Working and Living, for what?

Featured Replies

So you are living this life, right? And you go to work, you sleep, eat, feel.

 

 

But what for? I mean, what (personally) are you living for? What is your purpose and reason to work?

 

Do you expect to just survive and get though it all, and then it ends?

 

 

Is there something you await for after life?

 

 

if so...what is it?

yes yes, good question. excellent. everyone needs goals... my goal is to make a difference in the world positively somehow. I'm confused right now exactly how... but there are different ideas I have and I'm working towards them. I'm also hoping for a good family and a lakehouse and loving my kids (if any) and wife (if so) as much as possible.

do you think there is something waiting for you after death? Or you live for just this life?

DEEEP.

 

 

 

But here's short and sweet answer:

 

 

I hope to survive this whirlwind of life.

And in the process improve someone else's life in return.

 

but after it's all over. I anticipate the inner peace.

And I know the world will go on without me. But hopefully someone somewhere out there will remember me.

yep, I believe in life after this... that's what I really want to work for, cuz nothing I can make on earth will last. that's one reason I am not doing engineering anymore

and you will accomplish that how?

 

 

i know many people wish to be remembered. Because its some kind of lasting purpose they give life. Like, if they do something that has a direct effect in their life, in future lives, then their life will seem like it wasn't a waste. Others live thier life witha passion for one thing or another.

 

It reminds me of poets and writers or artists and how some in their life were critized for their styles. And few had people to admire and praise their works. But it was in their death that they are remembered.

 

Maybe their lives seemed hopeless because at the time they wrote pieces, no one seemed to care.

So how to stop that cycle? Will someone find the good (and even bad, if you think past it all) and admire you for your purpose? DO you hope that?

If I only knew.......Sometimes I just think about it, about my life and realize that I have no aim, no point to life for.It makes me feel really depressive.But I've got a dream to travel around the world-maybe I should live for that, it's so interesting and the world is beautiful.I wish I could change something in this world, so I will do my best.The best I can haha :thinking:

Whoa, i remember i created a similar thread long ago and my answer is still the same... " i'm not living, i'm just killing time" booo just cos nothing really makes me want to go n, awful feeling but hey, life isnt perfect eh?

 

ps. i didnt forget about the song, i'll send it to ya next time i see ya on :kiss:

well. at the moment my life is my litte bros and sisters... I'm in charge of them and support them financial and moral... it's not easy!!!!

 

all this for what!!?? I rather not go that way... otherwise it will drive me nuts... cause I don't really believe in anything after death...

do you think there is something waiting for you after death? Or you live for just this life?

 

i live for just this life. perhaps something is waiting for me after death. but i don't like to get too bogged down in something i will never know the answer to.

" i'm not living' date=' i'm just killing time" [/quote']

 

haha Ren look at my signature :shy:

 

i think i'm living/working for my family and for my children (future)...and in a little part for myself:stunned:

Actually I can't tell you why I'm living.....maybe because I should make other people happy....

Sometimes I just think that I'm just a tiny part of something huge and it means nobody cares, if I wouldn't exist, nobody'd regret.

@ Lera: Actually, I believe that the world HAS some beautiful places, but in truth... (if you believe in God and what was God's true purpose in the beginning for mankind)

then this world is actually not what it could have/should have been. And in truth we are just stuck in something second best...as in, functional for humans. But imperfect and while traveling to just the nice places would be a sight - There is stilll the ugly world left.

 

And to the second comment: that is so sad! :sad:

 

 

 

 

all of these answers made me real sad for mankind! :cry2:

 

 

@Ren: K...thanks.... and I think (if it was not loong looong ago, i remember another thread like that, now that i thinks about it :thinking:

 

 

@Miguel: First, you are one kind man. Second...I know it's hard to think about other things than the present...but wouldn't it be nice/good/necessary to know what all the tedious work is for?!

 

 

@bonnie04: maybe knowing would lighten things instead of adding something else to bog you down with? :huh:

how can I find it out!!?? :huh:

Life is what you make of it.

maybe because I should make other people happy....

I think that's what life is mostly about

This is a very deep and interesting topic for talking about, Crystal ;) but I think most of the people don't have a clear idea... those questions are pretty hard for answering, at least for me.

 

What am I living for? To be honest I don't know exactly why... gosh, I've never wondered something like that! Maybe I'm living for the people whom I love, for doing something that could be useful for the others some day, I'm living for being happy and trying to do my best, I would like to bring some good things, for enjoying all the little moments that life brings me, for crying, laughing... definitely, for living ~life is for living~ (just like the song!) :nice:

 

My reason for work? Well, mainly is for spending some time doing what I'm really enjoying to do, and trying to bring some benefits for living better... I think is quite important to work, 'cause then, when you have leisure time you enjoy it much more, it's important for valuing what we've. :)

 

I don't wait anything after life... and precisely, this matter distress me a lot 'cause sometimes, I dunno why, but I begin to think... until I think, well, when I die, nothing that's so important for me now, will make sense, 'cause I'll be in a deep dream, it'll be like if I'm dreaming but just like when I'm not dreaming anything... and I have a weird feeling inside of me... :cry:

 

 

btw, Crystal, why don't you answer these questions, as well?

  • Author

I just wanted everyones opinion.

 

And I have spread mine around before and it was not so welcome.. by ..some

 

:shifty:

 

 

So I vow to keep em deep in there and live em out.

 

Iris...thank you for your insight to my questions :wink: And it's good to live for love, to give and rightfully recieve

  • Author
how can I find it out!!?? :huh:

 

 

it's tough work, and for it you must dig deep into (and i know this is vauge..but i know not your souces) the places that you trust most.

 

 

 

Bijeli_Miš : Somehow "Life is what you make of it" is not enough :confused:

my dear Crystal, I know what you mean, and you mean it well... but sometimes is not that simple... i'm going through a phase which I don't trust anybody or anything, maybe not even myself...

 

on the other hand so many shit happened to me in past 4 years that if I dig deep I end up shooting myself...

 

I miss being 20 and a dreamer... :D

no no dreams don't have to go, in fact they are very important !

 

 

aand i was going to mention how when searching for answers, you have to know who to trust and that just makes you want to answer more questions and then maybe not have anyone to trust!

 

life is a vicious cylce!

 

and boy,... i believe i can sympathize/and empathyize as well, because you or anyone can never know just the life we all have lead...including me.

 

And i for one will take your word when you say the words that there has been a heavy and frightful past that has taken your trust,.... unfortuanatly ...it happens!

again, I understand you perfectly and would even dare to say that always thinked like you, but events change you... and things can go back but it needs time... I wish I could just click my fingers and start trusting again... I will, I know it, but I'll go slowly...

  • Author

it's a slow slow and heavy process...no lies about that one.

 

Sometimes in real life, i come off as a mean person....why?

 

because trust is a big issue and i still fear that if i put confidence in something, then parts of my life might like, cave in or something.

 

I always feel like someone is messing with me, so i get stubborn and trust little.

 

 

I know this does not help, mon ami. But if you want...PM and let me know the details of this.

 

(dont take it in a strange way.... :rolleyes: I want to help) IF YOU WAANT

 

 

btw, i have to go now....

bye Miguel *footmassageforahardworker* LOL

:kiss:

Thanks a lot Crystal... very sweet from you... but I must find this trust myself, and I can be taking a first step tomorrow (going to a job interview), change job will mean change town that will mean change the people around me... let's see how it goes...

 

bye... :kiss:
