I'm pretty depressed at the moment. Why do you bother continuing to live in a world as corrupt and ugly as this?

You cannot have beauty without the ugly, light without the dark, happiness without sadness. Good times, without sorrowful times. I believe our spirit beings chose to be here, for this very test to ascension. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER6uv2xtuCg. Look inward, and improving your self, helping others will come natural, and eventually you will become the change you wish to see in the world. Hope this helps, a little.

Peace and love!

Wow, that really helped. Such a moving speech and I was ready to hear it. I felt my heart get a little less heavy. Thanks so much x

I'm glad, and you're welcome, mate, truly. I wish you the best, and always know, you're not alone in this. That is what TPTB want you to think.

You're awesome u/Putin_loves_cats.

Namasté

Well put.

Always dropping truth bombs!

In tribulation you will find oppertunity... The "harder" it gets the more oppertunities there are. For every action....

Hang in there.

Tryin to make it a little less sucky.

God woke me up first and made me a hero of ragnarok.

Because if you do, they win

This makes life more interesting.

Be strong! these sick fucks would want you to feel this way!

Because every thing can't be controlled. A strong person wasn't born that way, they walked through trials and tribulations to shape who they are today. Life isn't fair and survival isn't for the weak.

My secret is that I always have a ticket to some awesome event in my pocket. "The world cant end until my Run the Jewels concert in February" lol.

After RTJ concert..."The world cant end until Amnesia Rockfest in July 2017"

I just keep it going year after year of concerts, festivals, nhl games, nba games. The kind of stuff that makes you forget about the bullshit we are witnessing day to day. When you have something like that to look forward to you sort of aim to get there.

To add to this, material items are just not worth it to me. I put all my spare money towards having fun. Good memories are great for your overall well being. Travel, party, do drugs, do whatever the fuck you want because...YOLO for real. As Killer Mike said....

"I came here to tell you dont let them tell you what's right/wrong Smoke kush, fight, laugh hard and live long That's the antidote You defeat the devil when you hold onto hope 'Cause kinfolk life is beautiful And we ain't gotta die for them other men And I refuse to kill another human being In the name of a government 'Cause I don't study war no more I don't hate the poor no more Gettin' more ain't what's more Only thing more is the love So when you see me Please greet me with a heart full And a pound and a hug

Thank you, I think I'll try that :-)

i seriously get you here. I nearly had a nervous breakdown when i finally "awoken". I started to question everything about my life. My memories of school became so...scary (saying prayers and singing the national anthem every morning, having a set slave labor schedule, get told when to eat, when to use the bathroom, when to wake up, when to go to sleep...)? Feeling like I've been lied to for my whole life. I got this strong feeling of "What is the point anymore?". At that point you think about loved ones and they may or may not make it all worth it, everyone is different. If they dont make it all worth it then you need to find something that does. indulge your passions. Fuck what anyone else thinks, do you. Even if it means doing it by yourself. Want to travel to Amsterdam but got nobody to go with? Fuck it, go yourself. Basically be true to yourself always and what these sick fucks have planned is a lot less worrisome because at least you had a good run right? lmao.... ; ;

Probably for the same reason you do

Because the children.

This is the best answer to this question, RIP Leonard Cohen https://youtu.be/6wRYjtvIYK0

Thank you :-)

Good and evil exist in a perpetual balance. As the world gets darker, somewhere in the world light is becoming brighter. It's up to you which you choose to be a part of.

I would rather grasp reality as it is than to persist in a delusion, however satisfying or reassuring.

That being said find happiness in the small things, do things for yourself and don't get too wrapped up in the abyss, view the absurd as exciting

I don't think the world is ugly. The kindness of strangers I have received, has given me a positive outlook on people. I feel obligated, in a good way, to keep hope alive. Which really matters most when it's hard to do so. Don't let them get you down, you keep doing your thing. Get a thing if you don't have one. I tried a moustache for a while, but settled back to music.

Embrace the chaos. It's the only way for me.

I live for lulz

Why do you bother continuing to live in a world as corrupt and ugly as this?

Because it seems we don’t have much of a choice at this point. It seems we are not sufficiently evolved yet to keep ourselves from continuing to be taken advantage of and enslaved by whoever/whatever is being responsible for making us reincarnate over and over again on this rock. It seems the key is to evolve your internal self and abilities, life after life, until you are developed enough to no longer have to keep coming back here.

I couldn't have said it better u/putin...

You see, that's what they want you to feel... They want to break you down .. become hopeless and in return have to rely on them for everything.

Have faith and truly believe we can change things with our open conscience. One of the reasons why our government keeps us divided is so we can't come together as one and show them we can really achieve whatever we put our minds to.

Like a group of army ants or bee's their one function is to protect the Queen. The only way they can continue to have a hold on us is to make us believe we have no purpose here and break through to our strengths

As long as we come together and help each other out they have no hold over us.. Peace

As others have said: Good and bad are part of a greater movement, the dichotomy of is and isn't. We cannot lose because we chose to be on the side of life.

You are asking the right questions just remember, thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

"I think you are looking at it all wrong. See, there you used to be only darkness. It seems to me like the light is winning." - Rust

I'm an atheist. When I die I believe I'll be exactly what I was before I was born. Non-existent.

So I'm going to enjoy and experience as much as I can before I return to nothingness.
