• (1 vote) I’m not afraid to die anymore, I need help.
  

  When reaching the point of no longer fearing death, What is the point. It seems as if our whole lives are the journy to accepting death, Then we die. And the circle is complete.
  
  But when you reach this at a young age, What is the point. The point, simply is that you have what those at 80 are just reaching. You have acceptance. You are able to say, “Ya know what, I already know I’m going to die, And I dont give a fu©k”.
  
  Count yourself lucky, You can spend the rest of your life living. Where so many others are learning how to die, You can learn to live. You’re one of the few, Count your blessings.
  
  As far as being suicidal, Ill tell you what I was told by a friend the night after she attempted to kill herself.
  
  “Death isn’t the objective. Death isn’t the goal, And it’s not what we strive for. Knowing that theres another life in death, Knowing that this life can end and its all over, Thats what its all for, Thats the point. The only thing I didn’t realize until now, Is that I can make another life out of this one. I don’t have to die to end suffering. I don’t have to embrace eternal silence to be in a quiet room. I don’t have to bleed to feel like I’ve escaped”
  
  Hope that helps, And I hope you work things out.

• (1 vote) Would life be meaningless if there was no afterlife ?
  

  Would it make life meaningless?
  
  No.
  
  You still are apart of the living, The existance. And there is always an afterlife, Just depends on how you look at it.
  
  
  It doesn’t have to be spiritual.
  
  Once you’re dead, you become part of the ground. You fertilizer the grass, are food for the creatures living below (thats not morbid, if you look at it as the continuation of life). You bodily gases are released into the atmopshere and help make it up.
  
  You’re name lives on in peoples words, and in their memories.
  
  It’s just how you look at it. There is always an after life.

• (1 vote) Why do some people in life seem to get everything they
  

  The rich stay rich, because they aren’t crying and complaining everytime something bad happens to them. They make the best of it, They understand that life is about living, not dying.
  
  The poor stay poor, because they aren’t trying, They don’t take chances, and they certaintly dont take sacrafices.
  
  Am I a working poor? Haha you just fired the loaded gun on that question.
  
  No, I’m not. I was =). I lived with my father and brother for 10 years, in a one bedroom apartment. All three of us worked jobs. And we didn’t have cable, hell we didn’t have a **** tv. One car, My dad drove. Two bikes, For my brother and I. We saved electricty, Took 5 min MAXIMUM showers. Did laundry only once a week and didnt eat out for about five years. We made ******* sacrafices, with big dreams. None of us went to college. We had it rough, But by god, we made it clear to ourselves we were going to get out.
  
  And looky looky, I live on my own in a nice two bedroom apartment, I have my own car, Cable, I can afford to eat out.
  
  My dad lives with his girlfriend in an extremely nice cabin. With all the luxuries.
  
  My brother was able to move to New York, from Nc.
  
  So yeah, Its possible, You just gotta work for it.

• (1 vote) I seem to hate waking up most days and going to sleep at night…
  

  [quote jordan.maso]Change your life.
  
  “[I] dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was [me]. Soon I awoke, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.” -Chuang Tzu[/quote]
  
  One of my favorite quotes of all time. ^-^

• (1 vote) my life has gone to hell , and im tired of hearing
  

  Excuse me for saying, There is nothing cowardly about suicide. Doesnt make it the best option or really an option at all, but the point being is, that suicide is not cowardly or easy. Ok back to the post.
  
  The last thing you want to do is suicide. Mainly because it IS the end. You have a driving force in you, motivation, that wants you to change. Satisfy that motivation and change!
  
  Write a step by step plan of what you need to be happy and have/do what you want, and do it! the biggest issue with people wanting change, is actually changing.
  
  We are all here for you, and all have eyes and ears ready to listen

• How exactly do you know your insane?
  

  The only problem with listening to someone else’s advice on insanity, Is what if they are insane themselves?
  
  Then you have an insane person judging the sanity of perhaps a sane person.

• Why does God reward People who are mean and dishonest
  

  I think we get so wrapped up in blaming someone else for our own misfortunes, We lose the ability to cope and move on.
  
  When every little bad thing that happens in our life is blamed and put on “God’s” fault, Then we slowly become irresponsible humans. Not to mention when we put complete faith into something we can’t see, We beging to stop looking out for our own backs and say things like “I pray” or “God is watching me”. Which in return allows bad things to happen to us.
  
  Granted somethings are out of our hands, Like deaths. But alot of other things aren’t. Like Jobs, Health (Granted somethings like cancer you can’t control, but going to treatments and what not instead of prayig, Help.), and wealth.
  
  And I’m no Bible Scholar Dmercha, But I’m pretty sure somewhere in there it says something about your level of rewards in Heaven based on your actions on Earth. So where as if you pray and ask for forgiveness within your dying moments, But lead a Life of “sin”, Then you will get little to no rewards, The only thing you will get is being saved from a burning pit of fire, and a Demon with horns and a tail violating you. In comparison , if you lead a life of good deads, then you willl be rewarded with mansions, Crowns to cast at Jesus’ feet, Praise , Eternal life beside your maker, Maybe the ability to help your loved ones still on Earth, Etc, Etc, Etc.
  
  Free Will is tricky…. To ourselves we have Free Will. You can do whatever you want. Just because someone knows what you are going to do, Doesn’t take away your free will. What you do is completely your choice, And just because “God” knows what is going to happen next, Doesn’t mean it’s not your choice. “God” doesn’t react based on the future, Obviously, So there fore your free will and choices, Are indeed that.
  
  “There is no excuse that God does not intevene”. Yes there is, You’re giving human qualities to a “God”. If we had the power to foresee the future we would attempt to alter it for the better. But because we have free will, “God” doesn’t do this. “God” lets us make our own deciscions and decide our own fate. And Death, has nothing to do with “God”. Even if you don’t believe in “God”, You still know you’ll die. Just because we know where the road ends, Doesn’t mean we all get there the same, making the same choices.
  
  And you could say Death is the cashing in of the chips, Or the cashing in of your check at the end of a hard works week at the job. So why not work hard and rejoice once the work is done.
  
  I am in no way religious, But I do think I have free will, I can do whatever I want, whenever, However. Just because I know Ill die, Doesn’t mean I can’t do those things.

• An Egocentric and yet Selfless babbling of idea… Heres my idea of love, Tell me and share with me your ideas of love.
  

  Thank you so much for taking the time to write that down. I really enjoyed readying your thoughts and ideas on such a confusing and mysterious topic.
  
  And I agree completely , Love is contradictory. Its amazing how such a simply thing can be so crazy, And unexpected, And yet….Simple and expected. It really is perhaps the single most interesting thing in this universe.
  
  I find it really interesting as well, That you , self proclaimed, have never experienced love, and yet know so much about it already. Another odd wonder of the feeling I suppose.
  
  Please keep the ideas coming =D
