life help: Why does it seem like everyone is dying? - Help.com

Everyone dies eventually. If you want to be remembered after you die, do something big with your life. Otherwise, just find something that makes you happy and live your life doing that.

Everyone dies. It is inevitable. You’re going to die, and so I am.
I believe the purpose is to do what you want to do.
I don’t care that no one will remember me. I’m working toward a degree in nursing. I’d like to get married, maybe have a kid, maybe not, depends on what my husband does. I don’t care if that child never does a school project on his/her family tree.

I guess all I can really tell you, is accept it. If you can’t accept not understanding life, or being mortal, I don’t think I can tell you anything.

Hope it helps a little to know you’re not alone in knowing there’s no purpose in life…

I NO!
life is suckish. x

Life is what you make it. If you don’t like your life, you need to make some changes. No one is going to do it for you.

I’ve had a lot of people come and go in my life. The one thing I’ve found is noone ever truely dies in your memories.

Eris - Yes, that I can understand. I simply wanted to know if I was the only one who realized there was no greater purpose, no reason why the universe should care what we do. But that doesn’t mean I don’t care what I do. :)

Jjlove - I feel there should be a purpose, but I cannot discern what it is, and I’m not going to spend my life chasing it, just in case it’s not actually there. And like I said, maybe certain people can change the world, but does that really make a difference, insignificant little planet Earth as we are?

Billie - Put simply, yes. Though that’s a bit morose.

Very true. Death isn’t easy to deal with, but it’s something that can’t be avoided.

Ever heard, “That which has not killed me has just served to make me stronger”??? It is so true…

Yeah, it usually makes you more miserable, too.

However, thanks for the contribution, Jjlove. All opinions are appreciated. :)

Shad - Maybe. But like I said, memories fade when people die.

You have to spend your life doing something. Do you suppose it’s better spending it being negative and worrying about such things as dying? Hmmm, doesn’t sound like much fun to me, but it’s your life to spend however you wish.

Agreed. Which, at the moment, is what I’m trying to do. Figure out my purpose, even if it’s only to serve as a warning to others. :D (Despair.com, people. I love it)

Ha! Yes. I have guessed as much. :P

Death its just the continuing of living; the matter is what have we done to the others if we were good, or sad, or optimists, or pessimists, how hard we tried, if people know us, if our smile and perfume is memorable…

Mystery of death is on all people’s head; because of their Vanity mostly. We dont want to die because we dont know what lies ahead, but we do want to die and quit on everything, when things get tight.

A friend of mine died 3 weks ago. He had a great smile, he was 23y.o. he worked hard, and he was a good person. And he died. Isnt it freaky?

Dying thoughts are normal.

Being negative, for me is not a matter. Its just the opposite viewing of life.

That is an interesting perspective…
I wish we could have these kinds of discussions in English class. It would be much more interesting than the Use-Of-Persuasive-Language essays we are writing. And we could actually practice using persuasive language instead of talking about it. :)

Life is what we make it.
Live every single day as though it were your last.
Live, love, learn, teach. Grow day by day.
Open your heart to all of life’s experiences.
“But above all of this—LOVE”. The greatest gift ever.
Ours for the taking, and most definitely for the giving.
Whatever we give out in life comes bounding back to us.
So, try not to dwell on the END of life so much.
Strive to keep TODAY in your heart. Make every day a new beginning.
And no matter what, pass it on to the Children.
Now, THERE is our future. Edie

Yes.. Love.. I so agree :)

I suppose so… :)
But if today were my last day, I’d be outside, running in the rain, lying on the grass and laughing at the sky.
Which, since it is not my last day (I hope) would look absolutely ridiculous. :P

I have tried it quite a few times. And you could say it’s easier, because I’m not yet an adult, so maturity is not quite expected of me yet. But it is easier to have a few friends when they aren’t weirded out by everything you do. :)
I’ve tried having fun, but I got lonely, so now I’m trying to be “cool.” It’s extremely boring, and I’m still all but invisible, but that’s better than being the odd one out, I think. And I can still express myself at home. :)

You talk to an “odd one” and “weirdo” lol

Everything we are is nice, but it must be original

Be cool because you ARE cool… not to seem cool…

And dont forget, people dont need excuses to talk bad about you. They will no matter what. So being something authentic, make your life easier ;)

:) True.
It’s not that I care what they think.
Just that I’m becoming skeptical of things I once accepted without question. :)

Lol, that seems to be their intent, though! :D
Soon they won’t have many of us left… :)

nahhhhhhh they cant get us of their head so easily… If we teach our children to think… and so on :D

If I ever have children, that is why I will teach them. :) Someday the world will have to accept that we were right!

I am counting on that to pull us through. :D

You said earlier you are not an adult but you seem that you think with maturity rathers other do.. I am impressed xD

You read books? I like reading all the time xD

:D Books are my life. Perhaps there’s a connection there.
Maybe that’s what keeps us dreamers afloat. :P

Yup I believe that too! Whats your favorite? I looooooove “The Perfume” by Patrick Ziskiend (or w/e lol) much before it gets to movie theaters xD

My favorite is “The Deed of Paksenarrion” by Elizabeth Moon. Better than Harry Potter. Even better than “The Lord of The Rings,” in my opinion. :) Though barely anyone has heard of it.

I dont remember who, but someday back somebody someone (lol details) suggested this book to me *rubs chin thinking*

So you like epic fantasy :D

I like H.P. Lovecraft, E.A. Poe… and poetry… Poetry can make me cry LOL

Yes, epic fantasy is a good way to put it. Elves absolutely fascinate me. :D
I also like powerful poetry, the kind that makes you think of love and death and deep stuff like that. I’m writing a poem right now, but it’s pretty difficult because I obsess over rhyming. :)
And movies and books can seriously make me cry, lol. All my friends are sitting there dry-eyed just watching as the protagonist’s best friend dies, and I’m like, “Hello? Have you no emotions at all?!” :P

omg am I talking to myself?
LOL

:) lol

What else you like?

Movies I assume.. writing..

You can also open up a blog to unfold your thoughts, I am a blogger for 2 years now and Its very relieving to share some thoughts with other ppl

:)

:) Yes, I enjoy movies, although I haven’t been able to find many good ones recently - it seems I have watched them all! :D I like writing, but I can never finish a story because I can never think of a good plot - although I’ve been coming up with some things lately. Poems are easier in some ways, because you don’t need a story, although you can have one.
I’m not sure I could keep up a schedule, and it’s bad enough that I usually wait until seven to start my homework. :)

Hey I need to go and tide up the house a little lol

So if you want you can shout in my box anytime or reveal yourself and friend me ;)

Take care my friend x)
