What the fuck is the point in any of this?

[IHaveNoName]

I don't understand any of this, why do I even exist it is all so pointless.

 

[Rayzieka]

I know its cruel that anyone is here against their will but I suppose we have to try and find things to occupy the time to make it feel less pointless right? Theres got to be something at least mildly entertaining somewhere? Sorry you're feeling down.

"Everything is meaningless"

~Ecclesiastes

 

[profoundexperience]

All this is my conclusion, my humble opinion, based on decades of contemplation and I could always be wrong...

Life does have an inherent point/meaning/purpose from a biochemical/evolutionary perspective... and that is survival/reproduction. But, this is in no way a good/sane/moral/rational purpose. Survival/reproduction of course includes all the emotions and urges built-in to our physiology and psychology. The emotion of "love" (in all it's forms) exists for very specific evolutionary reasons/pay-offs... just as hunger and thirst and sexual lust do. And I'm not saying not to "enjoy flowers" (the pleasures of life)... just that they all have "ulterior motives".

When it comes to the purpose of an individual human being, we came into being and also exist for a definite purpose... and that is to service the needs of other people (as others exist to service our needs). But again, imho, this is in no way a good/sane/moral purpose (in-and-of itself = a gigantic web of mutual need, with no higher benefits, a worldwide "multi-level-marketing scheme" is the epitome of evil, imho).

People often say "Life has no purpose... so you need make up your own." To me, that's absolutely unacceptable... reprehensible even. To me, that means that I should allow myself to be forced by society/family/the economy to perpetuate my life/suffering for a made-up purpose.

Beyond those, I can find no other purposes (unless and until one starts imagining gods existing or imagining elevated "states of [one's] mind" as having some inherent, permanent value)... and that means no other good purposes whatsoever.

Life sucks and then you die.

 

[FuneralCry]

Life is literally the most pointless thing ever. We as humans are born, we suffer and then we die. There is nothing more to it. The cycle repeats forever. It would be better to never be born in the first place honestly. People are brought into this world for selfish reasons.

 

[WornOutLife]

Welcome to my world.
Everyday, I'm more confused about existence and this weird universe.
Yesterday, I had a breakdown.

I just feel like a silly ape living on a blue rock lol.

 

[Yasuke]

The point is to work, reproduce, and pay bills till you die then act like life is worth it.

 

[Beachedwhale]

Maximising pleasure and minimising pain.

 

[PaxAmerica]

I hate life these days. Wasnt always so. put up with a lot of crap in life. But now I see how hard I worked and others just reaped the rewards. People out there who take pride in taking advantage of me. World is so cruel. Its just a facade. underneath we are just animals.

 

[DarkWolf]

It really is so pointless. I'm so fed up. I really wanna leave. Just so anxious.

 

[Nightmare]

life is a place you are supposed to try and be happy at and its possible
if you know for sure that there's no chance to be happy then there's no point of living, i personally refuse to be a lifestock

 

[alown]

- to be happy in this simulation that we call life, you have to submit as much as possible to the conformities imposed by modern societies and their indoctrination, to be the best, to compete, to crush the weak to shine, to fight for a fictitious force created by humans: money.

- contribute to society and work for 50 years to enjoy a freedom that is not freedom by being flabby and in poor health before dying either from illness or old age.

 

[EraseRewind]

Sometimes I used to feel like a lab rat just living the same day over and over again.

 

[W3akCr3atur3]

There's no point in live honestly. You just exist and that's it. However you can make up your own point. Such as a goal in something or just comfortable existence.
Right now, after many years of suffering I'm finally feeling better and that's enough for me. I enjoy daily routine, I have things I enjoy doing e.t.c. I don't have any big dreams and goals anymore, but just comfortable life that I'm in control of is enough to be somewhat happy.
Tbh anything that will make you happy during your life works as the point to life.
Well, in some cases people can't find anything that will make them happy enough to keep living or can't fight problems anymore. And if that's your case, ending your life earlier to stop the suffering your life has became might be the answer.

~Ecclesiastes

Who knows what the sum of your life will be? Life can be ordinary or extraordinary. It all depends on the choices you make. Only a few have an impact but an impact they have. (Sounds like master Yoda). Jonny Benjamin stood on Waterloo bridge about to end his life, commuters passed him by when a stranger came to his side and guided him to safety. He now campaigns for better mental awareness and has had a positive impact on thousands across the world.

 

[motel rooms]

The fact that life is meaningless is liberating. All we have to do is accept that we are silly, self-important creatures who don't really matter. Nothing & nobody really matters.

"All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision
To wave your worries
And cares goodbye"

I am not saying I wanna leave point blank. Just that it is a shit world. Yes I could look at it through a Disney lens but truthfully people are pretty pathetic on a moral level. Most people.

 

[EndlessDolphin]

I don't know, man. I think for normal people it's to have fun and experience something amazing, spend their days with friends and do what makes them happy.
But for someone like me with crippling social anxiety and depression who doesn't have any friends….I just don't know.

 

[Mierda]

I don't think there is a universal point as preached in many mainstream religions.
However a purpose that's meaningful to you can be chosen

Many 'normal' people look like they're having fun but I think we all have a deep inner need for something more. It's taken me decades to grow in confidence and speak up. Was very shy and avoided socialising. I've moved around but it's through churches I've made friends. Not mega close but enough to meet that need.

Hope life brings something good your way.

 

[popcorn]

it is pointless, pointless head fuckery if u think about it too long. in 50-100 years no one will know who we were, non of it matters, and if it did matter it doesn't matter for long, shit moves on. the cruellest thing anyone can do is have children, they cant ask to come into existence and experience this shit show we call life, they don't have a say. wish my parents at least gave me some thought before bringing me into being.. work for 60 years, experience mostly loss and suffering then die some cancer ridden agonizin death when your old and shit. fk that man

 

[ExhaustedExistence]

I always ask myself "Why? Why am I doing this?" I've never aswer it. There is no reason.

The meaning of existence has plagued the greatest minds throughout history. If these geniuses were unable to come up with an adequate answer what chance does someone like me have?

It is probably best to shut that part of your brain off. All it does is cause stress and worry.

It's not about how intelligent you are. Nobody can logically aswer this question.

I would like to turn off my brain and don't think about this stuff at all, but I just can't.

 

[Lost Magic]

We are here to spread love and understanding. That's all we can really do as humans. Leave smiles on people's faces if you can.

 

[Journeytoletgo]

To procreate lol

 

[Yiyo123]

Life should be a choice… for me is meaningless. I simply syop caring a long time ago. My wife is holding me back…So I want to make sure that she has a place to live permanently for the rest of her life. That's why I can'y CTB right now.

Every tells me that I shoeld embrace life… for what? why? I don't want to… I just want everything to end.
