Who said that normal by the definition you provided was the only option for living? That would be a very narrow perspective to say that doing the usual breeder thing was the definition of happiness.

I've examined "normal" in all of its lackluster, and it's not something I would place as a fullfilling life. Yuppies who marry often hate their spouses. They get big houses in the suburbs, yet they're really only renting the very pot they p!ss in. They don't know how to raise their children, and neither does the state or the private school. There is no real family relationships in the picket fence life, just and endless spree of empty consumerism.

In the end, many realise by their late 30's that the life that they were conditioned to aspire to is an empty existence. People who know that they will never have these things early in life are just a little ahead of the game. They are conditioned to be ashamed for being different, but the pariahs who decide to keep living are usually the ones who contribute the most intellectually to society...free of the vices of what the consensus wants your lifestyle to be.

In solitude, the greatest discoveries are made. The best inventions are conceptualized, and the truest realizations of the self are achieved. Emotions are what make people fear solitude, but after only a little time acclimatizing to solitude, you can put emotions in their place and adopt a life based upon something greater than impulses.

Happiness is one of the shallowest of emotions...and after some time of solitude you find that to be true when you interact with people around you who cannot hear, see, smell, or realize anything without a sugar-coated filter of lies in order to cope.

No one should have to mourn that they are missing out on a life of socially acceptable slavery.

What about you own company? What about your friends or further development? Why can't you have a wife or kids? What factors are dictating that you must spend it alone? I would surely manipulate those factors.

That's my life now! That is how my life will end...

Anyway, what keeps me going is I really really love my creativity. I love that I put things on paper and they happen. I feel my creativity is supposed to 'get out there'....so I keep going. I am learning to understand that I will have no one.

id know that what God wants

Well, I would say that not everyone wants to have kids, and that not everyone wants to spend their life with someone. I think some people really love the other things in their life, and they give their lives to everyone else. And some people are happier alone, for some reason.

everyone dies alone; why waste your time?

Happiness like beauty is defined by each individual. A wife and kids might be happiness to certain people and to others it might be aggravation. Some people have goals beyond a wife and kids. You seem to be an extreme extrovert, so it would be an impossible concept to understand.

that's how i'm living it.

Death is inevitable. It's going to happen. We can't know whether death is a blessing, annihilation, or a hell that we can't imagine.

Are you a betting man? Would you risk your unhappiness of the future turning into an immediate hell? If you'd play it safe, and accept death when it comes, that's a logical decision, and that the point of living a life that's unlivable.

Besides, Epicurus would tell you that the only barrier to achieving happiness is your definition of happiness. If you can change your idea of what happiness is, you can achieve your new idea of happiness.

my dear,in the life their are so many things beside sex and so many people who lived without wife and kids.happiness is not objective but it is subjective means depend on you wholly.

If to live alone it is imposed to you - The only one who can find the answer it's you -There is a meaning behind everything. On the other hand I know for sure that God wants us to be happy.

Since 4 years I am a loner, I decided to work on myself, I want to become a better person, learn to Love myself, learn do believe in the Goodness of Life, to Love others, to understand others, to be discipline and lead by the example to influence in a positive way people.

You may have a different reason, the answer will come to you.

Define what is happiness for you, ask for what you want not what you don't want and it will come, you just have to believe.

Take care

Because women are agents of Satan. If you splend to much time with them, you go crazy and want to kill yourself.

Its very telling that no happiness follows "no wife, no kids". You sound like me. I will tell you why you are supposed to wanna live even though you may not have those things that you are instinctually driven to have. You have an xbox, and an ipod. You can buy a sexy car. You can be popular with your cool expensive clothes. kids, ha! Wife, ha! Its all about stuff man! Watch Maury for 5 seconds and you will never trust a woman enough to have kids with her anyway. We are being destroyed. We are putting our faith in material goods instead of family and we are going to perish with a house full of stuff, no kids, no wife, no love, but man, we will have some awesome stuff we haven't paid for yet, thank god for credit cards.

Nobody want to spend there life alone but we have to because we're different. If you feel better to be alone, why don't you choose it. (I don't mean feel better = happy.)

I can tell you that I wouldn't want to live but I already alive. I choose not to kill myself. Finally, I have to accept myself. Life is sad but we have to go no and on. The only thing I can say is because we're human we don't want to lose. Maybe this keep me going.

Because you have will. The right to choose good. To do good. To make a difference in this life. You have a special print that you will leave on this earth. You will influence things and persons that you will not even know about. With your question you have influenced me. The good that you do is eternal. Alone, you cannot be alone only if you want it that way.
You just communicated with Answers, is that alone? Naw!

I am 30 years old, never been married, and have no idea what I am suppose to do with my life. I, however, never doubt the importance of my existence on a level of my reproduction. Some people are here to reproduce and some are here for other reasons. The people that are revered in society are usually the type that dedicate their life to their studies or discoveries the same way "normal" people celebrate "everyday" life. Having children is like discovering a new species of insect.
The most important thing to remember is that your life is not scripted. I grew up without a father, he left when i was 3 months old, and I doubt what kind of father I would be, but know what kind of father I wouldn't be. I do not believe in the constitution of marriage but refuse to give up on it. Anything is possible, who are we to say never.....REALLY
