Do you think life is meaningless?

Hello lotters, Is'nt it all the same things that are happening everyday like a routine? work takes up most of the time in our daily life ( unless you are financially independent), the commute to work and the same traffic jams you will experience if you are working in the city, different but same type of crappy food for lunch, getting scolded by boss and going home after the sun has set. What you guys think?

No I never agree with u.Because getting birth is a golden oppurtunity. In the world noone can understand to others except human.(I mean human being can exhibit his feelings & can receive the feelings from others.)So what I want to say you means plz think positively and be happy.As concerned your matter "it is said that you are feeling bore by routine work.If you get bore plz try to know something and try to become a scientist like as Abdul Kalam.Whether u understand or not plz be like a optimist and go towards golden future.

Life is meaningless if you let it get meaningless. It is in your hands to make it as meaningul as you want. you say '...getting scolded by boss.." Why should you get scolded by boss? if yu are doing your work properly, there is no reason. Why crappy food? Eat well. have good and delicious food. Chalk out a proper menu for each day and include vareity to suit your pallette. Read some thing. talk to people, go shopping, socialise and meet new people, go out on a holiday. Make life more meaningful and don't let it drift.

If I were you I would not want to think that life is meaningless just because we do the same thing like it is a routine everyday. Actually to me we are what we do. We have the power to change our own lives. We can make the decision ourselves. We can plan what we want to do for today and we can change the routine into something more interesting. This needs some creativity from your side, and with the help of some friends you can make this to happen. Tell your friends that you are bored doing the same thing all over again, and I believe they are bored too. Maybe you can divide the jobs and each one of you take charge of one chore. In this way the responsibility you are now carrying can start a spark of excitement in your life, because you will start to realize that your life has a meaning again.

yes there are same things going on in life but it is how life is. we are the one who can bring changes to life and we are the one who can make life as the same routine. i know there are few things in life which makes us happy and few things which will not make us happy and instead they can give only worries but both are for us and done by us and hence we just cant escape. there are ups and downs in life but sometimes taking a break out of all jobs and spending the time like hw we want to really helps and forget our worries and tensions, why not take a change and then come back to same busy life. just to refresh ourself we have to just take a break and other than this we dont have any choice.

i think it depends on how you view life and what is your perspective. if you think that you are no longer important and can't make any difference with your life then life for you will definitely be meaningless. but it you view it positively, then you'll get all the strength to continue life's challenges and to fight for what you know is right.

I believe that we all have a meaning or purpose for being alive! God Bless!

You sound as though you are stuck in the 'rut' and that you feel that you are just getting up, going to work, coming home, getting up, going to work, coming home, day after day, after day. Have you thought about a holiday? Have you things to look forward to? We need thinge we enjoy doing to help balance out the things we hate doing, otherwise we will get to the point where we think why are we alive? Are we born just to work and make other people happy? It's all too common thing to get stuck into. We have to make the best of life and sadly we only get once chance. Try if you can to change your schedule add a bit of spice to your life, when your life is stale it's time to make changes. Be strong!
