What is the benefit of life experience?
Answer:
It seems like an evil spirit has taken hold of you. Trust me when I say that the way you described how you live is the way that the devil wants you to live. "Everything matters to the Lord." You should definitely read your Bible if you have one. God will want to know what you've used your talents on. -As for your miserable friend, you should drag him/her to Church with you as well. -God Bless.
I'd say that if you are not driven to do 'more' with your life, then that is ok for you. Me? I'd go insane from repition and boredom living as you do, but you are right, life experience is painful, scary, and possibly futile. I figure I'll save your type of lifestyle for my aged years, if I'm still around. Peace out.
I don't know if it will matter much when you die. And I think if you're happy with your life, you should stick with it. Coz getting hurt (emotionally, physically, whatever) really sucks. But on the other hand, you're probably missing out on some of the greatest things that could ever happen to you. Like raising a child, which is sometimes enough to make you scream, but definitely worth it all every time your kid says I love you. And sky diving, just to feel the adrenaline rush. I could go on, but like I said, if you're happy, that's good enough.
sounds like an atheist lol. I know how you feel .I am going through depression and i have high anxiety. I would prefer staying in bed and not going to school, not going out because life stinks. I think there is no point in wakuing up at 6am how ppl do to go to work. it doesnt make sense to me. I think ppl should have fun. Travel, read, spend time with family, visit places ect. But i think ''get out and live'' or ''been around the block'' is sort of true. I mean Would you rather die knowing you had fun or do you want to die knowing 34 (and i hope more yrs to come) have been spent in a sheltered life. I say go to the beach, go to the movies, go for a ride, work out, because life is short,. Do this for yourself! Dont do things you dont want to...theres no point.
Build yourself a brick fortress and sit in it all alone. Life expereicnes teach us lessons we wouldnt have otherwise learned.
First of all, not everybody who has been around the block is miserable. Some are, but not everybody.
Hillel, a well-respected scholar in Judaism, came up with this wise piece of advice by asking his own questions: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I?" In English, this would be translated to mean that being either overly selfish or overly selfless is not good. We all need to strive for an equilibrium that we can live with.
I want to ask you some questions too: What gifts do you have to offer the world? If you died tomorrow, what would the rest of us miss by you being gone? The purpose for living is not just for yourself, but in how you affect the lives of other people by the way you are living. Although it may be true that maggots will eat your rotting corpse (and mine too, no doubt), it is also true that when you die, you leave behind your imprint on the world in whatever way you have chosen to live your life.
I'm currently 29 years old, and I have spent over 10 years on a particular personal journey of my own. I haven't traveled the world or even really traveled all that far. What I have done, however, is bring together a group of highly disparate (not desperate) people online who share exactly one thing in common, and I run a website and a few e-mail lists related to this topic. One day, I too shall die, and I hope that when I do, people will remember what I have accomplished not just for myself, as it was partly a selfish act in my case, but for others too.
Therefore, I disagree with your premise. Indeed it does matter what you do or don't do. Choose wisely, because if you choose wrong, you may be forgotten when you die, but if you choose correctly, although your body may be dead, your footprints will be noticed for a long long time.
Good luck on the journey.
I feel the benefit of life experience is.your life does not go in vain waisted away , no one ever knowing you, or why you are here. Don't you think your doing yourself an injustice?Cheating yourself? Missing out on so many happy times because your worried about maybe getting hurt. What if you didn't get hurt. Many people never do. Even if they do, don't you think some good will out weight the bad. If you never try how will you know? Aren't you the least bit curious?If you don't like it then go back to your PS2. Have you ever heard a song by Bet Middler called The Rose? You should listen to it some time. Could you humour me and dowload it? I don't meen to be drilling you but I just feel like if I don't say something, than it will bother me for a long time, that I didn't. Every body should have interaction somewhere along the line.Yes I think it will matter when you die. A good memory of you should live on through someone. Don't you think that could be benificial for someone.
Good Luck
^From what you are saying you have family taking care of you, no ill will, but; what would happen if they weren't there for you and you were alone how would you survive, or do you just curl up into a ball and die, that would be very sad.
Even through Christopher Reeve's life ended way to soon, I doubt he would agree with you, he lived his life to the fullest even after his tragedy and his work lives on to benefit others or maybe your self-centered and just don't care.
It sounds like you're not really happy or you wouldn't be writing this, I believe your afraid of living, true dieing is easy, living is hard, but it's worth the experience.
What you do or don't do may not matter to you, but what about your family don't you think they will care?
Like the Budweiser commercial 'You only go around once in life.' What you don't do in this life time will never be done. If all you want out of life is what you have then you have made the right choice. If there is a challenge in life that you want to explore then you must leave your comfort zone and take a risk.
The benefit is when you get old and no longer have the chance or health to have experiences, you won't be bitter and angry at the young who are out enjoying their lives.
Up is only up from down. Balance is everything. You can't know anything if you experience nothing for yourself. Feeling great or lousy? How will you know the difference?
u r living in an artificial world ,go to the farm of a farmer ,work for 15 days and see the difference
The boast of heraldry,
The pomp of pow'r
And all that beauty, all that wealth ere gave

It sounds like you have talked yourself into (from childhood) being a loner, and you like it that way, and you even site references to back up how you feel, which with a lot of us is not reality because we by our human nature must depend on others to survive while instead you choose to depend on yourself alone, or do you? If you didn't want to change or didn't notice the difference you wouldn't be asking us the question, or the question from your personal standpoint.
If you're trying to "get out" of the situation you have set up for yourself then see a psychologist who will, and over time (would have to be over time since you've spent many years weaving your web) help you to learn about life. Apparently something in your childhood stunted your growth, maybe something that you felt was painful to you and all you remember is the pain.
Pain is growth but that kind of pain isn't the physical or mental pain you describe, so it is not to be avoided.
I had to smile at your comment about people who have been around the block and are miserable. Well I've been around the block many times and I'm certainly not miserable. I don't know how you could speak for me. I don't even know who you were speaking for when you made that general comment.
Well if you live longer you hope to make something productive of what you have been learning.
