Meaningless life !!!

Lets hope for the best. Merry Christmas and happy new year...

krajibg, I must say, I do have commitments in my life. It's not just hectic life that has made me think like this. People who know me personally, they wouldn't have imagined even in their dreams that, I can be so much worried about my life. People look at me as one of the happiest person, often I used to get comments from my friends, you've nothing to worry and you don't take tension. What you have described, even my brain thinks like that and my body does it all the time. I am successful (in general, the way people think) and I have achieved something that I dreamed 10 years back but the problem is, I achieved these things at the cost of my "happiness". It's very complex situation and if I've to explain it to you, I would say, think of someone who is suffering from cold and cough, doctor suggests him a tonic, obviously, the patient will take the dose of this tonic so that he can get relief. In my case, I was the doctor as well as the patient and the tonic that I suggested to myself, was expired, as a side effect of that I've lost the "Happiness" of my life. Thanks for your response, krajibg. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!

Hi, Really interesting discusion. I agree with krajibg, life sometimes feels meaningless when we are not committed to anything particular. I think, we should set up new goal when we have achieved one. It is wonderful if we have a dream in our heart. We can feel times flying, we are busy but happy. That's my experience. Dear dollar3235, Please forgive me, i think you are a wise but unhappy man. I can't understand your word"I achieved these things at the cost of my happiness", you mean you spend too much time on work so less time for family? Anyway, i hope you can be happy everyday!

We have to find the real, true God not some nonsense contrived by superstitious ignorant people. That will make all the difference. Do you really want to find Him?

Very good suggestion! I dont think anyone who has volunteered will ever feel life is meaningless but yes they may feel a bit sad from the experience. But charity work is the best satisfaction giving work. Making money by working hard has hardly ever satisfied people. Nor are they happy with the work nor do they ever feel they have earned enough ever. And finally everything starts feeling meaningless.

"Burgandy0083", I've no words for your situation. All that comes to my mind, if I have to be "God", will I do it, even to my enemies? That's why I loose my faith, if "God" exists in this world, why does he take away the most precious thing of our life and leaves us here with no motive to live and this world expects us to be happy? In your case, you would have certainly helped him, you would have tried to maximum extent possible and whatever has happened, you can say it was destiny. I know "Pain" will be there, no matter what you do, no money or anything else can be compared with even 1 second that you spend with your loved one. Last year, I got a chance to be in hospital with one of my friend's dad. He was admitted in Hospital for heart surgery. It was a critical case, my friend's family members were very very nervous, I feel much more lucky to be able to help them in that situation. I was in hospital for 6-7 days for 24 hours, I tried my best to help him in that situation just like his own son, whether it was arranging blood or helping him to take bath just after a few days of operation with all the stitches on his body, I did everything. Luckily now the operation was successful and he has recovered very well. I would say, Yes, it was a satisfactory experience. Still I would say, when you realize that "happiness" is not your cup of tea, that certainly affects your life. Thanks a lot for replying "Burgandy0083" and "greet123". Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Thanks for the reply, zenkey23. It's good that you have faith and strong determination and that's what helps you in managing yourself in such tough situations. However, in my case, I've lost the faith and determination is obviously not strong. That's why sometimes it's very tough, still I manage myself most of the times.

OMG Wish you Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!

You know you can start feeling better right away if you want. :) Merry christmas and happy holidays! :)

Ah.... those words "useless state" describe my situation to some extent. After typing a few comments in this discussion, I am feeling bad about myself, it could be due to the fact that, it is the first time I am trying to discuss my problem....it could also be possible that this discussion will help me to tackle this problem in future. In one line if I have to explain my problem, I am unable to try the "hit and trial" method. I think by knowing more about myself and I will be able to get a solution to this problem. Thanks for your response, frontvisions101. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!!

Very true, I am really feeling much better (at least temporarily). Just now I replied to one of the discussions started by vonmac, it was very funny.

I'm definitely a believer of "Live life to the fullest; you live only once" Have a safe and happy holiday season

Masihi, I appreciate your meaningful suggestions. I've read your response 8-10 times so that I can reply. In my life, I don't care what others (most of them) have to think of me. A few people whom I care, they think that I am correct and doing every thing perfectly. As far as self awareness is concerned, I think yesterday when I was thinking about my problems, I felt, I've not discussed it with anyone, it's been within for more than 10 years now, I thought myLot will be the perfect place to discuss it and now I feel I was right. By writing these comments in this discussion, I am trying to portray the demons of my own. All of you who have replied to this discussion, are certainly helping me to face the demons of my life. Thanks a lot for your response, Masihi. As per your suggestions, I am trying to be more self-aware and face the demons of my life. Wish you a Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!!!
