Beautiful things of life lol. The only thing life promises us is death.

Martinez19:
it's true that money brings happiness, temporarily but happiness brings permanent satisfaction with life.

Lol, okay then.

Martinez19:
my secret is that I place happiness over money. From personal experience, If we make money the must important thing in our lives, as we have done inevitably at one point in time, the kind of worrying that will kill you is out of this world . Happiness and your passion should come first, that way you will most happy and fulfilled.

Money brings happiness lol, happiness brings what?

Martinez19:
Don't worry yourself too much dear, we will all die and we may all face down times. Whatever be case, just be merry, follow your interest and passion and be happy.

Hmm..
Thanks dear.

mhisbliss:
We're both saying the same thing in a different way dear, life is difficult because we humans made it difficult

Fair enough.

TheEminentLaity:
Is this some sort of a poor (wo)man's poetry or a suicide note, makydebbie?

No, it's neither. Just wanted to pour out my mind.

pocohantas:
I have 3 on each ear.
I got one from birth, as usual.
I opened the extra 2 out of youthful exuberance.
Better than being on some illegal diet, hah?

I wanna pierce my nose and draw a tattoo .

Same here, I want to pierce my nose. And I plan to get two on both ears.

Hmmm.......

Life is simple as far as I'm concerned. Life is all about acceptance and carefully selecting the things you want to worry about and the things you don't want to lose sleep over.

You can decide to pick some simple things of life to live for or decide to till the land till you achieve big and be happy while doing it. It's a choice.

You can live your life according to other's definition or just define yours and stick with it...another choice.

Someone once made a simple analogy with his life. He said when he was younger he wanted so much out of life, the fast cars, money, women, good food, etc. Then he grew older and achieved a lot of his dreams but realized he didn't live while gunning for these things. Now he wished he had paid more attention to his health, his family, his surroundings and beyond, music, etc. He wanted the simples now. Isn't this what the critics of Abraham Maslow were talking about?

I think the simpletons are the real salt of this earth.

I say take things easy, look around you more, hug your loveys more, listen, get a massage, smile, laugh, don't mind Buhari, listen to music, know that 24hrs is not enough in a day, allow yourself some indulgence, don't be afraid, be appreciative, be fair in your dealings, make peace with your inner self, don't allow negative people rub off you, try on different shades of lipsticks every other week...find your pace.

This here would annoy the heck outta my Mom if she reads it but na me be me

Thanks sis, you made me feel better.

Jamie90:
You are obviously having suicidal thoughts. If that's the case, I won't encourage you not to because everyone has the right to do whatever they want with their life.

I find it ironical that a feeble minded person said that her thread isn't for the feeble mind.

Yes!, you are feeble minded; If not, you should have known that the challenges we face in life is what makes it interesting and fun. life is full of challenges but when properly managed, they could become opportunities.

And no, we don't live to die; that's not the purpose of life.
Whatever happened to our fallen heroes; Nnamdi azikiwe, awolowo, ahmadu bello, uthman dan fodio, and even your beloved Ghanaian Kwame Kyeretwie Boakye Danquah, who was arguably the greatest nationalist in Africa. Did these men live to die? No!, they properly tackled the challenges they faced, and in turn, these challenges gave them the opportunity to become heroes

We live to make a mark; to create a legacy that shall live on even when are gone.

Try to make yourself proud, and I bet you - your mentality about life will change.

#happy Sunday.

How can challenges in life be fun? If a sickle cell patient is feeling this way, will you tell the person it's fun? You'll have to explain in details how challenges we face is fun.

What if life doesn't give you the chance to leave a legacy behind by dying early? What has that person achieved by dying around 23?
Thanks for your wonderful advice.

mhisbliss:
Life is difficult because you and i made it what it is, every hardship in life is as a result of our own undoing, God didn't want this for us, he gave everything free, then we came along and added a price tag to everything, now everyone have to fend for himself for if you don't nothing will come your way, so life is what we have to do to survive, or you can take the easy way out by dying, and thats cowardly

Life gives us the hardship sometimes. Remember that child with blue eyes that was chased from the family because she had beautiful set of blue eyes, and her family were superstitious? What did she do to deserve it? She didn't make her circumstances. It's what life gives that we take. Life shapes us into what we're.

princfred:
"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". Thats the problem and solution. Meanwhile i feel someone you love hurt you hence these thoughts . Life is money, good health, love and purpose. The purpose to find those and help others do.

Not at all. Wasn't hurt.

rebirthforgoody:
My lady please don't even think anything negative.....always remember to God whenever you feel that way

Thanks sis.

Kleenatics:
Life is survival, life is reproduction. You were created to survive and recreate/reproduce.

Those that didn't get the chance to reproduce nko?

MrMystrO:
This question i cannot answer and i believe nobody Alive can. Nevertheless My contribution to this and to help with 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 Subjective. 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. 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.

Hmm... Deep.

Thanks for sharing this words of wisdom. Thanks for your kind words.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I myself I don't even know the essence that is why when some people say it is all vanity I don't even argue.Sometimes these are questions one would need to ask the creator.Sometimes I see this life as a drama God the producer and director,Humans the cast or character and angels the crew(literature).It may not necessarily be a fight to lose because some people do leave a good name behind even if they are 6 ft under and are still remembered till today or even immortalised it may not be a fight to lose if some of us have fulfilled our purpose on earth.As for the poem it was complex and it took time for me to understand.

Okay sis, thanks for contributing.

AyamConfidence:
babe life is not trash....there's more to it

Ion know how to even explain it but one thing I'm sure of is that nothing lasts forever....even if it's bad now...things will get better

I know you might have heard that a lot so let me just scare you.... suicide issa big sin

But things don't really get better do they?

Thanks dear.

Thegamingorca:
Sorry if I rushed you

It's okay, you can modify.

MrMystrO:
Lol in the bigger Picture, Everyone and everything fulfills their purpose. The purpose man gives to himself and other things is a Miniature purpose, a "fake" one. In the bigger picture, Everything Existing Fulfils a Purpose and that Purpose is ALWAYS fulfilled. The Universe is ALWAYS BALANCED.

How is this purpose always fulfilled? Imagine someone dying a day to their graduation. What purpose did this person fulfill?

Thegamingorca:
...

Somewhere else biko.

IamD18:
That's the only thing humans are sure of in this life.

Nothing else.

I agree. The only thing we're promised in this life is death.

Thegamingorca:
Death Is inevitable. The onus is therefore on us to ensure we are ready for death by ensuring we have made enough contingency plans to continue our legacy even after we are long gone, baby

Will life and death even give us the chance? The way life just want to be hard on some people by force. Life wouldn't even give you the chance to be ready for death.
Okay dear, thanks for contributing.

MrMystrO:
Life is Death. Life and death are the Biggest Paradox in all Existence.

Hmm.. True.

Ladyhippolyta88:
To me life is a battlefield you fight for what you earn or own you lose some you win some . Nothing on earth is permanent that is why things and times changes.Your questions are valid nothing like happily ever after but I believe there is something like happily sometimes after.Meaning you can be happy today and sad tommorow.While reading through where you stated being a child is the best thing ever reminded me of a poem Birches by Robert frost in which he stated that you lose nothing or think about anything in childhood.

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.

IamD18:
Life don't have a pure and understandable definition, you can only understand some aspects of life, but can't have a full knowledge of what LIFE is all about.

Your stay on earth will be miserable if you get to have the full knowledge of what LIFE is all about.

Just live to leave.

So it's all about living to die.

Thegamingorca:
It's thoughts like this that really make man evolve into who we are today.

Why are we distant from monkeys bacteria and non living things.

Because we are here for a purpose.

We have been programmed to keep evolving learning creating and passing information we garner to our successors to continue for us.

What of those that died purposelessly? They had a purpose too. Some were at the verge of fulfilling their purpose but they died.

IamD18:
Sometimes questions like this looks complicated but very simple to answer.

As long as humans are scared of death, they'll never understand what LIFE is all about.

I'm not even scared of death anymore since it's inevitable.

What's the answer?

Thegamingorca:
To ask you to be my girl


Ive been meaning to but ive been worried you were already hitched. Especially with your incessant talks of getting your nethers well kissed at mornings.

Lol, see someone you barely know. Is it because of my age? Or you think I'll die soon.

DonPiiko:
No one is less important, trust me I am very old and experienced. I have seen a lot of things. Can you mail me your whatsapp

Hmm.. I hear.

Shedrack777:
seems like you don't have christ. go and accept christ my dear

Lol, I know Christ. But there are some things you just have to ask and understand. Logical questions.

Thegamingorca:
i suddenly feel this commandeering will to come over to meet u in that ghana.

Lol why?

AyamConfidence:
ah Debbie

Don't feel that way na...we still love you around here

Life is worth living na....you need someone to talk to.... WhatsApp??

I don't know. It just occurred to me this life is trash. If only suicide wasn't a sin.

DonPiiko:
It isn't but we can break the heart of those who love us when we are no more in the picture. Everyone has a huge demon there are battling with, I always feel empty and that's part of why I don't make friends. But a sure way to be fine for sometime is by hanging out with someone that means a lot to you, and has been there for you in th past, not new people.

If you know how easily forgotten the dead are...

Please this post is not for the feeble or dull minds.


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.
