What Does it all Mean?

Lately i can't shake this feeling that i have of constant emptiness... I feel that i lack substance to my life and have once again gone back to a droning routine that tires me just to think about.
I wonder why with all the beauty around me i seem to be blind?
I believe the answer is...

You won't ever really know...

But is that bad considering life in itself is a mystery, why are you born as oppose to any other one of those little swimmers. In part my heart feels that this emptiness comes from the lack of God in my life, yet why is it so hard to keep and maintain a relationship with him?

Coming form a strong Christian background but then losing my diligent practices i find myself trapped in a mental and perhaps spiritual labyrinth with no exit.

I question as to why maintaining such a relationship becomes a difficult task and why it seems to be true for not only God but many things in life. Keep on keeping on, what does that mean... do you just keep doing what you do even if there is no purpose anymore, or do you find purpose in just doing the things that you were doing?

AHHHHHH i know this all seems random and that is because my mind is random and i have a hard time organizing my thoughts but at least i can type them out.

At the end of the day i'm not trying to say i feel sad or lonely or depressed, but i do feel a type of emptiness that has yet to be filled and i hope one day it will be =0)

Until then Joy, Positivity, and Happiness!!!

Philo 5 Notes =0)

Q1: What is Euthanasia?
- is it okay to kill
Q2: Is it ever morally acceptable?
Q3: Should it be legal?

Euthanasia comes from:
-Eu = good
-Thanatos = death

Euthanasia
1) relief of serious pain
2) patient (subject) is unable to commit suicide
3) no expectation of finding a cure

Euthanasia is an action or omission which of itself or by intention causes death, in order to benefit the subject by relieving unbearable suffering

Action vs Omission:
action you do it & omission you don't do it


Involuntary vs. Voluntary vs. Non-voluntary
- don't want it; want it; can't speak for themselves
Voluntary active euthanasia vs. Voluntary passive euthanasia
-you do something to kill them, you stop treatment which leads to death

Rachel argues that passive and active is the same...
