What is your reason to stay alive and carry on with your life?

'No reason' also counts.

My Visa charge card. I can't do anything until that's paid off.

If I was asked this question a year ago, I would say my family... for my mother most especially. Lately, I felt that my reason has changed. I am starting to feel that I do not like to live for anyone or for anything anymore for once they are all gone, I might feel the need to end my life.

I have recently been searching for a (new) reason that which is permanent but will keep me changing... evolving towards a better perspective. That which will improve the quality of my thoughts, my life and what I know about myself and the world that surrounds me. A voice tells me to hold on for today and find things when I wake up by tomorrow.

Whatever that is, I do not think I can give my reason a name or a label. I just know that there is more to life... that I just need to be patient and be surprised when the moment comes. In the meantime, I would like to stay strong because everytime I look at my dog's eyes, I know he needs me to take care of him.

You want to keep your life going and stay alive because some people have meanings and some people don't, for the people that don't think they have meaning, well every life has a purpose and you should stay alive to find out what that purpose in your life is.

Our interests and behavioral dispositions are as unique as our fingerprints.

Even within a family, one’s way of being happy may not be the same with another. One, for example, may find that he is happier when he is in a contemplative mood and his twin brother, steeped in group laughter and fun, may find solitary disposition rather boring.

We notice that the differences grow bigger when one has to deal with people from other cultures.

Humans are free to do what they want, without this freedom there could be no morality. In such a case, no basis for what could be deemed as good or bad behavior in the eyes of a God because without freewill we would just be pre-programmed unable to change or alter what has already been laid out in front of us. There are only two things certain in each one of our lives, we live, and then we die, everything in between is up to the individual.

Hard determinism only clouds the mind if we are enslaved to thinking we are free, then those who believe that they have no control over life are going through life making decisions based on what they perceive as pre-determined. To say we have a path set for us is to make us no more than a robot, and because robots cannot discuss topics intelligently and cannot act intelligently in situations proves that theory wrong.

We all have identity each human individual is unique even twins are different. Our minds are just as unique as our fingerprints

Every child is born with a unique set of personality traits. Ask any
woman who has given birth to two or more children and she will attest to
the fact that while still in the womb her children showed marked
differences in their behavior.

We are all individualistic, meaning that we are all different in thinking.

Our minds are as different as our finger prints -
no two are identical. Palmistry also says the same
thing. Every human is unique. Not only do our
organs differ, but our personalities differ. Each
human develops different goals, and has special
traits or feelings which differ in a million
different ways from others.

Significant differences exist between the male and female brains. Although what follows has been meticulously gathered from the research and writings of leading scientists and psychologists, it is by no means a hard and fast rule or description of every man and every woman. Every person is different and unique.

That every person is unique and has an intrinsic worth.

I always had big hopes and dreams. Now when I am grown up, 23, and life turned out to be something different from what we were taught, and it made me banish all my hopes and dreams from my head and see bitter reality around me, I decided to go with flow and don't care about things at all. I decided to taste any kind of sick pleasure and experience things that would be provocative for anyone. I do not care about my innocent soul anymore. When I die, I just die.
