god made us perfect we mess each other up..... with our selfish way, nasty attitude, and lack of loyalty.

So then why do holy priests and pastors do awful activities then? Aren't they men of God and Christ?

Ok this is going to sound creepy, but reading through this thread really just make me love all you guys so much! I don't have anything to add. I don't want to try to change anybody's view or opinion. I just want to give everybody a hug. I feel ridiculous amounts of well wishing to everyone who's struggling with this right now. And even those who post a little harshly like they have it figured outs YOU too I just love all you humans right now! There is so much in this life to be grateful for, OP please don't get hung up on sensationalist media coverage of tragic and horrific events. Try to connect with a real person today. Try to look someone in they eye and be happy you got to see them in that moment because we're all forever changing.

One of my favorite lyrics when depressed "And the easy way the sun let's out it's sunshine, awe come on come on there is no doubt of sunshine" GO OUT and look for something beautiful.

Maybe some people feel empty because they have TOO much and they have too much free time to think about feeling empty or why they're not happy. In past centuries it was a struggle just to stay alive. You worked all day long growing crops, raising animals for food, chopping wood to stay warm, making clothes. Just putting food on the table and not freezing to death was a 24/7 job. People fell in love, but marriage and relationships were mostly about convenience and predecided for you to further your family. People died frequently, babies died...it was a normal part of life to experience those kind of losses. Now look at today...most of us have quite a lot of free time. Because of technology it's easy to see and hear about things that others have that are better than you. We expect more than just food to eat. We expect the best meals, the nicest flashiest clothes, to take fancy vacations to the other side of the world. We expect to fall madly in love and live happily ever after like we see on TV. When life isn't perfect we feel unsatisfied. We want more and we want it when we want it. If we don't get it or someone else has more than we do than we feel empty. Not to mention all the million media outlets telling us what we should have in order to be happy and successful in life...I doubt people of the past had as much time to think about the kinds of things we worry about today. Survival had to be priority one at all times.

Shrug. I could be way off base but that's my .02.

I love this thread. Kudos to the OP. I believe we need love and to be acknowledged and that comes from social interactions. Sometimes we can be going through a very painful chapter in our lives and once we go hang out with friends, talk it out, bond with family etc....it sometimes makes a difference and we feel better. Everyone needs love.

I used to feel painfully empty and cold inside for years but that was due to constant verbal abuse, neglect, and bigotry caused by various colleagues, relatives, and experts lying to my face repeatedly telling me "Ha ha no you are just too sensitive." When I started doing research and I started learning about "torts" like intentional infliction of emotional distress, discrimination, malfeasance, etc., and I studied up on psychological abuse then is when I learned that I was being pushed around and pushed down by skilled experts of abuse tactics who had absolutely no conscience, no remorse, and no care for me. This empowered me to flush all of their hateful insinuations, slander, and prejudiced evaluations of me right down a figurative toilet. I also learned that I had the right to criticize right back in their face and defend my integrity.

If you don't believe that "experts" can abuse for years look at all these coaches and priests abusing little kids. They got away with reprehensible abuse for way too many years.

What's missing? A realistic outlook on one's life. Way too many people (including posters on here) whine and complain about their life and act as if they have more problems than anyone else in the world. Some people need to step back and be thankful for what they have. The world is not as negative or horrible as the media perceives. And this is coming from someone who does not have a strong belief in God (I'm agnostic with the basis that it is both irrational to say that God exists/ he does not). So overall, the key to happiness is being grateful for what we have. Whether this be a friend or even the internet (which allows us to connect with other people in the world), stop focusing on what you lack and instead appreciate what you have.
