Why Life is Worth Living

There’s something so special about the human condition. I don’t know exactly how to put it into words, but even if you’re down and out, you hit rock bottom so to say, you still have the perspective that you’re experiencing the beauty of struggling.

There’s a balance of light and dark.

You’re reading this because either you’re seeking a new perspective on living your life or you’re worried that I’m unstable. I’m not unstable, I’ve never been happier, and thanks for caring. Life is hard though, and being callus toward those who see mostly in the darkness isn’t acceptable, so this is for you.

6 Good Reasons to Live:

  1. Food – you can’t taste anything when you’re dead.
  2. Poetry – profound words can encapsulate anything in the universe and make it beautiful.
  3. Art – other people have felt the myriad of emotional torture you and I feel; go relate.
  4. Animals – unconditional love from the earth’s own fellow creatures, remember you’re apart of this ecosystem.
  5. History – don’t you want to see how this civilization thing plays out?
  6. Love – friends, family, partners, spirituality the only thing that matters, the source of all matter really; everything reproduces.

There’s something so special about the human condition. I don’t know exactly how to put it into words, but even if you’re down and out, you hit rock bottom so to say, you still have the perspective that you’re experiencing the beauty of struggling.

When you perceiver through the struggles of the human condition you’ll be a new version of you. When you’re stuck in a difficult place in life, faced with some heavy emotional weight, always take a moment to zoom out.

I like to think of it as sitting on the moon, looking down at my little earth life.

Get outside your head and see it through fresh eyes with empathy for the fragile human you are that has to deal with the results of a collection of experiences that were shaped by uncontrollable forces in this lifetime and thousands upon thousands of past life times.

Take a look at history, this exact moment is the result of some wild decision a general did or didn’t make on a battlefield somewhere hundreds of years ago, you’re apart of that right now.

I wrote this for you. Yes, you. Living through a pandemic is not what any of us wanted, but it is a fact of life, and a unique, strange and suspicious experience. If you’re struggling with uncontrollable depression, anxiety, or paranoia reach out to someone and tell them.

We’ve all been there, in the deep dark muggy corners of our self loathing minds, it’s not uncommon to feel depressed, suicidal, and hopeless. Just remember that there’s people you can talk to about it, and if you can’t find anyone or feel embarrassed or ashamed like we’re conditioned to feel about these dark truths, message me on Instagram @kyleknob, dial this number 800-273-8255 for the Suicide Prevention Lifeline or leave a comment below.
