We don't have a problem on hand right here. We have a problem on hand in other threads. BTW if you say life is what meaning you make out of it, won't that m...

Life is Precious SG

To all those who might feel depressed and lonely for whatever reasons and feel like ending their life....

Please dont.

Life is a treasure not to be easily discarded. It is not unwise to also realise that life is indeed fragile as well.

Be it your frustrations at work or relationships, time is the greatest healer of all wounds both emotional and physical. In the greatest times of stress and troubles, simple actions like getting enough water and sleep can help one rejuvinate the body and mind. Always remember, you can always find a new job if you are unhappy with your current one. You will always be able to find love from another be it someone else or a pet. But to take your life at the fit of the moment would truely be sad, if not for yourself but also those around you. Hence the motivation to live can be as easily expressed in these few words:

Live to see another day, another chance to learn and enrich ourselves.

Just like no child can hate their parents forever, we must understand that we are never really alone and family intruth is the most important asset any person can ever have, be it a family that you belong,create or become a part of.

I hope in these few words, i can help bring some relief or comforts to those who may need it.

The mountain of troubles is huge when looked from the bottom. It is only when we climb to its peak that we are able to see the vastness beyond the mountain and the beauty of the sky and all manners of wonders under it. And hence despite the many other mountain of woes that may present it self in your journey, as with each breath and step you take, thus your life is enriched through your experiences.

Yeah.
Life is indeed precious.

I once tot of killing myself because I thought life was meaningless due to me being lonely and stuff. But I think over it and think it's stupid to kill myself because of that.

Seriously killing urself is silly, there is more to life than what you are doing if you feel lonely. Just find your interest and you won't think of killing urself anymore.

Life is Precious SG

No i though of it while finishing off at the end.

Personal experience can be the greatest of all teachers. But only if you allow yourself to learn from it.

Eric Cartman SG

Why is life precious? Why do you want to enrich yourself?

gingerbreadman SG

Wah.. im feeling pretty down and i saw this post...
quite encouraging i muz say..

Life is Precious SG

Why is life precious? It can be comparable to as to why water is precious. Even when we know its aplenty around us and is important. Yet we may at times fail to realise or forget that it is limited and should be used wisely. Similarly, most of the time we take our lives and those around us lightly without much thought about it yet we fail to see that like every drop of water that is important to the sea, every human life is precious even if hundreds, if not tens of thousands lives lost everyday around us for one reason or another.

But of course i dont proclaim any universal truths, but merely saying what we may already know but perhaps forgotten at one point or another in our lives.

As for using the word "enrich" in this sense, it can actually be replaced with what your sense of purpose of life should be. We as humans use a limited form of communication through words to try to understand each other thoughs but it is subjected to defination and hence misinterpretation as well. Feel free to replace the specific word with something you precieve as more appropriate.

I hoped i have answered your questions.

Eric Cartman SG

Water is only precious if there are lives. So why are lives precious?

ifish SG

very true

Life is Precious SG

I am glad i was of some small service, be it a small encouragement to lighten your day.

Sorry for the double post.

Eric Cartman SG

We only want more people alive around us so they can share our work. See who’s gonna care about you if you’re useless.

I shall try to answer your question/notion with another quote

The Masters of old are often asked why they speak in riddles if they ever hardly speak at all?

One replied: "Shamed is the teacher who says nothing and let their wisdom die with them yet worse is the teacher who says too much and ruined the opportunity for the students to arrive at their own enlightenment."

Good luck.

Life is the only chips you can have to betting that things would be turning for the better in time to come... If you think you deserves to die because you're miserable, upset or anything like that... Then you're just the one who has thrown your own chips away.. Being unfair to yourself... Rather die a miserable man than to give yourself that 'chance' you deserves...

Why talk about a sad world or life being unfair if you're really the person being unfair to yourself...?

Do you really think the fact that you've not seen and experienced enough.. ie. more on the happiness and bright side of life warrants you to a death sentence?

Devil1976 SG

Then it's just because you've yet to meet those people who have dedicated their lives in service for the others... Doing things which they need not have done, and asking nothing back in return...
