For a long time now i have felt numb, i have plenty to be happy about but i can never seem to be happy for more than a day. most days i feel detached from the world or i often feel like im in slow motion and life itself is on fast forward. everyday i feel like theres unanswered questions that need answering but the answers cannot be found. i feel as if though ive seen what life and the world is about and it interests me very little. the rat race has consumed me,

you shouldn't worry about what life and the world is about. That aspect has and will never change. I thought just like you but you need to put a full stop to it, as it's not going to help you move forward with yourself or your life. We are here to add a positive impact to someone's life, where ever that maybe but not to expect anything in return because helping others is not all about us. doing voluntary work is one way that someone somewhere will benefit from your kind effort and work. helping a friend when they ask to put a smile on their faces or easing a particular burden on them. Even gardening has a perk about it. a seed in a pack wants to grow to see the day of light and blossom. that seed can't do it or be free without your help. in return they greet and thank you with colour and fragrance.

I over came my similar issue to yours that if the world is selfish and ignorant then don't be like them, be different. I've not let my career dictate my life but to only use it to aide my fulfilments/hobbies/interests in life. they maybe boring to others or deemed unnecessary but its time i've allocated to my enjoyment. I did 1 years worth of charity work until I got a job and continue to do some Samaritan and this changed my view that i had to something different, more positive and rewarding. If the world is the way it is then it's not my fault it is that way and if I can make a positive impact on just one person's life then that's worth its weight in gold.

hope this helps in some way
