Wanting more out of life :(

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else ever have one of those days when you feel like there's something missing? Right now my mind is racing with thoughts. I feel as though I was put here on this earth...the way that I am for a reason, yet I can't see the big picture.I feel so alone and I just can't seem to erase these thoughts from my head! Why am I here? Why are any of us here at all?I know the answer.It is to "above all else love one another" as the lord God commands which is so hard when you can't tear down your wall enough to feel love in return. A wall that was built and reinforced by abuse, pain, and sadness inflicted upon you by others throughout your life! I'm so hypersensitive to all the ills of this world. Sometimes I swear I can feel all the pain of it come rushing down on me at once. Some days the intensity of it makes me physically ill! The world is sick and it frustrates the heck out of me that when it's all said and done, I must come to grips with the fact that no matter how much I desire to do so,I just can't heal it! At least...not ALONE. I don't have the strength, the brains, or even the courage to! Then alas, at the end of each day I feel even more alone than the day before. I fear that soon there will be nothing left of my spirit...


Apathy can be lethal but, could one actually care too much?

Well..I guess that´s why I got to study medicine. Because in some way, I am really thankful to God that my parents and me are healthy and kinda happy and that all my beloved are still alive and I kinda felt responsibility for the other´s suffering. But it´s crazy and I should forget about such altruism, it isn´t healthy and it won´t do you any good. One can take care about othes, but without getting yourself too much involved-it can only harm you and it´s not effective for the others then at all.

I'm exactly the opposite. I look at the world and I see smiling people even in really lousy situations. The capacity for human happiness truly astounds me.

I just want to contribute my share towards making it that much better.

there is an amazing strength in the human spirit,
i also can't help but feel responsibility for what others go through, i just want to help make the world a little better then what it was when i came in to it.

There are several things missing in my life, some I know of and some I may not. I wonder if I'll ever obtain them.

Shine, Perishing Republic

While this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity, heavily thickening
to empire,
And protest, only a bubble in the molten mass, pops and sighs out, and the
mass hardens,
I sadly smiling remember that the flower fades to make fruit, the fruit rots
to make earth.
Out of the mother; and through the spring exultances, ripeness and decadence;
and home to the mother.

You making haste, haste on decay: not blameworthy; life is good, be it
stubbornly long or suddenly
A mortal splendor: meteors are not needed less than mountains:
shine, perishing republic.
But for my children, I would have them keep their distance from the
thickening center; corruption
Never has been compulsory, when the cities lie at the monster's feet there
are left the mountains.

And boys, be in nothing so moderate as in love of man, a clever servant,
insufferable master.
There is the trap that catches noblest spirits, that caught -- they say --
God, when he walked on earth.

-- Robinson Jeffers

no one can change the way the world works, do what feels right and take the opportunity to do what you can when you can

though it can be hard to know when the right times are

Calibama,

You can't care too much, but you can care in the wrong way and about the wrong things.

There is so much wrong in the world, and for one person to try to fix it all is just too big a job, and if you spend your time thinking about what you can't do, you'll never do anything.

Find the place where you CAN make a difference. Volunteer somewhere. A library, food shelf, political campaign, whatever. Know that what you do makes the world better for you being there.

Good luck in finding your place in life,

This is me in a nutshell.

It seems like you are a spiritual person. you could go to a church or if you're already in one, look for one where you can find the truth.

When I think I've accomplished everything I can think of, there's always something new.
