Why does life on Earth seem like a nightmare?

You know what, I completely understand what you're saying. I've been waiting for someone to ask this. And these other people just don't want to admit that life on Earth is a disaster. Just face it. It's the cold hard truth that our society has become simply outrageous! (I'm not referring to every person on this earth, don't freak out on me.) Ever since all of this modern technology and whatnot has come out, many people have lost sight of what really matters; friendship, love, and getting along with others, not the brand new iPhone 15s and Starbucks. I think you sir, deserve an award for this question. And anyone who feels the opposite of me and this person and wants to be rude about it, go right ahead, make my day. You're simply proving my point even more. Sorry, I really don't have a good answer to your question, but you are right! People need to open their eyes...

Hmm... Hang in there it will get better. :D...

I would get a S.A.D. light, it sounds like you have depression.

Also, are you an alcoholic or have an addiction of some kind (alcohol, food, sex, etc...)?... Because looking to something outside of your self to help you will never make you happy and will keep you from your true source of happiness. Life's bumps will come more and more then and you will never think of creative ways to help you. I believe that you stay here so that you can be refined. I honestly would like to see shiny happy people in heaven, and I think it's the case.

According to my meditation, this is karma, and it's karma you collected from a previous life. You can only shake karma by looking upwards, having a past satguru or the present.

I was being honest when I said "this will get better", b/c either a good karma will come along, it inevitably does to keep us afloat. But, right now, it sounds like you do not have an anchor.

In short, let go of the temporary things you're using to cope, anchor onto what is permanent. And, perhaps take in an AA meeting.

Then you'll see the shore. Btw, I agree the above 'tough love' response, "you're negative", anything you use to keep you afloat will make you depressed. I used to be majorly depressed. Other than getting a S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) light, I would take up yoga on TV, if you have any habits (any at all), look up a program (A.A., S.A., AlAnon, ACA, N.A.), they have face to face as well as phone meetings and you can meet a lot of people likely just like yourself, and when I went vegetarian, 75% of my depression lifted. If you're doing the right things, you will not feel this way!

Not really, the media does not show that everywhere on Earth has extreme weather, natural disasters, riots, wars or other serious troubles.

Unpleasant things happen at certain times of the year and at certain places.

The best approach to make life more pleasant is to move to a better geographical place if things are not going your way for years, decades. Get family and friends support. Since you are a positive-minded person, this should be possible. Life always has changes, hope and opportunities; and Earth is really a large place. Blessings and hope your life turns around!

Here's an idea, a few actually:

1) Shut up

2) Quit being so emo

3) Open your eyes

This world seems so bad because we people live on it and evaluate that which we know.

Secondly there is kindness out there maybe it seems few and far in between but it's out there actually there's a lot out there. If you're so depressed because kindness has withered away from the capacities of humen beings then why don't you do something about it one or two random kind gestures.

(1) It beats life on the other known planets, but if you don't like it here, try living on the moon instead.

(2) You're the very definition of negative.

(3) You might need to get out more. There is plenty of kindness in the world.

(4) Talking, wishing, complaining or praying changes nothing. If you want a positive change , do something about it. You'll receive more kindness if you give more kindness. It isn't the world that is the problem, it is how you relate to it that is the problem.

Life on Earth feels like a nightmare because you're sad; you're sad because you're disabled, have few friends and don't have sex. Therefore, in order to become happier, you just need to find friends that can give you affection and support. This is very difficult a task when you're sad, but it's necessary.

Many people are happy. You can be, too; you just need friends. If you think they won't be able to stand you, you're wrong; that's your sadness getting to you. I agree with another poster: be kind to others, and eventually (not at first, but eventually) they will be kind to you back, and then you will be on the road to a happier existence.

Live and learn in this dimension, you'll eventually get to the others. Even if you see it as cold and depressing you can still learn from things. View things from a third person, your soul is just floating through the physical :)

I see lots of kind people are living sadly, because on this Earth admit or not, kindness is regarded as foolish or retard personality. Every body wants to live life to his/her own fullest however the competition for money and success is so fierce and bloody. Always the bad people who cheats will win this bloody game. That's why kind people are sad and they do not have the "skills" to cheat...

I think, It is Better to Make Ourselves to LIKE and LOVE the COLD or SAD, Because, We are NOT ALONE, We are with the PROCESS of the NATURE, So, Just Leaving It to the NATURE, Without Worrying It and LOVING IT as the MEMBER or the PRODUCT of the NATURE, Which has the Ability to Absorb within "ITSELF", So, I am HIDING "WITHIN the NATURE".

It's only depressing if you make it that way. Look at everything from a different side. They only put bad things on the news because people love drama. If you open your heart to the universe you'll feel it's love and peace
