: : : My ultimate desire is to die and kill myself because I see no reason to live.
: : : Before I do it, I was wondering, what *do* people live for anyway?
: : People live to be happy. All goals are set because the person setting the goal thinks that it will make him happier. Any conscious action is done because of a conscious need for happiness or less unhappiness. Even deeds done for others' benefit are done because the doer feels good about other people being happy, or feels good about his or her righteousness and moral strength.
: : You are unhappy; my guess is, dying because everything seems useless appeals to you because it is an escape from unhappiness and because it makes you feel a little better to think about doing what you see as logical (you see dying because of everything's uselessness logical).
: : I may be wrong, but that's why I think that dying appeals to you.
: : My advice is, do what makes you immediately happy. Masturbate, if that doesn't depress you further. You like to sleep; sleep. TRY to be happier; think about being happy, and what that feels like, and try to feel it again. Don't LET yourself be depressed; I've pulled myself out of depression a few times by just asking myself if I really wanted to be depressed, deciding "no", and just making myself happy for no reason at all.
: : Please respond to this; you haven't responded to the other posts, & I am afraid you have already died.
