Purpose and meaning to life

Perhaps some have to remember that first?

 

I guess if one is finds a purpose in life,that purpose would then give meaning to that life.
Objectively speaking, I personally don't see too much meaning in life itself, other than it is what it is and living it while one can. Myriad purposes/meanings to chose from ,though.

 

I see life as a journey to answers, but the questions never ending.

Its not about just finding ONE ideal, its about finding the ideal answer to every question that pops up. Not making focus of life answering these questions though, but living life in a way that's true to yourself and letting the questions be answered.

 

Life is perception, your reality is percieved differently to the next person, although ultimately you are both perceiving the same thing. Reality is perception, life is reality, what is reality? I believe in two levels of reality, the basic 'I am one being out of a million' and the true 'I am a million beings that are one'.

The purpose? Eternal existence as a universe, we are all the creators of our existence, no point searching for a god or an answer because you are that god and that answer.
The meaning? Find it. It's in there, just remember...

 

God? I don't think so, unless we really want to downgrade the traditional meaning of the term. I'm just a dumb schmuck trying to figure it all out. And I have my own opinions, but I also have a sense of obligation to check them against reason and empirical data which is as close as we get to reality.

 

I'm not religious, I don't mean a religious god, I just mean something more than this. something powerful, not a singular being. Gods just a word that makes it easier for me to explain what I'm trying to say. God doesnt exist but the power in which religious people see god could exist. That's what I mean by God. I think.

 

i think meaning is entirely beside the point.
meaning is an issue created like so many things in belief, for purposes of persuasion.

now how each of us lives, affects statistically the kind of world everyone including our selves has to live in, so it's in our own interests individually as well as collectively, the kinds of examples we set and the kind of markets or incentives the priorities we actually live by create.

so i'm certainly not suggesting indifference to that. just the opposite.
if anything, i'm more inclined to point out how poor a substitute the arbitrariness of organized beliefs are for being conscientious about it.

that being said however. life doesn't NEED "meaning".
life is to be enjoyed as best it is able to be, again within the self discipline of mutual and universal consideration.

 

Wait.... I only said this part.

Just to be clear...

yea sure you did ahhhmmm

 

and precisely this, is inaccurate. what you "knew" before you were born, and that was felt more and rather then "knew", you did so, LONG before you were born into this world, or any other. before the moment of conception, before there was ever even going to be a body for the spirit that is you, to become, in any life, associated with.

really none of this has anything to do with being born, nor the world on which you are born, nor the life form you are born into.

and again i must repeat, it is this nonsense that life must have purpose and meaning, that motivates people to kill themselves when reality forces them to accept that it is.

 

Enjoy it.

Learn about the Universe.

Help others in need.

 

The only purpose to life is to live and be true to one's self. When you lie to yourself, you are betraying that which has the potential to teach someone else.
