it is short because nobody can know when death comes to steal his life. the most important thing is know what exactly are we doing here in this short life. they’ve no sense of life because they don’t know what they’re doing in life…. There are millions of people who have the same feeling right now and reach this page at this moment. If that’s so, I invite you to awaken your emotional life through action.Ĭhanging the way you approach the world may change it. Maybe when you write “human experience,” you mean experiencing your feelings. What is it? Can it be achieved? How can you go about doing it? Perhaps your life’s purpose is to discover what is meaningful to you and then to manifest your meaning by helping others find what is useful and meaningful to them. You say you have “no real human experience.” I’m not sure what you mean by that, but if there is some particular experience you are lacking, then this would be a topic to discuss with a therapist.

I applaud your “going on-ness” and it’s a good start, but remember what Henry David Thoreau wrote long ago: “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” I hope you pursue and find your song and sing it. You write that you “put a smile on” and go on. Having had the privilege of a good education, you have much to offer your community and the world. I don’t know what kinds of things appeal to you, but find something you like that will enable you to contribute to our world and then do it. Maybe you could tutor, garden, or help out at the animal shelter. You write that you are privileged and have no purpose. Such doings may include, say, yoga or art or sports or music or, maybe best of all, a volunteer activity that will exercise your compassion. There are a number of ways to deal with depression, including, depending on the individual, psychotherapy (talk therapy is helpful), medication (in concert with therapy), body therapy (yoga therapy or some somatic therapy or mindfulness activity that you find to your taste), and participation in doings that have nothing to do with work. Based solely on what you have written, you sound as if you might be depressed. Does that sound trite? Maybe, but the truth is often so simple that people overlook it. I say that with a smile because I think if you get out of your mind and into the rest of yourself-body and soul, for example-you may feel less lost.įirst, I’d pursue a therapeutic relationship with someone who will help you lose your mind and find yourself. So the antidote might be to get out of your mind, if you will. You seem very much in your head, sort of like having an “out of body” experience of sorts. I don’t suppose it’s much consolation, but you describe your situation very well-lost in your mind, indeed. I’ll put a smile on my face, brush my teeth in the morning, and continue going to work, but what can I do to shake this feeling of no direction, no purpose, and no real human experience? Please help.

How can I have so much of my life figured out and still feel as if there is just no point to any of it? Is this all there is to my life? Do I have another 40 years or so of paying bills and then a cold hole in the ground to look forward to? I know in my mind that I should be thankful for all I have at my age, but I just can’t seem to shake the feeling that I’m wasting it all as a worker bee.

I know I’m privileged in comparison to most of the people in this world, but it’s mostly material privilege. On the surface my life looks great, but I feel a sense of hopelessness when I think about my life’s purpose. I’m fortunate enough to be born into a situation where I have a supportive family, I was able to graduate college with an engineering degree, and I have a good job with benefits.

I’m just treading water trying to stay alive. I’m 28 years old and these days I feel like I’m floating in the middle of the ocean with nothing to grasp onto and no shoreline in sight.
