" - What is the meaning of life for a cucumber? None. But a cucumber, they say, lives, although I think it exists. If a person exists biologically, then it is not life. Life is when you love, only then it is life, and if you do not love, then you exist. By the way, when you are loved, but you do not love, then you also exist. Therefore, in order to see the meaning of life, you need to do at least minimal things: try to do something for others, this will move you from the point, but all on the condition that you are really looking for meaning, and not whining, using me as a rag. Sign up as a volunteer, for example, to be useful to others, feed the homeless - this will definitely affect you. Even if at first all this seems artificial, but you still show love - not to love, but to show love from the point of view of those people to whom you show it.
You say: "I don't see the point in life" - what life? Earthly or eternal? And we don't know what eternal life will be like there. Many somehow convince themselves, draw the pictures of eternity that they like best, based on their ideologies, but it's all subjective. Is it possible to somehow prove whether there is something there or not? I can't, I just believe. And all people actually do the same: "I think", "I believe", "I feel", etc., but again, it's all very subjective. I believe in God. But you still have nothing to lose, and it won't get any worse, so try to challenge yourself in another way: live a real Christian life for a month. Read the New Testament every day, at least 2 chapters, pray for 5 minutes during the day and at least in the evening, go to church on Saturday and Sunday. Just a month, and then take it seriously and, as any skepticism requires, analyze before and after. Be a complete skeptic. Then come and tell me.
Or, if you are afraid to somehow admit, even over time, that God exists, then try to contact those people who were in your situation and who are now enjoying life. Try to understand them, you do not have to live their life exactly, copy everything, but take their core and live the same way for a month.
In general, change your lifestyle. There is another phrase, said the Apostle Paul: "bad company corrupts good morals." Maybe I see what is happening in you - maybe this society is pulling you along? But, here, of course, you must act. If you do not want to do anything, but are only going to cry all your life, then this is very sad, and of course will lead to suicide.
- And if the case is difficult, for example, my friend was a victim of violence, it broke her psychologically, what to do?
- I'm sorry. But when this is the case, then here we need specifics for each person, to know at least something about them. I would not like to say anything specific here, everything is really very difficult. You yourself see how you can help a specific person. Sometimes just listening and being there, sharing their pain - that's already a lot. I recently talked to one girl, I've been listening to her for about the last year. I listened to her a little, when I had time. And the other day I talked to her for almost three hours. Only a year later, and then, at the end of our three-hour conversation, she said that when she was little, her own brother raped her....And I didn't even think that her problems were actually deeper... So, you see, the puzzle came together... A year later...
Give them a chance to talk, it can mean a lot to them.
So I can't give them any specific advice here, each case is very individual. But be there, show love, it is very necessary, as well as support and attention. You can offer to do something together, for example. Or, you know, lie, say that you need some very important help, let this person spend the whole day with you, let him feel needed. Or even if not a day, then you can accidentally forget a pen, or intentionally make it so that you need something, even the smallest, knowing that the person will help you, he has the resources for this. Be a light for a person, and help light a fire in him. And then God will manage everything...."
