When do you think it's time to give up?

excellent question, if the veiw is only one sided I guess giving up after staring into the void with no self improvement would be a good choice. If there are two people involved (not just yourself in a mirror) Well giving up when there is nothing more to be gained and your losing more than you came in with, prolly then would be the best time. Vegas doesnt look that way by sending everyone home a winner. Spiritual growth may be a foriegn concept to you, but things that make us happy, dont make us AS HAPPY next time around. Same with that which makes us sad, mad. If your talking about giving up on life that is. It is best to give up rather than never surrender at all cost. People tend to believe in a just cause and be driven to the poorhouse hurting everyone around them in the process. Take me for example:) if I cant do it the first time and make it look easy, I never try again. There is nothing more sad than someone who doesnt belong there but believes they do, when you can see they are just self talking their way. It just depends is all, if you think there is more to learn or you know deep down you can do it. Just keep on keeping on as Joe Dirt'e would say as he tries to church it up for you. Its pretty vague your question and sounds suicidal, I know lots of people who "gave up" and life goes on, the world doesnt stop and big flaming space peanuts fall from the sky everyday that have meaning for some, other's its just a big frozen chunk of poopie!

Never give up, unless not giving up is giving in to something undesirable

give up what ... on trying to have a normal life.... immediately its time to give up and go to GOD..
