For all of my friends who are feeling down,

[sintri]

It has come to my attention that a few of my friends have been facing some difficulties with life lately.

I'd just like to say a few words regarding my perspective on life.

Don't give up hope. There are good times ahead.

Things may not seem like they are making sense for the time being. Things never have made sense, and they probably never will, at least as long as we live. Life itself is an enigma; something given to you by another person, yet taken away at any moment. Giving up on life because we'll all suffer the same fate of death is purely paradoxical. If you truly hated being alive, you wouldn't have been born in the first place.

I guess the only advice I can offer is this;

Live to strive for happiness and achievement. You never know what's waiting for you on the other side.

I'm not trying to sound spiritual. I just want to see people get along with each other without having to worry about whether or not they're going to be accepted by their friends, graduate from school, get a job, have a relationship and have sex.

Of course, this isn't going to happen. You may as well enjoy life while it lasts. This is why life is an enigma.
