    At this point in my life I am having a hard time figuring out what the point of living is. I don't believe in a personified higher power. I don't want kids, or a marriage. People treat each other so badly. I find it difficult to even appreciate the small things anymore...

    :toetap05:The biggest factor in my not being willing to just give up is that I am frugal. I would have to have taxes paid on my earnings and death and that adds up! Friggin government! ;)

    Seriously, I try to always find the positive in life as it is there. Too easy to see the negative and allow that too much control or power.

    Once you start looking for the positive, It rather starts to just find you.

    I understand totally.

    What keeps me going is I know I am only temporary.

    Once the game is over it is done, no replays.

    Learning and having fun are my joys.

    If I am learning something new, I am enjoying myself.

    I feel ya...Im kinda there rite now. More due to my current situation then overall life itself.
    I just keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason, remind myself of all the shitty situations I have come out of as a better person.
    I believe that things will be better.

    Drink, Smoke, Take Drugs and fuck as many people as you can

    That way you'll live a fun life but be dead before you get too wrinkly for anyone to give a shit



    All this stuff everyone told you to do that would make your life better or happier, came from a whole bunch of people who still dont know WTF to do

    Well-waking up in the morning is a good start.

    A semi-mid-life crisis-which has not been easy, but I want to stick around and see how things end up. Literally only 3 weeks left in this long 2+ year process.

    That’s what I was going to say but not the hope for a better tomorrow, just tomorrow.

    That should motivate anyone [​IMG]

    I'm pretty much at the same point in life. I'm slowly overcoming it... but its not easy thats for sure. I've learned that generosity and good will, can get you only so far. There's a time in your life when you have to stop thinking about everyone around you, take a second and focus on you and your roots. Figure out what kind of person you'd like to be, and continue to try and achieve every goal you set for yourself. Each goal has brought me closer to sanity I've found, and making huge goals, like marriage, or children, can be overwhelming. Start with smaller things, after that life will unfold as it should. Although of course, there will always be trials and tribulations. But you will meet people who make it all worthwhile. People DO treat others badly, but I mean, we're all human. Some people are kinder hearted than others, and those are the ones you want to make connections with to restore your faith in humanity. You need to be willing to compromise with these people, and empathize with them to understand the reasons they act the way they do.

    The self organizing principle of life. I am personally not motivated, breathing in large part, autonomously.
