Life is so difficult l, yet there is no reward.

[Darkover]

I've always found it funny, that life seems to be struggling after a struggle, yet there is no reward, nothing you get, in the end, life is just the lead-up to death.
I don't really see the point in doing something this hard, for this long, without getting something out of it.
In the end, it all just seems pointless.

Just keep pushing and making enormous efforts, only to start at the bottom of the mountain again. Reward is sheer luck, there is no rule that all hard work should yield results

Life seems like an endless stream of tedious, Pay bills, work, clean the house... maybe if you are really lucky, you can afford a holiday once in a while.

What's it all for? What's the point of it?

you struggle for much of your life, juggle anxieties with depression, health issues, jobs, etc. and you're always just so exhausted. By the time death comes, you at least know the struggle and burden of life is over.

life is a struggle. Being born means struggle. That's for all living things.

Life is a struggle/game where the reward isn't worth the risk

 

[tbroken]

I agree.........

Meteora, sei italiano vero? Anni?

Where did this "reward" idea originated from I wonder. Religions?

I think it just makes people have unrealistic expectations. Life is chaos, things happen and being owed something is a human concept.

I guess my point is that the pain in life outweighs the pleasure. So much pain and so little pleasure…

Yeah, this is true. A lot of the time people deal with dissatisfaction with their life by focusing on some goal off in the future that they think will finally give them lasting happiness and make all the shit they've gone through in life worth it. Unfortunately, it's easy to see that other people who've already achieved that goal aren't going around in some blissful state; they still have problems just like everybody else. Whether it's a certain job, a great relationship, making art, having kids, travelling the world, or any other dream that people have, on the off chance they actually achieve it, the satisfaction that comes always lasts shorter than they expect.

Bad enough it's just two people who didn't even like each other in the first place

Dw I was just thinking about the concept op was talking about, it was not aimed at you or anyone in particular.

I agree. Feels like happiness is only a fleeting moment in a dune of depressive existence.
