Do we just exist to suffer?

[Psychonaut]

It all just keeps going downhill. Maybe we only exist here as punishment and when it's all over the pain finally stops. I hope there's something more and better after this life.

stop thinking in terms of "more and better"... you set yourself up for disappointment... Death = Change, or new beginnings... it's a cycle, and yes it involves Growing Pains... your energy cannot be destroyed, but transformed...:-)

Snap out of your depression I say. Get out there and work on improving your own and your families lot in life. Being down and losing faith only leads to a downwards spiral. You and only you have control of your own life and how you process through it.

Be strong brother....

"why are we still here? just to suffer?"

life never ends. if there is no afterlife you will be born again eventually

Sounds like you need to read some philosophy. People were having the thoughts you're having before we were even keeping what year it was. Reading the most important literature of human history helps you to not feel so alone in this thinking- we all suffer in our own way. If we didn't, we'd have no metric for what happiness is.

No...

You can stack probability to either be happiness or sadness. It's your path in life and mindset about what you have.

However, I do believe in karma and that hell is the place on Earth in which he set ourselves to dwell within temporary. We judge ourselves the worst and casts ourselves into a hell within our head. That is however temporary to try overcome and learn from those mistakes.

and that is just so pure...

Don't fear the darkness, but rather seek the light within it. There will find the flip side of the coin and no longer take it for granted.

The boomers made America into the bad place it is today.

It may be.

There's no such thing as a painless life, but a life without joy is a fate worse than death.

"Everything" goes downhill here because downhill is all human civilization can do.

Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to get away from civilization these days, because people want to travel take selfies and toss their lunch trash everywhere in the world that they can. And tourism industries want to sell them the hotel room they sleep in use as their garbage staging ground.


At this point, my strategy is just to leave the screeching monkeys alone and focus on doing what they *should* be doing, which is bringing us even with the actual Chief ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥(s) or vice versa, more realistically

I've found that my entire life has just been one giant unfurling lesson. There is always something else for me to learn and while I've gained a great deal thus far I'm still so very far from being fully enlightened. I may not see such thing in this lifetime.

Suffering has been a part of my journey, an important part, core to my being, and I can honestly say I would not be the person I am without it. And I love who i am. I appreciate that I've been able to turn around the sins of the past into something beautiful.

Not really. "Life is what you make of it."
