Why do humans live

Kuunori-sama
I can't find meaning in being alive. You're tired of relationships and life, aren't you?
It may be difficult right now, but please take care of your life.
Even though my head wants to die, my body is trying to live like I want to live.
Put your hands on your chest. Can't you feel your heart beating?
There are no wasted lives in this world. You have also been able to live your life with the support of many people up until now.
Your life isn't just about you. It belongs to people who care about you.
People who have gone through the suffering of life and death have more compassion for others than anyone else.
Why do people live because they value that feeling? Please survive to find it.
The Buddha never abandons you and is watching over you.

Just being born into this world as a human being is a huge miracle.
If Kuunori lacked even one of her ancestors to be born into this world, she wouldn't have been born ^_^
For example, there are about 100 million ancestors from 25 generations ago.
Kuunori wasn't born if that one person was missing.
So isn't it a miracle that Kuunori was born?
What's more, aren't you really lucky to have been born in Japan?
Japan is still a rich country from a global perspective.
I wonder if a humane culture is rampant that is too rich and is useless without goals and objectives!
Originally, I should have been thankful just because I was born (it's difficult to have).

As the saying goes, every absolute thing changes even if you don't like it.
For now, just being alive will change for better and for worse.
Isn't it okay to just feel that change first and live your life?
Just because you have a fixed concept that nothing good will happen to you, good things may actually be rolling around right around the corner.
Everyone has different standards for what is good!
I don't think you'll know the results until you've lived through life.

You may discover something as you just live your life without thinking about the meaning of a difficult life.
However, rather than living by thinking “I want to die” or “it's boring,” the way you look at the world until now may change even if you just live consciously while thinking “I wonder if there are any interesting things ~”.
Humans seem to be creatures that can look at one thing in as many different ways as they want depending on their consciousness.

First of all, please take good care of the life you've been given once again and acknowledge yourself. Acknowledging yourself seems like the best way to feel happy.
I also feel like I'm being scolded for “if I can do that, I won't have a hard time.”
I think it's okay to try living “for now.”

There is originally no meaning for people to live.
What do you think about “the meaning of insects living” and “the meaning of plants living” on a daily basis?
Originally, there is no point in living in every living thing. All living things other than humans don't think about “the meaning of their own lives.”
But they all live in Gamshala. There's no point in living, but once you're born, you have to live with the intention of dying. This is a biological instinct.
Also, every living thing always has an impact on the environment around it, regardless of whether it is aware of it or not. We can't live without animals, plants, and insects. However, such animals, plants, and insects do not “live for humans,” but as a result, we humans are being kept alive by such animals and plants. Everything that has life is not “originally” worth living for. Because there is definitely death for all living things. Therefore, all things are inherently equal.

Your life is yours alone. You have to choose and decide.
It's easy to die. But if you think, “Should I die in the end,” you should be able to take on any challenge. Don't look for the meaning of life in the outside environment. You are the only one who knows the meaning of your life.
Leaving offspring isn't the only meaning of life. If so, there was no point in Jesus, Saicho, or Kukai living.

When you live until the end and give answers to your own life, it is the trajectory of your life.
The meaning of life is not something that can be presented to others, and the life itself you have lived becomes the “meaning of life.”

Nice to meet you. My name is Kameyama Junshi.
I don't know to what extent my answers will be useful to Kuunori, who is very worried about life, but let me give my own answers.

My self, who has attempted suicide many times, is “really an unfaithful parent.” If you say that, you actually think you shouldn't die.
Therefore, those of you who say “there are people in the world who really want to live” are people who really want to live.

Buddha abandoned his family and became a monk in search of his own life. In other words, the meaning of life for the Buddha was not to leave descendants. Why do we, who suffer from the four tribulations of “life, old age, illness, and death,” have to live while suffering? That's because we “want to meet our true self.”
So what is your “true self”? It's “who I am.” “As it is” means to say “as it is.” “True truth” in Buddhism means “every phenomenon is impermanent, and every being is selfless.”
In other words, “I want to meet my true self” means I want to encounter that I “am impermanent and selfless.” Then, where there is that encounter, wisdom is born, and mercy (heart of compassion) works.
That's why I think there is a meaning in our lives where we live in search of that encounter.

　“Life is an adventure trip”
This is from a line from “Massan,” which was broadcast on the NHK morning drama series a while ago.

I used to be depressed, and now that condition has been reduced, but it's still going on. When you're depressed, you don't want to watch TV either. Somehow that makes me feel so uncomfortable. What about Kuunori? is it the same?
In that respect, NHK is fantastic. The tension is a little low. I don't feel bad watching it. Try Kuunori too. I was only watching NHK at the time.
Meanwhile, I started watching the morning TV series. 15 minutes from 8 in the morning. If you miss it, it starts at 12:45 p.m.
After 15 minutes of this drama, it “continues” at a good point. I'm worried about the next one, so I wonder if I'll continue watching tomorrow. I'll watch the next day. There are new developments. It means “continue” at a good place again.
Life, like dramas like this, isn't always full of good things, but it's not all bad either. “What will happen next?” If you look at it objectively, aren't you wondering if you should try living a little longer? It's not just such a bad thing.

About 30 years ago, there was an anime program called “Dr. Slump Arale-chan.” This work can be said to be a successful work by Akira Toriyama, who wrote “Dragon Ball.”
Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to the opening song “Wai Wai World” of this program, and among them, there were lyrics “I wonder what's going to happen, I'm looking forward to it.” (Incidentally, the lyrics were not written by Akira Toriyama)
Thirty years ago, when I heard this song as a kid, I didn't think anything about it, but when I listen to it again now, I think it's an uplifting song.
I woke up in the morning and thought, “What's going to happen today? If I thought “I'm having fun,” I thought every day would be a fresh feeling...

I've written a lot, but you and I are on an adventure trip. It may not have answered your question, but why don't be too pessimistic and continue your adventure!

Oh, it's a good idea to read the novel “I'll Sell My Life” by Yukio Mishima once. It's a story about a man who attempted suicide trying to sell his “life.” I wonder what happens at the end, I'm looking forward to it!

The title words are those of the French philosopher Rousseau.
※This may not be a Buddhist answer, but...

I've had questions similar to Kuunori in the past,
The time I thought so was when I was stuck after leaving college several times, and when I didn't know how to “act.”

Isn't Kuunori not sure how to “act” now?
Isn't Kuunori losing sight of her familiar goals and objectives?

It is said that they are going to the hospital.
I'm not a doctor, so I don't know anything specialized,
First, how about setting specific goals that are familiar to you?

For instance,
・I always wake up at 6:00 in the morning, brush my teeth, and always eat breakfast.
・I think anything is good during the day, such as taking a walk or going to the library, studying, gathering information on volunteers, or playing online games.
・Also, eat dinner with your family, be sure to take a bath, brush your teeth, and go to bed at a fixed time.
or... anything is fine, so set a goal that you can do without difficulty,
Specifically, “act!” I'm going to do it.

Being “alive” means “breathing.”

“Why do humans breathe?”

This is because my heart stops. That's all, but that is also one truth.

But what can be thought and realized “from the heart” that humans are “alive”... in other words,
“Why do humans live?” The reason you don't have to think about things like that
I feel like it's only when you're “acting” towards a specific goal or purpose.

I'm supporting Kuunori herself to find immediate goals and objectives and be able to “act” concretely, in the shadows.
