After 10 years of being alone and slowly spiraling to being homeless and losing everything I ever had – I feel like I have put forth a diligent effort. For me to think that things will improve is only lying to myself. I’m 53. My life is over. The worst part of me anticipating my suicide in my mind is the empty void loneliness. I did not ask for any of this and I cannot wait to Float Away like a balloon….

Failure means setting a goal and being unable to get that goal. But the truth is there is no goal in life, no standard of measurement. Homeful or homeless, it’s all the same. Yes it may cause inconvenience and suffering but that’s on personal level. Feeling pain is not the same as being a failure.
So you are telling me that my failures cause me no pain?
Physical pain? Maybe. But they don’t have to cause this additional imaginary mental pain that you failed at life. Look at Diogenes. He was proud of his homelessness.
