Why is it worth living? What if you don't have many/any people in your life? What if you have no life (i.e. career, parenting, friends, etc.). I know technically I can only answer this for myself, but I'm curious to know what keeps other people going?

I don't life is worth living in a vacuum. I do not believe there is any intrinsic value in life. But once you are here - then you have to make your own purpose. As adults it can be harder to make friends but not impossible. It takes a willingness to go out and take risks. One can have hobbies. I like to dabble in things myself. Right now - hiking (new body parts so excitement over moving again). I take the dogs to agility and sheepherding, I bike, I cook, I volunteer to sort through donations to the large immigrant population we have flooding in right now, I volunteer at our local barn animal rescue = that sort of thing. I find it fills the day in pleasant ways. Which in my world, for life to be okay, is enough
