The Meaning

by The Truth (writer), , October 25, 2011

The meaning of life.. impossible to answer? or the question no one wants to answer?

The hardest question to answer is, "What is the meaning of life?" Sure, we can answer it with some well-thought out answer that we read in a philosophical book, but what is the real answer? And how do we find it? Does the bible hold the answer? Does a crazed activist trying to get us to believe in the 2012 scare have the answer? Will we ever know the real answer?

Maybe that's the answer... maybe the ability to have so many different answers IS the answer..

People are a strange creature.. we have the ability to complain, to talk, to waste resources, TO THINK!

I know alot of people don't believe in God or Heaven or anything like that, but I ask you as your reading this to open up your mind for a bit, just to read this article and think.

What if God put us on this planet to have the ability to live and die. To complain and be satisfied. To be able to become and atheist or a follow a religion? Perhaps that is the meaning of life.. The ability to do all those things and still want more out of God... It's sad and true... When things are going horrible... we blame everyone but ourselves, but that's what so beautiful about free will, we can do that. However, just because we can do that, should we?

The meaning if life is a hard question to answer, but why is it so hard to answer? Perhaps it's us, people, who force the answer away when it's right in front of us. Perhaps it's because people look down on people who believe in God or believe in something they think is right. Or maybe, just maybe, people.. just don't want to know the true meaning of life... Think about it, would you want to know something that could crush your beliefs and destroy everything you thought was true?

Maybe that's why we will never know... or want to know...

I think we all have our own answer to that question and it does also have to do with what our own beliefs are.

If there was an actual (correct answer) to all mankind, then YES, I personally would want to know what it was even if it may destroy what ever it was I believed in.

Here's a little story that floats around the Buddhist circles...

After climbing a perilously high mountain, a monk finally reaches the great Sage who resides there. Breathlessly he asks, "What is the meaning of life?"

The Sage looks upon the monk and inquires, "Have you had your dinner?"

The monk nods and responds, "Yes."

"Then," says the Sage, "go and wash your bowl."
