have you ever felt like there is no reason to live?have you ever felt like everything in this world is meaningless, and therefore not deserving your time, your worrying. have you ever thought about the real meaning of life? and why do we exist? what are we here for? are we parts of the universe, are we mere accidents, are we here simply in order to exist or in order to accomplish a task that we were given? what should we learn from our passing from this world, if there is something worth learning...and how are we possibly going to use the knowledge we will havwe gained after our death? and what is death anyway? just a state. life is also a state.death might also signify a new birth, therefore a new life, can't it?
but what i wanted to state in the first hand, is what is worth living? anyone could end his life at any time when facing difficulties or when living in a routine every day. but we don't. why? what is it that makes life so wannable? instict many will say. just instict? then why do some people go beyond their insticts and commit suicide? but i by no means want to approve of commiting suicide. i am totally against that.i just want to understand what is it that makes life worth-living? and which are these things that are so worth-living that we could actually die for them?freedom, love...
i don't know if i am ever going to get an answer. well, you know, just some philosophical anxieties of a young adult...silly things ha?i know...

    Maraki, life gets better as an adult. You're in a hormonal change and so many young people get depression over it. It will pass. Once you're an adult and out of school the world becomes such a wonderful adventure.

    Well sense I beleive that humans are destroying the Earth and the world is going to end, there are times when I feel that my current life and everything I do it is meaningingless sense I do not think there is truly going to be a "future."

    But I would not sieriously contemplate suicide, becasue well doing so would be pointless. I beleive that a person has the right to make that choice for themsleves, but killing myself is not going to change anything and well I am just too stubron to die. Killing myself would be a sort of admititence of defeat, and I am not one to wave the white flag.

    And I feel my purpose here is to be a loyal servent to the Mother Earth and do whatever I can to ease her suffering if I cannot save her. I made a vow to the Goddess and I shall not break that.

    One thing I sense is that Dark Muse is a fighter and she would never wave the white flag.

    I can't say don't worry, That would be silly.
    I know what you mean with the living for something. Philosophy is too contradicting sometimes. Falling in love is the best thing you, as a person, can do. Just remember that your world is very closed in right now.

    Oh and as for life. I like Dark Muses Ideas, The world is a turbulant place and we live in a turbulant time. Somethings are timeless, but somethings you want to make last. I.E. Traditions, children, values, legacies. But sometimes, even a pet and the memories you had with it will do.
