What's the point of living?

Everything seems to be a meaningless cycle. You're born, you learn, you work and eventually you die. It never ends, and with each new life, the cycle starts again and again and again…

Why do people cling to life? Why would you want to live?

Maybe it's just me. I can't seem to find any particular meaning in life, and all it seems to give you are a bunch of hardships for you to deal with until you're tired.

Tired of life. Tired of living.

It makes you think whether living is worth it, or if you should just fall into a pit of your own sadness and just…die.

Maybe, others are different. They have a reason to live, so that's why they put up with all their burdens. Maybe their reason to live is a loved one, so they live to make that one light in their lives happy…

That's stupid. Why would someone give up their own happiness for another's?

I'm selfish, that's why. I would only think of myself before friends and family, and that is probably why I'm searching for all these non-existent answers.

Heh…it seems if I asked anyone else this, they would practically rip my head off…

Actually, Lloyd would probably be the first to answer with a 'there's no point in dying!' speech, and tell that there's always a bright side to everything.

Wait.

That's it. Going through the trials of life makes the icing on the cake sweeter… And such a bitter cake it is…

Maybe…if I manage to think like that one day, I'll finally appreciate how people live…
