So, about 3 years ago me and three friends of mine decided to go rock climbing with no safety equipment (helmets, ropes...etc). I fell about 60 feet, shattering my pelvis, i also sustained a broken jaw, hand and a collapsed lung with massive internal bleeding. Obviously i survived, but i cant get over the fact that i shouldnt be alive. Everyone tells me after hearing that story that "someone up there still likes you". I cant figure out if i was really meant to survive because i have some greater purpose on this earth, or if i just got extremely lucky due to advances in modern medicine. Another thought i have lately been entertaining is that through social darwinism that i really should have died that day....Any thoughts?

    No, you shouldn't be alive. You aren't lucky. You are blessed by God and it's just proof he's in control and really loves you!

    "Oh noes! I didn't die! :C"
    You lived, someone saved you, people die, they didn't save them. Life, heh?
    It's ok, if you should've had died or lived, that doesn't matter what counts is that you're alive, kickin' and asking that question here!

    Just be glad that you lived and remember that life isn't about dwelling on the past but looking ahead to the future

    You need to stop feeling sorry for your self and count your blessings. Be grateful that you got the chance to see your loved ones and friends another day. You have a purpose, only time will reveal what that purpose is for you. Good luck.

    I've had some exp. in wich I should have died. I learned that it means we're hard-to-kill.It's not that someone likes you 'cuz I'm agnostic. So yes its normal and it makes me remember,everyday, how its life

    Maybe you shouldn't. Why don't you try this?

    I don't think it is normal for you to be feeling this way. Be grateful that you survived. Life your life, you've been given a second chance. Don't mope over the past.

    You have recovered physically, but feel quite mortified by your accident. Try to get over yourself - it was a mistake and you are not perfect. You suffered enough for it.

    Instead learn that you are not invincible, or flawless and acquire some humility. That would be better than the "I don't deserve to live" drama based on an embarrassed & rather too large ego.

    I personally believe in the whole living for a purpose thing because it leads to ambition and discovery and feeling like your destined for something great just sounds interesting,but im the kind of person who likes believing in the dreamy kind of stuff. No one really knows why you survived but you did so,time to live life to the fullest especially since you almost lost that chance. Not saying to go do some crazy stuff like what you just almost died from,but have fun life is short find a girlfriend/boyfriend, make an income,invest money in your hobbies. You know just have fun be happy. =)
