It's pretty simple... why live life if there's no purpose ?

Could be... then again, whenever I blame someone other than me for my failure, I blame fate... or my genes.

It's just that I don't see the point of improving anymore... even if I could, it would only be temporary happiness. And I don't see how I can achieve anything other than that, like getting rid of my ego..

Why though ? Especially if you don't see any progress at all and it just seems useless to even try anymore... trying hard just won't cut it every time.

Sorry to say, but that just seems plain dumb to me, because that doesn't matter either (as you yourself said in the beginning of the sentence). It would matter as much as anything else I would set as my own goal, like killing people.
