Why 'is' life worth living ?

[Anatta]

Kia Ora,

Life is very persistent [just like me  ]...Even when you might want to give it all up, it has a habit of slapping you in the face and yelling "Wake up and smell the roses !"

For me, it's exploring  the unknown qualities of life that makes it all worthwhile...

So how about you ? Why 'is' life worth living ?

For me it's a mixture of the extraordinariness of the ordinary... and being bloody-minded .

There have been a few times in my life where I felt like taking myself out of it. But once, a wren landed on my shoulder, and that was enough to keep reminding me that I'm welcome here.

Plus for me, the ultimate revenge on my abusers is to be happier than them and live better than they did - so I'm sticking around to see what happens . Lovely things happen often enough.

Oh, and my personal motto is keep on taking the small risks.

Kia Ora,


Whilst happiness and sadness tends to come and go - Life remains persistent and ever so consistent ! That's another reason why I love it !

I view life in Nietzschean terms. Life is to be endured until one can't anymore.

Kia Ora Emma Mc,

I can't 'endure' it anymore, so now I just 'enjoy it !

I think that applies to pleasure and pain, but I think happiness is something different. A side effect of living well, not a goal to be striven for. I can be very happy in the midst of my own pain, if I meet it the right way. Just how it seems to me, but it's one of the things that's keeping me on the side of life.

This is why,

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

I am finally free to be ME!  That makes life worth living.

Kia Ora Padma,

Happiness for a sadomasochist is both 'pleasure and pain'  ....No wait, I've fallen into my own trap  this would mean because I'm happy/content with life I must be a sadomasochist...Oh well, excrement happens....So be it !

[Padma]

Well, that's okay, we clearly each have our own definitions. Words are coarse models.

Kia Ora Ms O,

Again, what a wonderful response....

Life is to move from hope to hope and to find something bigger than your own small concerns to plug into.

Pretty good, got myself a decently cheap rent in a house with friends in the area I work, so I feel settled. Something close to the idea of home.

The writing creeps on, I finished reading the novel I finished in Easter and find my stuff to be far better and more satisfying than I expected.

I'm spending my spare dosh on old books from ebay - just got a Goldsmith from 1794 for under a tenner.
It's all pretty good - hope to hope, you know.

You?

Kia Ora Pica,

That's great news, your interests stay interesting, life's just flowing along nicely for you...A book that old for a tenner, what condition is it in ?

As for me, can't complain, life is sweet, it's the same old, same old, as well as well can be-riding the waves of contentment, avoiding the dumpers, that's just life for me....

Some time ago I wouldn't have been able to answer this or then I would've just babbled about something scientific etc (because I'm a science freak who doesn't believe in something as deep as the meaning of life, lol).
But ever since I started T and especially after starting the full doze, I have been feeling like I'm finally alive altogether. I can finally really grow up physically (because that's not gonna happen mentally!) and be who I've always wanted to be. It's a damn nice feeling.

And how fitting, I'm listening to BIGBANG's "Still Alive" when I'm writing this.

Kia Ora T s,

And 'a damn nice response !' you have been rewarded.... I have also sworn an oath not to grow up mentally...Can you tell

It's interesting. There's so much to learn and experience.
