as everyone goes on in their lifes, one question comes at air. Why am I living? This should affect us all, cause if you don´t know why are you living, then why continue living?.
After a good thinking, I just continue living to know my propuse in life. A lot of people kill themself but, when you die, do you know this meaning? That´s why I havent commited suicided haha.
Anyway, you should do this question to you, and answer us, what do you think is your propuse in life

Hey,
Well I know that not many of you are thinking about life from a religious perspective but I will give you one reason what the meaning of life is. Our meaning of life from a religous point of view is to prepare for Jesus' second coming. He once walked on this earth and told us that he will be coming back soon. What we have to do is to live our lives everyday the way Jesus' would. No, I don't mean living without computers or whatever, I mean that we should spend some of our time devoted to the bible and prayer. BUT, one of the easiest things we can do is to help others and give to the poor. I hope this hasn't made your mind go all fuzzy about what I have just wrote. Just read the bible, follow the 10 commandments, pray and you are ALL good! Hope this helps!

I have asked myself this question before...and I have asked others also.
ANd after reading your post it makes me think of a woman I asked a similar question like this to. She was an older woman who suffered from dementia...and I asked her..What's the secret to living a happy and long life?
She simply said with shaking hands...that when we are younger we are in such a hurry...to do this and do that...and never stop to be happy. And when we get older we have to slow down and then we can see happy.
Basically from what she said I took it that life was meant to be savored and enjoyed...whereas the majority of us try to rush it to find something and usually once we find that something we are onto the next thing...so we never fully appreciate what we have.
The meaning of my life? Not exactly sure yet. But I do know this I have made amends with everyone I felt I wronged and know that in the end I will have no regrets in reference to people in my life.
The meaning of life in general? I think it might be progress. From back in the day before man was able to use modern technology to the futuristic day when man discovers the cure to illnesses such as dementia, etc. It is about progress from one generation to the next...and like the little lady told me...maybe we are not getting there because we rush it and miss things.
Thanks for the thoughtful discussion.

Well, thank you for your comment, this really put you to think in a lot of things. As you said, we all rush for a lot of things. But we should stop at time to time.
And about progress, I dont know, cause, well if you think about it, we are going to progress, and progess and evolve maybe, but will this continue forever? and if not, what would the end bring us?
