Feel Like Life’s Pointless?

They don't cry for the dead ones. They cry for themselves because now they have to move without someone who gave them something that made their own lives seem more meaningful in some way.

Sorry, was under the impression @kiely s post was the beginning of the thread. So I went to comment number 1

Have you ever had this feeling, and if so did you ever get over it?

Yes. But then I remind myself that there's no possible way for us to comprehend the meaning of life. It just is. And the best we can do is tomlive it to the fullest, according to our own necessities and etrics.

Whish I could find someone to teach me that.
Hope.
Not how to be fucked.

Not sure about that. Hope can be cruel. The eternal dangling carrot taunting you with glimpses of things you will never achieve.

I don't try to have 'hope' these days. Relying on hope brought me nothing but grief. I strive for the DETERMINATION to not let life beat me down and to not quit until I've drawn my last breath. Yes of course I live in reasonable expectation that good things will come if I stick it out long enough, just by way of statistical probability. But it doesn't pay to RELY on a companion who makes many empty promises.
You might call this 'cheerful cynicism'.
 
@TheUltimateFixx
See. That's why I can't do hope. To me it's not that far away from faith, which is practically sitting with arms crossed waiting for someone else to solve one's problems.
Still, sometimes when I feel I'm up against something I actually have no control over and there's noyhinh I can do , I wish I could have this little hope thing to help me through

I go for 'optimism within reason'. Whenever things are shit I tell myself that unless I've just been diagnosed with some terminal condition it is very probable that my circumstances are going to improve again in the future.
 
A terminal condition... Something definite that impacts your life big time, and not for the best.
If you assume it doesn't always have to be an illness, then that's what I am dealing with. And though there's little I can do about the outcome, I can prevent this future ugly thing to take over my present. So I wish it aside and sometimes its easy and sometimes it's impossible. And sometimes, when I had a good day like today, I might be able to think that maybe somehow a little miracle will happen.
 
^^^ Oh I know, it's really great to have a fun day . . . and be able to forget about all of the other stuff. <3:rolleyes:

And yes the point of the thread is that it actually could be pointless. But sometimes things do really mean a lot which makes it all the more amazing.

Interesting. Keep on making more points. And at least we can point them out.

:)


Drugs can do that and there are ways out. Be outstanding and stronger. Seems like psychs and mushrooms are helping out a lot. So there's that.

It's not always pointless though when you can figure it all out. You can. <3
 
No I don't feel like life is pointless I just fail to see the point mostly.
Do no harm.
Be kind to others if they allow.
Prune the dead stalks to let the sun in.
mostly verbal context it looks now to me. Maybe action is necessary.
Although it isn't easy life may have a point. Can't say for sure one way or another and don't know if we'll ever be able to. So a lot todo about nothing, it seems.
Maybe how we sleep at night leaves a clue. Conscious can be a mf, too. Not trying to dwell on it but think is a decent indicator of what we are about... unless there is sychophacy involved. Not hating I get it and kinda wish I could live it but can't. Too late checkpoint has been reached.

The human body itself is made up of cells working in unison for a common goal which is to survive. The fact that we are self aware at all is indeed a miracle or scientific anomaly. Your unique self is just a pile of chemistry and elements like everything else in nature.

I'm not sure if this idea helps you or not. It just is and that's a fact like you , me , everything else. We are simply self aware matter that will be recycled at the end of our life. Live your best life while you're alive because this is it. One life cycle, no afterlife, no eternal salvation, no wondering the earth as a ghost.

In short is all kinda pointless as far as right now short term human infighting. Until we come together as a species globally, we are all just matter with an attitude. There are so many things that we will never know as individuals. It is a species we could work towards finding out truly where we've come from and where we're going in the cosmos. What is space why are we here those are the true questions of origin. Instead we're wrapped up in politics, religion, territorial disputes, come on get over it.

The times we are living are going to be looked back on the grand scale as the dark ages. Before we came together as a species for the betterment of civilization and exploration. You got to think back in the 1300s those kings and queens really thought that they were doing something spectacular when it hindsight they were just surviving.

Future generations will look back on this time in the same light. Too wrapped up in our own internal drama to accomplish anything meaningful. Scientist as well as philosophers throughout the ages have come back to this singular analysis of human nature. We think of ourselves as being so important when in reality we are a bit a miniscule spec in the overall cosmos.

So you tell me. Is one plankton in a sea of countless others pointless or not because that's what we are. But together the plankton has a place in the entire ecosystem and lattice work of life.

We could just be placeholders for future groundbreaking humans. But even as a placeholder or a plankton you have a place and you have a purpose All life on earth all minerals all elements they have a balance and they have a purpose that they have carved out.

Even in death your body is recycled into new energy. You simply feeling worthwhile mentally is a moot point. On a molecular and chemical level everyone has a purpose.
 
it wouldn't be pointless if i could pull myself out of this rut.

me me me, i i i, mine, and myself, self self, personally.

but i can't ;);)🤬

bub bye bye bye. i have to go find that point now. because it is what i have to go do.

and defrag.

You're alive by chance, there is no point to your life, there is no meaning to it, you weren't born with an essence. Your just here. But it doesn't mean you cannot enjoy it, why does life have to need a purpose or why does one need to justify why they're here.

What kind of question is that? It's obvious why people want life to have a purpose or feel the need to justify why they are here. Suffering. If life didn't involve the horrible suffering that many people experience, then it would be a lot easier to deal with but the problem with life having no purpose is that if one finds themselves living a life with more pain and suffering than pleasure and enjoyment then it would be entirely logical to commit suicide. Most people don't want to just commit suicide, so they look for reasons to try to justify living despite the immense suffering they face.

An analogy would be how about you drive up to Michigan and come clean my entire house from top to bottom this weekend. What will I offer you in return? Nothing. I won't pay you a single penny or even offer a glass of water for your trouble. Would you come do it? I highly doubt you'd say "Sure. Why would I need a reason to justify cleaning your house? No, you'd want something for your trouble. The same applies to life. Maybe people with relatively happy lives don't feel this way but anyone whose life involves a lot of pain and suffering understands.
 
My nan passed 8 days ago...ever since then I've found myself asking so many different questions about what is most valuable to me and my sisters, and who values me as well...Needless to say I've set quite a few boundaries since I've been doing all this soul-searching.
 
Routined life dictated by society or some other dogmatic system seems very pointless to me.
Everytime I tried that, it backfired and I fell into a deep black hole.
The moment I revert to being just me and not caring about what others think I should do or how to behave and most important of all - not copy them - life becomes an adventure full of beauty, wonder, and inner growth.
