No one dead or alive can answer this question.
And it is the reason for suicide in many cases.

Death is not really the feared, it is the aftermath we all fear, The unknown.
Religions makes it more fearful with the place called HELL.

Why are some so rich, others so poor?
Why are challenges and problems lined up like hurdles,
jump one onto the next.

Why are we here in the first place, where do we go afterwards?
For what purpose do we live?

Some say to serve God.
How did God came to be?

This is not about any religion,
as each goes against the other.
This is just logical reasoning with seemingly foolish
questions yet no answers.

Sometimes i look closely at the ones i love, the fear of losing them is so great.

Each to their own, and NO ONE has the right to judge:-

Some believe God doesnt exist.
why? They say if he does then why so many unjust in this world. I agree to their answer but not their beliefs.



Too much questions with no answers.
too many.....

Life is what you make of it. We all have a choice. When you free yourself of other people’s choices and expectations then you truly begin to live. Try to live a good life that respects even the least amongst you or the youngest. Live a free life and try to reduce all negativity. At the end of the day, we are the only ones that take ourselves so seriously. No one else does. Also, at the end of the day, we die and life continues. This life is eternal and all those who think life is a do or die affair will one day fade into non existence and life will move on! Just free yourself and you will live. No one has all the answers to the mysteries of life, we are all just trying to live our best life.

Is this life worth anything?

What is life?

Because, I've come to realize that we're just living to die. And is this life worth the whole stress of living? If my question makes any sense.

I've also come to understand you don't live happily at any point. Things will happen and situations will keep stressing you at every point. When you're poor, you want to be rich so that you can solve your problems. But when you're also rich, there'll be stress. You'll start trying to make sure you don't go back to poverty and invest wisely. You can't just sit and enjoy your wealth. Situations will keep cropping up. Sometimes I'm scared to be happy because happiness doesn't last. Something bad must always happen.


What is this life?
Is it worth the stress that issues will keep coming up and you don't even get to sit back and enjoy?


Being a child is the best thing that happened to us all. Because then you had no worries, as we grow, our needs becomes endless. We're insatiable.

What is life? I'm tired of living, living this hard life knowing I'm going to die anytime and my goals and dreams that I'm working for becomes nothing at the end. I'm tired of getting almost everything wrong. Tired of not being happy all the time and the stress that keeps coming up.


What is the essence of life if we're just living and suffering only to die. Because in this life, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. We're just going through hell, just to die at the end.

Quite interesting to see multidimensional beings, having the human experience, screwing up on this thread.

"Know thyself"

LIFE IS A GIFT.

And this thread answered the questioned I asked myself when I'm down,I think you guys that commented has make me realize one thing or the other..thanks so much for your time..you just save a soul�

Just as plants are here to add value to the world, but cut down and devoured, so you're also here to add value to the living organisms, cut down and devoured. However, some plants will be used as firewood, some will be used to build a long lasting edifice (even though these plants will be too dead to savor their usefulness), some of these plants will even be worshipped. This is exactly how we are - add value to the world, just that some people will seem more useful than others, while some will be remembered almost forever (This means nothing to a dead man).

This question has plagued humans since days of old.

I personally believe, Life (nature) has given everybody what he needs to be happy. Where we get it wrong is when we search for things that we have already.

Almost like using your phone torch to search for the phone itself (we know how frustrating that can be).

You just need to allow yourself to discover yourself. There's a Japanese concept called Ikigai, the French call it raison d'être. Basically means your reason for being.

The summary of that concept is attached in the image below. Everyone has an Ikigai, some spend their entire lives not discovering it.

Some discover it early and change the world, as someone once said, every human being wants to be happy first above all. What we don't realise is that happiness is relative and different for every individual.

When you come to that level of mental balance and self realization, you'd come to see that nothing fazes you and you are more powerful than you give yourself credit for...

makydebbie,

Life is a Simulated Cosmic Game. It is a game for Spirit to play and enjoy different characters, which are the Avatars. The one you know as ego. You see, Existence is an Enigma. <<<<<Sentience, Unconscious, Conscious, SubConscious and Super Conscious on the levels of the Matrix>>>>>>.

You see, your conscious mind is questioning the irrationality of a 120 Earth Years apportionment for Consciousness to become aware of itself and Begin to Play the Games without a mistake.

Do not kill yourself even though you have nothing to loose, after all, you will still die, but why cut it short when you can enjoy the ride.

While at it, remember, that all the laws and commandment were set up to make you suffer, it is the default code of the 3D Physical Plane vibrating at 7.83Hz, the problem is that the plane of existence has been bombarded with Radio Frequency/EMF radiations so bad that you lost connection to the Divine and the Religions are there to dump you down and take your money and present you a mental Heaven, no planet mentioned that will host Heaven, they Lie, they manufacture hell too.

It is a Game friend, just enjoy the ride.

bullshit... . Everything you said up there, our laws and commandments are all social constructs and mental fabrications. There is no single doctrine in which one can know the true essence of things...

MrMystrO:
This question i cannot answer and i believe nobody Alive can. Nevertheless My contribution to this and to help with your post and these thoughts of yours, is that first of all understand, What are we all striving for? Plato said the Ultimate Goal of Man is to be Happy. So then, how do you find happiness? Happiness is Relative. One mans i don blow is another mans I'm in wreck!! First key to Unconditional happiness is to Understand that Material things DO NOT bring real happiness because they are never enough. They only activate a sense of self rewarding feeling but they do not bring True happiness. To me, i believe True happiness can be found in Appreciating to the highest degree, the Little things of life. Appreciate to the highest degree the sunrise and sunset, Appreciate the cool breeze that blows in the evening, appreciate the lovely stars that shine at night.. appreciate Art, Music and anything Artistic. Appreciate those special people in your life who love you and always care about your well-being. Think of Life as a whole as a work of art, including the happy times and the Sad times, Learn to appreciate this art and believe me you will find a very deep sense of fulfillment in every situation, deeper that any you've ever felt. Learn to Unconditionally appreciate this Chaotic Cage we've found ourselves in and watch yourself become free inside...

I do hope you Live free and find unconditional happiness my good friend.

You quote exactly what mind would order my hand to write. Thumb up to you sir

I just want to know the essence of this life.
It's seems life is a battle that you fight to lose.
I even doubt the happily sometimes after. It's short. And the real struggles starts again. I've read birches.

I have so many things to share with you about your write up! Same question make me think Notting is Real in this Life!

The essence of life is to worship God.

abbaapple:



Same question make me think Notting is Real in this Life!

Life is like a video game. You create whatever you like from the characters you choose.

But again, the video game software could be real.

life is an opportunity,lets utilize it to make the best of our future and that of our kids.
Those that say the essence of life is to worship god then what will be the essence of an afterlife?enjoyment(which is present here)?
infact earth is sweeter than the promised heaven because we have jets,games,films,bikes,internet,and much more,none was promised in bible n quran except honey,swimpools,milk and bitches(which ofcourse we already have)
2.if you say life is meaningless without worship then life in heaven will also be meaningless and vanity.Madness is repeating same expecting a different result,which in heaven you enjoy and live forever expecting a different kind of joy or suffering.
pleasr lets help our scientific counterparts improve life.they are working on defeating death and discovering the mystery of the cosmos.

Find that thing that gives you real joy and you will find the meaning of life.

PERSONAL fulfillment is what brings that elusive happiness.

To achieve this personal fulfillment, you need to start setting your PERSONAL goals and then working on achieving them.

And while you are at that, you really really need to adopt the principles of contentment.

This life is a PERSONAL journey.

It behooves on you to make the journey worthwhile.

The end goal is happiness.

You see...?

Life is very simple.

Hi Debbie,

The essence of life is one question which has troubled mankind from the beginning of time up until today...

I have also pondered on this and have come to the conclusion that...

Life is to be enjoyed, to be savoured, to be LIVED.

To LIVE is to LOVE... and to LOVE is to LIVE...

I believe the life purpose of every human being is to affect people around them and the world at large in positive ways... To impact and impart as much as possible before the end of one's life... Positive impacts and impartations...

Remember, no matter how many years one lives or will live, those years pass by in moments, seconds and minutes... Live in every of those moments, revel in them, be immersed in them and when your time to go comes, you'll go knowing you did all the positive things you could, to all the people you could at all the times you could...

A very nice thread and I hope you understood my post...

Enjoy the rest of your day today...

Good thing to know that we are all mortal, Is that not enough reason to enjoy this life to the fullest?

Sugar97:
We will eventually die someday but I do not believe life ends at death. Neither does the reality of death make life (or living) worthless.

I think the most important question would be "how did you live your life"? People like Mother Teresa and Martin Luther etc. still live in the hearts of many. They are still a source of inspiration to many even though they are dead.

Your goals, accomplishments, dreams etc. need not be useless after you are dead, they can inspire many too.

I don't know what is you're going through specifically but I hope you find strength

Cc Makydebie

Thanks darling.

Jamie90:


Are you trying to be funny? Being a sickler is a challenge but certainly not fun. In essence, not all challenges are fun.

Life would certainly be less fun if we had our way with everything. Let's take for a example, an undergraduate trying to make First Class. Making First Class becomes a challenge while reading and working hard becomes fun. If the latter wasn't a prerequisite for the former, then you'd certainly agree with that school wouldn't be fun anymore.

Another typical example was the challenges faced by African nationalists. They derived some sort of fulfilment in working towards freeing us from the shackles of the colonial masters.

Simply put, without challenges, life wouldn't be worth living.
Both co-exist

Can you ever be objective when quoting me? First you called me feeble because according to you, I refused to see all challenges as fun. I asked a question that has been bothering me. It makes me human, inquisitive, wanna understand what this life is all about. I'm not feeble.

I used the sickler as an example for you because not all challenges are fun. Because you didn't make it clear in your post that all challenges aren't fun. Thanks for your advice.

UDUJ:


Your question is unique; as is any question pondering on the meaning or purpose of life.

The essence of life is one’s innate characteristics, quality and substance of thoughts and actions. A person of the aforesaid qualities, generally, radiates personality flair. Let me give an example of such person from history:

His name was Goethe a German philosopher, poet and other attributes. In his own life he experienced much sorrow, but gradually he gained an inner command over life’s difficulties and attained a detachment and calm which brought peace to him. Napoleon first saw him when he was over sixty. As he stood in the doorway, there was something in his face and figure, an untroubled look and bearing so full of dignity, that Napoleon exclaimed: “Voila un homme!” meaning (Look) “What a man!”

Whoever acquires detachment and calm following difficult time may emerge a person with essence of life spreading fragrance of his/her qualities. There are many dignitaries in this category, but the above just flashed in my mind.

So in summary, to me the essence of life is To Know Thyself. For me "know thyself" means to know your authentic self, true you or sincere core. Name it however you'd like to.

It's to know your real:

Goals (what do you want in life?)
Values (why do you want to achieve your goals?)
Style (how do you want to achieve your goals?)
From here one can move towards their dreams and have happy, fulfilled life.

In my opinion, it's not enough to "know thyself", you need to "be thyself". You might find out your true want but still doing a job you hate. You've got to have guts to follow your heart. You will thank yourself later for this.

Sweetheart, thank you. Your post is wonderful.

Barywhyte:


Hello Op. somebody earlier attempted to answer your query.

Who is your creator? who created you? Ask him that question. He has all the answer.

Hmm..
Okay then, thanks.

peacengine:


Hahaha I will like to see your pix fine girl. Life is never ending. Do you think the soul dies? Your soul is immortal and that is where life truly finds its purpose. In the physical, you can do well to leave a legacy behind by good works but life continues after

Thanks. You're right here.

alpontif:


What a wonderful question. I am truly pleased to come across this question this evening.....it is a sign that you are heading towards enlightenment. To answer your question, I want you to keep something in mind, and that is; Wisdom , when pursued to its utmost extent, becomes foolishness. I will illustrate that point further in this answer.

The short answer is philosophically speaking, Life is pointless. Everything is pointless. Yes.

If you read Ecclesiastes very well, you will understand the true nature of our existence. It is completely pointless, and that fact has serious implications for the mindset we have, and how we live this pointless life.

The implication is you either have to become a Stoic hedonist, or an ascetic.

Live life, enjoy it, pursue pleasure, if you get it , fine, if you don't fine, if you are rich fine, if not, fine.....in the long run...nothing matters...we will all die and the universe will grind on.

Where in ecclesiastes?
Thanks for contributing. God bless.

Newbeginnings:


Life has no purpose, just look at us human beings, believing that we are better than animals and yet we die just the same way.

In the end the same bacteria eat our bodies and we turn to nothing... so where are we headed.. Where are we going? After enjoying lots of fun at the age of 20, we age into beings that can barely move at the age of 70...

Why is life like that...

Life is not actually like that, but that is how Human beings think life is... What is life actually, why do you need air to survive, what is your consciousness.

To be truthful, you need to first understand what you are and who you are before you can understand who you are... remember that you are not makydebbie or debbie or deborah or whatever your name is... That name is who your parents say you are and not who you actually are...

We are born and the next thing we believe is that girls are supposed to do this or do that.. who taught us to do all that.. Who started life and who started the rules... Why do we live the way we do... Why are their religions and everything.

For you to understand the purpose of life, you have to actually have a broad mind. You have to forget everything you believed....

Why can't you wear blue, black, green, yellow, red and white together. Because people will say it is color riot... so is that what life is all about living for other people...

Why can't you wear tattered clothes outside, because of what people will think... Is life all about other people or about you...

That is why we can't learn the true purpose of life, because we keep thinking about ourselves, we keep thinking of why we have to struggle...

The universe is so large, have you asked yourself, why there are so many animals in the world or so many fishes in the waters, why do we need so many species... Why does life exist everywhere...

Where is life going to and why does it exist in the first place... Why do I have to grow, go to school and get a job and work till I age, then give birth and my kids repeat the process... is this how life is or is this how humans beings want life to be... For you to understand the purpose of life you need to stop thinking about how humans beings live their life and start asking about why everything exists and where everything is going to... Why do the clouds exists and why are they here..

These questions are the beginning of understanding

Okay, thanks.

awoo47:
pray u get delivered from ur troblues soon

Amen.

nowpresence:

It's all about appreciating life and all what she gives to us and also accepting death. Death is a passage. People were here before you came and you are also going to give way for people to come.
My dear just enjoy what you can and when death comes you go.
Begin to live your life in the present. Be present.

Okay sis.

Lost my best friend during NYSC. He was even part Of NCCF workerz... Since then have been asking lot of questions no one can answer.
Don't worry tomorrow I'll share the little I could. So we can rub minds together.
How are you doing?

I'm okay I guess. This has been troubling me for a while now. I didn't understand the essence of living life.

daneni1:


Hi Makydebbie,

I want to believe all these is all in the mind. Though each and everyone of us will die one day, dats the only certain thing on earth. However, b4 death comes knocking, there are lots of things to be happy abt.

one thing I have come to realise is DAT, each time we wear our problems on our face and worry abt dem each passing day, dats wen it weigh us down and eat us of our joy and happiness.

I once read a book, I have forgotten the author tho, its titled "game of life and how to play it".

The author sees life as a game, she believes that if we can have negative tot in our heart and dey come to past, y can't we be positive also for it to become a fruition in our lives.

There is no one without challenges, our attitude towards life is all that matters.

My motto has always been, "nothing is worth worrying over"

Also, each time we act like our challenges don't exist, dats wen we win but d more we meditate it in our mind, it becomes a stronghold, pulling us down always.

So life is a game we're all going to lose?

blinxx:
Hi..
There is a reason for life. You are here to fulfill a purpose and if you don't find or know what that purpose is, then life seems meaningless.

You have asked a very good question. It's not just about having Christ.
I will advice you take out time to read this book 'The purpose driven life' by Rick Warren. Believe you me, it will shape your perspective and help you find that purpose and give your life a better meaning.

God bless.

Thanks sir.
