@@YT-dq9wx How about you just keep on living in happily ever after world and leave other people out of it. After all, some of us don’t need to hear those fairytales to help us sleep at night.
No amount of money, sex, cars, homes etc.. will make someone happy. I remember staying in a luxury hotel for work. As l lay in bed, I realized, this is just an empty building with decorations. Everything is just an illusion. I felt so empty, even my position at work is meaningless.
The only good about money is - financial independence. You can buy small house, nothing fancy, some car to get groceries, maybe private shooting range, small home gym, eating good food, taking doggo on the walk AND NOT STRESS ABOUT HAVING NO MONEY!
@@HM-jl8pr yeah I agree no one should be forced to live if they don't want to. Especially since I don't believe life is meant for everyone. I truly don't.
Likewise. Life wouldn't suck so much if we could all just chill have fun all the time and when it's time, it's time. The system failed us. The world failed us.
@@jesusisdead Yeah it sucks. We are told since school to focus on school/career and the rest will come. It’s just a lie. If you don’t build up good social connections before you’re done with college, you’re pretty much bound to be lonely.
@@Hellcat-to3yh Thats what happened to me. I thought women would be better too. All the women I knew just wanted in your pants and had x husband's. All I have is a gigantic empty house. I moved all over the country and I left the Church because I find it to be heretical. I think the Church is full of great people but the money and the fact that the gospel is almost never preached is quite scary. We just read the old testament it seems. I live in Sarasota too. Old people. But now the New Yorkers are blowing this place up its worse. To escape I got addicted to porn thinking it was better than the alternative which technically it was but I was unaware it was messing with my brain. 43 year old virgin with zip.

Exacto, el pensamiento positivo siempre se basa en el autoengaño, llevo muchos años intentando cambiar mi mente con filosofía optimista... al final siempre terminan reconociendo que prefieren ser felices que tener razón. Hablan de agradecer.... qué tengo que agradecer exactamente? Los dolores crónicos que tengo por culpa de unos medicamentos que destrozaron mi salud por una enfermedad que calculo que se inventaron?
To me the only meaning to life is to just try to do what you enjoy, find something you love doing and you might be happy, but thats just your meaning of life, objectively it is meaningless, fuck it, as bill hicks says, "its just a ride"
@@BigSavageG well at least with reincarnation you dont remember you have existed before. That is why it is best to try to live a life that you try to do what Is right and definitely dont kill yourself because if we do come back it will be way worse then what your in right now
This is why sometimes being smart is a curse, too much knowing stuff makes us unhappy, because we already see the big picture of everything, so there's nothing to pursue any more
you're not smart bro you're just lonely and nihilistic. if u were smart you'd realize that nihilism is the root of your unhappiness and you'd do something about it. instead you gave up, so you deserve the situation you're in, honestly.
I feel the same as you. Life is mostly suffering for majority of the people in this world. We work and grind till 60 and retire and when the time comes for enjoying what little we saved , we get diagnosed with some shit cause we're old. I sometimes feel that giving birth to someone is actually a cruel act. Knowing what I am going through, I would never do that.
Perfectly said. I don’t know how I would feel either bringing another human being into this world that I’m trying to escape. Just imagine all the pain and suffering they have to go through because they didn’t have a choice but to be born like us.
No, it doesn’t, but there’s some kind of strange beauty in it when you look back. Hopefully one day it all will make sense everything that’s happened to me, but who knows?
hi hon, im learning in my psychology courses at college from a wise professor that changed my life that besides the “viscious cycle”, we often forget that there is such thing as the “virtuous cycle.” it’s about doing good for others that in turn make yourself feel good. it’s actually amazing how easy and simple it is- participating in volunteer work like food drives, helping homeless, animals if you like, anything charity related. i think you should try it. it’s an opportunity for you to meet people, and then write about how you feel after when you come home!

I will NEVER understand how parents decide to bring someone to this stressful and LOOONG life (stop pretending life is short). Non existence is a perfect utopia, no work, no pain, no pity, absolutely no suffering. Like when they say "you will have to deal with the real world" or "that is how life works", if life is so terrible then why tf you bring someone to it
You are lying. Majority people are not happy to be born especially the poor people. Do u know that in this shit hole, the poor people population are higher than the wealthy. Happy is just delusion. Even many wealthy people are not happy to be born because life is pointless, meaningless. Every day is the same, deja vu, monotonous activities. People who bring someone into this planet are truly selfish. They wanna their children to experience the same suffering like they have in life. So pathetic.

“I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world...every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head...all the time. Can you understand? ...” - The Green Mile
I'm from Indonesia, and my parents used to come from a middle-to-upper class financially, but now quite struggling and according to my father, now we've become middle-to-lower class family. But still, I admit that my life is still quite privileged when compared to many people here in my country. To be honest, I'd say that money does help a lot in this world, I won't deny it. But then again, anything could happen in life, including any type of bad things or situations. I've been severely depressed for a long time, and now it just keeps getting worse. And then there is chronic pain/disease/illness, which my youngest brother currently have since 2017, which causing a lot of stress, anxiety, & depression to my family & parents now. So I think people are naive & ignorant when they always keep saying that "Money is everything; Money will buy you happiness." As I've explained above, yes, money is important in this world/society we're living in, but just because people have money, doesn't mean their life will be okay. I'm the proof.
we’re born to go through all these hard moments just to meet the hardest moment of all which is death. i’m only 19 and sadly i’ve been coming to the realization of how meaningless life is. the death of my father recently really was the last straw. life is so fucked up and it’s not fair at all and we’re all gonna die anyways. i cant stand this shit bro, literally nothing fucking matters
@@beereaucrat3233 Yep. It doesn't get better. Except by this age you can't help but notice the breaking down of your own body which comes with a whole new set of miseries.
"Death gotta be easy, 'cause life is hard. It'll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred". - 50 Cent. Brother I feel you, and it's always been this way... Just this time the slaves don't see the shackles or care; hell, they revel in their own demise and suffering believing in religion, propaganda, advertising, politics... Meet the new boss, same as the old boss; they love their master. I'd wish you peace, but folks like us will never find it... I'm 56 and it only becomes more smothering.
I'm a university graduate with a degree that was so damm hard to achieve and in the end of the day I work as an ordinary wage slave forever doomed to be a part of rat race.. All the stress and mental energy I had to put into my studies was a waste of time and a waste of life... Your friends and parents applaud you only when you achieve something "high" in your life but as soon as you get stuck or regress in life, you become a piece of miserable shit in their eyes. And this is the level I'm on currently and probably forever. Im a hard working person but I dont have ambitions anymore to reach it somewhere higher because I know it just ends with death in the end of the day.. As someone wise once said: "do only what is necessary to enjoy your existence, anything more would be stupid."
This is why God is my life. God will bring you peace, He gave His Son so that you could live forever in peace with Him. There is so much love for you to experience :)
@@jett2451 I was once a christian too for many years. But after an immense research of bible from scholar and scientific perspective I came up with a clear conclusion that Jesus is not God. There are so many contradictions in bible that even the best bible apologists avoid to explain. The meaning of your message is clear - become religous like me and that will give you some hope.. No thanks, I've already been through this phase. My fundamental and sincere love for bible and Jesus caused me to fall into delusion and now I have a PTSD. Im gonna stick to the harsh truth, that is the facts proven by science rather then make myself believe in fairytailes again.
@@joepipkin101 this comment truly strikes fear in my heart, as i share many of the same views as you, however, i am young WITH ambition. so i cant help but think, will this ambition whither away over the years? and for what reason? all because im going to die? if anything i feel like i already know of this fact, yet my ambition still turns and my drive keeps me going. so for you it has to be more than just "im going to end with death, why even aim to do anything more than what i must?", you must've lost some sort of value along the way.
@@joepipkin101 i used to be a hardcore "science explains everything" type of guy until i learned about secret societies studying occult (hidden) ancient knowledge.. there is so much more to this world then materialism which is being pushed by the capitalist system that wants us to think everything is random and meaningless.
@@1x0x yes you are right but this aspect does not contradict the evolutionary reality of this world.. You dont have to be a scientist to be able to test the age and shape of the earth for example. Observing phenomenons like annual rings, the growth of coral reefs, cave stalactites, Eratosthenes's stick experiment, the existence of stick and leave bugs, vestigial organs, Grand Canyon geological column, etc. provide a clear and easy evidence for evolution by natural selection.. You are doing a mistake I ended up doing a half year ago, that is mingling the science and politics together.. You are right, politics lie, there is a struggle for power, many operations are kept hidden from the public eye, censorship etc. but does that equate all scientists are satanic liars? Think about it.. Oh and the earth is not flat indeed, FErs are a bunch of independent "researchers" whose claims are not synchronized at all. I used to be a big flat head myself but after watching several scientific videos by Professor Dave and Aron Ra I already realized how deluded and naive person I was. My advice - be skeptical, do not fall easily for conspiracy theories, neither for propaganda, research everything before your brain accepts that thing based on your emotions and fascination only instead instead of rational discretion and critical thinking.
Then accept the struggle to survive as the essential meaning. Hey presto. You've taken your first step. Understand yourself as being Alive, and understanding what life is, accept yourself as part of an unbroken chain from the very first living organism, an organism that has developed itself and adapted against a hostile Universe in a Titanic and courageous display against Entropy itself. Learn to see everyone around you as part of that timeless and magnificent struggle, and then take the next step and go deeper into that struggle and think about the Faith and the force inside us that keeps driving us ever onwards to disprove the Law of Thermodynamics and survive against all the odds. Realise that you are part of something truly incredible and truly miraculous.
Most persons,cannot rationalize this such as myself,you are one,of the few who does. life is just a death sentence of pointless suffering I want to live a reclusive lifestyle,on my own terms whereas I will go outdoors occasionally,but mostly away,from the general population as world societies,us humans live robotic lives,without even consciously knowing it.
Completely agree. This world could be such a nice place, if not for all the narcissists exploiting everyone and forcing us to exploit each other or turn the other cheek to the abuse just to get by.

You have to feel meaning for life. You don't think that life is meaningless when you are happy, doing what you enjoy, hobbies, socializing, so those things might be the meaning.
I agree man, sometimes I feel the only thing society sees people as is a number or a tool, they always stress productivity and your value is basically how productive you are. "busy" is the new norm and if you aren't slaving away at a given moment all the sudden you're lazy or you "could be doing better." Our lives are controlled, we have to do what society wants us to or else we'll starve and face the physical suffering that our bodies cruelly inflict on us. You're right, it's not a choice to be born into this complicated mess of modern world. We aren't allowed time to sit back and enjoy life with clear free minds, we aren't allowed that by the fast and busy world. Sorry for the rant, It's just that I feel your frustration, we'll die in the end, and instead of being able to enjoy this short existence, we're doomed to spend most of it constantly fighting to live.
It’s crazy isn’t it. I can’t believe the world doesn’t see this as a problem. Instead, they give you typical advice to seek this, seek that. That isn’t going to solve anything. We never signed up for any of this. One of my the best comments I’ve gotten in a long time. Pinned.
Tbh the most we can do is try something else. Going to a new place, getting a different job or just working for yourself. Success doesn't always look the same for everyone
dont fall into this nihilistic mindset, you only get one life and if you decide to live it thinking like this, you are wasting a gift that was given to you. remember, your thoughts define your mood
Yep. Your worth is measured based on job title & earnings. If you don't have a respectable career, people will side-eye you, same if you don't work. I also tend to notice that if you have a degree and work in minimum wage jobs (as that is all you can get), people will say: "why didn't you get a better career?" Either that or people (especially family and employers) will tell you that you should know what you want out of life when ½ the time you don't. Sometimes I wish time would freeze or slow down, everytime I go to work I see how fast everything around me is - people constantly rushing to get in the trains, to get to their concrete buildings for 8+ hours a day. I can't take it anymore.
I hate that people think it’s bad to be suicidal, some people were not prepared to live the life this world has to offer. If you don’t want to live you shouldn’t have to. I hope if I ever try to end my life my family and loved ones will understand that.

“Bearing children is like carrying wood into a burning house” - Arthur Chopenhauer. This quote brings me some peace knowing I won’t bring new life into this world. I feel the same way about this excistance as you do, and so do many around the globe. Honestly I think this is a sign of the times aswell since not a lot of people are religious anymore and people no longer want to put up with pointless suffering for some kind of reward or paradise at the end. I try to keep positive since I start to feel drained of energy if I remain in this state for too long but damn this was yet another one of those days where I just don’t wanna do this anymore. Life is starting to feel like a prisonsentence to me. I would love to spend some time in nature, in solace, see if this would change my mindset and view of life. My employer would never agree to this and I can’t live of the land where I live. Hopefully we and everyone watching this rant will figure it out someday. And if not in the end all will be worthless anyway so it don’t matter if we fuck up.
Exactly how I feel. Like I always think about how we are supposed to grow old enough to see our parents die, go through so much suffering, having to be “successful” which is basically what you explained, and then die to be completely forgotten about in 100 years
@@AnandarupMajumdar maybe less time than that. I sometimes hear talk of leaving a legacy, and I'm thinking well who exactly are you leaving a "legacy" for? Because we all die one day which means even this so called legacy is meaningless.

Like all nihilism, it's just routed in solipsism. Your fragile ego can't take that you aren't the main character in the game. It's just childishness, a symptom of stunted development and a lack of maturity. Accept your place as just a small, but important droplet in a huge river that has been flowing since the beginning of time. A torch bearer whose job is to simply carry the torch and pass it on, while adding just a little something, however small, to the collective.
Greed drives most people they spend every waking moment trying to take from others because they feel like others owe it to them for simply existing. I've never felt this greed drive others do and mainly isolate myself from others because I find that their greed is so disgusting.
Reading this could change your whole life and eternity The point of life is to get to know Jesus and get others to know Jesus. Life is temporary but after life is eternity, everybody goes to heaven or hell. Life here on earth does not compare at all to how long eternity is, life is short and temporary and we should be focusing on eternity (heaven or hell). Romans 10:9-11 - If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we declare with our mouths that we believe, and so we are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed." Everything here on earth is temporary but your relationship with Jesus Christ is eternal as our souls live forever and Jesus is eternal. Jesus is the Beginning and the End. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus did not die on the cross to start a religion, He died and rose again to have a relationship with you. The wages of sin is death and Jesus took our punishment that we deserved on Himself. Sin hinders your relationship with Jesus so that's why when Jesus died on the cross and rose again He forgave all our sins and all we have to do is ask and receive His forgiveness. We are not saved because we are good. (Mark 10:18 And Jesus said to him , "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.) We are only saved because of Gods love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. And when you are saved you start to have a desire to become more like Jesus and live a righteous lifestyle. Jesus loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you. Repent of your sins and turn to Him and please don't wait until it's too late. Any of us could slip into eternity at any moment and it's much much better to be confident you're going to heaven than to hope so. give your life to Christ and remember Jesus loves you and He is always listening and there for you ❤
Yup that’s why I smoke pot all day everyday. It keeps me sane in this insane life. Life was interesting for me all the way up until now. I’m in my younger 30’s and have come to this realization. When you’re young there are many things to look forward to like getting the toy/game your friends had, getting your first car, graduating high school, figuring out your career, getting into your first serious relationship, home ownership,... Now that I have gone through the motions and experienced all that I feel this staleness in life. I have really been checking my ego lately and all that materialistic BS most folks chase just seems like a waste of time. Even when I do indulge in that silly stuff it looses appeal fast.
I have been suffering from atopic dermatitis for years. There is no way out, just have to wait it out until my days are over. A courtesy of my parents (they had it too).
@@verbalassassin90 Let's just try to not give a flying fuck what conforming dumbasses and society thinks and just try to relax and enjoy whatever we can. You've got this, friend. Shit is terrible and all we can is find inner peace within us as cliché as it seems. We're here for more than to just conform to societal bullshit statutes.
Life is just about how to get high, sustainably. Solving problems, playing with your kids, reading a book, making love, having a couple of beers with friends, praying, whatever your actions, it's always about getting high.
Also, when friends want to hang out , it’s usually centered around, food, alcohol, shopping, gossip and even drugs sometimes. I agree, life is meaningless.
@@JohnJohn-vv4ns It’s the need to always want to escape reality. We always want more, feeling like we’re never quite there. It’s rare to have someone say… life is great, I’m happy with my lot in life. I believe some behaviors are to be avoided at all cost, but we do it anyway because we feel empty inside. Ultimately I believe that we desire something that’s not tangible, we cannot solidify anything in life…everything is fluid.,so yeah, you can’t avoid the mundane things in life, such as eating, drinking, etc, but those same things causes pain if taken to the extreme. Answer me, what does peace look and feel like to you? Is it constant? Ultimately, we’re all trying to cope, and that itself is a struggle.
it really annoys me that people dont talk about this more often, i keep thinking that we do what we do because we copy other people actions, society actions, we have friends and do Friends stuff or partners just because thats what we are told to do, we travel because we are told everything outside of our oun country is amazing and refreshing, i think we all keep chasing that ideal fake life, that will never arrive, then why fucking live, nothing is real, nothing is important nothing brings joy, ive been in the same patterns everyday since im aware and every fucking day i wonder why, i feel no joy in everyday its all the fucking same
Your point is your answer, if more people talked about this more people will get depressed, for society it has no benefits at all. Even if life doenst have a meaning it doesnt mean we should try to enjoy it while we can.
I've been asking myself the same thing the last few months. I retired at 56, (now 59) but I still have to work part time to pay all bills, pay mortgage, pay for repairs on house and car, etc. I have no time to travel and have any enjoyment like when I was in my 30's and didn't own a house. I have no kids, no wife (I'm taking care of a friend who lives with me and that is frustrating sometimes). Anyway, I appreciate hearing this from someone else just to know I'm not the only one that feels this way. Best wishes!
I'm from Indonesia. I agree with this video. Look up on existential depression. And also on depressive realism. Unfortunately, we're probably just the minority in this world, because most people seem to be okay, happy, & enjoy their life somehow. Sorry to say this, but it's also because most people are ignorant ("Ignorance is bliss"), they don't think too much, and they're usually simple-minded, eg: they just simply live & go through another day doing their daily routines without thinking too much about this life, world, society, existence, etc. There is now even a popular term/phrase called "toxic positivity", which is basically the same as optimism bias, which is inherent & part of human's nature, as a survival instinct, to just keep living (surviving), no matter what. I wish we have an exit button for some people like us who find this life to be meaningless, & also stupid, depressing. Oh, also try to look up about antinatalism, efilism, & pro-mortalism.
I just saw your newest video, and it seems you're trying to change for better. That's good for you. I wish I could also change for better, but unfortunately, it's not that easy/simple in my case. Basically my parents just don't agree with what I really want to do, so here I am now at 40 yrs old still a depressed failure who just don't know what to do anymore.
Right there with you. Attempted the big S once and fear stopped me from following through. I was depressed of my social life, lack of ability to get gf, appearance, job, and had a Mercedes coup so I was in the delusion that if I could at least present myself as someone who was love/friend/happiness worthy, and still no luck. One day told everyone I know I was checking out, was on the phone with my mother minutes before u was going to follow through with it. I was 140 mph ish and was going to steer into a telephone poll, and probably about 6 car lengths away i pull car back towards road and slowed down. Wasn't because I wanted to live, it was just frightening. Now I'm just taking whatever measures to cope my pitiful meaningless life away
Realest words spoken bro, and I knew life was a dead end at age 11!? Yes bro I always said I never wanted to slave away for the rest of the life, and many sheeps love it!?!? I’m trying each day to figure a way out of this curse to live versus surviving… Stay Blessed brother 💯
Wow, at the age of 11 you were well aware of what was going on in this world?! Much respect from me bro and I wholeheartedly agree…I’m seeking a way to obtain real freedom and actually live my life as opposed to just “staying afloat”. Bless you my brother!
And it really doesn’t matter if you work hard there’s always some boss that fucks you in the end and treats you like shit even when you work for them for 13 years ..
You're not alone, my friend. And yes, I feel you, and I can relate. The world is cruel. And life does suck. But its all about retaining a sense of hope. For me, life is about adapting and persevering through hard times. Even if it hurts.
I've worked with a few people who didn't make it to retirement. They worked hard and were kind, and their 'dreams' were modest (take a cruise or two, own a little farm). This existence is brutal. The house always wins.
That is depressing to hear. It is sad to know how the majority will never retire. Just work themselves into a grave, all because sadly without money we cannot survive.
Stuck working as well. I question this every day... Sometimes I just wanna stop... And be homeless. Sometimes I see homeless people and think "they are crazy" but maybe they are the sane ones.
@@L7B1C0S they probably look at us and think “look at these stupid idiots, going to work… for what? Until death!”. It’s scary to think about. Even more scary that everyone accepted it as normal. When I first started working I thought it was great only to quickly realized it wasn’t.

@@L7B1C0S Have you ever read into ancient Greek philosophy? Stoicism: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EFkyxzJtiv4.html&ab_channel=Aperture
You're not alone bro. After realizing the truth of this false reality we're living, I realize why they say ignorance is bliss. This life has no rewards, only pain and suffering. The few moments of joy and pleasure doesn't justify the immense suffering that the human experience brings. The worst thing is, nothing will change because 98% of people are still blindly in the matrix. We can change this world to make it a better experience for everyone, but instead we spend our time playing the game that was created by the elites for their continued power and control over us. Planet Earth is hell.
I believe we have been enslaved and have to find a way to escape somehow I feel the same way ..no one wants to talk about this because no one wants to seem weak we were taught to keep quiet and stay in line...thanks for sharing we will be free trust me
It makes me feel less lonely to know others are struggling with this. I've had thoughts of checking out early but I've resolved to the thought that I might as well stick around and watch the shit show going on because I got nothing else better to do
@@somethingrandomyt8367 Indeed, adopting an optimistic perspective rather than a nihilistic one is more constructive, as the latter does not offer solutions.
@@somethingrandomyt8367 yeah, what choice we have in order to survive otherwise, nihilistic is just suicidal mindset that's not worth it if we want to solve the problem instead of making more problem out of it.
Back here again and yeah I feel you I ask myself every day too why are we doing this useless slavery when there is no point I wish humanity would wake up and fight hate being here
I agree. Life is suffering and the world is hard as shit out there! It’s really what you make of it. The phrase ‘live in the present moment’ doesn’t apply to me when the present moment is flying by. I can imagine right now that viewing comments on this channel Being weeks and months ago. If this channel still exists for future generations to watch they’d scroll down and look at these silly comments from 60-80 years ago. We’d be f**king dead. RIP to all of us the game is over!
Social media lets you gain access to the lives of the rich and that is where you start to compare your life with others. Imagine living in the early 90's where you have little to no access to peoples' lives so easily, then you will not have this thought anymore
You're absolutely correct and I agree. There has to be some other way, bro. I used to think that living for the moment is where it's at but lately life's been beating me over the head and there's been little enjoyment, so I'm kind of left with the "life is suffering" but I can't find escape from it.
Material things are not the only things that bring happiness. Nature and people can. I look for peace within life and myself. It’s not easy no. But I accept things for what they are because there are things we can’t control.
Exactly. Too many people dwell on things they have no control over. To me it gets a bit silly when people spend too much time doing that. It is what it is at the end of the day like the saying goes.
We think the same brother. I struggled with this for a long time. Desperately I started considering the possibility that this life isn't all there is. I mean really, how did we get here? I've since found the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus rather compelling, and started doing further research on Christianity's validity. I now live life everyday in the comforting realization that Jesus is worth living for. Everything points back to him. It's life changing man, I can do nothing more than recommend looking into it!
I can relate. I work 40-50 hours a week doing pointless tasks but I feel like I’m just working for a piece of paper that has no value. I’m 20 years old and I live in Melbourne. The retirement age is 66 here, so another 46 years of wagecucking or 9-5 7-4 whatever the hours are. If I don’t make it to 66 whatever. My lifestyle isn’t healthy anyways so I’m looking forward to my death. I have no joy in this schedule. I can’t find what I love doing. It’s bullshit! I’m probably going to rope if this gets unbearable for me in the near future.
@@linzhao2235 I completely understand. Im not exactly healthy either and because of a health issue, it is preventing me from doing certain things that I used to be able to do. That really makes my depression much worse than what it is. But please don’t choose the suicide route. I know life blows but I care for you and those who are going through the same thing. Like the saying, every cloud has a silver lining. We’re only here for a limited time so we might as well try our best to make the most of it.
I see where you are coming from and had the same thoughts. This is what I've come to realize: "The desire to know your own soul will end all other desire." - Rumi. Living a life true and authentic to oneself is truly fulfilling, that has been my experience. We do have the option to create and build the life we want to live. If you value your time above material things, there are three options: 1. Reach financial freedom (by your standard) 2. Renounce a lot of materialism and live more monk-like, get by with less 3. Find work that you would actually like to devote yourself to regardless of money Everything is possible. Devote mental energy to the above instead of a negative perspective, it is a choice. Stay Based
Thank you for your comment! Finally someone who doesn’t respond negatively. I’ve been on a good roll of being positive and doing my best to make each day count on my own terms.
@@L7B1C0S Absolutely man! That's great to hear. I'd recommend the book "The Navalmanack" and in general Naval Ravikant, great philosophy on life his perspective has helped me a lot. I wish you continued success and prosperity, you can achieve anything you want. Take care
@@BasedBrothers right back at you and thanks so much for the book recommendation. Really appreciate people like yourself who take the time to actually comment something meaningful. I like to think solutions. F the problems. We’ve acknowledged that they’re there and it is what it is. Many thanks!
I already feel the dread of the coming week creeping up halfway through saturday. my only happy moment is friday night ( if I'm not on call), and most of the time I'm too exhausted to do anything but drink, fuck and smoke a single cigarette. keep in mind that I'm an MD, seen as a prestigious profession by society, and in a decent residency so logically my life fulfilment should be at the top correct? yet I hate my job, my life, society in general. I'm just a slave with a white collar. stress eats at me 24/7. we're all screwed
I look at myself the way God looks at me and try to do His will and help others. I don't measure my worth with the world's metric. You are going to be just fine young man.
It will be over eventually... Born - Died "-" is your life and the present moment can suck a lot of the times. While you're alive life does feel long especially if you're young. Like there's tomorrow and I think I will be here tomorrow.
I agree with a lot of what you say. Life is just a vicious cycle for the overwhelming majority of us. It is pointless and exhausting. I believe that there are very few individuals out there who are truly content. I think the ones who are in that group are either born filthy rich or some combination of talented and lucky enough to wind up with a career they like, either self employed or with a good boss, they get paid well, and they find their work fulfilling!! Certainly not easy to wind up with all those!! I didn't care for school at all despite going through many years of it and being very educated. But it was so much more tolerable than work. The bad bosses, incompetent coworkers, unethical companies, pressure, and meaningless tasks I have found at several jobs I have had have been crushing. I am 41 now and the thought of having to endure this grind for another 25 years or so is so demoralizing.
There’s a lot of truth to what you said. Some people are extremely lucky because they actually enjoy their job. Some have bosses that treat them like family rather than a typical employee. Some don’t even make a lot of money yet they’re happy. Those are the lucky ones. While I lie in bed and contemplate my existence every night…
@@L7B1C0S It's tough, it really is. These days companies often expect so much of their workers. Some of the professional jobs demand long hours and that you be on call constantly. You may make good money but it requires a lot. Then you have a lot of jobs that may not require as much in terms of credentials or formal education but pay barely anything and offer very little chance of advancement. One of the greatest feelings in life is not hating Sunday nights. I honestly don't really envy people who have nice cars, big houses, or very attractive significant others. The people I do Marvel at and can get jealous of are the ones who genuinely love their jobs. That must feel incredible.
@@j.b.6635 exactly my thoughts. In the end it’s a trap for most people. Make too little and you struggle to pay bills. Make a ton of money and you’re working 24/7. I envy those that truly enjoy their job like you. Must be amazing to not be affected by work knowing you have to be up and ready in a few hours, especially on a Sunday night.
I still struggle with these thoughts but what I like to remind myself with is that if nothing matters then the fact that nothing matters also doesn't matter so I can just as easily choose to ignore it and live as if everything matters. We've all spent billions of years not existing and we'll spend plenty more afterwards, so I think we may as well put everything we have into this brief moment we're here. We all die eventually but we can choose whether we want to die with a smile or with a ton of regrets.
@@enslaved1s I believe in Jesus Christ that’s what keeps me sane and moving forward knowing that there can possibly be a way better afterlife than this
Fr man everything is played out and my nihilism has me feeling like everything I do is just a distraction or forced meaningfulness. Music used to be my main catharsis to escape all of this but now I can't even find enjoyment in that unless I'm high 😢
I could play out a lot of scenarios on how life could be different like every other human being disappearing and me being the only one left the shit's fucked because i still have the same objective no matter what
I got on the elevator at the power plant I was working at one day with the same question. An old black dude noticed I wasn't feeling it that day and he asked me "whats got you down?". I replied "life". He then asked me, "does your dick get hard?". I awkwardly said "yeah" and then he said, "what the fuck you got to worry about?". We both laughed and I no longer let life get to me. We all go through the same shit man, just be glad for what you have and live in the moment.
i feel the need to numb myself with drugs everyday, I am having trouble finding reasons to live, everyday I wake up wishing I haven't, the little money I get I spend on drugs. I believe at this very point in time that if I'm numb myself and cant feel anything then maybe I can make it though the day. I always have to put on this chill happy funny guy face when I'm in public because asking what is wrong and constantly pressuring me for a answer makes it worse, so I have to pretend. Sometimes I really do feel invisible to people and only there when they get bored or when I start the conversation. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and when I do see slight improvement I always think to myself, well what now. It feels as if I have fallen into a deep dark pit with no way to get out. I truly don't want to die and I want to live to maybe one day have a family and get married. I have parents and siblings but talking to them will only make said things worse. I don't really have good friends either, the friends that I make are usually fake and don't truly care about me or want anything to do with you until they need something from me. I guess ill just see how long I can hold on for until the drugs or myself take me out.
Good video man I can relate to this my motivation for life has been cut due to this fact we are all decaying slowly but we don't see it but it's happening every second of our lives.
