I think life is meaningless, there's no happiness. Well, let's say there actually will be short term happiness, but never last for long term. What's your life's meaning, what are you living for, what makes you happy and feel energetic to do something? Life's a kind of injuries that can never heal, life's kinda of illusion that we don't know which is real and life's a lie we tell ourselves to go on living, to love ourselves and others. What do you think? Please share. Hope there will be those positive and strong enough friends make me enjoy life again.

Hi lynette byc, Life is very strange but there are people who loves you and if yoy have children, well that should make you happy anyway, think of the people who are so alone in the world no children, husband, mother or father, brothers or sisters, just alone in the world but they are happy to do thing for other people and getting love back in return, when people hurt you, it is very hard, but pick yourself up and start again and if a man hurts you well its their lost and they aren't worth, no man is worth the pain.

I agree that if you have children it should make you happy. There is definitely a satisfaction to that. There are people who are alone and I feel bad for them. You seem like a caring and compassionate person. Sometimes a man can hurt a woman emotionally but a strong woman can pick herself up and start over again if she really wants to. You can find love in the blessings you have in life right in front of you.

Hi Lynette, I try to wake up each day with a child like enthusism and have no expectations of what the day will bring, that way it becomes an adventure rather than just another day. It is so easy to question and wonder what it is all about but happiness comes from within, not from what is happening in life around you so have a think about what you want and if blowing bubbles in the park will make you smile, go do it. Have some fun. Life stuff won't change but your attitude can and it makes the life stuff more bearable. Huggles. Ellie :D

After reading your discussion it seems that you are hurt by something.So you are writing and thinking like this. LIfe is not injuries that can never heal, but it is a teacher which helps you to grow stronger and better. Yes sometimes when we cannot bear the pain, we think like this. But be positive, whenever you feel low think of the wonderful things you have. Make a list of all the things you have. You think of being blessed for your parents, friends, children if you have, for the job or atleast be happy that you are alive. Show the attitude of gratitude. Thank God everyday for what he gave u and what he is giving you.Happiness cannot be searched outside it is an inside job. If we put a condition to our happiness that is I will be happy if I have..............Then you can never have happiness in your life. Be happy and feel blessed for everything you have and be thankful for that. Life is so beautiful.Look at the lotus in the pond not of the dirty surrounding it.Hope you will make a list of all the good things you have and wipe out all the negative thoughts. Watch this video in youtube.com THE SECRETO TO YOU and let me know about your afterwards feelings.

lynette, dear friend. You must be undergoing some difficult time and that's why you feel a little low about life. Every person has such moments and become lost and thinks life is meaningless. I have experienced that and I am still not out. I recalled the past days that I were so happy and confident and energetic, all because I have my dream and I want to do things that I am interested. So I find out what I really like and can do it well and now for me, it's just to change a job though maybe it will be very hard as the ecnomic crisis and my current job pays high. But I don't care, I will still go out to get the one that I truely love and that's the source driving me to get up in the morning and also the meaning of my life. Lynette, you need some time to think things over. Honey, you can make it:D

Hello lynettebyc. Life is what you make it. In my life, I am more than ninety five percent positive. I look at things in a positive way and that is the very reason that makes me happy. This is what I do in my own life. I wish you happy and free from worry, dear friend.

There is so much beauty in life, look around you at the nature, hear the birds singing the squirrels and animals running around, gathering harvest for the winter...that is beauty and life in one, it is happiness and freedom, this where happiness is too, you can find that happiness in your own life by setting free the things that hold you down and depress you, those things are all negative...try to see life in a different and more beautiful way...then you will see be able to see that love, happiness in all things you do and learn to love yourself too...blessings littleowl

Hello lynettebyc, Any person can be positive and happy, if she only thinks life the positive way. NNever ever let any problem puts you down. Enen though it is almost the ene, we have to find remedies ia any aspect. In that way you will be able to carry yourself lightly to this world. No one can handle yourself but you. So as to have a happy life think it always the positive way and you will be able to witness to yourself that you are indeed a grat survivor no matter how hard the liofe is. And for that you will be able to live a happy life.

Well i find you holding the tail of an elephant and saying that the thing is not strong. its like that. life is in what we perceive. i don't know the root cause of ur feelings. when we laugh, we feel that the world is laughing. and when we are sad we feel that the world is full of sadness. it is the way human perceive things. u need to give up this and look at life with a smile. it is we human who have the greatest assets on earth to live a better life. we have to enjoy every moment of it and make others around us enjoy their life as well. that is how we can live happily and bring a meaning to our lives. so just give up this thought and think that you can make a difference in someone's life. this will give you the energy to live life with energy and enthusiasm.
