What is the meaning of life?
Live? Therefore I am cognizant?
Live? To appreciate being alive?
Live? To create life?
Why do all organisms exist? To multiply
Are all organisms working (consciously or un-consciously) towards an inherent species specific goal? (See Trees, Mice, Worms, Humans) If left un-abated would not each of these consume an entire space capable of supporting said species?
Common Denominator: All organisms need resources, as resources = survive = thrive = dominate.
Is creating Life a biproduct OF life or the catalyst?
Why am I here?
Does it matter?
Why is taking life so much easier than creating life?
If appreciation = the goal of living then life = awareness of that goal
Am I appreciative of my life?
Yes, but not fully (can one ever FULLY appreciate life?)
Why? society/community expectations
Why? order= species success (See eg, LONE WOLF, successful initially but fails long term vs the "Pack")
Is the Pack right because it sets the expectation of correctness?
Is going the opposite direction of society the right thing to do?
Yes- Why? Because it's the hardest act to accomplish
Leave all my "society measured" SUCCESS!
HA! I'm so normal, so expected
No- Why? Societal behavior is coded into my DNA: College, Job, $, House, Family, Retirement etc...
Where is the Freedom
I am scripted...literally
I was born and I will die
yet creating life almost demands adherence to society/order/community
How could I deprive my 2 boys of the world I grew up in?
Why wouldn't I?
Why would I?
My thoughts, my paradigm for parenting is so routed in my expected social world that I don't even consider it's implications to my children
At what stage in history was there happiness? So strife, war, hunger, disease, death? None.
That is why the creation of heave or any other afterlife is vital to the human species. Our mental abilities to question have grown far faster than our physical abilities to answer.
Nothing is everything and Everything is nothing
Will we ever escape death? No, so we must accept it.
What is the meaning of life?
Living
Loving
Awareness
Appreciation
Reproduction
If Reproduction = Living, Loving, Awareness and Appreciation then:
We create life because we appreciate it
We create life because we are living
We create life because of Loving another human
We create life because we are aware of our species need to reproduce.
I am Living Life, I am of an existence.
