Meaning Of Life

Meaning Of Life

Life. It's meaning eludes even the craftiest of it's followers. Why am I here? What is my purpose? If we knew the answers to this, would life even be worth living? Perhaps, the meaning of life is to ponder the very question that this life proposes. Many different people have their own separate perceptions of what life is and how they should
live it. Many other's seem to assume that their purpose is to impose on other's lives. Is that what life is about? Controlling others? I think that everything is what you want it to be, and nothing at the same time.

Just think, how boring would this life be if you knew exactly what it was that you were supposed to accomplish? What would you do after you had completed your purpose. When there's nothing left to strive towards, is there any meaning to life? Perhaps there is no purpose in life. Then what would that mean? Would that mean that we're all just believing in something that isn't real? What if the human race has it's own separate purpose, designed for the entire race, not just the individuals.

Spiders. Their purpose is to cut down on the population of bugs. Plankton, to feed the fish. Flies to help decompose corpses. Dung beetles to eat dung. What if us as humans have no purpose. What if our purpose is to destroy all that God (Or, whoever) has created. From my perspective of things, I can't see a single that that we do other than, use up all of the resources in one area, and then move to another. Humans are by far the most resourceful creatures in the known universe, but also the most detrimental to themselves and their surroundings. I'm not saying that we should conserve our forests, and save the animals. I'm just saying that from my point of view, our purpose in life, is to destroy ourselves.

Why do u want to Know?

I saw a demotivational poster (Yes, there are things like that available for people who are very motivated) a few days back which showed a sinking boat with a man in it and a caption " Maybe the purpose of my life is to be an example for others". U know that is the problem with humans. They think too much. You don't have to look for answers. We are a crazy species. Animals are much more smarter. Some one picks up a stone, all dogs, crows, cats etc etc will scoot for the fear of getting hurt. It is only humans who will stick to their ground wondering whether they are the intended targets. And even if they do realise that they indeed are, they would still be thinking why. I have never hurt a fly in my life, why would he , ... blah, blah. Get a move on man. Start living life instead of looking for answers. In the process you will help others also to have a better life. Maybe that is your purpose.

Hello

Here is the my movie review about "The Secret" http://www.xomba.com/how_to_be_successful_and_the_secret_to_getting_what_you_want Jane

She wondered:

Why is it such a big secret to "think positively"?

That Is Not True At All

There is more than enough to go around for all of us. We are good people. All we have to do is ask ourselves the right questions and we will get what we want out of life. Yes we can be a destructive species but if we are so destructive why are we not all fighting in the war right now? Why are you not stealing from your neighbor? Why are you not blowing stuff up? You CAN go buy a gun right now if you want too! I will post a link about the book "The Secret" later today and hopefully it will help... Jane
