The life and its mystery.

My views on much, of not all, of these are of a religious nature, so I do indeed think about it every so often.

 

Life is very fascinating I guess you could say
It's very unpredictable and lots of plot twists everywhere !
The only thing I really wondered about is War
(After all the killing, what is their left ? )
Sure power, money, women/men are there but that only lasts so long.
Love triumphs all!

 

Contemplating our own existence is something I believe everyone does from time to time, I myself am a dreamer of course growing up pictured myself with a lot of "ifs" what if my family was rich, what if we lived somewhere else, what if I was more social in school and so on. I come from a poor family, we didn't always have food, but we where a loving family but I wondered why I was put here form time to time but I was still happy as a kid, life thought me a great deal cause of it, and Im not going to try to understand why im where I am, cause it is beyond my comprehension.

 

Life is about paying bills and compromising with tyrants.

 

The question, why are we here? Is impossible to answer. It's subjective and beyond human recognition.

See, some will say god created everything and we are here bc he loves us and cares about us and wants to see his creation (us&earth) grow.

I personally believe in God, not so much religion however. I'm catholic in a way, but I believe "God" is an entity or force if you will. The Bible personifies him to make him more comprehensible to us.

To answer your life questions, (not factual, strictly opinionated), this "force" created the world. Over time, scientifically speaking, humans evolved (not from monkeys lol) and that's how it all started. Its a miracle.

This "force" can be translated to "God". It's a natural force, but it's not just nature. Look at humans, trees, water, literally anything. There's no way there can't be a god. This "force" or "god" doesn't even know who we are/care about us, imo. Some will say this is depressing, but I think just the opposite.

I'm not gonna bash specific religions. However, look at almost every religion (except hinduism/buddahism), it's self centered. Even my religion. Catholics are about helping others and living the word of god, but the end game is to get to heaven. With threats of hell and whatnot.

That's why I say I believe in god, not necessarily in religion.

 

Life is sandbox game with repercussions for your actions and a countdown timer

Money is numbers on paper that we put value against. Put society into a situation where money becomes irrelevant and that stack of notes you have is nothing more than toilet paper.

In current day society a person born into a rich family will not get the same reward as a person from a poor background working and saving to buy their first house e.t.c That sense of achievement is what a rich person lacks. However someone from a poor background making it in today's society to be classed as rich would still receive the same sense of achievement.

Also by my standards i consider anyone to be rich who has a house a car a wife and a child with no debt to be rich. Not just the size of the bank account.

Why do we work so hard for a future. Because what else are we going to do ? We go to sleep every night in the hopes that we wake up in the morning to repeat the same things we done yesterday in the hopes that one day we no longer have to repeat what we done previously but instead explore a new chapter.

I think every person has looked up into the stars on a dark night and filled their head with wonder. Curiosity of the unknown in the vastness of space. Is there a god watching me ? Are their aliens ? Do we live in a paradox world or are we in the matrix ? Questions with no reasonable answers. Part of the reason that drives us to explore is to find answers to our questions.

 

I often have these thoughts as well. I think people who are happy have the right values no matter what their life situation is. To understand the universe is to understand how small and insignificant we really are. That alone is enough to get anyone to lighten up.

In all seriousness, yeah, I think every human being contemplates their existence at one point or another. For one of the questions, I really hate to be cliche, but it's cliche for a reason. Money =/= happiness. If someone is poor, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You begin finding joy in other things. I think the richer you are, the more you realize how easy it is to lose it.

 

Life: the game of inhaling.

 

It is if you let it be

 

I find Hinduism very interesting, although I'm born catholic.

I don't like how people are "born into religions." I think they should grow up and find their own way

 

Quite simply. How do you find your answers if you dont wake up?

The truth is you might not find the answers you want and you could end up accepting the life you have lead.

I say this because at 31 years old in the last 10 years i have travelled our home. I have touched every continent we have. And i have met people from a great deal of different backgrounds. And everyone has a different view on life. Some are happy with what they have and some aspire to be more.

Again imho Your bank balance does not define who you are nor does it gain you respect in my books.

If i had advice. Find your own path in this world. And when you find it let me know how.
