I'm getting really sick of this world. Any methods of coping?!
Question: I'm getting really sick of this world. Any methods of coping?
there really is no point in this life, especially nowadays, but to get tortured by other people who are f8cked up and suck, and to get tortured trying to lead life if you can even call it that here on earth.
Sure some may be succesful and you can have a pretty cool and happy life; my life isn't bad by any means, but the day in and day out of witnessing humanity act like a f8cking jerk, and just realizing how pointless and scr9wed up it all is, just...gets to me. It really does. I want to c09mmit suicide, but the only thing keeping me from not is a possibly irrational fear of hell, but ANY God that would torture a suffering man like myself in hell for all eternity, just because I can't put up with this world's BS< is a F*Cked up god who I won't worship, because that's just sadistic and evil.
So there you have it, even if there is no God, or if there is...it's all just f8cked up.
If there is a God, then you have to fear punishment and all of that other stuff, which if you add on TOP of the stress we already have to face in this life alone, multiplies it and makes it suck even harder,
and if there isn't, then all of this torture for what? for nada. abslutely nothing.
So there. I'm siick of it, and well...nothing that can really be done.
Any methods? I've tried it all.
Answers:
Hi there my friend, you have asked if there are any methods of coping. Well, I can suggest, but it's up to you to accept my suggestions. Since you seem to be having your own idea of God, I hope you haven't made up your mind about Him because that would hinder how you are going to be helped, and your question would be in vain, except maybe to vent your frustrations and ventilate.
I have only one suggestion, and that is to invite you to visit the websites in my profile. Yup, call it advertisement or evangelism or whatever, but hey, if you are free to share your views here, so are we free to share too. :)
The world is as bad as it gets - from time past until today. Is there anything new, you ask? Yes - His mercies are new every morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23) The question is: Do you want to know Him as He really is? :)
God bless you, my friend.
Stop whining and suck it up like the rest of us. And if that doesn't work, i hear people kill themselves.
You sound like me. I've done all the drugs and alcohol and self-mutilation. I think some people are just more sensitive to the fact that life is HARD. But the thing I've found most helpful is to find something to live for. It can be anything as long as it makes you happy. For me, it's my boyfriend. We've been together for six years and he's my best friend. Gives me a reason to wake up in the morning. I figure if life has awesome things like being able to love people, it's not all bad. Good luck.
Do you know Hamlet's soliloquy? It begins:
"To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous fortune;
Or to take Armes against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them..."

I'm not mocking you -- it is a dilemma of long standing.
You might try the study of Buddhism, which does not involve any sort of God.
I get these interesting readings from Tricycle.com, the Buddhist review.

Open Your Heart
Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It’s a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs.
Pema Ch?dr?n, "Stay with Your Broken Heart" (text at http://www.tricycle.com/brief-teachings/…
It's the world, and you are part of it, and your heart will always be broken if you let it. All around you, Hamlet is reciting his soliloquy, though William Shakespeare has been dead these 400 years or so. And my heart is breaking for you, my friend, at this moment, because I have been where you are, and in a way I still am. Some of my healing comes from this site and writing to you.
