What is life?

[VillainousHero]

What is life, when you have no motivation for life anymore?

Time just passes you by.  People become insignificant.  Relationships are just fleeting interactions.  The weather changes, the sun rises and sets.  Eat something when hungry.  Sleep when tired.  It's like depression.   Yet not the same either.  You do things but they just seem bland activities.  You laugh but it's not a true laughter.  You cry out, yet the tears have no emotions.  Do you feel all the pain in the world?  Yet don't really care.

Dear VillainousHero:

Life is all about learning and teaching.

Although time passes you by and people become insignificant, no matter what, you should make it a priority to learn something new all the time...whether its a new discovery about your relationships, the world, or yourself, learn it, and then pass on that knowledge if you're able to.

Just keep repeating the cycle of learning and teaching, and you'll soon remember your motivation for living again. You'll see that there is more to life than simply existing 'til that day of your very last breath.

Oh, and please do refer to my quote below, b/c it holds true for everyone.

Thanks for the reply.

I do believe that learning for me is somehow twisted.  All I'm learning is that the world is cruel and malicious.  People are pretentious and selfish.  I'm not learning from the right environment.  I'm only being exposed to all the corruption and rat race.

All I want to do is achieve a sense of balance.  Trying to find a harmony in my own existence.  Yet I'm overwhelmed by the waves of destruction and deviance from others.  I get swepted by the strong currents as I try to fight the tides.

Everyday, I'm dying a little bit more at a time.  It's become apparent to me.  I'm not living to live.  I'm just surviving to the passing time.

At least you got no worries and don't care.

life is suffering what your parents had sufferd and knowing that your fresh n blood will suffer what you're suffering ...cut that line n watch the world suffer

A co worker asked me that one time. I said I had none. Turns out that he was trying to recruit people for those insurance pyramid scams! Is that what you're doing? Recruiting people to scam other people. LOL. My favorite horror monster is a vampire. He can suck all the pain in me away any time he wants. Life is boring to me these days too. You're not alone. Your quote could be made into a song.

Did you get married?  Last time we hang out in HmongVillage, you were about to get married.  I thought things were going well. 

Anyway, update me on what's going on.
