What is the point of life??

Some times I feel everyday is the same, infact often, I feel that I shouldn't have been born!!
Life is difficult I feel that its poiintless and envy peoople who seemto be enjoying it infact sometimes,I feel like the hamster on the wheel!!
I wasn't born with amazing gifts, well not what I know of!!Apart from reproduction what is there,I have things I wan't to do, but I don't have a real lust for life.
why is it that some people do , and others merely exist!!Life is what you make it, I know but thats not fair so in other words unless you are like the hamster that hapilly runs around its cage you are fckd!!

I think a common mistake made by most people is that we are suppose to have a purpose. Who says we need a purpose. We evolved over time. I guess the only reason we would even have a purpose is because Humans, unlike other animals and organism, have the Mind. The Mind is the most powerful tool known to man. This gives us the power to ask, "Why are we here?". So next time don't think of asking, "Why are we here?", but rather ask, "What can I do to make life a greater thing to all organism, not just my kind?".

Good luck with your journey of Life.

to play with God

You can take the blind existential leap that Mr. "Peace" recommends and try find fulfillment in an absurd impersonal universe, or you can humbly seek the truth of the Creator revealed to mankind in both creation itself and his spoken word:

Everyone finds their own answer to that. I am fully atheist, but I found that working to help anaimals gave me a purpose. I trained in animal welfare and now work full time in that area. Everyone finds a purpose for themselves in different ways, but the world isn't necessarily going to assign one to you. Certainly helping others is a good one to pick regardless of your beleifs, and it doesn't require any special talents.

I think this is one of the biggest problems facing man in modern society. In a worl of fast food, suburbia and television we have forgotten exactly what life is. For billion of years life has struggled to get to this point without the ability to ask why. Breath in breath out, eat, sleep, drink and fuck. This is life... If you were to be dropped into the wilderness without shelter, food or company this would become all too clear. If you had to struggle even for a few days to really stay alive the menaing of life would reveal itself.

Beyond that however, I do beleive life has a purpose. Life has built itself more complex and more intelligent for billions of years and in terms of physics this just doesn't happen for no reason. The reason may be big - too big to see. Just like the effects we have on our world around us. Still every day you me and everyone else is goign to wake up and build the world of tomorrow. Your place in that? I am not sure... It's there though. The decisions you make, the things you buy, the work you do will make tomorrow what it is. It is an awesome responsibility and you shouldn't let looking for a purpose overshadow that.

Thanks for your replies, I must apoligise, I had a drink last night but I suffer from depression all the time and these thoughts are always in my head I hate myself cause unless I'm going for a big goal I feel useless and bored . I have to have constant goal going on, wish I was lkike my elders who were happy rearing children and thats it, but I wan't to do something else I am a parent, and should feel that I have achieved the ut most with that but I don't

I will find my thing eventually just wish life wasn't so hard, Guess I am one of those peoople who has to work hard, I envy those people who were born confident and able to learn and do well academically, I have to study hard as it takes me a while to undestand things, and I am still trying to build confidence, but hey shouldn't moan I have my health

I remember that I also used to feel like that sometimes, like every day is the same. That you wake up, go to school/work come back and eat,drink,sleep and then the same drill all over again on the following day and on the weekends you tried to force your self to do something exciting but then I suddently found safety and meaning in my religion-islam- which says that any person who does good and belives will have a great reward and finnally I had something to strive for and it gave me all the meaning I needed.

40:40. "He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof: and he that works a righteous deed - whether man or woman - and is a Believer- such will enter the Garden (of Bliss): Therein will they have abundance without measure.

The meaning of life according to my religion is to worship the one and only God, but worshipping does not just mean bowing and prostating in prayer or fasting but also different good deeds such as treating ones wife well or ones parents or beeing of the truthfull and other things like that.

51:56. And I created not the Jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me.

The only point of life is to create more life.

the point of life is to be able to ask questions like "what is the point of life?" ...
heh...
