Do you have a reason for living ?
What is your prime motivation ?
Perhaps some love to enjoy the company of family and friends and eat, sleep, travel. some may want to be Kings and Queens and others Singers and Dancers.
Some may have commitments and a handful may be living to help others. It is good to have a goal in life.
It is said that life is precious and should not be thrown away. Wasting time has been seen as wasting life and wasting opportunities. But no matter how we live we should try to achieve the goals we set for ourselves.

Darkness is the absense of light.
Perhaps in some cases we live because we are afraid to die.
I think dying is basically losing connection, like the internet failing. In the same way we are not "connected" to a lot of other worlds/planes and thus we are "dead" to those places

because drowning oneself is an impossible act . 😆
What is your prime motivation ?
My parents , they have provided me a treasure by just existing , and the things they make the purpose of existing is a different field altogether . So making them happy >>> summing up altruism😆

yes , I live for me too , secondarily 😆 so finding MY way to ME , in an ambiance of the established constitute much of the life .

precisely , the key to me being happy is because i've never let me manage a dozen of broccolis in a single day , because i want to live 😛




which reminds me , what does it mean by ' I dont have a reason to live ' ? A person has to be incarcerated to think he's got no thing to do . but i see , healthy , capable of employment people saying drivel like this . perhaps , they should check the accessible magazines which speak about the million humans , fighting cancer - Reasoning to live .😊

My reasons for living...
1) I want to experience all that life has to offer and there are so many experiences that I haven't had yet.
2) I love and enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
3) I hope to have a loving life-partner with whom I can grow old with and with whom I can watch our children grow older.

the technique to discover and achieve one's purpose in life would be readily available like a cookbook recipe or something !?! .Just sitting, doing nothing, climate will change,the spring comes and the grass grows by itself...but doing something is our habit!!!...so sitting quietly is actually very difficult...life is a question of doing?? or is it simply a question of being!!?!!

Ek pal ka jeena, phir to hai jaana
Tofa kya leke jaaye, dil yeh bataana..
Khaali haath aaye the hum
Khaali haath jaayenge ...

It is nice to have a nice family and people who appreciate you.
Life is a constant motion, we keep moving up and down based on our mindset and thinking.
We are lucky if we are born healthy and able to lead a peaceful life, because so many people are caught in all sorts of trouble and suffering.
They say life is a journey and an opportunity for the evolution of the soul. The soul in fact is already perfect but entangled in delusion and desires, so these have to be slowly removed. Of course it is easier said then done because we are sentimental and emotional too, we have lides and preferences and a great hunger for much of the things in the world.
I guess a balance of both the material and spiritual is what we humans need as too much of either one may cause a short-circuit !

Yes in sharing our lives and love we grow richer.
There are many things we may never experience unless we have friends, family and children. Love is perhaps never complete unless we return the love we have received so far.
Although I do have love, still I am unable to love deeply enough. At times music does help us to feel love more deeply.

Life indeed is a long dream from which we hopefully wake up one day. Perhaps we are all still asleep and have lost contact with our own soul.
yes we can quietly reflect on life in silence but soon the sun shines again and it is time to get up and finish our karma.
Yes it is good to catch up with friends and family because who knows next day some may be missing.

My reasons for living keep changing. I was living yesterday because I couldn't die before watching the latest episode of Supernatural. I am alive still because 'The House of Hades' finally arrived at my doorstep via flipkart today. I'll be living until I finish this book, am done watching the latest episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Downton Abbey. Then, it'd almost be time for the next episode of Supernatural and I'd have ordered a new book. So, that's how I roll. Also, I am afraid that if I start looking for bigger reasons of living, I may find none. For, all of us live because there's love and friendship and more importantly, family in our lives. But all these aspects of life, all these people aren't enough to keep me going after a point. On the other hand, the things I have mentioned above are, so what the hell, right?
