What is your reason of being?

i live only so my friends and family members wont cry
other than that, idk

:/ I "feel" like that is one of the only reasons why I'm still here. I have a few friends that care for me, even though I do not know how to reciprocate those feelings, I don't want to cause them any pain....but sometimes it's hard...

thank you for answering.

There is no reason of being. In a few decades time (an illusion that controls us) we'll be reduced to ashes and the world is nearing death. Life really is what you make it; enjoy it. I'm really conflicted to as of why, in billions of years of creation, in a universe infinite and beautiful, I - we were created. What started all of this? How did the 'Big Bang' start? What's the bigger picture? Have I dreamt my life and imagined everything, or are we part of a computer stimulation? If so, why? Who/what built the computers, and who/what made them?
Why have we fabricated this society of government and economy? We've created symbols that may only be understood in certain places of our small but big world, yet they have so much power. They create worlds and save lives and ugh whatever im tired i need to sort things out k bye

Many of the things you stated I think about a lot as well. So many questions...without answers and sometimes that answers aren't good enough for me. Many people say "just accept it, that's just the way things are and there's nothing you can do about it" I Used to feel that, you know all this fighting and wars disease and suffering...all of these things happening on this planet and if Human could just see the bigger picture. you know being in a sphere orbiting giant plasma and everything could be over in an instant...would they still continue. probably right. Thinking about all these things...what's real what's not....haha I guess that's why I have existential crisis at 4AM.

but thanks for answering my question.
 
There is nothing stopping you from doing that you know?

..wow, dude, thats rly not cool ]: even if you didnt mean it in a bad way. yeesh.

i feel the same as jake p much
i just live for fictional characters and the thought of maybe settling down someday perhaps
 
Hm, an interesting topic. I feel I have a lot to live for, I'm very happy with my life; I have two loving parents and a sweet lil' doggy and kitty who I love to bits. But I'm worried about my work ethic; I can never actually delve into something and get it done and I get drawn into my own fantasyland very easily. I worry I will struggle to get accepted to the university I want as a result. I'm really quite lazy, my parents get frustrated with me sometimes because I can't be bothered to clean up after myself or help around the house. It makes me feel really bad.

I also have so many artistic passions. I love music and writing. I've already written two novels, 'The Tongue Teller' and my planned series 'Pillagers on Peaceful Shores'. I want to pursue my passions but now that in this day and age, it will be a struggle to hold myself together financially if I do so. Sometimes when I think about my future it makes my tummy sink, but I know I have great family and friends who will be there for me all the way. I'm just worried I'll be too dependant on them.
 
oh right. trench reminded me. i live for my family, cats and friends too lol
 
I exist because my parents had a baby. It's that simple.


I was an accident


I think life is something we give meaning to. For me life is about living happy, keeping the people you love close. I don't believe in any sorts of afterlife so I think we have to live this life to the fullest ^^, and always do good without waiting for any rewards.
Also this is pretty much what I think too.
 
I'm greatful that people took their time to answer. If it's ok. I'm replying to everyone's post. I don't want anyone to think that I ignored them or something.
 
I don't believe in God, and to a certain extent, it makes me sad that everything about me will be forgotten one day, and I'll just be another person in history.

I live for myself, or I live because I want my future. I want to be able to settle down and have kids. Singing/Writing/Drawing are also very important to me. I guess, for me, I want to live so I can be remembered :c


That's really positive. I think it's sad to be forgotten. When I go visit my best friends grave sometimes I put the other flowers on the other graves too. I don't know why I did that but once someone saw me picking weeds and cleaning their kids grave and they thanked me...I thought they thought I was vandalizing or something but like they said things like after it's done and buried no one comes no one calls but the pain is still there. my answer to her was like maybe they didn't forget...maybe they just don't want to remember. I don't know:/ but thanks for answering.
 
For me.. I want to live for change. I live because of my family, but I also want to change something in this world. I don't want to be a normal person that has a boring life. I wanna make an impact on this world, so when I die, at least people will probably know who I am. I'm at a young age, so for now, my reason of being is to find a way for change. I don't wanna die forgotten, only known by my family members. I guess you could say I want to push the human race "forward" in a way. I want to do something that will benefit the human race I guess, so when I die, at least I know I actually did something that
Helped billions of people and will help them for a long time.

That was a ****ish thing to say...

To say I know where Jake. Is coming feom and I 'know how he feels' is completely ignorant and wrong. But I have felt/feel like wanting to die, and while I have attempted, it's more the fear that stops you. And for me it's more that I want to stop existing; but dying is the only way to stop existing, but I don't want to die and when I've attempted it was in desperate times.
There is nothing stopping you to grow a heart and sympathize, no one deserves to feel like they want to die or be put in the situation(s) that triggers the feelings
 
Some days I don't know, but then I look inside myself and realise that I just really, really, really want to learn to play the guitar

I lived for dancing, that's all I did and loved, now I've stopped i would say I live for my fianc?, because that's all that's good in my life and I'm still screwing that up.

OI, don't you dare. You really need to think about what you're saying. When you know jake as well as some of us, you know why he says these things. I'd really think about how you respond to people. Rude, simply rude.

I've felt the need to die, having depression, anxiety and paranoia, it makes things harder. But I'm past all of that, I still feel worthless but I'm just going to continue to live and see what happens

I've been thinking about a lot of things....
If you don't mind sharing with me and if it's not too personal to ask:

What is your reason of being? What do you live for? and what does life mean to you?

You can answer any way that you'd like. I'm a very open-minded person...
I just have something that's on my mind and I'd like to know what you think if that's ok.

Thank you for answering in advance.

Honestly, I live to be satisfied with my life and be successful in my own right.

Also, to have build nice memories while I can with those I care about (and who care about me in return) while I can.

To me, life is achieving needs and wants. Psychologically, physically, socially, and professionally.

It's hard to do so when there are scarce resources and opportunities, so it is something I strive to constantly achieve as I live.

I can't be lazy, static (not improving), or overly dependent on others as they'll move on to achieve their own wants and needs, after all.

If my needs or wants are not met, then I will question my actions and choices and re-evaluate myself. But sometimes it's just circumstances and lack of resources, can't please everyone.

I try to take things day by day, and not plan too far ahead into the future. There's always things that surprise you. There are things that I want, but I also know that they may never come to pass. Making mistakes is fine, you learn from them. Just take care of yourself and the people you love.
 
1) theres no good painless sanitary ways to die in my reach rn
2) chocolate
3) its all basically useless, were just an insignificant planet out of a gargantuan number of other insignificant planets, and im not even someone whos important on my own insignificant planet so like?? yea that just adds to the first answer I dont really "be" for any reason

though people who see matter and reason in living shouldnt ****in smash their views to pieces bc of my pessimistic cynical warble, its great to see reason and you should keep it up
