Question:I troll through the murky waters that we call life…and I am stagnant. My emotions have been stolen. I am a stoic, lifeless being that gets by minute to minute, second to second…and yet is ok with that. I don’t want much…I don’t want…I don’t want to want…because that is what causes hurt, and loss, and emptiness. I am empty…a big empty. I’m tired…I am twenty five and tired. I shouldn’t be twenty-five and tired, but I am. No drive, no dedication, no ambition…and the reason…because I am not sure…that in the end…it is worth it.

That is a pretty emotive passage from someone who has had his/her emotions stolen.

Is it worth it? You'll need to define 'it', 'it' and 'worth'.

life is to find purpose. purpose is the blood of exsistance, with this blood we are truly alive.

Life is by nature good and all good things are worth struggle throu uncertainty

This what we call life....

Life is full challenges am I right? so f ur are trapped, find a way to get out of the misery........ You are twenty five but still young and still have to enjoy life............

Just never let the fear keep on striking out, continue in playing the game...

well this means you fail at life

Yes, we must keep plugging away, mustn't we?

pl read some psychology book. Give soul-call to the Mother - Divine. You will be enthusiastic. Pray with me, ' Father, I know Thou dost anticipate my every need . Sustain me according to Thy will"

The world is full of people who need your help. Go to a homeless shelter or other charity. They need you. There is always someone worse off than you, and seeing this really puts things into perspective.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. We all feel empty and cut off from others when we close our hearts.

Trapped...??? Oh my god!!!! At the age of 25 you should not feel that you are trapped in life.No one can be trapped..if god closes one way..it means that he opens another way for our success..it would take some time to search and find that way.In the mean time you should not loose ur hope...You still have age to enjoy ur life.
What ever is the problem.Just face it....Be bold enough to take risk....We have more surprises in our life waiting for us in future...Life would not be the same untill its end...Be happy..Enjoy ur life..Take care..All the best ..Bye..

Was there a time in your life when you had hope and optimism? Was there a time when you thought you could do anything? Was there a time when you thought the world was full of potential adventures?

Think back to this time and recall what inspired you. Meditate on this and ask whatever powers you believe in to give you this spark again.

Be open to new ideas, new people, new situations, new adventures. Break some of your old patterns.

Play as a child would with something, without fear of what others will think, without worry that this act will serve no good purpose. Have some fun, not because you "should" have more fun, but because life is meant to be enjoyed.

Life is a roller-coaster ride. You've been climbing along without being able to see what's ahead. Now is the time for a head-long plunge, for swerving suddenly to the right or the left, for screaming out in joy or terror.

Life as a zombie is not a real life.

Find the spark within you that makes you feel life is worth living.

At 25 you still have many experiences ahead of you. I was 30 and felt like a zombie, but I found romance and sexual adventures for my spark. I was 40 and felt my life had no purpose, but found new people and new perspectives through the Internet.

There is no begining and no end in life. There is only change. Change your behavior. Change your persepective. Change your expectations. Change your Self.

- P.

Ours is not to w.a.n.k. bout why, ours is but to at least try.

I was trapped too but we're a little bit difference. when I was trapped, I'm not happy so I tried to do everything to make myself happy. I've never thought is it worth it. Even though, I'm not trapped anymore but it doesn't mean I'm happy. I just feel better about myself. It's better than don't do anything and think everything are gonna be alright.

Just start to do something, give a try, everything worth to try. Even you get a bad result, it doesn't mean it's not worth. Finally, it'll teach you something. It'll help you find yourself.

I understand that it's not easy. Hope you can find your way out.
