I am not a religious person and I see life as being just an opportunity to experience being alive by random biological selection. I think we should be happy about it and feel lucky to have life and do the most we can because there is nothing after this life. That's all it is. At least to me.
I use to be more cynical and I couldn't even think of any reason why to even care about life because I do believe there's nothing at all after so what's the point? But I prefer to see it as just an opportunity to experience being alive and making something out of it.
I am far from satisfy from mine and I am struggling terribly with anxiety and emetophobia so I wouldn't say I am making the most of it and I am not happy but I believe my goal is to achieve a form of happiness and be contempt. I want it so badly. That's all I want from life. Hopefully I can make it and get free from all those fears.
You don't have too be grateful if you don't feel like it, it's up to you. But you can choose to be grateful for simply having this life and the opportunity to try to make changes that could lead to your happiness eventually. It's not easy but you have your lifetime to try to make it better and learn to like and accept what is. To me the pursuit of happiness even if I am not happy right now is already something to be grateful about because you might as well never have this chance. I prefer to hold on and try than hold on to my misery and give up.
Life might not have any particular meaning and it's okay, it's just meant to be lived, do what you like and enjoyed this ''opportunity'' of having a life to live. I used to be concerned with the meaning of life and I was depress because I couldn't find the meaning but I came to the conclusion that the meaning doesn't have to be really deep. It's ok to just enjoy life or at least try to enjoy it and be at peace with it.
I know it's really hard and I personally am not happy and in a really dark place right now too, hopefully it will get better for you soon.

Life is the gift from god, every man woman and child should embrace every moment because this life only comes once. But I also believe in the afterlife wich was promised from jesus if we follow in his name and the father.
I have consider the same thing many times now I am sixty nine and I consider Life is a form of School where we are put here to learn and correct any problems we had in past lives.
Life is a journey, If we die or Take our lives we will come back on earth to learn the reasons why we have done what we did before. Natural Death we are set aside and talk about we had done that time around, we are then given time to rest and reborn once more after discussing what we wish to achieve next time around.
The World is like a University or School where we pass examinations and get qualifications in life
Without reading the other responses, life is the physiological progression toward death; at face value, this may seem shockingly bleak, but you don't want to be one of those face-value people, DO YOU? Of course not. Quite frankly, that's not how humanity was designed; we were all born as doers and dreamers, exploring boundaries, internal and external, only to destroy or overcome them. On the random occasion curiosity actually DID kill the cat, humanity shrugs and mutters, "Kitty shall walk it off." (Grim, I know. And for the record, I love cats... the animal, not the movie.) Bottom line is, there are numerous things possessed of life, such as trees. Trees are content to live out their existence in a single place. WE were never meant to be trees. If by this point, you're STILL not feeling empowered, imagine me grabbing your shirt by the lapels and shaking violently, then inquiring why I had retrieved one of your shirts to do this thing. If you MUST have an explanation, simply know that, THAT SHIRT had it comin.
What is life about? -> it isn't about anything. That's the naked truth. There is no meaning to life and there is no purpose, everything is just human invention.
That being said, life is too long not to participate in it. The happiest people are the ones who have purpose and who have passion. Finding way to share your greatest gifts and sharing your skills with others so that this world may benefit from your existence. If you are not helping the planet, the animals, the nature or other people than you are in the wrong career.
Contribution is one of the highest values a human can have however most of us have lost it and we sold our souls for money to corporations.
At least that's my take on life. But like I said, essentially life isn't about anything and there is no meaning to it. it just IS.
Hi,it’s my interpretation on the meaning of life..seeing new life bloom in springtime
I stopped trying to figure the meaning of life a while back. Trying to figure it out for me, perhaps finding a specific purpose, understanding people, etc... but hard times can break a persons spirit, Im not religious, so its pretty basic for me now. here is where I am with it....
I wake, grateful I’m still here, make the most of my day, all to do it over again tomorrow. I smell the roses, sit in awe when I see a rainbow, I look up in the sky when the space station flies over my house, hug my grandchildren, snuggle with my pets, eat things I shouldn’t from time to time, laugh at the news, hate my weatherman when he says it will sunny and it’s not. Laugh with my husband, he gets my jokes, I keep him around...
my point is enjoyment, when the end comes, it comes. That’s all I got, this was pretty heavy on a Friday morning question. I need something lighter now. 😜
Life is exactly that....you live this life however it is laid out for you. You make choices...good or bad. You have no control over anything really outside of that, life just happens. You can choose to be miserable and unhappy, and our disease contributes to that feeling when you’re on a down swing, but when you’re on the upside of it...you can be relatively happisher. I don't think a day goes by where my illness does not affect me, or my past abuse effects me....but I can still have a life and still grow towards feeling the best I can. I am not a defeatist. Some days are a battle..but we can always beat this. I have something to live for now....someone who loves me now,...and it took a lot of hard work...... it was worth it. I'm always going to have this disease, it's always going to kick my butt some days....but then I start living again.
I believe as many have said, that life is a gift. It is truly a precious gift from God. Yes, it is mixed with wonderful to horrible to everything in between. But, I still believe it is given to us to live to the fullest. And that's what Jesus promises, that He came so that we may have abundant life. Since I have given my life over to trusting God, even in the hard times, there is abundance. It is easier than it was when I was trying to doing it all on my own.
Part of trusting God also opens up the relationship piece. We were made to be in relationship with Him, but also with others. I believe every moment in life is about the experience and who we experience it with. Each person we come into contact with is an important part of what our life is.
Thanks for asking such a great and deep question. Hope you find the answers you seek! You are so loved and appreciated too! HUGS!
I believe life is a lesson. I believe we have many lives and that our souls are eternal. This “lesson” I speak of consists of many small lessons we experience throughout our lifetime. At the end of life we go to the “other side”. I can only speculate what happens there as I don’t remember. Some people can, just like some people can remember past lives, but I don’t possess that ability in this life. I’m not a religious person, but I’m very spiritual and I feel close to “God”/ our guardians & guides & angels. This is just my take.
