Is life horrific and unbearable for everyone? Is achieving your goals nothing but pain and suffering?

[Anonymous]

Why? I thought that normal people enjoyed life. Enjoyed to work on their goals.

I didn't think everyone was like me. So depressed that I'd rather starve than go to the store. I enjoy literally NOTHING. Every day is another day of feeling like trash.

But I suppose everyone lives like that, at least, according to the motivational stuff i see.

It seems like no matter what a person is doing they are suffering greatly to do it.

I didn't know the baseline was suffering. I thought a lot of people enjoyed life and wanted to do things and enjoyed things.

But supposedly since everyone suffers so much just to do the things they love, that if I am not able to work 24/7 I am weak.

I am weak not because my life was worse and I suffered more.

I am weak because every person who is alive is suffering greatly and still living a great life anyways.

Is your life great and how much do you suffer for it?

I used to feel exactly as you just described, perhaps even worse. Everything changed for me once I invited God into my life. The comparison before and after is frightening!

But regardless of belief, even reading out loud scripture daily, will slowly bring you to a much better place. When you realise how significant you are, that you are the only creation made in His image, and you learn about all of the promises waiting for us (many don't know they exist to even claim them), then you start to see yourself through how he sees you and that changes everything. But further more, you may start to see other changes in your life. But I don't know your belief so can only tell you my experience. One can live within a cursed world, while abundantly blessed... and he can use this blessing to bless others. For Greater is He that is in me, than he, that is in the world.

I can't with the God stuff because there is no reason to believe that the biblical God is the real God.

I HAVE been learning about it but the more I learn the more silly it all becomes to me.

I've been an atheist since I was a little kid.

I feel like I'm too smart to believe in God, unfortunately. Ignorance is bliss and all that lol.

I don't know. I have an extremely high bar of evidence or something.

At rhe end of the day it's about faith. There is nothing that could ever convince me.

And I see no reason to have faith. It all just feels silly to me.

Those who wish to keep you from your true potential and a life of peace and blessing want you to continue believing exactly what you just said!

I spent most of my life as a non believer. Also, when you see miracles of healing and I mean a lot of them... you start to notice how not one of them is ever on the news or covered by the media, but every time a person is assaulted, robbed, or stolen from (kill, steal, destroy John 10:10) it's on the news for all to see.

The guy giving his reaction in the following video used to be an Athiest as well:

You said you see no reason to have faith but judging from what you said above 'So depressed that I'd rather starve than go to the store. I enjoy literally NOTHING. Every day is another day of feeling like trash.'

That is how I, and many others used to feel before having faith, belief and inviting God into our lives.

In response to this comment 'There is nothing that could ever convince me.'

As long as you don't invite God into your life, it's more likely that there won't be anything to convince you, but I could be wrong.

The short below is also from another that used to be a non believer. Note what he says:

If God wants me to know than he would know what he must do to prove it to me.

The Christian religion is silly as well but I'm not going to have a debate about it. The more I read the Bible the more silly it becomes.

I just think low IQ people need it.

exactly anybody with a modern understanding of how the world works scientifically, philosophically, and historically can't seriously believe in any religion as truthful, especially the Abrahamic religions that insist they're real and every other religion is BS

[bingbongbangbung]

Yeah just like you I also have depression (or at least that's what I was diagnosed with along with other conditions). Sadly at the end of the day, you have to go out of your way to end your pain/suffering; while others can help you, if you refuse that help there's nothing they can do.

Thanks for MHO

My life and my husband's life is great, and we do not suffer.

[Asker]

Good. I'm glad that some people don't have to suffer to have a decent life.

I suffer a lot but life could always be worse.
