"What is the meaning of life?" - I have never even for a split second thought about it. Is there a point? I have not even questioned why my mum passed away when me & my brothers were so young, why other ppl have complete loving families while I don't even live with my father...

i wish your friend all the best...

You are right there. There is no point in dwelling in questions that have no definite answers, in problems that have no solutions. But I guess when one is trapped in the vicious cycle, he really needs the right person, event or moment to pull him out from the whirlpool.

I really hope that this friend of mine can accept his differences soon.
