In response to:
Without seeking sympathy or any sort, I feel my life is meaningless and I debate wether or not I should take as many sleeping pills as I should, Play chicken with cars on the freeway, or buy a gun and kill myself.

Although there is a part of me that is very religious and I feel God keeps me from it. Comming to know God, which no one will believe from my own testimony, tells me that our purpose is to be servents of the Lord, to find our deepest desires in turn and enjoy life. By servents, people think you miss out on things, but in reality, you are gaining. People often feel as though they are missing out on life, by not making mistakes they later regret. Others can make mistakes, and learn from them, being grateful for the opportunities they were given to realize.

I am going to end up making this into a long thing and this might not all make sense because I have a lot to say and trying to add supporting information or thoughts as you will, in this. But Life was created for purpose, as nothing that is created is without purpose. Man was obviously created, and identified by intelligent design. All things, from pure to man made are created with purpose. Even a piece of trash was created for use. If anything, religion makes sense to me for purpose. Otherwise we are wasting our lives doing things, working and such, that we cannot take with us in death. So if I had not come to see this, I would have already killed myself long ago. Because I would not want to live a life without "True" purpose. I would simply be a creature that feeds off things and takes all for granted.

The End (Yeah, I know I talk too much) Point made

Ecclesiastes 12: 9-14 read as follows

9)And moreover, becuase the preacher was wise, he still touhgt people knowledge; yea, he have good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10)The preacher sought out to find out acceptable words;and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11)The words of the wise are as goads, and nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12)And futher, by these, my son, be admonished; of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13)LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER; FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDENTS;FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN.
14)For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.


According to Gods word The Holy Bible are the words above, and those words were given to Solomon who was the wisest man to ever have lived.He wrote the books Ecclesiastes, and song of Solomon, as well as mnay of the Proverbs, and some of the Psalms.

Forgive me as of now, I am just seeing this. I thank you for your kind words. I feel a little bad, that I do not know you or anything about you. But what you have said has touched me. It is nice to meet you.
