Is life worth living?

Question

Is life worth living?
Im n ot depressed, rather just being realistic. Think about all the things we have in this life. Competition, materialism, hate, diseases, accidents, problems, injustice, corruption, confusion, so many things, and in the end, no matter who you are, how much money you have, or where you live, youd have to face some kind of hardship or another.

Answer

wonderful question!brbrIm not being sarcastic either. That is what most people deep down are really wondering. Sure people can say they quotlivequot for something weather it be god, money, love, a job and on and on. The largest majority believe they have to be quotgoodquot in order to move on to a better afterlife. brbrThat question brings up so many other questions as well. brbrShould we give up after getting this far?brbrIs there really an afterlife and will our actions here have anything to do with what it might be?brbrI think that life can be what we make it. Personally I believe we need to stop letting others tell us what life is media, propaganda, monetary system...all that nonsense and make our own little spot in the world to simply live and put behind all the structure thats building up around us. Problem is the world is becoming increasingly small with industrialization and technology. There are very few places left to get away short of dying. Of course nobody truly knows what happens when we die except for those who already have. Its nice to think of a happy place waiting for us where there is no pain, no worries and endless bliss. I dont think it is that simple however. The story of Jesus for instance was written years before he was supposedly born. Only at the time everyone regarded the story of quotMithraquot as a myth and only a myth. When it was retold the religious leaders needed something more legitimate in order to control peoples lives. Now its not just our parents or the church or the government that wants to control our lives but practically everyone wanting to control everyone elses lives simultaneously. Some are a little more proficient and determined then others.brbrThat is the largest problem with life. The control factor. If we could break away from that need to control others and let life happen as it should it could be heaven on earth.brbrPerhaps the afterlife is also what you make of it. Just as this place can be. So if you get there and believe its a horrible place then your mind will make it a reality. Maybe people have to take action in the afterlife to make it a better place just as people have to do here. If no action is ever taken then nothing will change and well be prisoners of our own conciseness allowing an outsider to tell us what reality is even though they dont have the answer themselves.
