Is the only reason to live the fact that you mean something to someone else??t
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.
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.
Yes,I would have checked out long ago,if it wasn't for family needing me
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.
