I love my family a lot but if think that i don't have them in my life then what would be ur purpose in life? A true meaning. Not love but a real meaning. I sometimes think that i should just die because i really don't have a meaning in life besides loving my friends and family. And i don't think a girl could change that but i never been with a girl though and the one that i really like is already taken big time so i don't want to be with someone. I once in awhile do think of committing suicide but that would hurt my family a lot but i do suffer in this world with no meaning in life, and i am always upset with nothing in life. I do go to college and all but why must we live? Take God out and think about existentialism. So what u guys think? =(

Here's a thought for you.  WHat do you think about Abe Lincoln?  He once half-heartedly attemped suicide when he was a child because he said he thought he had nothing to love for.  How did he turn out  He is regarded as one of the best presidents we have ever had.  Right now, you may not see anything in your life as meaningful.  But others may.  We each do things everyday that make someone smile, or help someone.  Who  knows what you do but I bet you do something.  Like you said, your faily will be hurt if you committ suicide.  Maybe for now, the plan for you is to simply be there for them.  Later in your life, who knows.  All you need is to live each day, one by one, and work out the best that day for the next.  Someday you will look back and say, damn, that's what I am here for.  And things will all make sense.  Keep your head up!  Message me any time you want.  Keep in mind, I am in Iraq right now with limited computer access, but I will get back to you as soon as I can.  Take care!

I stayed with my dad until he died.  He wanted me to be safe and to take care of me and me of him.  So it worked out fine.  I was not ready to be independent and that was best for me to do in my situation.  I know other people may have looked down on me but that is their problem.  Just because I was not married or independent did not mean that I was stupid or crazy.  They did not and do not know me to judge me.  I did what I wanted and what was best for me.  Then I realized that as my dad got older and in worse health, that he needed me because he would have been all alone and could not be alone as his illness progressed.  One day he told me that he wanted me to stay and not to marry until he died.  That did make me feel good and useful and have a little more dignity when others would say things to me.  But all in all, I would not have changed a thing.  So you do what is best for you.  Your family is the most important thing, if they are good to you, so treasure them.  You will be out and on your own one day when you marry or find a boyfriend or go to college or move for other reasons.  So, do what is best for you. I think that you are lucky.  :)

Kiara, no.  You are not alone in your feeling.  But may I make a suggestion?\n\nI grew up in a family where people routinely stabbed each other in the back.  It was a very unhappy place, and for most of our lives, certain people within the family came to resent others....this has lasted a lifetime in some instances.\n\nBut you have a choice to make, and let me tell you how I made mine; I came to know the love of Jesus Christ.  So no longer is my life about, who did what to me.  My life is about how to learn to love others unconditionally, as God loves me.\n\nYou have a choice to make too; which end of the pencil do you wish to use in your life?  The one that is continally writing down the offenses people give you...or the one that is continually erasing offenses, always forgiving, showing kindness with no expectation of return?  I can tell you one thing for sure; the second choice above will bring a life of peace and fulfillment; the first a life of bitterness and resentment.  The choice is yours to make.

You should listen to your friend - once you realize that god is imaginary, you'll find that you are free, and you will also know that this life is what matters and is what is most pecious.  Once you die, that's it.  You only get to live beyond your death if you have children that you've passed your DNA onto too

Some would say that even one time a day is dangerous.  But, since I am currently dealing with a bout of depression myself, perhaps I can help here.  Lately, I find myself thinking more, and more about what it would be like if I was not around anymore.  I used to pretty much welcome death.  I would say I am not afraid to die because I have already lived a full life.  That was until a few weeks ago.  My best friend from college died from natural causes.  It really hit me hard.  He was the first person I had known that was my same age that died.  It made me take stock of my own life.  It made me see that I HAD NOT lived a full life yet.  True, I still am depressed, but it took the death of my best friend to show me how precious life really is.  I am not even sure if You are thinking about suicide, or you were asking for somebody else.  If you are thinking this way, let me tell beg of you, don't give in to your feelings and try to end your life.  You may not realize it now, but there really is so much to live for.  It is good that you are at least taking about the subject with other people.  It is more worrysome if you keep your emotions bottled up inside.  If you feel comfortable, try to takl things out with your friends.  If you don't want to talk to them, you can always email me. jam961@yahoo.com  I am willing to listin to you if you need to vent.  Always remember, you are not alone in depression.  It affects more people than you realize.  I wish you the best of luck, I hope you can find peace without thinking of killing yourself anymore.  When things get rough, remember you have friends here at yahoo answers.

We are the accidental products of unthinking natural processes, and therefore the meaning and purpose of life can be anything we choose.  For myself, I didn't choose to exist, but now I'm here I want to enjoy life, bring up my kids well, leave the world a slightly better place than when I joined it, and die having no major regrets about what I have or haven't done in my life.

Is there someone in your family you can talk to about how you're feeling? A close friend? If not, there are hot lines you can call where they have experts available to help you, and help you find solutions to your problems. When people talk about killing themselves, it's usually a cry for help. You need to seek out that help (you've already taken the first step.) There are experts with a lot of experience that can honestly help you deal with whatever pressures, difficulties, or depression is causing you to feel this way. A lot of people have felt exactly the same way you are feeling, and have gotten through it. You're definitely not alone, and happiness is not something that is unattainable, even though it may seem that way now. I wish I could offer you better advice. I certainly know how you feel.

We are all on this earth for a very short time. You & I aren't speacial, we too will die. Make the most of this life while we are here, is the lesson we should get from this. Lets try to be thankful for this young mans life even though it was short. He died doing something he loved. In my book thats better then being layed up in a bed suffering for long time. I know it is hard, but after the, understandable, saddess life goes on and our time here is limited.

Life is not pointless. You werent born and put here for no reason. Ending your life would only be taking the easy route, instead of striving to find that something that adds to the world around you. \n\nEven if you were without a loving family, or without a living relative, without a friend or love, even if you were without those things it doesnt mean that you wont at some point touch the life of another person, and change their world.\n\nThere are hundreds of thousands of children and people who die everyday, people who never got the chance to live, or people who desired to life a full life. They die because they dont have anyone to protect them, to love them, to feed/clothe, or care for them. Theres a whole world beyond your window waiting for your two hands to make a difference.\n\nEven if you dislike people there is always nature, there are animals in similar circumstances, plants that need planting, gardens that need tending, bugs that need... collecting.\n\nThere must be something that you enjoy, or else you would not be miserable. You can only be miserable if you are deprived of the thing(s) that make you happy. SO ask yourself what you enjoy, and find a way to help other people either enjoy it with you, or help them find something they enjoy. thats always a start.

Dear Kat,\nWords are so inadequate. I want you to know that I am thinking of you and praying for you. I don't know why some people seem to get way more pain and anguish dealt to them in their lives. I don't think God is doing it to you, my belief is that sorrows are part of life on earth, just like death. No one lives forever, no one is happy all the time. You have been blessed with a wonderful marriage it sounds like, and I pray it goes on for many more years, but at least you know that you have known real love and been loved in return. That is a truly marvelous thing and pretty rare, I think.\nChildren are not supposed to predecease their parents and yet they often do. I wonder, was your daughter very close to you? Because she may be glad now that she is in heaven, helping to prepare a place for you.  I was devastated when my mother died, even though I knew that was the natural order of things, and couldn't even mention it without breaking down into tears for the first ten years afterwards. Forgive me for speculating here. I don't know you at all, of course.  But you sound like a loving, caring woman, whose family is blessed to have you. You are probably the rock everyone depends on, not realizing that you need a shoulder to cry on just like everyone. Well, come here anytime. I will look to see how your husband and uncle are doing. God bless you and keep you, I know He will never forget you in your time of need.

I'm never really sure I do exist. I wake up and live my life and I do the same thing everyday and I wonder if it's all just a dream and I'm going to wake up and do it again. In my honest opinion, life is not truly worth living in the sense that we are all going to die anyways. Think about it. So we know the wonderful things about physics and we understand gravity, but does it really matter? Not really. It's because we all die in the end. I'm probably just using up the air. But I'll tell you, I'm having a good time of it. I don't know if there is something after this or if when I die I die. And not knowing is scary. I'd rather just live and enjoy because this may be all I get. Whoever I am. Below is something I wrote that more clearly explains my opinion. Or maybe it is just more confusing.

I can't tell if you really want an answer or not.  \n\nIf you really are ready to hear the answer, here it is:\n\nLet's get back to basics.  There is no "her" as a god.  There is only one God, and He has come to us in three ways to have three functions.  God is the Creator, and Jesus is the Savior, and the Holy Spirit is the Comforter.  \n\nWhat is the point of this life on earth?  We are put here to make a choice.  Are we going to choose God or not?  God has a mass amount of love for each one of His creation- even if they are not in love with Him, even if they ignore His creation as a witness that He exists, even if they try to analyze their life away without just admitting they can't make it on thier own.  That is how Satan fell.  Pride.  It is a great barrier.  The meaning of life is to become Christlike.  \n\nGod is not controlled by time because He is not in the physical realm.  He knows what our choice will be.  Think about that- He knows that He is going to have His own Son die just so that a person's sins can be covered, and that person says "no, thanks".  He still goes through with it.  He still creates that person.  It is amazing to ponder.  \n\nOur own choice takes us away from God.  In this life, it means that we will live a life that always has an empty spot in it.  We choose not to turn to God even when we are alone and He is there, with His arms open just wanting to carry us through our trials.  In the life after death, choosing to say "no" to God means an eternity without God- out of His presence.  Nashing of teeth, etc.  Hell doesn't sound very hospitable.  \n\nHowever, God is still there.  No matter how many times we reject Him.  If this is you, you can always start now.  No matter what you have done, God has passion for you.  He is on your side.  I encourage you to call out to Him now.  "God- I've been totally denying your being.  I'm so sorry.  Please reveal yourself and your love to me.  I want to run to you.  Open my heart to see your amazing creation.  Help me to meet people who can guide me to you.  Open my heart and eyes to the price that Jesus paid so that you throw my confessed sins away as far as the east is from the west.  Thank you."  Get a Bible, or check one out from a library.  It doesn't have to be the King James Version (although that is a fine version).  Find a biblical church in your area where you feel like you can ask the pastor all of your questions.  Church is not only for the already saved Christian.  \n\nI've already been praying for you.

I don't believe that the meaning of life is love. Life is a  mission given to every human by the almighty which must be fulfilled by the humans.\n                        The meaning of life is not love.. But according to me the meaning of love is life.

well i ain`t to sure about the way you put it and you sound really mad at the world right now but i don`t think we choose that road\n have you lost a love one are maybe thought about taking one you sound like you are lost between living and life why would you waste life worrying about death are other things close to that inless you are a victim are a killer. if you are a victim you learn to just have faith and beleave there are people there who do care and move on with your life cause there are to many wonderful things out in the world like breathing are watching the birds are spending time with someone you really love .and if u are a killer then you need to seek help soon before it takes you under

I can somewhat say that I understand how you feel or where you are coming from.  But you know, we shouldn't be living only for the riches of this world. God is still looking over you, do not be fooled by the devil trying to make every problem seem like the end of your life as though you are all alone in the world and no one cares.  He thrives at that.  The Holy Spirit is there, right with you.  Please talk to Him right now and ask Him to make His presence felt.\n\nAt times, I've have to do some silly things just to see if God was still listening to my prayers.  Once I asked Him to send down a piece of plain white cloth from no where. Less than a minute later I saw a beautiful all white bird flying down to my bedroom window. That was so comforting, even though I was going through the toughest time in my life.  I just knew that God was with me and loves me.\nRemember this...\nHeb 11:13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.\n\nI'll make you another example.  My grandma prayed for over 35 years for my grandpa to be saved. Everyone thought she was crazy (including their children). But one morning, I saw him take all his expensive bottles of whiskey and pour them out on the drain. From then on, he never looked back.  He loved the Lord till his death.  \n\nJesus Loves You and I do too

You have to choose if your obtaining your happiness at the expense of upsetting your family is worth it.  It is a personal decision and there is no right or wrong answer.  Sooner or later you will have to stand up for what you want in your life and not everyone will agree with your choices.  It is just a question of if now is that time for you?

Where is God when it hurts.\n\nThis is one of those awful situations, why do bad things happen, why does God allow sufferring? \n\nI don't exactly know the answer, but I do know that God wants you to rely on him to get through it, because he can bring healing and wholeness, I know this as first hand experience, I was going to walk away from God and not look back and he gently showed me he loved me and had a better plan. \n\nFaith is believing the what God has revealed trusting him, with out outside influence. \n\nTrust God he loves you and your friend who suicided. I am so sorry for your loss and that it still causes you pain.\n\nCast all your cares on God, for he cares for you. Allow him to heal you.\n\nYou are so special and God has a plan and purpose for your life.
