Am I wrong to feel this way?

No, sometimes life is very hard. I'm very happy but I have my family. I went through stages of depression when trying to find my husband and when trying to have kids with fertility issues. I would say family is the greatest source of happiness other than God, which I'll get to as well. Family was created by God as symbolic for God's family. A mother's love, a father's (unfortunately not everyone has that), spouse, children, etc. So I do think God mourns for people who haven't found it yet. Although he still gives you your current family and there are always people in your life that love you.

The next source of happiness is probably your "life purpose." I wouldn't call it a job though. But if you are self employed and doing what you love you probably have a great sense of happiness. People working in a career think they are happy, but they are actually brainwashed. Schools were designed to brainwash little kids into being good workers where you are treated as a number. This was never Gods original plan. Most people during the time of Jesus were self employed. The corporate ladder is a very corrupt version of God's vision.

The greatest source of happiness is God. The problem is most people don't understand what that means. Does it mean reading the Bible brings you happiness? Maybe 🤔 not always. Or praying? Possibly. I consider being close to God is the greatest source of happiness....above anything or anyone even. How do you get close to God? That's a personal one. For me listening to Christian music and the Bible read aloud makes me feel closer. I will also pray as I fall asleep and God will talk to me in my dreams that way. One day I stopped daydreaming and painted all day. That night I had my first lucid dream. I could talk to God and ask him anything and I could hear his answer in his voice. I also had an angel approach me in my dream. This god like being. I looked at life much different after it.
Did u see the omnipresence ,?when he was talking to you he was talking to me . I'm saying cus i got to know that by the time I asked a question everybody else had a question and his answer was immediate to All . Entertaining the Lord and the angels in the flesh is some awesome stuff and you'll spend a lifetime reflecting all that happened. Good stuff thanks Holy Spirit still the same from Glory to Glory
 
Thanks everyone for the comments... To answer someone else's question @HeIsHere yes i'm aware that X rated content is a sin. That's why i said God might be mad at me for it, and possibly part of the reason why my life currently "sucks". Its just not easy to stop doing something when you do as a form of "coping" with the lack of a real relationship.

I think i'm afraid to give up X rated content, because i don't think i will ever experience intimacy for a long time (or ever, but i hope not). Not saying this is an excuse, i think the bible says to get satisfaction from God and his word, but its still not easy to do.

I do have some ideas of what i want to do with my life. I'm thinking of 2 job choices..truck driving, and law enforcement. All i have is a high school diploma so there aren't many options available for high end jobs (not that they really matter anyway, cuz i hate office jobs and coding/programming, or spending hours at a computer)

with Truck Driving, i can travel the country and actually make good money apparently (near or above 100k a year, depending on the company). But obviously the downside is driving for hours, boredom, etc.

for Law enforcement, i'm thinking of living the Colorado mountains (Aspen, Breckenridge, Telluride, Ouray, etc) to get closer to nature. So imagine policing in mountain towns, getting access to the best nature in the country, little to no crime, and nice communities, etc. the problem is i'm not in the best shape for the acedemy training, and housing in the Colorado mountains will take half the paycheck (around 100k a year)

Overall, i have an interesting choice to make. I Just hope i make the right decision. Right now, i'm leaning towards policing in the mountains, because i really wanna live around nature, and growing up it i always wanted to be a police officer, seeing it as a moral job (even though it's obvious the system is corrupt, but at least in small towns i won't have to deal much with it, and i can actually spend more time helping, rather than punishing and forcing people into a corrupt system, that i myself do not agree with)

Who knows what happens, maybe i might even find a wife in Colorado.

Thank you for the clarification.
Well, you may know this already...

but in case you do not, the X content is and will harm any future relationship, so best to give it up now, put lots of distance between it and any possible future relationships, it absolutely affects your mind. body and soul.

You need to replace the dopamine hit (reward Chemical) with serotonin (sense of over all well being, happiness). There is lots of information available on how to do this, if you are serious you will search it out.

X content is a powerful addiction, possibly only God will be able to deliver you .. you need to ask for it though in earnest.

On of my many jobs in life, was assisting high school students research post-secondary options, job training etc., it sounds like you have a plan, one choice can lead to other choices and things change which keeps life interesting.
Good Bless.

Im guessing you mean after work? The job description will put you in city and suburban areas. That's where traffic is.
There are good heros that I've supported who were police. They were given plenty of credit where due, so I don't paint with the same brush. That even goes for those f🐝i agents paid to read our posts looking for incriminating statements.
I've known a few and served some of their families in our churches. We've been a blessing to each other.

That said, you deserve to know what you will likely be getting into. I might write a book some day and include several chapters with names and places on this subject, the good, the bad and the ugly.
The majority of money that municipalities get after taxes is writing traffic tickets . You will likely be sitting in a car all day making people hate you for taking their money. I have studied LEOs a long time, family and friends in leadership positions too.
I've been told they look at the radar, then for the first tax sticker (state inspection) as every car approaches, then the rear tax sticker (license tag), and some chiefs tell them they need to make more money by lying to build a case against them. You will be taught to lie and to do whatever you can to get others in trouble.
Your conscience will have to change to justify everything you are told to do. Some develope what the Bible calls "a seared conscience".
It will be a sense of morality, but actually virtue signalling.
All the cop shows make it look glamorous and heroic. I know a few who were, but honestly it's nothing like TV and movies.

Guess what one of the highest percentages of psycho/sociopaths rated as of careers is after CEOs ?
I've had family raped, robbed, slandered, and murdered by specific police.
All are not that way, but enough were that I told federal law enforcement in my church who wanted my training that I'd need to get to know them personally before I would train them in restraints, physical combat and related. I've turned away tenured police as well as gang bangers.
From my experience, If I were your Dad or Uncle I would steer you in another direction . If you want to carry a gun and be a BA as some say, develope your character, body, soul and spirit.
Memorize Scripture and be the demons' worst enemy.
I have met a lot of pistol packing preachers and church members who joined me on outdoor adventures, backpacking trips, rafting white water, cave explorations, ski trips, visiting shut ins, nursing homes, helping less fortunate, target shooting, fishing, swimming, wildlife adventures. They were from all walks of life and ages.
Overall, i have an interesting choice to make. I Just hope i make the right decision.

I don't blame you for wanting that. I don't know anyone who enjoys the outdoors more than I do, ESPECIALLY the mountains!
I love hiking up our beautiful mountains in West Virginia. That's one thing that compels me to recover from injuries and get stronger. I want to do that again, and share the good news with my fellow West Virginians as well as the surrounding states again.

The Lord can provide you an honorable job where you won't be told to do things that would violate His word or your conscience.
Who knows what happens, maybe i might even find a wife in Colorado.

There's nothing wrong with moving to Colorado.
If you want a full time job in a specific recreational field, I've heard that it's a state that has a lot in the area of tourism.
That might be worth a search.
 
@ZoomerX ,

I was just clearing my mind from the distractions that evil people, like the ones I made reference to in my last post. BTW I hope you aren't offended, but if I had a son that's what I'd share with him out of love and serious concern. I tried with my little brother but failed. He went into that career path in spite of all the harmful things bad cops did to our honorable, law abiding family. I'll share details if you want, but just need to clear my mind right now to study my Bible and teach later.

I don't know this man's back story, but remember when he didn't have nearly as many subscribers.
Now he's likely able to hike to remote scenic locations in the wilderness full time. His subscriber base # likely provides good pay. His previous job allowed long weekends to go on these trips . He got into major shape for overall fitness. How do I know this? When I find the time, I'll post a response to my question from a previous video if you want and can find it.
He's basically carrying more than soldiers do and for miles without support. We are talking drone, heavy cleavers, cast iron skillet and a Dutch oven! Going from memory, I think he said about 90 pounds. That was up a snow peak. Have you ever put on a 90 pound backpack? I have but when I was much stronger and not traveling far.
The Great news is that you are young enough to get to goals like that with appropriate health coaching and walk with the Lord. See THIS.
Blessings to achieving your dreams.
📖🙂👍🏼

Yeah Dm me, i'd love to know what your experience was.
 
That said, you deserve to know what you will likely be getting into. I might write a book some day and include several chapters with names and places on this subject, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I know exactly what the job can be like. That's why im choosing the Colorado mountains, as a way to escape from all the nonsense of this world.
Your conscience will have to change to justify everything you are told to do. Some develope what the Bible calls "a seared conscience".

I can only hope this doesn't happen with me...but you're probably right.

Unfortunately this is true in a lot of places...But i only plan to write citations when it makes sense (50 in a 25, depending on context, etc)... But yeah, i've heard of cases of ticket money going to funding and stuff. I believe my current state of South Carolina was using ticket money to help fund the police academy here.
I've been told they look at the radar, then for the first tax sticker (state inspection) as every car approaches, then the rear tax sticker (license tag), and some chiefs tell them they need to make more money by lying to build a case against them. You will be taught to lie and to do whatever you can to get others in trouble.
Well hopefully the place i wanna move to won't require me to do much of this.
 
Yeah Dm me, i'd love to know what your experience was.
I'd be more than happy to.
I just don't have membership privileges as all funds are going towards modest living expenses.
They require paid membership to have Direct Message options.
Please pray that God would place it on someone's heart to donate a membership to the Administrator on behalf of me.
That would allow me to further help those who reach out for Health Consultations.

Your complaints are entirely valid.

You didn't inherit a Mayberry life. In fact, your generation inherited the type of life that wonders if a Mayberry can be et.

And if we're going to be perfectly honest, there is a chance that it wont get any better in your lifetime. The closest thing to relief could very well be the beast system. And that's not hyperbole. So waiting for optimal conditions isn't going to be your strategy here.

Now, having said all that, Joseph (until Benjamin), David, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Solomon, and Gideon were all the youngest. There's a pattern there so consistent you could true a rule to it.

Find everyone you can possibly blame and remove them from the equation. Guilty or not, that doesn't really matter to your situation. That's really just us looking for a lifeboat instead of considering our circumstances. Blame is a distraction. Even if the whole world agreed with us and said, "Yup, it's their fault." That still don't change our state. So now what? Now all that's left is what we do.

Twenty-four. I have a daughter about your age. Young man, you are PRIME. Get a trade. Carpentry, electrician, machinist, welder, teamster, fitter. All of them have a hefty margin against AI replacement. There's plenty of money left out there. All you have to do is show up.

You'll get your hot-rod. But look to your mother, your future wife, your children, etc. They're coming. The days are coming where you'll wish you were still a virgin. :ROFL: But really, helping your mom will be like getting paid twice.

Anyway, my coffee cup is empty. Feel free to message me or email me or whatever.

I guess i can only hope
