I could write a long-ass story about why life isn't fair and all, and maybe I will do so some other time or some other threat, but that's not what I want to talk about this time. I want to hear from you what kept you going when life was hard on you, who or what was it that kept you going?   | ||

"Don't imagine a tragic end to the book when there's not. You've gotta try to rewrite, in spite of how crooked the plot." "I am - I mean - I was, slipping away. But no matter what I am, I'm me, and I know me so I'm okay." @Flip9: Actually, death is forever. It spans infinitely behind and in front of life. "Life is just a lie, with an 'f' in it, and death is definite.". @Zergzilla: "Life's a bitch, and ima hold her tight" | ||

no one knows if death is forever or not. life is coming and going all the time. anyways, everyone believes what he wants, and it's mostly pointless to try to convice others. From my experience its more benefical to not think much about this stuff, or the future or past - but instead accept the present moment and live now. | ||

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. | ||

And, yeah, you weren't alive before you were born No one can proof that. You believe it because it sonds logically to you. I respect your believe, but I still have my own belive. Trying to convince me that what you belive is right is about as pointless as me trying to convice you of what I belive is right. Maybe its best to end our discussion here, since its offtopic and we also don't really get much out of it. | ||

I was operating under the impression that you consider life what you are living. I don't believe it because it "sounds" logical. I believe it because its pure fucking logic. Like... I don't even know what to say. You're just wrong by absolute definition. We can observe your brain develop as a fetus and you can remember times when you were alive, and you've also felt yourself develop mentally, emotionally, over time. Obviously, nobody has been alive before they were born ( as history shows...) unless you think that you're the only real consciousness on this earth, which I can just assure you myself, you're not. | ||

Try keeping to how you yourself deal with stuff. Thank you. From what I can see so far in this thread is that what keeps people going is hope. Positive experiences are also important. And I'd say having a really good friend and doing things you love are positive as well. | ||

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 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 ) | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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..." | ||

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 | ||
