What’s the point of life.
Other creatures don’t ask that question
So in some ways human beings are cursed.
Cursed because they recall the past, cursed because they imagine a future,cursed because they can think at all.
What’s the point of life.
Of course other creatures think, but they think mostly for survival.Humans think because we don’t know how not to.Indeed thinking is the root cause of all our suffering.This cannot be argued.Suffering is not pain.Suffering is what our thinking adds to pain.
What’s the point of life.
Animals break limbs all the time so they know pain but they don’t add suffering to their pain.Humans break limbs and omg suffering follows…..I can’t drive,I can’t swim,how can I do this or do that…..damned fools.
So back to the point
What is life?
It’s not looking backwards or forwards that’s for sure.So it must be knowing you’re alive in the present moment and if your living in the present moment you can’t suffer.
Because suffering is all in your mind.Just like these words.

Born of salt and earth’s long breath,
thought drifts in layered shadows,
questions rise like slow blossoms
fractured, rooted, wild.
Pain breaks the skin’s silence,
yet thought strangles soft light,
weaving thorns from whispered fears.
Return, then, to the bare pulse
where stones forget their names,
and air folds into the body’s
quiet hunger, breathing here
before time untangles itself.

Yo, you wanna know the point of this whole thing? It’s messed up, ’cause we’re the only ones even asking. Animals? They chilling. They just trying to eat and not get got. But us? We got the curse.
We’re built different, man. Our heads won’t shut up. We got the rewind button always playing old mistakes, and the fast-forward button spinning out future disasters. That thinking, that’s the real problem. That’s where the suffering starts.
Peep this: Pain ain’t suffering. You crash your bike, you break your leg—that’s pain. The dog breaks its leg, it hurts like hell, but it deals with the pain and moves on. You break your leg, and suddenly it’s a whole movie: “Man, I’m screwed. How am I gonna work? My summer’s trash. This is the worst.” That whole stress? That’s the suffering. That’s just the garbage your brain is adding to the actual injury. It’s all in the narrative, son.
So, ditch the rearview mirror and stop trying to plan next week. The point of life ain’t in the past or the future, ’cause those aren’t even real right now.
The point is being here. Being in this second. If you’re locked in on what’s happening now, you don’t got time to be miserable. The noise stops.
Bottom line? Suffering is just a head game. Life is just this breath. Period.

What is that you have spent time in writing this, did it relaxed your mind atleast? what is the point of having pen in hand, few people used it for Nation and inspired many. But i dont see you are any way helping people. But it is hurting so many. I see you a waste of your life to live.
Write something which helps like a dying soul to relive, a hardworking going show a path, but dont write for a evil mind to hurt more.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
🙏
