What is Life in your words?

Post Reply New Topic

Is your life work and wealth? If not, what?

Life's a b***h... Sorry. Just a bit of keyboard Tourette syndrome...

Life is hell and not worth living!

Sometimes you are the pigeon.......sometimes you are the statue.

My life is a mostly empty, endless string of attempts to find something to hold onto, occassionally dotted by illusions of hope and love, fraught with pain, depression and sleepless night after sleepless night. Otherwise, life is peachy.

Are you all alive?

(My life is a question that's without an answer; or an answer to a question that wasn't asked; everything, nothing and everything that's held between? I’m confused, perhaps it just “is”; perhaps it’s “not”. Perhaps it’s the opposite of nothing and everything: the impossible? I know the chance of me living is incomputable, or perhaps the sum is easier than 3 by 3 and I’m incapable of seeing it? Perhaps life is just questions, or answers; or answers to questions or questions to answers.)

My favourite poet said: life's just a lie with an "f" in it. I like that.

Life is generally good for me. When I feel sad, I spend time with my cats. They are a source of comfort for me. Personally, my own life is going well, but I have been full of worries about my family and my pets. The cat food scare has been making me very nervous.

Life is mysterious. What really created the universe? Is there a reason we exist? Is The Matrixactually a hint on the truth? Are you all figments of my imagination?

Are cats telepathic?

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name and it feels like home....
Ahem. Scuse me I came over all Madge...........

Life is an endless journey with many paths, none being the wrong one, so long as you choose to learn from all of your experiences.

LIFE is great, my life sucks

I feel life is a balance act between these four equally important things: (1) doing what is necessary to survive, (2) protecting ourselves from unhappiness, (3) acquiring true understanding and appreciation of the universe in which we exist, and (4) doing good things in this universe.

"Work and wealth" seem relevant only to the extent that these facilitate one or more of the above four points, beyond that "work and wealth" seem counterproductive.
If you feel your life is "hell", that's probably because you feel you have no control over it at all. But you do always have at least some control!
(A) You control what you DO (and don't do), so concentrate on doing things when you feel you're a helpless ping pong ball tossed around by forces outside of you. (B) Unless you're in an extremely horrible situation, you control your physical and mental integrity. You can make clear to people when they're crossing your lines, hopefully by talking with them, but if necessary by showing them that hurting you comes with a price they don't want to pay. (C) You control where you are. If there are people who persistently attempt to exercise control over your life, you can remove them from your life by going elsewhere. This may not be true if you're younger than, say, 18; if that's the case, just be patient and look forward to a life in which it's never going to be as bad again as it is now.

How can one answer such a question in a post?

My momma always said life is like a box of chocolates - expensive, fattening, and bad for your teeth...

Life is hard, because I have high expectations and I'm trapped. I want to be optimistic and generally am but my pertinence is running out. I different but expected to be the same. I just want to be able to use my curiosity. It's all out there taunting me with interest.

I never understood the question what is the meaning of life?

There is no meaning. Why would you think there is a meaning or need one?

What is the meaning of thing?

An opportunity to teach the mainstream to have empathy for people who go to the beat of a different drum.
