Pondering the Meaning of Life
So, what is the meaning of life?
Why are we here?
I love to talk about stuff like this, to hear different perspectives. I think my ideas about why and how we live change as I grow. Right now, I'm thinking life is to be used to learn as many lessons as we can from one another. I find it so amazing that I have relationships with some of you, people so amazing that I could have never imagined getting to know people like you through the internet. I am so stunned at how people find what they need, and who they need, at just the right time. I have gained so much by the experiences I've had with all the people in my life. I feel truly thankful to have met every person that has helped me learn about their perspective on the world.
Sometimes I think that life is just a journey of gaining knowledge... spiritual, historical, practical, all kinds of knowledge. And when you finally figure out the true meaning of life, that is your last moment. You die. As soon as you experience pure peace, acceptance of the state of the world, knowledge as to why things are the way they are, you are complete and ready for the next cycle.
Of course, that sounds crazy. It probably is crazy. It's just what I think right now, this minute of this day. I think that it's kind of a nice thought, that everyone I have known that has died has experienced a sort of "awakening" and that they have simply moved on to the next level. I'm really not sure if that's how it is, but it would be a grand way to go.
