Why keep living, what's the use?

Life is a beautiful place. The surrounding skies and nature show us how much beauty really lies within the world we live in. Our family, friends, and the love we have for one another keeps us going from day to day. Seeing relationships improve and our kids grow is reason enough to keep that drive for wanting to continue onward. I've been asked before, "Why should I go on living?" I then ask the question, "Can you tell me one good thing about your life?" The answer has always been yes... And another question gets asked... "Isn't that reason enough to live?"

I know right? I wonder so often... But after wondering for many years I think I get it. We keep on living because we don't want to let go of the chances we were given. You have the opportunity to find love, friendship and happiness and whether you manage or not, you still do have the opportunity. It would be such a shame to throw all that away. Most people who choose to die suffer from mental illness and are in need of help. It is not your fault, there is nothing you can do about it but stay strong and look for help wherever you can get it.

Keep living for yourself! Many people will tell you to think of your family and friends but you are the most important! Your struggles and hardships are sacrifices that you make, and you should be using them to improve your life. There are a million answers to the the question the meaning of life, all you have to do is find the answer that you fits you, whether that's family or friends, a hobby, a career, anything at all. It's out there waiting for you! Take each day as it comes and work up one small step each time. Try new exercises, new games, open a new book! Rome wasn't built in a day and you are just as great and complex as it, so it will take time. You can do it, and you should do it for yourself!

Because we only live once! you get one shot in this universe and you're willing to blow it? life can be a cruel b*** sometimes, but if you know how to look at it and where to place yourself... the most beautiful, magical, wondrous things will happen to you.. we keep living because we want to see that one moment that says "it was all worth it! and i would do it 100 times over"

well life has alot of potential into it, dont take your life at all because it will put hurt on others -- ive lost few people and death is scary and death is sad... if you ever feel this way talk to someone close to you or a suicide hotline we will stand by your side be positive and overcome this - we love and care for you.

We should live for all those around us. We should live for ourselves and living out lives to the fullest. We should not end it short. Living to make others happy may make you feel good on the inside, making you happy. There's a light at the end of the tunnel.

The problem is you haven't found purpose yet, nobody is purposeless its that they simply haven't found why they need to keep waking up. the purpose for those people is to find the purpose, in times like those, life seems meaningless, but its not, you just need to search hard for it

You can change who you are. Dont let people make you feel worthless. You are special and i love everyone so why cant the rest mwa

Because there's always a reason for me to keep fighting to be better and be part of the change. When I ran of reason to keep living I look inside and always found the reason and strength to go on. I am weird, imperfect and broken but I am also my own biggest cheerleader.

Life will give you a lot of experiences - good and bad. These experiences will challenge and sometimes break us. Nobody can protect from that. You have to believe in yourself. Your life is a journey and after a while you discover the reason why you are on earth.

There would probably be a lot of answers to this (and my answer is subjective and many answers will be) but Friedrich Nietzsche once summed up that: "Life can be meaningful enough to justify it's suffering" And the idea behind this is that all of the tragedy in your life can be justified with the meaning you can find in your life.

To grow as a human being and understand what you are feeling so even if you never fully overcome it, you can take away a little pain and help others.

You must keep living because people care and worry and think about you constantly without you even knowing and you may not feel like it’s true but it is

your life matters. Every single person has a purpose on this Earth. Your spirit and presence does matter to someone, even if you do not see it directly. Every choice you make will affect someone else's life. People love you even if you can't see it.

Some say that the reasons humans are alive is to become happy. Once they are happy, they never thing about life or death anymore. So, probably, life is a continuous work towards becoming better and happier persons.

All of us need to keep living cause we never know what positive things may happen tomorrow.We are here,a part of this world,so that we can help others and ourselves to have beautiful experiences here in our lives.Set an aim for your life and keep fighting to reach your goal.You sound like you are going through a rough time but don't worry,rough roads always lead to beautiful destinations.And I know that life can't be perfect but it is very beautiful once you start enjoying it.Life is tough dear but so are you!Keep fighting and take care of yourself.

what if someone else were to ask you the same ? would you tell them it's a waste and maybe further help them by just murdering them ? No, right ? I'm sure you will begin thinking the same i am thinking because you asked me this. What i believe is you have a reason and a purpose, you would never know unless you just Live! Maybe you go walking down the street and you happen to save a persons life that was gonna just walk on a street and get hit. That could be your purpose - to save anothers life. Maybe you need to make a movie that could change the thoughts of your entire country and bring back 'Love' in the homes that lack love. Maybe you are inspired to do works of charity. THere is so much and so much more that needs to be done. It is only when we make our world small to the lives of just ourselves that we end up thinking, why do we keep living.

I don't know how many times I have asked myself this. At different times in the day, night, it didn't matter, this question constantly crept in. But I began to realize that my experience, and my life, could give life to others. If I could share my experiences, and my knowledge, then maybe that will make at least one other person realize that they are useful, and need to keep living.

Statistically speaking you have a point. Dying has a better outcome than living when we keep the odds of hardships and a certainty of a favourable end. But according to statistics we should have met aliens by now. Why die? What's the point? Whats the need to go into non-existence? By living you atleast have a life, by dying there might be nothing or eternal hell as per your belief.

People often ask that question when they cannot seem to find any purpose or meaning in life. Well, that happens because there isn't any pre defined meaning or purpose of life. Life is a blank canvas, there is nothing to be found there, everything that you want has to be created. That's what they mean when they say, "Find what you love and let it kill you" - you have to find the thing that matter to you and give your life working towards achieving it. The better you get at it, happier you will be and so will be the people around you. People usually come up with a counter-argument, "Nothing really maters and everything is meaningless". Well, the pain that you're feeling, obviously matters because it is forcing you to give up on life, the pain that you're feeling is there for a reason and it does have a meaning. And if you really think about why you're feeling the pain, you somehow already know why it is there and what is causing it. All you have to do is get up and eliminate that reason. Now, the main trouble with that would be that you have to go out of your comfort zone to do that and people don't like being vulnerable. But everything comes at a price, you have to sacrifice something in order to achieve something(be that your comfort zone). But in the pursuit of achieving something you have to know yourself, know what you're good at. As Einstein said, "you cannot judge a fish for its ability to climb a tree" - so know what you're good at(self awareness is a key element for self development), if you're good as a fish(metaphorical example) stop comparing yourself to the Horse. And as long as you know that YOU CAN BE A SHARK AND NO ONE CAN STOP YOU FROM DOING THAT!

This is something the most valuable we can ever get, losing it is something the worst. No matter what is always better to choose living.

Why not? Living this life is a gift. We get to explore everything with every breath, with every opportunities given to us every single day.

Well, this is honestly an easy and hard question. Its easy because there is always gonna be a brighter horizon eventually if you just keep looking forward and hoping. Its hard to answer because for everyone there is a different reason to live, but there is a reason to live. Some people just haven't found it yet, but when they do, they will be glad they lived, because that thing will be simply amazing, and will mean the whole world to them.

For any problems you may encounter in life, there is always a solution. Suicide is a permanent decision to a temporary problem. It will get better.

Well that's a question that has a different response depending on each one of our different contexts. As a general reason i would guess not commiting suicide avoids family members from suffering, but i know that some people don't have the normal family bonds, so maybe that wouldn't be enough of a reason. If that's the case then I'd suggest you'd look for something you'd like to do, that's realistic, a plan if you will, and try to complete it, live for your own reasons.

There is just still so much good and beauty left in our world to find, see, feel and live, even amidst the Chaos. For with Chaos comes Order.

Living life to your extent of potential is a nourishing thing experience, always live life to the fullest.

There are many times in our life that we may sit and question our existence. It's a question that I've heard many times. " What is the use of living ? I have nothing to live for." That's 100% wrong. You have so many things to live for. There are so many things that we can do but we don't work to our full potential to get to those huge goals in life. Don't you want to make yourself proud? Work hard to accomplish the goals that you've always worked so hard for. Find your passion. There are so many great things that we can do to make ourselves feel wonderful. Why do you think that there are so many artists, singers, painters, photographers and so many other amazing people out there? They took advantage of that gray area in their life and put into the form of art in some type of way. Do what makes you happy. There are so many people that love and care for you. Think of it. If your younger you saw the way you are now? Would they be proud of the person that you have become? If your answer is "no", go out there and make a difference in your life. Once you do, you'll find your purpose and thank yourself for it.

I know that some times, if not most of the time we don't see a reason for being here anymore. I have felt that way for a while but I have found that just the thought of never being here to the snow fall or stars in the sky and all the weird and crazy things about the people i know that i would really miss. I can't tell you your reasons to keep living because i don't know you but I can promise that if you at least try even if it is the smallest reason you need to keep fighting

There are so many good things in the world to live for. I couldn't possibly name them all, but here are a few examples: puppies (if you're not allergic), good food, friends who make you laugh and smile, and good books. The world is filled with good things, and sometimes it can give us the short end of the stick. But the sun must set to rise, and if you continue to see the good things in the world, then you will keep positive feelings in and negative ones out.
