What’s the point of life?
I’m writing this mainly because I feel like it but also I’m bored to be honest. I have been talking to my friends, one particularly, who is very upset in their life. Nothing seems to go their way and they lost their older sister when they were very young. She can’t seem to move on from this and every time she is upset she can’t stop thinking about her. She asks me to help her with her problems in life. Me being me I always do my best to help out friends but I can’t help but wonder why are we allowed to go through these things? 768Please respect copyright.PENANAtvmz8vxrmo
Death, fear, pain. All these things people have to deal with at one point or another but why does this happen to children and young adults like myself? I’ve always lived as the child that needs less attention. When my older brother-David- was alive i was always second priority as he needed help because of his disease. I never knew any better then but as I was growing up I only about 10/11 was beginning to see a world of death and sickness. From that age i knew that my brother was not going to live a long life like the rest of us. At the time I was a Christian and i believed that he was meant to be ill because god made him ill. When I was 13/14 i became more aware of how stupid that sounded. Why would “The Almighty” make his own people ill and cause them to die. Then i asked myself what’s the point in life if we are made to be sick and die. What’s the point in letting us suffer if “God” is real are we some game to it/him/her. “Let’s see which one dies first”. This is such a horrible thing for a teenage boy to go through.768Please respect copyright.PENANA08NNXxWUXe
Come September 13th 2006 my David, my brother and best friend died. I kept asking the same question over and over in my head “Why did he have to die?” Now that I’m 16 that question is still ringing through my head and my friends head. The question though has changed slightly “why do people die?” my friend keeps asking me why did her sister have to die and I feel helpless and it kills me to not be able to give an answer.768Please respect copyright.PENANAf9pIS4sz86
So again i ask, what’s the point in life? To some people it is to have a nice family and have kids. To others it is just a joyride, live it to the full. To me and my friend we are confused and can’t find an answer. We search for the answer to make us happy but we can’t find one. This question poses so many more questions. I have become over whelmed with questions. 768Please respect copyright.PENANAhR9s0zTF6t
Why do i search for the answer i know i will never find? Do i try and find it for myself or just so i can help people with the same questions as me? 768Please respect copyright.PENANAEhIf4pj3js
This will sound strange i know, but to me one question is like a tree. Start with 1 question it breaks into two and then they break into more questions. It a strange way to put it but it seems so true. But each question that comes out from the last is just as hard to answer as the first.768Please respect copyright.PENANAJrn0Iq3QCz
What’s the point in life? Monks meditate throughout their whole lives to search for the answer they call “enlightenment”. I think about meditation but i won’t get the answer instantly which gives no use because i feel as though i need it now. I need this answer.
I have countless answers. But which one is right. People say that “it’s different for everyone”. If a Christian said that to me i would say why? Your “God” created us the same so why don’t we have the same purpose in life. To that question there is no right or wrong answer, it come down to faith and beliefs.
I’m going away from that subject before i go into that and off what I’m trying to say. Ill finish here by saying ask yourself that question”What’s the point in life?”You won’t find answer but more questions.
