Hi Canis Lupus,

I can relate to what you're talking about. I'm a non-believer myself, so I understand how difficult it is to find reason in living life. I frequently struggle with this concept myself.

Personally, I don't bother trying to understand why we're here on Earth anymore. I won't ever be able to answer that Q. I stick with focusing on what I'm going to do while I am here. What is it that can give me some sense of enjoyment and peacefulness? Nature is the answer for me. It's an escape from the politics and baloney of human life. Not that all of humanity sux, it doesn't, but there are a lot of triggers that bring me deep into depression. That's why focusing on trees, animals, waterways, etc brings me a sense of peace.

You may want to check out the Skeptics chat forum ~ to get more input from those who aren't religious & see if they have any advice for you. Best wishes to you!
