>>38611331Can be a bit of a drainer, can't it?
I'll be upfront anon, I don't know you nearly well enough to give the kind of pick-me-up speech that I like to give to my friends when they're down about this sort of thing, and I won't pretend to understand the throws of your daily life.
That said, I can offer my own perspective on life, and maybe, hopefully, that'll resonate with you, even if just a bit.
Life's meaning is what you make it, right? So whether it's worth living is a tough one to answer, because it's something you have to figure out for yourself.
In that sense, I get it. This reality isn't the one you feel at home with, and it can be crushing to think about one where'd you be happy and have it seem like such an impossibility. But, and here's the idealist in me speaking out, humanity's ingenuity is an amazing thing, and plenty of times it's for the better.
I mean, do you think people in the 1940s, coming straight out of the hellscape that was WW2, ever thought we'd be landing on other planets, let alone in less than 25 years? Now they're talking about putting a base on the moon by 2024, and a home base on Mars in 2025. I still can't get over that.
We've developed things like quantum computers that used to be a make-believe idea reserved for science fiction and we've put lasers on ships, and that was 5 years ago!
So, maybe things aren't so bleak after all. If we can do all of that, maybe we can do the rest, too. We're only getting better, our understanding is only growing larger.
The way I see it, once you give up on life, you take all of your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations, and you guarantee they'll never come true for you.
If you stick around you're giving those dreams a fighting chance to come true, right? You can work toward them, you can give yourself meaning even if only for the hope and drive to make those dreams real. Maybe it turns out and maybe it doesn't, but at least you were around to find out, at least it wasn't for a lack of trying.
