I've always thought that the reason for living is to experience pleasure and to extract happiness from it. Every living thing deserves to be happy.

So what do you enjoy? Is there anything that makes you happy? It could be any number of the endless amounts of things out there. Perhaps it's music, reading, exercise, videogames, cooking, some kind of creative outlet.

The reason to live is obvious, it's to experience happiness. What you need is to find the source of that happiness, and do everything to maximize its role in your life.

I will definitely try that since I love hiking, as soon as it gets a little warmer here i will 100% go for a long hike, alone with myself. Thank you so much

Volunteering helped me feel useful when I was in a phase where I truly felt worthless.

Sure it helps bro. Just seeing other people having a reason (even if it doesn't make sense to me) gives me hope that i will find mine one day. Thanks❤️

Lifes only meaning is that to which you give it.

We all go through this period of banality of life.

Maybe try something that is really out of the ordinary like going for a really long hike. Like for a few days or even longer. Plan it out. Camp out. Turn off the phone. Just you and your thoughts.

Just focus on trying to appreciate nature and the wonder of the world.

And if you get eaten by an animal, then you don't have to worry about the rest of it all I suppose.

Obviously, this may not be a fit for you, but I hope that my intent behind this sparks something for you.

You're right, life inherently has no meaning. What I found that keeps me going is goals, however small they may be. You have to find your next goal and keep going at it, and when you achieve that, find another goal and keep going at it. I know it sounds very cliche, but this is what keeps me going. IDK if this helps or not, it is what it is.

I do not decide what to believe. I am only able to think, and if something makes sense I will stick to it, if it doesn't, or if it even gives me more doubt and suffering, i will leave it. I am glad Jesus helped you tho

It works u just have to really submit to God. You have to really want to be saved. You got believe in your heart that Jesus died for all sins and he rose from the grave 3 days later. Ain't no try it's do or do not

I prefer the opposite advice. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I don't get sick, but I cry.

Sorry, already tried Christianity and it doesn't work

Jesus

WTF does that even mean?

This is some Facebook level bot stuff

if every single person in this planet we call earth is trying to beat me up for persuing my goals, i think i would chose diferent goals

Thank you for sharing this. I knew he had some form of dementia but I never realized just how severe his symptoms became over time. I can almost feel the relief over her words, she no longer has to live and die based on his functioning. Such a bittersweet end to such a wonderful man's life. Thank you again.

This is gold

You never know what's on the other side, but we owe it to ourselves to see!

Society tells me I should shower but this crusty image macro is proof that they're the ones who are wrong, thanks reddit.

Your global levels affect everything, if they are down as a result of Parkinsons disease or Lewy Body dementia, they are down everywhere. And a loss of 40% of dopamine neurons from baseline is going to affect mood. There isn't a pool for each malady, it's a system.

Watch your TV and it becomes your thoughts

You’re right. Im leaving my wife for the hot secretary at work. Thank you!
