I feel today that I dislike life and its burdens. I did not feel this yesterday.

Question:Yes, discontent is common whrn you do not achieve anything for yourself. When you are selfish, you feel didconted. When you do something for others, this feeling will never be there, you only try to do better the next time to see others more happy.
The life looks like a burden when you think doing for some one dear to you is a liability. You have to leave your own conforts or life of comforts for doing these things, so a feeling of discontent is natural. We are human beings and we are very sentimental, so this feeling could come to you at any point of time.

What are you talking about when you say "I?" If you do not feel that life is how it should be, there is nothing stopping you from changing it. You should find yourself and only do what you beleive to be right, then you will be happy!

I think it is only natural to sometimes be overwhelmed by things you feel you do not directly control.

I often wonder if this education is for me, or for society.

The discontent with life is common in that warfare adds to it.

The Right To Peace as right for citizens worldwide could alleviate it if put in the Constituitions of each nation.

The other things are feelings people feel occaisonally a sense of I am not looking forward to that particular task could I put it off.

That's life...

forever changing, everyday is a new journey.

Sometimes we hate this journey, and other times we're in love with it. When you learn to believe in yourself and appreciate what you have -- then discontent can't break your spirits.

discontent is common it is how we let ourselves know that we want something better and it is time to move on. if you feel like this for a while then i would do something about it. if it comes and goes you are probably just having a bad day.

YES it is common, but tomorrow is a new day.

Discontent is bad and very good. Especially if your in the philosophy section.

Let me explain further.

When your in discontent. Something outside your control has got your attention. You try to shrug it away, but it grows with more intensity that you become consumed and wallow in pity. You wonder how you can feel so low and also ponder if anyone else has felt so low. Then you begin to reflect upon your past and count the bad things that may have happened to you.

But

It does not end there. There is another side to it. Your misery can become a spark of creativity. As an artist who feels strained and compelled to express their misery of life, their art begins to take on meaning. Existence in this life now begins to ask of you, what can you create out of your feelings?

Will you sit and mourn for your feelings or will you use the intense energy to express the depths of your worries. Many philosophers have felt discontent and struggle to understand why they think of the world differently to others. Reach out to us with your emotions and tell others how you feel.

Express yourself.

It happens. you can make an effort to change the day. Or you can throw a self pitty party. Or you make a decision to just hang in there and be negative.

Go for a brisk walk

Oh yeah...if you knew yesterday what you know today huh?

Life was footloose and fancy free but the more responsibilities you take on the more burdensome life gets. Not everyone has money coming out of their yahoo, and it's not even money, when you have kids you worry about them, if they're late or sick or away, etc. and then if you have elderly parents, just when you're done with the kids you got them to worry about, or both...welcome to life. Enjoy youth while you can it passes VERY quickly.

Yup - we only get to strive for happiness and occasionally achieve it.

It would be valueless if we experienced it all the time.

I don't know you well enough to say for sure what is going on with you. It is possible that you could be entering a period of depression. If you keep on feeling this way for about a month, it would be a good idea for you to seek out professional help.
