Am I alone in thinking what is Life all about.. we are born, we try to do the best we can as adults and then we die.

I am normally a pretty positive upbeat person but sometimes I guess I think and analyze a bit too much. We are born, grow into adults, get married or stay single, work, have a family or not, try to do the best we can with life difficulties and struggles...enjoy some happy times, get old, have ailments and die. I don't get it. I guess I am just having a moment. Maybe I am still grieving my sister. I am grateful for all I have but I just wonder.. I'm I alone on this ship?
 

You are not alone in thinking this. I am not a particularly religious person but there was a song called Turn,Turn,Turn. I liked the song but it was years later that someone told me it was based on a Bible verse. Ecclesiastes Chapter 3.
One of the very few verses that is straightforward, easy to understand and not overflowing with religious ideas. In my mind,anyway.
I told my kids when I die if anyone wants to say anything at all they can read a bit of that chapter.

Yeah, that's about the size of it Lady....we can also try and enjoy ourselves as much as we can when we can.

It makes life more bearable when times are rough. 🌹 (y) ;) 🦉

That's the thing... I am an extrovert. I do enjoy myself and I am grateful for all I have.. but seems like something is missing. I pray I am not heading into a depression...Noooooooo, I am not going to claim that.
 
I think we all wonder at times what we're all doing here. I always wonder what my purpose is here and if I'm doing anybody any good. Or if I'm just a waste of space and hot air. The older I get, the more alone I get. People don't pay attention to you as you get older. You become less necessary I guess. That's when I start asking God why he even bothered with the human race and then my mind goes on quite the jaunt let me tell you. LOL!
It's easier to just not think about it. For me anyway.

Awwww.... I didn’t realize so many people felt this way until recently. This must be extra scary for those who live alone. It’s also extra scary for those with existing mental issues. I wish there was a way that I could help. At least you found us. ♥️

Here's the song for anyone wanting to listen.....does make sense....life is just an experience of it all....
 
Cats are Zen masters; they live in the present moment, unconcerned about their origins or final destination. Cats co-exist with the natural order of things. If they have food, shelter, and occasionally a little affection, they are content. We can learn much from them... 🐱
 
I remember when I was a teen.. why had God even allowed my mum to be born, if he was to allow her to die just 39 years old and leave all her children behind motherless.. why?.. what was the point of it all?.. what use was that..why did she have to suffer as she did as a child in an orphanage abused by nuns , why did she have to suffer in a violent marriage..why have her be born at all?.I remember actually begging God for answers .. why did he put her through that ..for what reason?

Since then I've asked the same question of myself... I was still born , why not leave me dead instead of resuscitating, into a terribly abusive childhood, causing illnesses through malnutirtion , then into an abusive marriage and so on...and so forth.... why?..what's the whole point of it all.. ?

The only single answer I can come up with is it took all of that to create my daughter.. who is in my eyes, is a blessing to the world, to me, and to the animal kingdom of whom she spends her life caring ... ...

What other answer can there be ?... :unsure:

I'm normally an upbeat person as you all know, but those dark thoughts about the meaning of life do plague me occasionally...
