What purpose does it need? We’re as immortal as our memories, so that’s the path to that….. reason to stay alive? I’m going for reducing pain, for myself and those I care about. Today is less painful than yesterday. Tomorrow will be less painful still.
I’ve lived through so much worse than I am now. It’s that which keeps me enduring, keeps me from ending it. The pain is usually temporary, and in spring the flowers will bloom. Little pleasures, that’s all life ever had to offer. Playing with my dog, hearing an awesome song, riding my bike, a good book, a good cup of coffee.
Some people get the big hits, the job that is both well paying and worthy or respect, the large family, beautiful cars, beautiful houses. The temptation is to envy them, but we don’t know what it cost. What it keeps on costing. It also appears to be luck based, and I have never had that good of luck.
no one deserves a damn thing, the trick is to find something worth being thankful for amidst all the rubbish and nonsense
Life….chuckle. Like a bad movie, the sooner its over, the better, but in the meantime I’ll take extra butter on my popcorn and a good college football game on Saturday night. All I’m hoping for is a moment of awareness at death to think “Hey – its finally happening – I’m over!! Yeehaw!”
I would say I felt the same way and kinda do sometimes. I never knew why evolution happened and how it all began. I always felt that everyone was going to die one day and be gone forever. No afterlife. I think to find a purpose is to find something you like to do and see if you’re really good at it. Seek out hobbies and try to get back into the things you once enjoyed. Live for you. No one else. People are disappointing.
