Is life worth living?

That's a stupid question, you may say. But think again. A lot of people are suffering: suffering so much that they wish that they would just die. The sight of your love ones dying, or your fellow begging in the street, or say, yourself taking all the pain from a disease since birth, is sapping all the hope that might be flaming in our hearts to continue to survive. you might also be at the same point in your life when you look around and suddenly you don't know where to go. We'll you are not alone; you are just one of the billions lost in this world, traveling with no direction. asking question not knowing if there are definite answers. Is this really life? why are there so many hardships? what's the point of living? Let's face it. we don't always get what we want. But that's the beauty of it. Life is a concept that's free flowing, something that no one can define the limitations. we have so much freedom to opt how to use it. so much freedom to unravel what this has to offer. And with it comes a bunch of problems, a bunch of suffering. Holding tightly to that hope that someday, everything will be alright can make a difference. So, is your life worth it?

Not by itself. But you can't make anything worth anything unless you're alive!

Life is about experience. Yes people have diseases but if we weren't introduced to them we wouldn't become familiar with the different types of diseases and illnesses and a cure wouldn't be discovered. Yes there's negative aspects of life but the positive definitely over shadows the negative. You make your life what it is. Your actions have a great impact on what your life becomes. You can choose to live a sad life or you can choose to live happily. There's no such thing as a life without stress or sorrow, but it's up to you to turn it around for the better.

I don't think that anything is so bad in life that it cannot be solved. However, the majority of people always look to other people to try and make their life worth living, when they should be thinking about what they could do for themselves. Many people would look at others in the news and think that they wished that they could have lives like them, but then they don't do anything to try and make that dream a reality. Personally, whenever I am trying to wish I had something, I make a plan of steps to make that dream real, and I don't give up until I have what I wanted. Life is worth living if you make it so.
