Im really stupid. Im at the level of a 12 year old. So theirs no chance of ever being succesfull for me now, im screwed. It seems like theirs nothing worth living for in this world. I hate the way the world is. People always do cruel shit to each other. LIfes one big competition, theirs the strong and the weak, if your weak you screwed. Some people believe in a afterlife. Im sure their isnt. Life sucks then you rot. But what if their was? I think they would suck too. Heres a few of the most poplular ideas. Lets see if they are good or not.
Middle eastern religions like catholic christian and muslim believe in heaven and hell. So their will be billions of people and animals in hell I guess. And a few people who believe in a certain book will go to heaven to be an evil gods servant forever. I think any smart person would realize how horrible stupid and sick this belief is. If it were true life would be much much worse.
Reincarnation. You finally get out this shitty world then you come right back as something else. What would be the point? YOu lose all your memorys every time you die so you never gain any thing. It would be a pointless cycle.
Then of course theres the realistic death. Where you just ceace to exist. This seems to be the best of the other ideas. No more pain and no evil god.
Either way every single one is horrible. Life is horrible. Death is horrible. Existence is pointless.
first and foremost, i find your post interesting because at one point in my life i used to think exactly like you, unitl i found out the error in my way of thinking.
you can't say you are stupid (maybe you did something that is but that doesn't mean you are all stupid; we all goof up).
you can't say that you'll NEVER be successful unless you can see into the future (prophet). you can't tell what tomorrow will bring you.
there is something worth living for - others. not ourselves. thats at the cornerstone of the point of existence. people all around you need you. you have alot to offer. Einstein said we start to live when we can live outside of ourselves.
'People always do cruel shit to each other'
- a man shall reap where he sows.
- you get exactly what you give
-what goes around comes around
-for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.
'evil' people, above all, came to teach us forgiveness. forgive and you shall
be forgiven.
'LIfes one big competition, theirs the strong and the weak, if your weak you screwed'
-right, but also, to whoever much has been given, much will be demanded. Work with what your maker entrusted you with. start where you are. appreciate what you have. you are also 'stronger' and more competitive than half other humans in the world and they also have a right to say it isn't fair.
the most important thing is that you you what you have to strive and not live like the rest of the pak by playing the 'big competition game' and living
unselfishly for others. work hard for the sake of others and you will be happy.
I promise you. even the big cats (strong) think they are screwed and relatively weaker than their counterparts. its all relative. e.g poverty in africa and wealth in NOrth America means the same thing to me as health to you and sickness to many others(weak) in the hospital. do you ever go to visit them? then you are also in the competition mode like the rest of humanity if you don't.
Forget religion. We are all children of God and he made us to be like him (image). we have to strive to get here whether you are a muslim/christian/jew. work on improving your character to be god-like. God is not mean, we are just paying for our bad karma. Hell is right here, and we will continue living in it until we stop living self centered pleasure seeking lives and think along the lines of 'loving our neighbour as we love ourselves. i don't mean to sound religios but you touched on the subject first. God did not make one religion good and another bad. just try to be like mother teresa (if you can) and you'll make it to heaven regardless if you are an etheist or religious. its all about your character. not your religion.
Reincarnation...who cares if its true or not. i just try to live my life in such a way that if there is anything like this, i won't have to come back to this earth to learn any more lessons. by the time i die i will have developed a character good enough to join with the light. these are MY beliefs. and i try to do this by working hard for the benefit of others, not being self seeking. like Jesus did. though i'm still far from this yardstick. use your free will wisely.
about ceasing to exist, i used to wish there was an option like that until i found a reason to live. but that seemed a very good option for me. no heaven, no hell, just not there. but i can't do anything about whats done.
and God is not evil, we are just too selfish and self centered and there fore we get from the world what we give. we use our free will mindlessly and then blame God of the consequences we incur. is this really fair to him? every action has an opposite and equal reaction - every hurtful action to others brings back its kind to us. good thing it also happens with good.
