What is the point ?

[The anhedonic one]

I mean really, what is the point of it all ? Many of us are born to parents who don't want us, or abuse us. We get shoved into brainwashing centres called schools. We are often bullied by teachers and kids alike. As well as the abuse from our so-called parents.
After they have stolen our
childhoods, we are then thrust into the adult world. We are never given a choice, we are told to be a wage-slave for the next half a century. We are told to work hard, get married, have some kids, and buy a shit ton of stuff we just don't need.
Of course, all of this takes its toll. There is the inevitable fallout from dealing with trauma from childhood abuse, mental illness, and a multitude of other problems we just don't need. We then slowly die with each passing day. Round and round we go like hamsters on a wheel, or a rat in a maze. Nothing changes, nothing improves. No way out of this hellish shitshow. They call it life, but it's really death. We see the walking dead all around us. We suffer more and more with no end in sight. We watch loved ones get sick, suffer and die. Only the grave is guaranteed.

I feel this it's like a messed-up game rigged against us, forcing us into a system that benefits the few at the expense of the many. We're born into a messed-up world, molded by broken families and oppressive institutions. We're conditioned to be obedient little worker bees, chasing after material possessions that ultimately mean squat. And let's not forget the constant struggles with mental health, trauma, and the constant reminder of our mortality. It's a vicious cycle, and the only guarantee is the grave at the end. So, why bother, right? But hey, at least we're all in this miserable shitshow together, right? Pass the existential dread, my friend.

Well said. You are spot on with this.

Existential dread is all I feel now. The grave is calling me more and more with each passing day.

It's true that existing is just a process of slowly dying, I know that I could never be delusional enough to actually want to exist in this harmful and chaotic world where there is unlimited potential to suffer. But anyway existing really is so futile and unnecessary, all that we are destined for is to suffer even more, decay from age, lose everything we had and just cease existing anyway.

There really could never be a point to existing here as after all existence is just a tragic and unfortunate consequence of evolution, I find it horrible how people continue to procreate as they are just creating unnecessary needs and problems. To me existence is slavery, as we are slaves to our suffering and slaves to our decaying flesh prison, only death can solve what the true problem is for me which is existence itself, I see existence as being a horrific disturbance in what would otherwise be the ideal state of nonexistence, existing here truly is so nightmarish.

The answer to your question ''why life?'' is: we haven't figured it out yet. However, we've come a surprisingly long way.

I'm sorry your parents let you down. My parents fortunately did not do so. Instead, they told me I shouldn't believe everything being taught at school, but instead keep thinking by myself.

The truth is, that most people have a choice of not fully taking part in the rat race, but do so anyway. I agree with you though, that humans are slaves of their instincts and desires.

Furthermore I agree that life is often a shitshow (or worse), but now we are here, let's make the best of it!
And for those people who want out, there should be a humane way available. Actually, there are several ways out, but these are blocked by people who think they do the right thing by preventing suicide. That's why we must be smart and figure out the best way(s) to get around that blockade.

You can't be anymore correct, my friend. Thats why I have a deep hatred for my parents. All this pointless torture only began because they don't know how to properly use their f*cking selfish brains. I'm so mentally exhausted and drained to my soul and bones. Words can't describe.......... I want to CTB soooo bad. Just that its such a difficult thing to move forward with. Now I'm forced to be stuck in this extremely pointless torture we call "life"............. I have no words or energy left. Just a constant daily struggle that never ends, while trying to "survive" on my own 24/7. I wish at least 80% of parents be charged with crime for bringing innocent souls into this world, just to suffer, for their own selfish pleasures. Out of every 10 parents, usually like 8 of them are shit. Maybe just a couple are considered better or truly know what they're doing. Its pure bullshit

So sorry you have had to go through all of that. My mother was a narcissist, and my stepfather a paedophile. They fucked my brain up. I am totally alone in the world and struggling also. It's brutal.
