Am I just turning food into sh*t?

[txag007]

Hi Johnny,

I read the responses to this thread. All of the suggestions like take up a new hobby, start a family, things like that are great, but all they offer are temporary fulfillment. That empty feeling will come back eventually.

What you are missing in your life is a relationship with Jesus Christ. I know from personal experience that allowing Jesus into your heart and living in complete reliance to Him is THE most fulfilling thing in the world.

If you'd like to know more about that, feel free to PM me. It's like Jesus said in the Bible to the woman at the well, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

Have a great day!

You people are like vultures. It's sickening.

Maybe I'm spoiled because thanks to poker I have more money than a 23 year old could possibly need and no family to support.

You say you have no family to support right now. I think you will find more meaning with a few more years of perspective and a family you love.

Ask some coal miner how he finds meaning in digging underground in a cave all day, every day. His family, most likely.

Not saying you can't be fulfilled as an individual, just that loved ones add meaning to the mundane routines of our lives.

Your Jesus sounds like a bit of a narcissist.

I'm sure you've heard the trilemma.

I think Jesus would agree with the Buddha quotes.

When I was in your state of mind (about 10 years ago), the unabomber's manifesto helped me turn things around, along with some existential hiking in the mountains for about a month.

I don't know if OP is already a keen hiker, but I couldn't agree more. There really is nothing like it for cleansing the soul.

It won't make life's problems disappear, but it gives you a hell of a different perspective.

don't you enjoy anything?

video games, sports, music, yachting?...

there is no greater meaning to life...but in realizing this, most of us are still happy..because we do what makes us happy..

if your job isn't worth what you get out of the money you make, then stop..perhaps you'd be happier living a simpler life.

as far as finding christ goes...it is certainly not necessary to be happy..bt it does make some people happy..if there is nothing else, then maybe you should try that (note that you should try many religions though). although I'm worried that it will harm society as a whole..if you don't get satisfaction out of knowing that you are not helping to cause harm, then then there's no reason not to try to trick yourself into believing what makes you feel better.

Allow me.
Vultures circle the skies waiting for the smell of a weakened animal, then descend to prey on it.
'You people' circle the forums waiting for a smell of desperation, then offer up 'Jesus is the answer'.

Just as the vulture will never succeed in trying to feed on healthy game, no stable, happy human will ever have reason to cling to superstitions.

See it now?

No OP, you're also turning oxygen into carbon dioxide. Try to have fun in the meantime.

I have fun by beating people at games. Later I'll have kids and beat them at games.
