Oh I don't for one minute think of such a depressing reason for there

being life in the form of humanity on this planet. My God said to me, Before the foundation of the earth I have a purpose for you. I have the hairs on your head counted, no matter where you may go I'll be with you, I shall never leave or forsake you.

The more educated (in the secular world) the more I knew God through Jesus had created all that was from simply his word. I have personally experienced miracles. I know when I die from this earth I shall reside with God eternally. He tells me absence here is presence with God. The depression we have mostly about life, those times when you just don't know what you're depressed about it is the whole in your soul that is to be filled with the Holy Spirit, the comforter when you accept Jesus as your personal Savior.

God bless you.

Hooray for antidepressants and antipsychotics alike! Huzzah! =P I think “what’s the point” is, for me, a much healthier way to think. But that’s just me.

Well shucks, now I have to go and do some reading =P. Someone at one point talked about the idea that God is required in order to have morals. I’ll have to look through the books I have to try and find him.

Yup, one of the reasons I have dealt with
depression in the past is because if you look at the world without the rose-colored glasses that certain brain chemicals provide, you get a definite "what is the point?" view of living and dying. And people say antidepressants are bad....

Uni,

Because not all of us believe this is the end...and the things that might make us happy, might also be the things that take us from Heaven's Gate....like murder. What if murdering someone made you happy?

Or stealing from a blind man? Or raping a child?

Those are things people with no "God" do.  (Not implying anything about those who don't believe in God, not implying they are all murderers, or that someone who believes in God wouldn't murder. Talking about generalities.)

If murder makes them happy. Perhaps they are "just" living in the moment and acting out on their fantasies, becasue they know this is it....and nothing matters as long as they are still bretahing. Does that make them monsters or mentally ill....those with morals, ie. God, values, and virtues of right/wrong seem to think so.

But where does right and wrong stem from...orginally God's law, now man's law.

The question is do people who fear living in the moment do so because they know right from wrong and fear what makes them "happy" is wrong?

UH...
I think it's like an instinct. We just do...we just know...we feel it within...and you're welcome !!!

But when life on the Earth finally winds down and there’s no one left to remember all that we had done, won’t man’s reign be forgotten then? Then again, Ariala might somehow manage to pull it off =P

So why do you think we strive for that purpose though. What would you personal interpretation be? And hey, thanks for the link! =D You’re too kind

Tell Bee, “What’s crackin’ G-Funk”

 

So why do you think it is that it’s easier to accept craptastic life know that there’s something in the end? Why is it that we can’t just be happy that we’re alive and we have some time to spend while we’re here?

Right. Nietzsche would say it is an effect of intelligence, the self inflated sense of self worth. I’m sort of curious what individual people think and feel though. Why an individual finds it sad to think they have no purpose. I guess it would be their interpretation of a natural condition.

Thanks Kingmi !!!

Unidentified, Congratulations! And no, this is as good a rationale as you
can get for living life one day at a time.  It seems more healthy to me, although, I cannot see how man's reign could ever be thought of as forgotten, having known some people like Shakespear, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Ariala.

UH...
It seems depression because we as humans are striving to find our purposes in life...and the is purpose...lots of it...for each of us...and when all of mankind dies it will not all die with them....the legacy will go one for eternity...

Bee says hi...btw...

I think fundamentally....people can accept their lives as being sh*tty, because they know life is not the end-all. After we die, there is something "better" for us out there.

If we were to consider the moment, ie. our short existence, we would seriously have to reevalute our lives and what we think would make us happy. If mankind all believed the same, that we merely exist, could you imagine all the greedy, ego-eccentric, selfish people we'd have mulling around...trying to live the "happiest" life and taking what they want to dominate those "less happy."

People have an innate, built-in need to try to find or create meaning in their lives
in spite of or because of the obvious seeming meaninglessness of them. It's a basic
drive, part of our make up, we don't have much choice about it.
