Are there any real reasons to go on living?

  Purple V, you're my kind of person -- a chocoholic!

  Dear Robdar, I am so sorry you're feeling this low. However, I can think of lots of reasons to keep on living, some of which include chocolate, but my most compelling reason next to the kids is this: to see what happens next. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, but it's rarely boring and usually I learn something.

  Go find a sunset to watch. Go explore a bed & breakfast in a remote location you'd never think of. Call a friend. Volunteer at a hospital's Neonatal ICU and hold some babies who need to feel human touch. Life is precious. YOUR life is extra precious to me because I know you and like you very much!

  Love & hugs,

  Nina

  For me there are many reasons........mainly my husband and my children. I am out having fun, even in things I never enjoyed before ,like yard work.

  I love the thought of the new day beginning and wondering what will happen,,,,,kind of what StinkyPantz said,,,,,,,,,,,,,just to see what the future will bring.

  There are so many people to get to know, so much that we can do for each other.

  There is still so much I am only beginning to learn about myself. I enjoy that, now that I have the time to just be lazy and watch a movie I have never seen,,,,,,,,, Like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,,,,,,,,,,loved it.

  I really don't have a list of exact things I want to do before I pass, but I know there is so much I havent even touched the surface on. Things like beliefs, history, new ideas, and I havent even begun to leave my legacy of a million pictures in boxes that need to be put in scrapbooks with notes and thoughts under each and everyone of them. I plan to do this when I am home bound in my wheelchair one day.

  Robdar,,,,,,,,you have a lot to look forward to ........all the little things that we as JW's never had the time or the want to, to look into.

  Hugssssss and hope you get to feeling better soon. Don't let yourself fall so low down in a whole you can't get out of it........if ya need to vent or talk , email me. I am a pretty good listener.

  This board seems to be a microcosom of human belief (with an ex-jw bent)... Just put up the topic "Life after death", or "Is there a God with a Plan", or anything related to spirituality and unvariably their are numerous responses indicating many, many diverse opinions. With so many people having such strong beliefs (or lack of them) that alone would be an incredible incentive to hang around to find out who's opinion might be halfway right. If there is a Master Plan to all this seemingly chaos, then it would pay to figure it out or at least be on the quest to do so. If there isn't, and we're just on a waundering orb that is out of control we won't know that for certain, until the end, uhhh...well, I guess we won't know anything, so sticking around to find out seems to be the most advantagous and logical answer. Besides, life isn't that bad if you don't take most of it seriously, look it square in the face and give it a few raspberries now and then.

  On second thought.... Chocolate alone is a real reason for me.

  Well we used to chat online quite often and you promised me a dance if we ever met up at an apostafest. It'd be a miscarriage of justice to be denied even the possibility of that happening.

  I think like that a lot.

  When things are going bad, you do get like this. There will be a brighter day, man. I don't know when, but It shall come.

  Double edge,

  That's the problem. Why start looking? Man has been here who knows how long with the brightest men on the planet......who haven't got a clue what life on earth is about. The possibility that someone has it figured out is nill. All one can do is pick something they like the best and follow that........or face reality and realise man hasn't figured out life..................yet. This conclusion makes some feel they really have no purpose here.......they were simply a statistic.
