I have reason to believe i am going trough the dark night of the soul. Wich is fine and all that, but it causes me to feel like shit for the moment.
Everything, even death, seems hollow and boring to me.
I feel this intens feeling of unhappynes, sadness, melancholy if you will.
If you want a complete description of what exactly it is, google has good results.

Could anyone provide me with some guidance, so that i may awake from this night a well rested man? Or perhaps some real life experiences, its always more interesting than regurgitated googleisms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fie.gif)

You cannot serve both God and Mammon.

QUOTE
It is not wrong to want to live better; what is wrong is a style of life which is presumed to be better when it is directed towards "having" rather than "being," and which wants to have more, not in order to be more but in order to spend life in enjoyment as an end in itself. It is therefore necessary to create lifestyles in which the quest for truth, beauty, goodness and communion with others for the sake of common growth are the factors which determine consumer choices, savings and investments.


One must however be aware of the trap of spiritual materialism.
