I keep wondering why my life turned out to be so hopeless and miserable. Did I do something in a past life and this is my punishment? Is it bad karma? But then karma has never made sense to me. If you murder someone, and karma decides you then need to be murdered to pay for that, it requires someone else to commit murder so you get your karma. The cycle would never end.
Is the New Age idea that we choose our lives before birth true? Do we choose everything that will happen to us in advance so we can learn something from it? Or is that just cope?
Are we just evolved pondslime who mutated into humans by chance and none of this means anything?
Why is life so incredibly awful for so many people?
Honestly, I find this more uplifting than all the karma and Christian/New Age bollocks. If this is true then at least my suffering will be at an end one day. If Christianity is true, I’ll burn in hell one day. If karma is true I’ll have to live a million more shitty lives. I’d rather it all just be over.
Glad it could be of solace. I have the same feeling tbh. Made a former friend cry about it years ago when she was freaking out about there being no afterlife. I told her “exactly, and that’s good because it means that eventually the suffering will end!”
