you know enough to stop you

Personally, I think there's no point, but I guess that people keep trying because they think that suffering is a virtue and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You're expected to tough it out and keep struggling instead of surrendering. I think that those people are sadists and masochists who revel in their own suffering. Another user said that people think we're in this together, like a shared kind of struggle and suffering, and those who bow out disobey and defy this.

There is no real point, but people seem to have hopes for a better future. OR they already live in a friendly world (atleast the one directly around them) because they're very fortunate. For others : Life is everything we ever knew, so ending it is a confronting and difficult prospect for many.

It seems that life is made up of more cruelties than happiness. Life consists of slavery: school and long working days. We must comply with laws and regulations. People are mean and life is unfair. Overpopulation causes problems everywhere. The longer you live, the worse your health becomes. Those are my experiences. Not everyone can be lucky in life.

it isn't entirely mine because it's extremely hard to get out of this in a dignified way

just die

if it was that easy we wouldn't all be here in this website

My life hacks! Lol

Without rewarding relationships and a solid support network, life is a struggle.

When people take from others without giving anything back, the world becomes a cruel place.

People are mean unless you offer something they can't get somewhere else.

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Never understood this sentence - a disability can't make anyone stronger

I don't understand either but I think they believe that suffering builds character. Anyways, it's messed up. It's like a form of Stockholm Syndrome from life

Maybe there is no need for a 'point'. We are born because our parents reproduced. We live and we die.

Whatever happens during our lives happens.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Despite what people in society say, I believe that there isn't really a point to any of this. There is no objective reason for us suffering. We live and then we die, that's all

 

[AresCohere]

The point of life is to work until you can't anymore then just get tossed aside. There is no "good parts" just small breaks in the suffering that get less "helpful" and shorter as time goes on…

I could never see a point to any of this, in my case I'd certainly always prefer to not exist no matter what. There truly is nothing desirable about something so hellish, cruel and futile as existence especially as there is unlimited potential for pain and torment, I only wish for the peace of eternal sleep where all is finally forgotten about. In my case I'd always see it as better to not exist as there are no disadvantages to the absence of everything with nobody being able to suffer from non-existence, delaying the inevitable just means more opportinites to suffer so unnecessarily.
