@Akwesenana, I do think of this but I'm learning to accept the reality "we're just living to die" but the question I ask myself is: am I dying to live or living to die? Ever since I was young, I questioned a lot of norms. I'm the type of kid that wondered how kids would just choose their future profession while I couldn't even tell myself "hey I wanna be a doctor"...

I wondered why humans thought they were any different from other animals or why people would think we're all alone in this vast universe or why someone would feel superior because of the color of their skin, language, and etc.

Even if I've learned to act like I agree with some societal norms but the truth is, there's nothing special about us. I kept waiting to hear some voice from above to tell me my purpose but I haven't heard sh*t.

When I was a kid, I read a lot — I remember reading a book titled "sociology" or something like that. The writer wrote about how a certain king separated three kids because he was curious to see which language they'd speak when they grew up. Everybody believed little kids spoke Hebrew ( "God's language" ). Unfortunately, they grew up dumber and couldn't speak any language but communicated through hand signs.

It was clear to me that if they had grown up in somewhere different, their "purpose" and "destiny" would be better off. Our location, circumstances, and decisions play a huge role in what our purpose or destiny would be. I'm not religious but I've got to admit, there's something bigger than us out there. It could be death, nature, or a Supreme Being. I don't know but it is what it is.

There's this YouTuber that made a video where he'd go to video game characters trying to convince them, that the video game is a false world created by humans. Guess what? These characters didn't believe it and called him crazy ! Imagine if someone walked up to you to tell you that all your life was just a game programmed by a "higher intelligence". That would surely be hard to swallow!

I think it's time we give our life a meaning and accept death as a part of life, I'm not perfect but I'm trying to stop thinking to the point of depression as someone, who's often in the ball of depression. Thinkers like @pansophist really help to make me work on myself.

Life is just a video game, I'm just a character and doing my best to live and not just exist.

pansophist:
Chickens and ants are also working hard to live. Should they stop existing too?

Why do you think human life, which is just one of the billions of lives out there the only one with purpose?

Why the arrogance or superiority of our lives in relation to other lives?

Those that are born in poverty and died in poverty, is their lives without purpose from the creator?

If life has a purpose, what is your purpose? If you don't know your purpose, why don't you know it?

Those that live to torment others, eg assasins and ritualist, is that their life purpose?

I ask you six questions. Oya, answer them all.

Cc. Badmashii come and answer too.

I'm glad I'm not alone.


First time quoting you, sir 🙌.

I should write a book on this topic.

It's becoming clear I'm not a social media person because I find it difficult to post pictures and sh:t. It's been months since I used Facebook and Twitter but I just got off Instagram just to go check out about this sad demise of Late Mohbad.

I could relate to what happened to him because I've been there and I think the matter is still like lingering.

The news is everywhere in the street.

I won't pretend I'm a huge fan of afrobeats but this is so sad. I wished it wasn't true but here it is...

akwesenana:
Rip to his account.

Aigooo, you scared me!

Anyway, I was sad too when I saw that he deactivated quietly...

@Akwesenana, I found out he deactivated days ago but I don't understand the "RIP". Please clarify 😳.

vtuKiosk:
How did you plan "Amazon KDP" to quickly sort out your bills?

I don't really understand your question but I know kdp isn't a get-rich-quick business but since writing is one of my hobbies, it was easy for me to give it a try.

I haven't started earning, I just uploaded my first book few days ago. By God's grace, I was able to do the formatting and cover design myself. So, I make out time to write and still go to work to pay the bills while I wait for a breakthrough.

GeneralPula:
Your scope can not work here..

You don ever see northerner wey deh bear Benjamin before?

I don't normally comment here but most of you from the South are so ignorant. The same North I was born and have lived in for decades 😳. God help y'all!


So, the name is only meant for you Southerners?

@Zyxsc


My life story resonates with your past. I'm from a very poor background, being away from school for 5 years because I was persuaded into apprenticeship but it was hell. I had to leave.

I tried programming but I live alone and gotta pay the bills so I had to stop but I'm trying out Amazon kdp right now. I'm currently 21. Any advice for me 🙏.
