what's the point?

nobody can ever truly understand another person.

and who is ever really happy?

it seems like everyone just plays the game day by day.

i don't know whether to laugh or cry at how absurd and meaningless life is.

wanderingmoon,

I know how you feel, I have been there many times.
What gives me hope, me, I tune out stupid games people play.

Other people are no more important than I am. They made do a different job, different spiritual beliefs,but they have to do eat, pee and sleep just like the rest of us.

Everyone has to find some happiness in ourselves. When we feel that we are filled with despair, and sadness, it is hard to see that little white light in yourself that is shining, loving and always ready to grow and enjoy life.

I have to fight that misery, nothingness, gray, washed out look on the world EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life. I do, always trying to feel the good things I cant remember at the time. If I get really bad, I read a list I made. It is a list of reasons to be happy.
JMHO to all this. wanderingmoon, you are a beautiful caring human being inside and out.

All my best to you,
red

thank you...

you are definitely a very caring and good person.

Aye

You are born, have a nice childhood (or if unlucky, you haven't), go to school, finish school - then you become a wage-slave. (or you go to university for 4 years but thats just a temporarly solution. Because you become a wage-slave after you graduation anyway). One day you wake up and feel like $#%^. You go to work and feel like $#%^. You go home and feel like $#%^. You cook the same ######6 food and watch the same TV-shows over and over and over again. And when people ask you about your repetitive life they expect a happy-and-don't-give-a-shit-about-how-pointless-everthing-is -answer and if they don't get such an answer they pretend to give a damn and ask you whats wrong. If lucky you get shoot in a bank robbery, get runned over by a bus or dies from a gas-leak in your apartment before you hit 40, but normally you become so old you cant wipe your own ass or take a shower by yourself. Then some day you die in your own pukes, lying in your bed and thinking about how #######5 life was after all. You ask yourself if it was worth it.

Aye. Life is pointless and meaningless. Welcome to the realworld.

Kind of a late welcome, seeing how I've inhabited the real world for quite some time, but I'll take it.

I was just having a dramatic depressed moment. Thanks for sympathizing.

I usually have a bit more hope for my life than it being meaningless. I guess. It teeters. Meaninglessness doesn't have to necessarily lead to sadness and depression, either. Happiness in itself is a reason for living if you can find some in life.
