I don't mean to offend anyone and I'm not even sure this helps in any way. Its just my personal view. I find that in general those who have the necessary intellect to be aware of the global dynamics of our world have it much harder to feel like life is worth living. For people who have both, a brilliant mind and a big heart its excruciating to deal with everyday matters, like the ignorance and self-centeredness of certain people, injustices or watching high-level decisions being taken based on greed and power instead of the interest of the people. Adding to that the knowledge about matters related to our limited time here and our vulnerability, its nearly impossible not to get depressed. Sometimes i think i would be better off if i was indifferent of the feelings of others around me and only focussed on myself, instead of worrying for the fate of others. I might have an easier and less painful life then, but this is not who I am. For me what makes life worth living is for one thing continuing to learn. I am here now and until my mind stops working I want to take as much as possible out of this life. I want to understand how various things work and how they are interconnected. I want to keep improving and growing as a person and keep surprising myself of how much I am able to achieve. Maybe one day I can pass my knowledge on to other people and help them with that. Which brings me to another thing I find that makes life beautiful..helping one another. It feels so good to make someone's life a bit less painful by giving them support or just listening. One of the most magical moments for me are those where unexpected friendships or connections are established between two seemingly totally different persons. Those are the things that make me keep wanting to continue to try every day..
