God has played a joke on me. I felt so insecure being alone in a new place. I have no friends, families or relatives. It was a feeling of helplessness. Once in a while, I met some kind people who are kind enough to help me out. But afterall, it's my own struggle. Troubles had always been with me. Now I don't know how to live the rest of my life. Please tell me what is the right way.

So, do you come here as a foreign student? Or, have just immigrated here?

My hunch is you're someone previously banned like Me0wkat but just in case...Save yourself further frustration and embarassment.

Hello brother.
God plays joke on no 1.
Times can be rough... but you just gotta stay strong.
No1 is gonna help you 100%..... But you just gotta recognize that every once and a while you may have a blessing, even if it comes in the smallest forms.
For example.... I remember a few months ago I was in another bout of depression. I was struggling with my life. Until one day a strange woman offered me an orange in a very polite and courteous manner (yes its strange... but i loko @ it in another way).
Theres still good out there.

Oh, this is a serious question? Sorry, my bad. Well then, my pearls of wisdom...I look at challenges as good things, an opportunity to meet that challenge and conquer it. The longer you wallow in a 'challenge' as a problem and stay in the 'poor-me' mindset, you'll never overcome or conquer them. It's all in your perception, and yes you can change your perceptions.

Human beings can survive by themselves, don't think you need others to be happy.
Just try and figure out where this stress is coming from, then deal with it. Once you get that sorted out you'll have a clearer focus as to what it is you plan on doing with your existence.
And you could clone those lemons, and make super lemons.
Oh, and life isnt a challenge, life is like a leaf flowing down a river, eventually it stops going and hits the earth. Just be content with what you have, sort out what you are, and realize what you need. Life is joyful, as it should be every moment. Find that inner peace

Without knowing any more about your situation and how you got to be where you are and why you are where you are, any help you get here will just be conjecture and posturing.

Everybody has tough times in their lives. Although you might feel alone, most if not all other people have felt the same as you at some point.
Hopefully, you can remember a time when things were better than they are now. The way to get through this is to know that once again things will be good. It may take a while, but you have to get through this rough patch for the better times to come.
Good luck.

I agree with you...
My life got HUGE and unexpected change/crisis during past three months, and now it is still on the way, back to normal I hope. However, we should stand on our ground, meeting the challenge and conquer it.
Tomorrow will be another day!:)

The best way is to ask anonymous strangers on the internet how to live your life and follow their advice closely, because everything on the internet must be true.

If you're having a bad time in life, maybe try making a positive difference in the world -- it could be something as simple as picking up litter in your neighbourhood. If you realize that you have the power to affect things, you will realize you are really not helpless/powerless. There are always people alot worse off than you in the world. Although you may not really want to focus on other people because you feel your own personal situation is in such shambles, I think you always have the power to make choices in your life, even though these choices may not be ones you like. You have the choice of dwelling on the negative and seeing the glass as half empty, or you can consciously try to make things positive.

Yes, it is hard sometimes. A good thing to do is to get out and join a group or club and make new friends. God will help you out especially if you take the steps to show you are making the effort. God will never abandon you. :)

The family is a very important part of society and a balancing influence on peoples' lives. Without the few real families that are left, society would be in much worse shape.

The OP just said that God played a joke on him, so in the OP's eyes God DID abandon him in his time of need.
The right of way is not through God, my son....:twisted:

People say things when they're hurt that they regret in the future.
Matthew 26:34 - Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee (Peter), That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Matthew 26:74 - Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Matthew 26:75 - And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Um, there is a thing called freedom of speech you know. Whether or not you believe in Jesus, don't you agree that sometimes people say things they regret later? That's pretty common knowledge after you experience life.

Actually, the "People say things when they're hurt that they regret in the future.
" is quite true. Even though I am not Christian but its ignorant to not look at things that make sense.
