We all seem to share one thing… The question, why do we want to die, why are we alive, why do we feel this way? I can only speak for myself we are all very different. I just turned 18 and have a world of opportunity. I’m considered pretty and envied by others and I’m off to a great school for fashion merchandising, my passion, at the end of August. I have best friends and a boyfriend. It all sounds perfect right? Wrong. I constantly wake up wondering why I woke up. Sometimes I lay and stare at the ceiling and feel like a hole is growing larger and larger in my chest. Other times I wonder why shouldn’t I die? Why should I keep feeling emotions that I don’t want to feel when life doesn’t seem to be so great anyway? People say we all have a purpose, but half of us aren’t even born on purpose… It was just sex, most animals do it… We live 100 or so years and die and are forgotten. I guess I just needed to vent but I hope I have you all thinking and connecting.

‘Why do we want to die? Why are we alive?’ These questions are of philosophic nature. Not all people ask this kind of questions. The problem is that the more you ask this kind of questions the more you go deep into the deepness of your brain and you might become vulnerable to the outside world. The problem is that these questions cannot be blocked. The best way to cope with it is to take life for what it is- some sort of rather short(100 seems the age of a vampire:) experience – sometimes pleasant sometimes very unpleasant, sometimes something in between. There is no way we can be forever happy – for those who believe they can. There can be many purposes for why we are here – in the short run. In the long run(that implies billions of years) I can’t see a purpose.
‘People say we all have a purpose, but half of us aren’t even born on purpose… It was just sex, most animals do it…’
It seems that for more than 95% people on this planet the main purpose is a potential afterlife and having sex. I don t need to be a philosopher to say that. I just have to take a look around and interact with people.
And some people can reach the ‘venerable’ age of 100 and instead asking questions of philosophic nature they still think of having sex..
