I tell you what , don't lose faith in any of it, its pretty much all real, its just that you haven't been properly introduced, or you're getting the wrong info or in the wrong place

as far as the world ending? its coming, then you will lose faith and your life be patient

Not to worry...the daily grind of seemingly nothingness you speak of is pretty typical for where you are as the young adult with the young family. Week in week out work, work, work. As if it will never change. Many of us have been where you are now. They are the times of your life. Not as exciting as say, having a moment in the bathroom without a screaming toddler pounding on the door. But it will all pass into history. You'll remember the good times and forget most of the rest. Hit the ATS from time to time, just to remind yourself your a real person who needs a little quiet fun. But, yea, your right,age 30 is about work and family. Life can be a little easier if you grab for the important things and let what society tells you you must have remain on the shelf. Don't be so hard on yourself. Your much smarter now than you were 10 years ago. And 10 years from now who knows how brilliant you'll be.

I can agree with you on this. But I think your not the only one who has been let down by those issues.

The reason is this i have spent countless hours and energy thinking of conspiracy theories that i think its time to grow up.

Well unfortunetly as you grow up you realise that some of those conpiracy theories are possibly true. Don't be turned off because of 2012, there are plenty of things that need to be researched and discussed. Focus on the things that are happening now.

I had some sort of expectation for 2012! Not much but i wanted at least something small to happen and when nothing happened at all my mind was changed and now i think my mind is drastically changing....

What were you expecting to happen? If you were to look at all the problems happening on the planet right now, maybe the 2012 scenario was just a wake up call for something which is coming down the track. We simply cant call it a failure just yet, we have only gone a month and we could also be wrong about the date.. Don't be caught out.. Anything can happen.

You sound unfulfilled as if your expectations were not met. I'm on a quest for answers to all things at all times. My expectations can get the best of me as I'm a perfectionist. I once asked a wise friend of my mine, "Maybe I should lower my expectations so that I don't feel as let down when things don't materialize." He responded, "Maybe you should lose them altogether and focus on the moment at hand." Best advice ever. Kinda similar to eastern philosophy of "go with the flow" or analogy of a river. If you stay in the past and cling to the side of the river, you just make yourself miserable trying to resist the current - plus you get nowhere. You can't go back in time as the current is strong. So go with the current and focus on the next bend in the river. There is no point of thinking what is up ahead as you need to focus on where you are at in the flow.

"Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the journey."

Peace be with you and I wish you well.

Thanks for all those comments my friends

Go outside, gaze up at the stars. Feel the night air on your skin. Notice when you breathe in, and breathe out. What you are experiencing is the NOW and nothing else. Feels good, doesn't it!

Faith is for those that don't know how to appreciate this life. This moment. This pause between non-existence and non-existence. Don't waste NOW on pretend things that won't happen.

Most humans scurry about their lives trying to find rationalism to explain their beliefs and to find a deeper meaning to their life. No matter how long you scurry or how hard you try you always seem to end up back where you started from.

Feeling like a stupid little kid with big ideas and big hopes but no real way of accomplishing most of those dreams.

Life throws you a curve ball and you bend like the wind to not get hit on the nose. Men seems to have it worse since most of us men think we have to be the big protector of our family and then seem to forget we usually have a partner in this family whom we should not forget

Even our children have these same issues to deal with throughout their lives.

Just remember to enjoy the ride on the roller coaster it can be fun and scary at the same time.

When you hit 66 - it is still not the ultimate end of your life and probably you live on in your children if not in the afterlife.
