Contemplating Continuing

Why should I keep going? Why should I work so hard for pain and suffering? What is there to gain? Wisdom? Completion? That's not going to help, not any more Not when there is no longer anyone to share it with Not when I’m all alone in a world overflowing with mindless life So tell me why I have to stay in a world that had nothing left to find Nothing left to discover or share No words heard when I try to help make this place better Now tell me why I am needed in such an un-wanting place? Because if you don't I will leave and never come back

I couldn't have said it any better than Karen, so I won't. A Netflix special I just saw "13 Reasons Why" the main character had the same questions.

Very good questions. Some hold answers and some you will have to continue on to find.
