Answer 1

IMO there is no point to life, we're just "here". Enjoy it while you are, have fun with it. Some parts of life suck pretty bad, others are great. Its all what you make of it.  For the ones telling you that you are a waste of time, what are you listening to them for? Life is tough, im not gonna lie, but ya get through it, bad times only last for so long. Some people choose to end it early as a way out, but you never know what you'd be missin out on, stick around for the ride :)

Answer 2

I don't know how old you are, though I'm guessing you are somewhere between mid teens and early twenties.

I used to feel this way a lot, I was quite jaded and angry at the world. What snapped me out of it was "time" - I could only ever manage to keep a girlfriend for a month or two before either they would leave me, or I would leave them. I was arrogant, rude, and thought I knew everything.

I thought I was being punished, I thought life was pointless, and I blamed everyone else in the same way you think none of this is your fault.

Consider happiness. Where does it come from? It's simple, it's an emotional response that you feel, it comes from inside you. You have a choice, you can enjoy a life of depression, and some people actually thrive on it, or you can chose to be happy. It really is that simple.

If you chose to be happy, then be happy. Never place blame for a problem that is squarely your own. You can't see the point to life because you haven't tried to look at the things that are important. Sure, we are all going to die, but do you remember anything before you were born? Do you think you will remember anything after you die?

What ever it is that allows us to know we are alive doesn't matter, what does is that we have an inbuilt desire for compassion, companionship, and a million other emotions. You are alive, cutting that life short would absolutely hurt other people.

I guess what I am saying is that as you get older, you start to understand that 'something bigger' is what ever you want to make it. Some people seek out religion, others go in for the materialistic side, some enjoy loneliness while others love companionship of friends and family.

Find what works for you.

Only you can fix this, and you can definitely do that. I hope you find something. Being alive is worth the effort!

Take care whoever you are.

Answer 3

The point of life is that you are an individual unit of all that is, witnessing the beauty of creation.

Answer 4

Dear Little Flower of Umbria...You attitude is one which alarms me, greatly!

You are being MUCH too negative with yourself!

Should you continue to tug yourself into a downward direction, you will become overwhelmed, and then, you'll FULLY believe that where you "end-up" is where you were destined to be.

No, you must not do that!

Life is very Challenging, Little Flower, it will not stop being challenging. As a matter of fact it will increase being this way as you grow older.

You must make a sudden STOP NOW - reverse your thinking. Do not overwhelm your brain - but begin a new day by taking life by the horns, by what it is, and as objectively as you can.

Life is NOT a waste of time. If you are here, you MUST see it through, for you are here for a person. Yes, it may be difficult to take up what life is demanding of you, but there is a purpose to it. You may not know it. For the very most part, none of us do. That is why I say do not weigh your life down, with : "am I to be blamed?" I should have...when!" "I am disgusted, bone-tired" "I think it is all a waste of time" - etcetera.

SUCH QUESTIONS are not for you to ask. As a matter of fact the only major choice you must make in life, is to say "Okay, this is Life, I am aware of the space I hold within it. To this space do I dedicate myself. I will answer to the demands of life; my refuge, with objectivity, as bravely as I can. I will not weaken Life, or myself, by hating it. Cursing It! Cursing myself within it! I will wake up everyday, that Life may have me, and simply respond to it. Not through negativity, but with all the energy I have. I will not HELP turn that energy into negativity. AT BEST, SUCH ENERGY FELT, SHALL BE PLACED ON AUTOMATIC, on the most challenging days! I will reserve energy on those days to put into the days which are more positive. I will not squander any energy into negativity, that exacts a great toll. I can not afford the expenditure of my energy to go into a hole, which negativity is! No Matter What... I will exercise my courage in the face of life. I will ask life no questions that will tire IT as well, as it tires me in return. If and when I see myself doing that, I will STOP such a practice of defeat right there and then...AND AGAIN BEGIN!

Little Flower, you may find me odd...I am odd, but I know myself. I also have a keen intuition into things, people. The reason I call you Little Flower of Umbria, is because you remind me of a little white flower which grows in the fields in a part of Italy. It is very small, and looks very delicate, but it deceives the eye, for this little flower does sustain the hard rain. The intense sun, the night shadows. Its' stem is deceivingly fragile, but instead it supports the little flower in order for it to Always be looking up at the sun.

I believe you are like that. But FIRSTLY, you must believe it. Be the Mistress, as this little flower is, of its' Destiny. Imagine this : if one where to place an ear to the little flower, it would whisper, I am small but strong and powerful within the immensity of this field. I need myself firstly to take up, my reason for being...once I do that, I will continue being, no matter what. For something else provides to my existence.

You say you do not want God. That is fine. What you define is important to your survival, Miss is what matters most. I myself am not a theist. I tend to take what energy is within me to help support myself. I depend firstly upon that. It is my foundation.

I believe you are much too harsh on yourself : the moniker you have given yourself, is brutal. The image your avatar describes is one which weakens who FAR MORE than that, You Are! I already told you, images, names by which you are known, or which you may give yourself will in themselves have their influence upon you. Why do you discredit yourself, Miss, when to my sense of intuition, you are that little white flower of Umbria???

All things have voices and messages, Miss. Your Avatar is cruel, self-doubting. Your moniker, the name you have given yourself is NOT AT ALL YOU!!! Dismiss it. dismiss the powers you have allowed these images to represent of you. They are false, I tell you. Choose another name, another moniker. Allow a kinder intuition in you about you to speak, make claim, of the best in you. When you are ready, and that name has become a better, kinder one, this present avatar, will tell you for itself that it needs change. CHANGE IT, THEN!

You are only overwhelmed now. It shall pass. But you must help the situation, as well. Stand in the middle of all the confusion which besets you, and with a lung-full of NEW courage make a vow to yourself to act towards Life, differently from now on, even if it is very difficult. Take time, day by new day, one step at a time. Do not look back, stand at that moment : NOW! Do with now, without allowing yourself to be overwhelmed. Make this a practice, Miss. It will take on its own energy as you progress. It will progress, I tell you.

I do this every day. I am objective toward life because Life has an identity of its own. I am within it. I can only work toward my individual survival by recognizing myself, within it. Acting toward myself appropriately; not through arrogance, nor with lack of self esteem. Only objectively : as if saying; "Life is, I am, I am within it - I will accept Life, be its' refugee. I will be one, who shall honour life for having it taken me in. I will act accordingly then. In time I will flow with life. I'll be ONE with it.

Begin now. There is not so much time to wait - if you do you will tire yourself, thoroughly, little flower, And you'll find yourself, living within life, with one of those "Boots" those things that you place onto a tire of a care, which holds it in place, not allowing it to move, unless you remove the obstacle.

Please, you must take responsibility for Life, your life. You are the only one, the first one who must do this. All others, everything else will follow.

I alert you, alarm you to do THIS Now!

Your friend, Grecia.

Supposing that from this moment onwards, ALL human beings decide to stop reproducing OR lose capacity to reproduce. After a century or so, there wont be any human being on earth. The earth will go round the sun, all planets will continue in their orbits. flowers will bloom still, oceans will continue to beat the shores, in vain... Who will enjoy all these? The point of your life is to enjoy all these and more.. And to create more human beings so that the purpose of th universe isnt disturbed.
