When things dont go our way and it falls apart out of our control it feels like there is no purpose to life..

    You know, you only get one go-around for sure. Life is to be enjoyed and savored, living each moment to the fullest.
    Heaven or hell are not guaranteed, nor is reincarnation, but you do have this life. Don't waste it!

    Yea it is because there is no meaning to life. The Universe doesn't give a shit about you.
    The only way you can have meaning is if you mean something to someone else.

    That's how I feel anyways.

      To add to that, I would say that WE assign meaning to things, and not the other way around. I think it's easy to lose a sense of purpose if we feel something or someone other than the self is responsible for it.

      We create our lives and our reason for living. No one else.

        I never thought of it like that. But its all an illusion, an idea by humans at the end of the day. there is no meaning to anything

          That's definitely one way to look at it. You could also ask why we are here then at all, if there is no meaning?

          I believe we are here to learn how to choose and to choose how to learn. It is a game..an illusion if u want to call it that. But I believe we choose to be here and play the game.

            I don't think there's a reason for humanity's existence. I think were just a product of evolution nothing more.

            But if there ever was a reason it would be for us to find comfort or happiness in life. Learning might be one way to find happiness but certainly not the only way.

    You can't help what you feel. You have to address feelings not oppress them. It's completely normal to feel lost at times. It's not normal when we let that feeling consume us. And it helps if you're a religious person because I could go off on that whole argument. But for the general public here's my advice, if you feel like you have no purpose then accept it as the universe giving you a clean slate and go find a new purpose that will bring you happiness and meaning.
