Life's BS.

[Tbine]

I really hope that all the struggling, sufferings, tears and emotional pains that we all go through in this life is for " something" even if it's not in this lifetime. I guess that's something we'll never know.....

[Roxylox]

The awful thing is a lot of the emotional pain is inflicted on us by others in a lot of our cases. It hurts me that there seem to be so many unkind people in this world, certainly in my world.

In my case, none of it is physical just nasty name calling and misjudgement l regularly overhear about myself. It cuts like a knife, cos its so unfair and so untrue

[Tbine in reply to Roxylox]

Sorry you have to deal with such a deep level of ignorance where your at. Because you have to remember that is exactly what it is,. Nothing more. To believe in any of that nonsense will only lower yourself to their level, and you cannot allow yourself that.

Thanks Tbine , you speak the truth. I vety much appreciate your reply

I do believe that there is a life after this and all these experiences are helping us to grow and become better suited for the eternal life that God is offering us. I hope this does not offend anyone here but if this faith is not true then some might think I wasted my time. But I did not because the lessons I learn such as how to be patient, how to forgive, how to treat others better, help me to get by everyday with a hope for a great future. And these somehow heal me back in return. Now, if my faith is true, however, then I think I just made the greatest decision for myself having accepted that promise of an eternal life.

[Tbine in reply to Alladin]

I agree. I have said to non- believers in the past " even if i am living in a huge delusion regarding life here, and to where i hope I'll be going when i die,. then no harm is done IF that is the case with me."

I think about this all the time. That there has to be a reason for the struggles.

As a Christian, I believe we are put here to tell more people about Christ so that we can see as many people as we can in the after party. Christian theology has all kinds of answers to the question of why life on earth sucks. So to do other theologies. Naturally my life and exploration has led me to follow Jesus. But Tbine do explore matters of faith, your post suggests that is the best place for you to search out answers.Prayers friend.

[Tbine in reply to SirGrits]

Thank You for your reply,. And please take no offense to my questions because as i believe, my questions derive out of ignorance as to the "why's" of existence. I believe that your answer is only partially the reason but not the Only reason to my question. I have not studied theology but do believe in " intelligent creation" ie. Jesus Christ. I also believe that many things including creation will always be up to individual interpretation. I am a extremely open- minded individual and give consideration to all. I do believe that many questions regarding our existence here are meant to be simply explained away and unfortunately will only be truly realized after we depart from this place.

Hey Tbine, at the risk of sounding preachy I'll add this idea to my previous comment. While differing theologies have their own explanation on why life on earth is toil; there can only be one answer. We humans don't get to write our own rules, our own purpose. If earth is like an aquarium, we are not equipped to understand anything on the other side of the glass. We exist within our time, use it to find the answers you seek. Often the answers are right in front of us. My mental health journey has led me to journalling. The most accurate way to sum my journals over the past 5 years is "answered prayer". Godspeed friend.
