Have you ever thought about suicide?

When you realise life is pretty futile in the end lots of things go through your mind. I don’t know if I should or could be a mother in this awful world, and if not, I think, what is my purpose?

It isn’t just about what you get trained to do. They train animals to entertain but their lives are dreadful, having to subject themselves to the whim of a human who has a whip. That’s just the same as it is for us, humans. Nobody takes a holistic approach to life, they think because they are alive they have a purpose, a right to be alive. The ultimate egotism.

Everyone has heard the saying that from the moment you are born you are dying. It is a sick joke perhaps, that all of us ‘miracles’ from the struggles of the womb, are destined to die, at varying times, but the idea is ‘three score and ten’ , and you might be the one who’s vanity arrives at world fame for some achievement in science, or some oneupmanship in the world of entertainment. But it is all vanity, a striving after the wind.

What is happiness? Lying in the arms of someone who helped you achieve orgasm? I’m unconvinced, since so many men don’t have that as a distinction. It’s not on their C.V, or resume, that they give earth-shattering orgasms!

The futility outweighs any sense of worth, or wonder.

Well, we are all going to die, that is a given. So if we reduce our time on earth to that one event, nothing we do counts.

But the hyphen on tombstones, between when we are born and when we die denotes the time we spent living. Nobody that I know thinks that simply because they are alive they have a purpose.

Virtually everyone I know has sought out what their specific purpose is. Some have found it or something like it, others are still looking but living as they are looking and doing what they see as their purpose now. No matter how great or humble it is, it is their purpose, not for any wonderful egotistical pleasure, but simply what they think they should do.

One bloke I know took his purpose as symbolised by a big toe nail. He was to be there to protect and serve the people in his life, as a toe nail protects the big toe. Not to get accolades or any great fanfare, but just to ensure he made other people's lives easier.

So what is your purpose or role in your time of living?

@Zeusdelight I am an agrochemist, and I was achieving good things until Putin attacked my city 🏙️

@Smidke Yes, I am sorry for your experience, but horrible things happen in life. You have experienced a loss of your career home and lifestyle at the least.

But that doesn't mean your life stops. You are continuing it on. Now you either rebuild your agrochemist career or find some other purposeful role for yourself. It is not easy, but it is still your life to rebuild.
