The realization that dying is simply a waste.

No matter how bad it gets, dying is never the best thing you can do - I mean, if somebody loses all his money, for example, and he's desperate enough, attempting a heist/robbery is still a better option than suicide, that is, not counting actually working out of it.
That's just an extreme, most basic example, which serves as a foundation.
There is always a better option than suicide - die trying, if nothing else.

I don't know how old you are.
I have a "normal" life , kind of boring , and i'm a pessimist close from depression person , I gamble a lot on one thing this year and it failed , I really feel like falling apart...

BUT i'm young and I do think it is just some lessons that would lead me to others greats stories , and thes times I hope i will do better ( well I don't expect this experience to repeat in a close time or even ever , but I can only hope ).

tl;dr ( ??? ) : what you have lived are just lessons , understand them and keep fighting ( hard I know )

Life isn't that bad, especially when you get good at ignoring pain.

Also, I want be the longest lived person ever, or failing that, at least the longest lived male.

So many people here seem depressed.
I really believe most of your problems come from the wrong mindset. You can change it but it takes some time.
There are people that have almost nothing, yet they are pretty happy. We have so much, good food and water, a home, even a computer and tons of other things, but we only see what we don't have. Instead of enjoying the weekend we think of the work we have to do and so on...

The thought that no matter what kind of shit has hit the fan, it could always be worse.

I've been through two pretty bad depressions, both of them lasting around half a year, so any time I feel down on my luck I just remember, "Well hey, at least I'm not down in that position anymore" and get a little happier.

I have had some pretty ruff things happen to me in the past month. But what has kept me going is the thought that things ALWAYS get better. You just have to survive the storm, all my life every time I thought I was going to give up because life has just beaten me down so much. Things always started to look up, so keep your head up and just stand back up every time life knocks you down and give it the middle finger. :D

Honestly, the thing that really pushes me to keep going and not give up is to prove someone that I am not waste. To show that I am a better person than he/she intended.

Also, to start a family with my girlfriend and be the best father i can be.

Actually, nobody who exercises the smallest amount of critical intelligence on the subjects believes what they want. There's a word for beleiving what you want and it's called religion.

Others believe what they have to and live with the soul-crushing weight as they distract their ways through their lives. Maybe for a day, or a week they're really happy and if they're lucky that's enough to live for and to hope for.

And, yeah, you weren't alive before you were born, so it follows you won't be alive after you're dead. Therefore, death is the constant rule and life is the lie that deludes you through your brief spark of consciousness.

As long as I live an otherwise relatively comfortable life, I'm okay with that in as much as I can be, as I don't expect any existence more fulfilling.

Hardships, where they do come, distract you from the greater, purely emotionally destructive reality.





I've felt really fuckin' bad lately.



LOL! Bro that's just your reality. And no, believing what you want is the same as believing as you have to. In one instance you rule your beliefs, and in the other your beliefs rule you (believing what you have to).

Life isn't soul crushing. Life doesn't hold any negative or positive values. It simply is. The subconsciousness in large part dictates your reality. How you see the world, what you choose to believe. And in turn you attach negatives/positives.

Things happen, and life goes on. It would do you well to remember in the end, that you were the one who decided to view things so negatively. You and only you.

Also, please don't be another one of those atheist fucks who acts all high and mighty. Someone needs to kick you off your throne.

What's that even supposed to mean? What fucking throne do atheists sit on? The throne of science? The throne of academia? Maybe you should clarify.
I'm embarrased by my past actions and even more ashamed of my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name.

What keeps me going is my clear vision of what i want to obtain and achieve. With a clear goal in mind, i know the exact steps i need to take in order to get it. As a result of such a clear vision it is obvious to me what i need to do, and thats what keeps me going.

Death is certain. Life is random. I want to see how far this crazy world goes.

I've also come to realize that many hardships in life, weren't so bad in hindsight. There's some old Chinese proverb I like to remember/paraphrase that keeps me going.

One day a farmer's horse escapes, and cannot be found.
The farmer's neighbors feel bad and tell him "How unlucky"
The farmer responds, "Maybe.... maybe not..."
Next day the horse returns with a herd of wild horses.
The neighbors tell the farmer "How lucky!".
The farmer responds, "Maybe.... maybe not..."
Next day the farmer's son breaks his leg while taming the wild horses
The neighbors say, "How unlucky"
Farmer responds, "Maybe... maybe not..."
Next day, the Army is drafting young men, The son is spared.
Neighbors say "How lucky"
Farmer responds "Maybe... maybe not..."

I acknowledge this is a problem that often plagues many of us.
When you take 2 days off from work you have 5 days of work a week. The ratio of work to play is 2.5.
When you take 1 day off from work you have 6 days of work a week. The ratio of work to play is 6.

This phenomena is the reason why people get so much more stressed over slightly more work. Eventually I don't think the money becomes worth it for anyone but the workaholics.


When I feel really bad, I tend to just ride my bike for a while.
I don't cry often but when I do, I tend to pick myself back up really quickly. I pride myself in this trait.
I tell myself verbally that I don't give up. That it isn't me.
I don't think about how small or insignificant I am, I just feel I myself am important.

But if it were easier to end one's life I probably wouldn't still be here.

If you're asking for motivation instead, I could give a noble motivation but I'm not sure how motivated I really am when I spend all my free time napping and gaming
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

life gets a lot better once you find really good friends and a really cool girl, that's what keeps me going! oh, and really good books
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable
