Is the only reason to live the fact that you mean something to someone else??t
If that were the case I would have had no reason to live many times in my life. I have never been in this situation since having kids, but prior to marriage i was an ultimate loner. No friends, or even acquaintances unless you count people who serve me in shops. The opportunity to improve your situation is certainly a reason to live.
Yes,I would have checked out long ago,if it wasn't for family needing me
What are the reasons for living? Have a good time while it last? A doctor one told me that life is a terminal illness. We don't owe anybody anything. A guy wrote a book saying basically that there is as much evidence that there is a God but he is bad as there is evidence for an omnipotent God that is all good.
I live to do my mission. But I work hard to remain as healthy as I can so my family doesn't have to worry so much.
