I know so many write about the meaning of life, but very few talk about wanting to die or the action of feeling lost alone and worthless. These feelings are also valid, and you may never get over feeling worthless and alone. I know many who are thinking and feeling this way and it scares the many who say they love you. If people knew that saying “how much you have to live for” means nothing to the person on the other side of life and can only wish for death.

Feelings of hopelessness, inadequacy, and a lack of purpose can cloud our judgment and lead us to believe that our lives are not worth living. However, it is essential to recognize that these moments of doubt are a natural part of the human experience and do not define the entirety of our existence.
One of the primary reasons why individuals may feel that their lives are not worth living is a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction. In a world that often emphasizes material success and external validation, it is easy to lose sight of our intrinsic values and passions.
I will scream to the universe so all can hear it, GET HELP, FIND A PROFFESSIONAL TO TALK TO. When we feel disconnected from our true selves and our deepest desires, it can be challenging to find fulfillment and satisfaction in our daily lives. However, it is crucial to remember that true happiness and meaning come from within and are not solely dependent on external achievements or societal expectations. This is why the words like “it will be ok”,” you have so much to live for” these phrases are so damaging to the person not seeing life and only sees death like a light to their darkness.
Moreover, societal pressures, comparison to others, and a constant bombardment of unrealistic standards portrayed in media can also contribute to feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. The relentless pursuit of perfection and an unattainable ideal can lead individuals to believe that they fall short and are not deserving of a fulfilling and meaningful life. It is essential to recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and comparing oneself to others only serves to diminish one’s own accomplishments and potential.
I Paul W Dyer has also seek death at one time in my life. I till this day think of death as a close friend. We talk, I ask questions and I get answers, not solutions. Why, because I understand the light of death, and death knows my name and calls me friend.
The Quest to Answers: Existential factors can also play a significant role in driving individuals to seek death. Questions about the meaning and purpose of life, the nature of human existence, and the inevitability of death itself can provoke deep existential angst and despair in some individuals. In the drowning of the mind, we only then seek to ask the question what is the meaning of my life? Sometimes in despair wee ask questions that have a deep dark secret that we are unable to answer until the fog of death clears for a moment. To know when that moment is like a meteorologist being right on a snow prediction.
Seeking death is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that can be influenced by a variety of factors. While the desire for death may seem counterintuitive to the basic survival instinct inherent in all living beings, it is important to recognize that individuals who seek death are often grappling with deep emotional, psychological, and existential pain that leads them to believe that death is the only viable solution to their suffering.
It has been said that “death is not an answer, but a solution”. The idea of death has a lure to it. It shines brighter than the stars often looked at. The star light of death is a gateway for healing and safety, but what it could never be is love and the feeling of life.
